Staying ahead of electrical problems keeps your home safe. Most calls we get start with something small: a dead outlet, a light that flickers at the wrong time, or a breaker that trips every time the microwave and the coffee maker run together. Those symptoms usually point to something fixable, and our job is to find the root cause fast and correct it properly.
We handle the full range of general electrical work. That means outlet and switch installation, GFCI outlet installation for kitchens, bathrooms, and garages, and AFCI breaker installation where code requires it. We also install ceiling fans, light fixtures, and security lighting, and we run grounding and bonding work when a home needs it. Electrical safety inspections round out the list for homeowners who want a clear picture of where their system stands.
Every job is done to code, and transparent pricing with no hidden fees on any wiring job means the number you hear on the phone is the number you pay. We're one phone call from getting your power right.
Dead outlets and flickering lights are frustrating, and they are often signs of a wiring problem worth addressing before it grows. We repair and replace outlets, install GFCI protection where it belongs, and add dimmer switches and smart switches for homeowners who want more control over their lighting.
On the lighting side, we install recessed lighting, under-cabinet lighting, outdoor lighting, and security lighting. We also handle hard-wired smoke detector installation and smoke detector wiring so your home meets current safety requirements.
Older homes in the Franklin County area sometimes carry wiring that was installed decades ago. We handle whole-house rewiring, knob-and-tube wiring replacement, and aluminum wiring replacement for homeowners dealing with systems that have outlived their safe service life.
We also install dedicated circuits for major appliances, including dryer outlets, range outlets, and 240-volt circuits for anything that needs its own breaker. For home additions, basement finishing, and garage wiring, we run new circuits from the panel and make sure everything is sized correctly. Breaker panel repair and electrical panel repair fall under this category as well, and we are comfortable working on systems of all ages.
Franklin County's four-season climate puts real demands on home electrical systems. Heating and cooling loads run high, summer thunderstorms roll through regularly, and the occasional ice storm reminds everyone that reliable power is not something to take for granted. The services below come up often in this area for good reason.
A lot of homes in and around Reynoldsburg were built when a 100-amp service panel was considered plenty. Modern households run far more load than those panels were designed to handle, and the result is tripping breakers, limited capacity for new appliances, and real safety concerns. We perform 200-amp panel upgrades and 200-amp service upgrades, handle main electrical panel replacement, and install subpanels when a home or business needs capacity in a specific area. We also run load calculations before any upgrade so the new panel is sized for what you actually need, not just what fits. Arc-fault and ground-fault breakers, service-entrance upgrades, and meter work are all part of what we do. Business owners can ask about commercial panel upgrades as well.
Ohio's storm seasons make backup power a practical decision. A severe thunderstorm or an ice event can knock out power for hours or longer, and a properly wired generator hookup means your home or business keeps running when the grid does not. We handle the electrical side of generator installation: generator wiring, transfer switch installation, standby generator circuits, and the panel work needed to support the load safely. We do not sell or service the generator units themselves, but we make sure the electrical connection is solid, code-compliant, and ready when you need it. Give us a ring and consider it handled.
Ohio thunderstorm season sends voltage spikes through the power lines regularly, and modern homes are full of equipment that does not tolerate those spikes well. Televisions, computers, smart-home devices, and EV chargers are all vulnerable. A whole-home surge protector installed at the panel catches those spikes before they reach your devices and your wiring. We handle whole-home surge protector installation and surge protection installation as a standalone job or as part of a larger panel upgrade. No pressure and no gimmicks, just safe, solid wiring that protects what you have invested in your home.
Electric vehicles are showing up in driveways across the Columbus metro, and a Level 2 home charger is the practical way to keep one topped off overnight. We install Level 2 EV chargers, home EV charging stations, and Tesla-compatible chargers as a dedicated circuit and panel-capacity job. Before we run any wire, we check that your panel can support the load. If it cannot, we talk through your options honestly.
EV charger installation cost depends on the panel's current capacity, the distance from the panel to the garage or parking area, and the charger you choose. We price it transparently so you know what you are getting before work begins. We're one phone call from getting your power right.
Property managers and business owners need electrical work done on a schedule that does not disrupt operations. We work as a commercial electrical contractor for offices, retail spaces, and commercial buildouts across the area. Commercial electrical repair, commercial wiring, commercial lighting installation, and commercial outlet installation are all part of what we handle.
If you are a landlord managing tenant improvements or a developer finishing a commercial space, we can work with your timeline. One sentence on panels: commercial panel upgrades are available for businesses that need more capacity as they grow. Work is performed by licensed electricians who understand the code requirements that apply to commercial occupancies, and we keep communication clear at every stage of a project.

How do I know if my home needs a panel upgrade?
A few signs come up regularly. If your breakers trip often, if you cannot run the microwave and another appliance at the same time without losing power, if you are planning to add an EV charger or a major appliance, or if your panel is still rated at 100 amps, it is worth a conversation. We run a load calculation before recommending any upgrade so the new panel is sized for what you actually need.
What causes breakers to trip repeatedly?
The most common causes are an overloaded circuit, a short somewhere in the wiring, or a breaker that has simply worn out. A circuit shared by too many high-draw appliances is the everyday version. A wiring fault is the one worth catching quickly. We diagnose the root cause before replacing anything so the fix holds.
Is the electrical work permitted and inspected?
Yes. Work that requires a permit gets one, and we schedule the inspection so the job is documented and code-compliant when it is done. This matters for insurance, for resale, and for your own peace of mind. We do not skip that step.
Same-Day and Emergency Availability
We are available every day from 5:30 AM to 10:00 PM, including weekends. Urgent problems do not wait for business hours, and neither do we.
How do I know if the wiring in my older home is safe?
Homes built before the 1980s in the Franklin County area sometimes still carry knob-and-tube wiring or aluminum branch circuits that were never updated. These systems are not automatically dangerous, but they do need to be evaluated. An electrical safety inspection gives you a clear picture of what is there and what, if anything, needs attention.
What does EV charger installation involve?
A Level 2 home charger runs on a dedicated 240-volt circuit, similar to what a dryer or range uses. Before we run any wire, we check that your panel has the capacity to support the load. If it does not, we talk through your options. Installation time depends on the distance from the panel to the charger location and whether any panel work is needed first.
Do I need to be home when the electrician arrives?
For most jobs, yes. We need access to the panel, the affected areas, and someone who can answer questions about what the home has been experiencing. If you manage a rental property and cannot be on site, we can coordinate with a tenant or a property contact as long as someone with access is available.
Transparent Upfront Pricing
We give you a clear number before any work begins, and it does not change once the job is underway. No surprises on the invoice, no fees added after the fact.
How does pricing and estimating work?
We give you a clear number before any work begins, and that number does not shift once the job is underway. Transparent pricing with no hidden fees on any wiring job is how we operate. If the scope changes because we find something unexpected, we stop and talk it through before going further.
When should I call an electrician instead of trying to fix it myself?
Anything inside the panel, anything involving new wiring runs, anything that requires a permit, and anything where you are not completely certain what you are dealing with is worth a call. Electrical work done incorrectly creates fire and shock hazards that are not always visible right away. The diagnostic visit is straightforward, and knowing what you are dealing with is worth it.
Work Performed by Licensed Electricians
Every job, from a single outlet repair to a full panel replacement, is handled by licensed electricians who know the code requirements that apply in this area.
Are you available for same-day or emergency electrical calls?
Yes. We are available every day from 5:30 AM to 10:00 PM, including weekends. If you have an urgent electrical problem, call us and we will work to get someone to you as quickly as the schedule allows. The sooner you call, the better your chances of same-day service.
What does flickering or dimming lights usually mean?
Occasional flickering tied to a large appliance starting up is usually a load issue on a shared circuit. Persistent flickering, especially in multiple rooms, can point to a loose connection, a failing breaker, or a service issue at the panel. It is worth having someone look at it rather than waiting to see if it gets worse.
How long does a panel upgrade typically take?
Most panel upgrades are completed in a single day. The timeline depends on the size of the panel, whether a service-entrance upgrade is needed, and how much breaker work is involved. We give you a realistic timeframe before we start so you can plan around it.
If you have questions about a specific service or want to know what a job will cost, call us at (380) 289-2878 and we will give you a straight answer before any work is scheduled.
