Best Lighting And Power in Columbus OH

We continue to have a wonderful experience with Safe Electric. They are always on time, polite and professional. They have done exceptional work for us and we wouldn’t consider using any other company.

I was hesitant to have a licensed electrician come and repair/replace our outdoor outlet in our screened patio. After all, I've been dealing with less-than-stellar contractors for the past 6 years, and that - unfortunately - seems to be the norm these days. Affordable translates to shoddy work and an I-don't-care attitude in many cases. However, Anthony proved yesterday that this isn't always so.

I'd missed our first scheduled appointment as a result of a personal tragedy we'd endured, and Anthony was very understanding and professional about the matter and instantly offered to reschedule. I'm quite pleased I made the decision to do just that. While this business is exceptionally busy with/for other customers, Anthony still made time to squeeze my partner and I into his schedule.

I will admit, when Anthony and his apprentice arrived for our service appointment, I was a bit...surprised. He was not at all what I expected. To be quite honest, I expected someone...well, OLDER. I know that was an unfair assumption and expectation, but I equated age with experience. I quickly found out that with Anthony, once again I was proven wrong...

Anthony and his apprentice, Thomas, set to work straightaway once shown the trouble spot and my hopes for the task were communicated to them. All the while, both of them were very helpful in answering questions, providing feedback, and conversing in general, and did not become annoyed a single time that I was talking their heads off. Once they accurately assessed the situation, Anthony outlined what he was going to do in order to rectify it, which actually went well above and beyond what I had expected to see accomplished at the end of the job!

By the conclusion of the task, we'd received an excellent, to-code solution to our issue. So, why did I not rate a star higher, for a 5 Star Review? Just a few things I felt should have been done differently in the course of their work. First, when the main power needed to be turned off instead of just a breaker or two, my partner, Darell, should have been notified of that since he was working from home that day, and could have potentially been in the middle of a call with a client when power was lost. This could have created an issue for Darell with his Supervisors. Second, a notch was cut into one of our secondary support beams when the original plan was to run wires a certain location, and in the end that ended up not being the case. An albeit-small piece of structure was needlessly removed (and left unfinished) before the final plan of execution had been determined and carried out. This shouldn't ever happen. Finally, regardless of the fact that some of the work carried out to resolve our electrical issue was conducted in an unfinished, utilitarian part of our basement, the small mess made when having notched out our support beam and stripping wiring to install a new receptacle should have been cleaned up and instead was left for us to deal with. Somewhat small matters, which is why only one star was deducted, but relevant nonetheless. Five stars are reserved for truly perfect transactions in my world, and while Anthony definitely has potential to receive nothing but that from all future customers, there is a little room for improvement.

Would I have Anthony and others from Buckeye Electric of Upper Arlington back to do more work? Would I recommend them to friends and family? Without a single moment's hesitation, and I'm already planning on scheduling a few more tasks to be carried out by them in the near future. The value received for the money, the friendly, knowledgeable service, receiving quality work, etc., all add up to an electrical service company that you will HAPPILY keep in your contacts! You'll wish ALL your contractors/handypeople were on this level, I'm sure of it.

Great company and great people to work with. They have helped us out many times on some project. Never a let down. Thank you for all your help!

We called James M. Hartley we needed some electrical work done. He was very honest told us what we need and didn’t need. He fixed are problems, his prices was reasonable we will be calling him again. I will recommend highly to my family and friends.

We hired Confident Electric to rewire our electrical box for our Westerville uptown business-Captivating Canines. Paul came and gave and accurate bid and scope of work and was extremely professional the entire time. Work was completed at a reasonable price and in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Confident Electric for any electrical need you may have. Paul was great!

We dealt with another electric company for a while, but that company frequently didn't answer calls during business hours, so we love that phone calls are accepted at Efficient Electric, even past regular business hours. They are prompt to set up appointments and we are very satisfied with their customer service and their work. After receiving the invoice, we are happy to say that this company is very cost effective too!

I called this business, as my son recommended them. They said they could be here today, between, 10 am and noon to give me an estimate. I took the morning off of work to meet them. I got a call, at 11 am, that they were running behind, all the people were taking longer on their jobs then planned. Then they called back at noon, which is when they should have been here, and they said no one was free/able to come out still. I told them I had an appt at 1 pm (for work), and couldn't just sit here all day long waiting. They asked if I wanted to re-schedule????? Wait you are the ones that scheduled the appointment, knowing you had no one to come and give me an estimate and were just hoping someone got done early enough to come here during the 10 am to noon time to give me an estimate!!! This is not the way to do business!!! You should pay me for the four hours I sat here waiting for you to come give me just an estimate, would much prefer one on the phone, rather then coming here!! I definitely wouldn't recommend them and this is the way they conduct business!!!

Big City Electric is an amazing company to work with. Everyone we worked with was super helpful and positive, answering all our questions and problem solving with us too. I highly recommend them!

We have used KAP Electric a few times now and they have always been great. They even helped deal with our home warranty provider to get service covered. We plan on using them for our future electrical needs.

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!

We had two outlets die at our house. My husband and our neighbor tried to fix it but couldn't figure out what was wrong. I called Excel Electric and he said look for a GFI switch to reset. It turns out we have a GFI in our garage it was hidden by our son's senior banner. So he helped me fix it just by a phone call. That shows honesty and a desire not to just make money. Good character has been hard for us to find amoung larger contracting companies. We will definitely call him again for work.

Bob took out 2 very old light fixtures in our bathroom. He converted one to a light/fan combo and moved the other from the ceiling to the wall. They both look great and will be the perfect addition to our bathroom remodel. He was professional and prompt, easy to communicate with and gave honest advice and feedback on what he thought would be the best course of action for the electrical work. I would highly recommend Bob for any electrical work needs!

Excellent service! The crew was prompt, diligent, and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!

Their trucks are marked so at least I can call them out on their poor driving skills. Too busy texting a driving to care about the safety of the people around them.

Bradley came out to my house this summer to replace old knob and tube wiring at my house. The crew was fantastic and the did great work. There were even a few follow up issues the next week or two and they came out to make sure everything was done properly. I was very appreciative for the work they did.

Bah did an amazing job troubleshooting and repairing a difficult issue with my upstairs wiring. Quick and great work, 100% would recommend.

Worthington Career Services is grateful to Countryside Electric for the great work they did in accommodating us with a generator. They are a very dependable family-owned business and care about the customer as opposed to only doing the job. We will be contracting them in the future for additional projects. It's a comfort to know that we have quality electricians!

Fixed a potential electrical hazard created by previous electric contractor. Great job, price, and value.

Great place to work. Everyone is so nice and it's like being a part of a family. They are also a great place to advance if you have a slight knowledge of electric. I like the concept of what they are doing just watch out for butt sniffers and the usual know it all's. Like I said it's definitely a place you can accelerate your career given the talent there is limited to high school kids taking vocational training...and guys that are ready to retire. I actually got fired because of a butt sniffer but I'll give them props for recognizing talent. They treated me good until a ringworm started sniffing around the brown place on the boss...lol
