Best Whole House Electrical in Columbus OH

I needed an outdoor outlet fixed to connect a swimming pool pump. Was very pleased with the quick response and ability to schedule within 48 hours. The electrician was stuck on another job, and I was notified immediately. I appreciated being kept in the loop. Was very pleased with the work and their ability to trouble shoot. Will definitely use Safe Electric again!

After having a guy come do an estimate, I cannot get anyone to call, text or email back to set up a time to simply answer a question or possibly ever do any repairs. Why take time for an estimate if you don't follow up at all or want work? The job would have been over a thousand, so not just a tiny one outlet not worth the time. Very frustrating when needing work done to have wasted this time trusting they'd follow through. I'd steer clear of this company. There are much more reliable electricians to hire. I am trying very hard to assist my 92 year old father to repair needed items at his home. He thought since this company is directly across the street from his home they'd offer him good and fair service.

EDIT...They say I should be patient due to their scheduling issues due to Covid. I wasn't even trying to get on the schedule. I had one question...one small question needing clarification. We're all slammed due to a crazy past year...I'm totally understanding of that but it's still very easy to offer kind, courteous follow up.
They did an estimate for the wrong item. I think. I asked how much to repair an outside outlet and the estimate shows how much it is to remove it all together. I was curious if it cannot be repaired or it was mistakenly written up as a removal. Their email said if I had any questions to feel free to ask. I did. But now being told I somehow came at them in some dangerous manner?? I sat quietly and chatted with Anthony's assistant while Anthony looked at the items needing repairs. I chatted about the schooling and apprenticing aspect of getting into electrician work and I'm sure both of them can attest to my friendliness versus saying I am dangerous. As for the rude blanket comment about Realtors (who give plenty of business to contractors and most are just nice people doing a job and are also slammed for time like this guy), there's no reason to say this simply because of what I do for a job. This is my dad's home and I'm his daughter. I was at the home as his kid... helping an elderly parent.
I've read the other 1 star reviews for Daniel Hawk, the owner, on BBB, Yelp, Angies List, Google, etc saying this is how many others have been treated as well. I should have read those first. My father saw he lived right across the street, so set this up for his repairs. Now I even saw that he was previously on ABC6onyourside for taking money from clients and not completing work. Yikes. I had no idea of who I was unfortunately dealing with. Its sad scammers are all around us these days.
Bottom line, if you start working with a person by giving them an estimate, you've then engaged them as a customer and owe them a bit of service, if only in the smallest of ways. Just to be honest, courteous and kind is enough. If you're slammed and cannot book until August, just reply with that. Again, why do an estimate if never intend to follow up? I had a single question needing answered by an old man who needed help. He's 92 , an Army vet and deserves to be treated nicer.
To come on here and say you sift through people after meeting them and decide if they are too dangerous to work for? What? Us? After what I read about you...my dad dodged a bullet, not only in the Korean war.

Very efficient and able to finish up work in reasonable amount of time. We had a ceiling fan replaced and the new one had a variable speed switch.

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.

I had a house fire last month. Everyone is safe, but the house is going to need a lot of work. We had an electrician from Efficient come out to restore power to a basement outlet so I could run my irrigation system. On May 26th he said not only did he get the outlet powered, he resorted power to the house for the contractors to use for their power tools while rebuilding the house. I went to the house on 5/27 to plug in my irrigation system and there was no power. I turned on lights throughout the house and still no power. I plugged items in outlets throughout the house and there wasn’t power. So I called and complained. The electrician’s supervisor told me that he did restore power the the whole house and the outlet for my irrigation system. So now I’m very upset. I went to the burned house with a lamp, blender, and iPhone with charger. I made a video of myself plugging everything into the outlet he said had power and plugged the items into outlets throughout the house to PROVE there was no power!!! I decided to get another electrician. The new guy from a different company restored power to the outlet and showed me that the guy from Efficient DIDNT do what he told his supervisor over and over that he did! Every single wire in the fuse box was dangling and none of the wires were labeled. I do not recommend this company at all! They totally lied to everyone involved.

Ben was kind and courteous. Informed me of the work he was going to perform and answered any questions I had. Would definitely use Mr. Electric again!

Loved the place a great selection of lighting fixtures.

Good company

Had another circuit panel added to my existing one. Chris did fantastic work and I could not be happier. He showed up when expected and was very knowledgeable and professional. If I ever need any electrical work done on the future, this is the place I'm calling without any hesitation.

Dustin The technician was very professional and courteous, answered all my questions and went right to work.

Chris was fantastic for helping with our blown fuse and incredibly professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

Good rates on electrical services. The work they did was good and they even cleaned up after them self.

Holt electric Changed a panel in my home. Great customer service, quick yet efficient and great pricing. Definitely recommend and will use again.

Ed has been very helplul. Went above and beyond and explained everything he was doing. He found repairs from previous electrician that didn’t work on it properly. I would highly recommend Ed for all your electrical needs. He also gave me some great recommendations and tips on future electrical issues I have.

Ryan was on time and promptly assessed his plan. Got his tools and all replacement hardware inside and went to work.
My new panel looks professionally installed and was located over the old box spot.
I highly recommend Rod Yoder Electric for any needs you may have.

Prompt service, professional and courteous! Will use again!

These guys are awesome. Would highly recommend. Extremely nice and reliable and do great work. I have had them out 3 and everything was perfect each time.

SO UNPROFESSIONAL . He was a no call, no show TWICE. First time, no call, no show, in middle of September-he said he was sick. I was sympathetic, we spoke back and forth. Once I offered to pay cash, he agreed to come out middle of Nov. Nov. 18th I called to remind and confirm and never heard back. Of course I've called him twice, texted him once, NOTHING.
I wasnt angry, just wasting people's time is so rude. I can get it done but the behavior is UNPROFESSIONAL.

I signed the contract for a whole house backup generator on August 16, 2022. Every step of the process was more difficult than it needed to be. I had to call for updates as almost nothing was ever communicated to me. I had to pester them to schedule things. After much legwork on my part, the generator was finally installed in late February. As of this writing (May 25, 2023), my generator still does not work, even though it's been paid in full. The techs tested it, but every time we have an actual power outage, it does absolutely nothing. I work from home and the main idea behind getting the generator is that it would protect me from the occasional power outages that happen in the country. So, instead of actually being able to do my job, I have to call to have someone come out and that normally ends with promises that they will come back and fix it later because they cannot correct whatever is wrong with the generator this time. And then burn vacation time because I am physically incapable of doing my work. To say I am frustrated and disappointed is a massive understatement.
