“John Villars came to service my home‚ our electrical needs/repairs. He was prompt, polite and professional throughout his work visit. I had a new breaker box put in so that I could be grounded and up to code. He also updated a couple of electrical sockets and an outdoor one as well. I plan to have them back to correct two more items in my older home. He is so quiet and efficient and the price I feel was very reasonable!”
Jonathan Villars, Electrical Install
“Had issues with outside GFI outlet. Alec arrived on time and listened to the problem and replaced the outside GFI outlet. The issue didn’t occur again, but he still gave input on next steps if the problem recurs. I was impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. He listened to me, and that doesn’t always happen with all companies. This is the second time I have used Five Star and I am now using them for everything HVAC, Plumbing, or Electrical.”

Signs You Need Electrical Repair
-
Breakers That Keep Tripping
You don’t need to worry about a breaker tripping once. It’s just doing its job. But if the same breaker keeps tripping, it probably means something’s trying to pull too much current, there’s faulty wiring, or the panel itself is giving out.
-
Outlets That Don’t Work
Outlet not working? Check the breaker first. If it’s still not working after that, it’s probably a wiring issue. It could be at the outlet itself or upstream in the circuit.
-
Buzzing, Crackling, or Sizzling Sounds
Outlets, switches, and panels should be silent. Always. If you hear buzzing, crackling, or sizzling, it means that there’s electricity arcing, meaning electricity is jumping across a gap it shouldn’t. It’s a huge fire hazard, and you can’t ignore it.
-
Warm or Hot Outlets and Switches
Just like uncharacteristic noises, outlets and switches shouldn’t be warm either. If they are, they’re pulling more current than they can take, and there’s likely a loose connection somewhere. Either way, it needs looking at.
-
Burning Smell Near Outlets, Switches, or the Panel
Please don’t wait if you smell a burning smell from any outlet or panel. It means something’s overheating. If it’s coming from your electrical panel in particular, call right away.
-
Lights That Flicker When You Use Appliances
Are your lights dimming or flickering when your HVAC kicks on, or when you use the microwave? It usually means the circuit is overloaded or the panel is undersized for your home’s demand. This isn’t uncommon in older homes in Columbus.
Electrical Repair Columbus FAQs
Your electrical questions—answered.
It depends on what’s being repaired. Outlet repair or replacement will usually be $75 to $200. Breaker replacement runs $150 to $300. Switch replacements are around $100 to $225. Wiring repair costs vary widely depending on where it is and how easy it is to access.
Yes. We often provide same-day or next-day repairs throughout Central Ohio, especially when safety is a concern.
No. For your safety, please avoid DIY fixes. Doing it yourself can result in electrocution, fire, and costly damage to your electrical system that’ll cost more than any simple repair would be. Ohio requires licensed electricians for all electrical work beyond the most basic tasks, like replacing a lightbulb.
Absolutely. Fixing loose connections, overheating circuits, and faulty wiring significantly reduces fire risks.
If you smell burning, see smoke, hear loud buzzing or crackling from the panel, or a breaker won’t reset after tripping, treat it as an emergency. Turn off the power at the main breaker only if it’s safe to do so, and call immediately. For less urgent issues (outlets that don’t work, lights that flicker occasionally), call as soon as you can, but these are not life-threatening.
