Best 24hr Service in Columbus OH
Electrician
TLDR: Buckeye Electric of Upper Arlington (BEUA) fulfilled our electrical needs quickly and thoroughly. By far the best quote we received for the work. Inspection passed with flying colors. Would recommend using them.
Our home inspector mentioned we should think about upgrading our panel for safety reasons. Our former panel was a Pushmatic 150AMP panel, which, if you look up info on them, it’s not great. We wanTed to replace that panel and upgrade to 200AMP service and have fan installed in our master bedroom.
I did not grow up in the Columbus area, so I had no idea who to contact for electrical work or what to expect to pay. My father worked construction his whole life and had many connections. I asked him to reach out to his electrician friend back home to get an idea about what to expect for the cost of the work (this quote I could trust).
After hearing back from my father’s electrician, I set out calling/emailing numerous Columbus area based electrical companies for visits. I received multiple quotes, all varying in price. BEUA was very close to the quote my father’s electrician told me. I knew I could trust that they weren’t over charging and gave an honest quote.
BEUA came out the following week and replaced the panel and installed the ceiling fan over the course of two days. Panel was replaced on day one and took a few hours. Tony and Tommy did the install, and were very informative as to what was happening and when power was being disconnecTed and reconnecTed.
During the ceiling fan install, Tony informed us that the down rods we purchased didn’t fit the fans we purchased, so my wife made an impromptu visit to ‘Orange Big Box Store’ to exchange the fans. This was really the only hiccup and was our own fault. We ordered the fans and downrods on our own, and didn’t realize downrods weren’t universal…
I would recommend using BEUA if you have any electrical needs. Thank you to everyone at Buckeye Electric of Upper Arlington!
P.S. Always get multiple quotes as we found out one ‘highly raTed’ company quoTed us the work would cost over 3x more than what my father’s electrician would have charged us.
