"Called 6/20/19. First available appointment 7/11/19. I found another company who came 6/27/19 for free estimate and they did repair the light. Aside from having to wait 3 weeks, they charge $69.00 service fee to come out. They also do electrical house check at that time."

"To begin with, they responded. That seems to be difficult for many electricians to do. Haywood Electric responded to our inquiry on Home Advisor within a few minutes. From that moment on, it was nothing but smooth sailing. I was able to arrange the work that I needed via a few texts. Their electrician showed up the next business day. The electrician was professional, courteous and friendly. He completed the work within the time frame he quoted me. To top it all off, the final bill was $200 LESS than the original estimate. I would recommend Haywood Electric to anyone in need of electric work."

"Jim can solve problems well. He started the job very soon after we settled on the details, and he got it done on time, and now my EV car is charging smoothly. I am pleased with the outcome! Problems that arose included having to move electrical boxes and redigging a trench, and yet he still got it done on time. His services are relatively expensive I’m guessing, but he’s knowledgeable about a variety of things that turn out to be really helpful when you run into problems (such as poorly done existing wiring). My electrical panel was a mess and he fixed it up nicely."

"Mr.Electic and Ryan, as well as the electrician, were all amazing. My electric panel burned out at night. I called them at 10pm and they had a representative at my house the following morning. They're quote was within market rates with a bit of an expected mark-up for urgency. It was definitely reasonably priced, especially since i couldn't find anyone else able to do the job right away. Long story short, the electrician was at my house the very next day after the quote and did an AMAZING job installing a larger panel. They needed to cut the wall to make more space and did it in a way that is practically invisible from the outside. You really cannot go wrong with this provider."

"These guys ran original wiring from the electric panel to the garage, installed lights, outlets, an outside socket and exterior lights. The garage had one light bulb and one outlet. I couldn't be happier with the quality of the work or the price. I just wish I had taken before and after pictures. They are on my agenda for further renovations."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

If your Kent home has flickering lights, frequent breaker trips, or outlets that feel warm, it’s a good time to consider electrical projects. Homes in Kent built before the 1970s, especially those with outdated panels or knob-and-tube wiring, should be evaluated. Planning upgrades before winter or after heavy storms is smart, as local weather can impact both safety and project timing.

Helpful?

In Kent, hidden costs for electrical projects often include permit and inspection fees, code compliance upgrades such as installing GFCI and AFCI outlets, and rewiring that may be needed in older homes. Additional expenses can arise from trenching through dense local soil for underground wiring, weather-related delays during Kent’s winter months, utility connection fees, and setting up temporary power for larger projects.

Helpful?

In Kent, warning signs that electrical work may need to be redone include exposed or overcrowded junction boxes, mismatched wiring, or extension cords used as permanent solutions. If you notice flickering lights, breakers that won’t reset, or a lack of documentation for past work, it’s wise to have a professional review the installation to ensure it meets current Ohio Electrical Code standards.

Helpful?

To make electrical projects safer for families in Kent, use tamper-resistant outlets and install GFCI protection in areas like basements and playrooms. Keep outlets away from water sources and secure electrical panels with locks. For pet safety, choose cord protectors and consider elevated outlets. Weatherproof outdoor connections to handle Kent’s winter conditions, and schedule regular safety inspections for ongoing peace of mind.

Helpful?

Your Kent home is a strong candidate for electrical projects if it was built before the 1980s, has original or aluminum wiring, or lacks modern GFCI protection. Homes with 100-amp service, unfinished basements, or limited circuits often benefit from upgrades. Properties near Kent State University or in established neighborhoods may also see improved energy efficiency and rental appeal with updated electrical systems.
