Best Can Lighting in Columbus OH

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.

Technician was great, very professional and fixed the problem quickly. Overpriced for the service that was provided.

I wish I could give more than five stars. Jim was able to arrive early and fixed three issues in less than an hour. Very polite and professional. Explained everything he was doing very clearly. Very reasonable price for all of the work that he did.

Dude was working on lights in my store and couldn't get me pricing in a week then decided to not take the job anymore. Really left me hanging.

I will be using the company again. He was on time and very professional. The house had real old wiring from the 40s that was a mess but technician had it figured out in no time

We have used Keith's services 4 different times now. Each time, he has done an excellent job. In addition, he responds timely whenever we call, even when leaving a message. He is always polite and professional, as well as willing to explain the projects and options with us. We'll continue to use him when electrical items pop up.

Had a few estimates and this was the most reasonable one. The work was completed the very next day. The electricians were prompt, courteous, neat and very hardworking. The job was impeccable. Ernest refused payment until the car was home and could test the charger. Only then was the invoice sent. Highly recommend and will use again for our electrical needs!

Very Professional ,efficient and very clean I would strongly recommend this business!!!

Prompt service, great price, even better work. Top notch!! Thank you fir re-doing my kitchen and daughters room :)

I lost power at my coffee shop and they came in within an hour's call. Looked at everything in detail, they were honest and efficient. Ended up being an issue with AEP. Stayed till I finished my call to them to make sure they would send someone over to get things fixed.

The experience was electrifying!! ESI's people are always a pleasure to work with. Always professional and highly skilled at whatever we need for them to do. Highly recommend using them for your electrical needs.

Had their crew out and they did an amazing job! Very personable and professional! 5stars!!

Would not recommend. We hired them to replace our electrical panel, install new light fixtures and new recessed lighting. On our electrical panel about half of the switches are labeled unknown and our recessed lights make a loud buzzing noise. When we asked them to come back and look at the recessed lights, the guy just said well I can't hear anything. Now we have to pay another electrician to come and fix them.
