Electrical reviews in Cincinnati, Ohio

We had the unfortunate pleasure of dealing with Curry Electric home office when needing to remove knob and tube from our home in order to sell. Our realtor referred Curry to come out and give us a quote for how much it would be to remove the knob and tube, we were quoted 1.5-2 days of work, totaling around $3000-4000 at the most. This factored into our decision to do the knob and tube instead of giving the buyer a credit. We scheduled for Curry Electric to come out do do the job. After the first day they notified us that they found more than expecting and that it would take a full 2 days and possibly a 3rd day, thus impacting the cost. After the 3rd day they still had not completed the job and stated that they would need a 4th day in order to complete the work. We then called the office and spoke to Traci Curry, in which she was very understanding of our concern with the pricing and she told us they would work with us on final price. After the 4th day they stated the work was completed. After calling several times to get the invoice we finally received it. There was no mention of the garage in the report at all, even though when scheduling for them to come out we specifically asked them to check the garage for knob and tube. So now they needed a 5th day because of there lack of communication with the electricians. Traci was very appologetic about her electricians not checking the garage and them needed to come back out. However then after completing the work we received the invoice, we emailed and called several times over several days and finally got ahold of Traci. In which she said no they cannot work with us on the pricing and that is for you guys to figure out and “she would much rather figure it out with us than place a lien”. Even though at the time of this call we still had 10 days until the payment was due according to the invoice.
The electricians that came out to house were very professional, showed up on and time, worked very hard and did a great job. However the front office was an absolute nightmare to get ahold of, speak to someone that could actually help you, and unwilling to work with even though our total bill was more than double what we were originally quoted. We constantly had to chase them down for answers and they made our home selling process even more stressful with their lack of communication and lack of understanding when their original quote had more than double.

I had an electrical issue arise that resulted in me being totally without power late on a Saturday afternoon. I did not know who to contact and, given it was late on a Saturday afternoon, I was having no luck getting in contact with an electrician. Additionally, my electrical problem involved a break of my incoming underground power supply lines, which can be a challenging repair involving splicing supply lines from the transformer to the meter. I discussed the problem with someone who had prior experience in these matters and received a recommendation that Curry Electric was highly experienced in matters like this and did excellent work.

I am so glad that I decided to use Curry Electric, because they certainly lived up to their reputation. From the point in time that I placed to initial call to Tim Curry (the owner), things started moving. The particular electrician on the job was Tyler…..highly professional and extremely fine at the work that he does. Tyler did a first-class job to get the problem resolved, and both Tyler and Tim did a great job of getting me back in business and power restored. Mine was a particularly difficult job that took quite a bit of time to do right. Tyler worked long and hard on getting the job done. However, what I particularly like is having confidence and peace of mind that the repair was done right and by the best. Thank you so much Curry Electric….I am so glad that I came across your company.

We have used Curry Electric several times to do electrical services at our home and have always been very pleased with their service. (We are no relation to the owners). We just had them replace outdoor light fixtures at our home and were able to schedule the job within 1-2 weeks. Tyler arrived on time and was very knowledgeable, efficient and courteous. He did an excellent job replacing the lights and the update really enhances our home. We highly recommend this company.

Suggest some edits: normal business hours 730-330. Currently reads 4pm. Overtime rate of 220/hr rate is for travel to and from the job site as well as at the jobsite. $79 service call fee also applies to calls outside of normal business hours even though cost of travel to Jobsite is charged. Only given the rate but not how it was applied when I called for service.

I had a fantastic experience with Curry Electric! They did rewiring work in my basement stairwell and installed several new recessed lights and switches, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, their team was professional, friendly, and communicative.

They arrived on time, completed the work as scheduled, and left the space spotless when they were done. I also really appreciated their honesty, fair pricing, and how they worked with me to ensure the design and positioning of the lights and switches were exactly what I wanted.

I highly recommend them and will definitely be using them again in the near future!

HIRE them!!!🩵 First of all, they’re open for EMERGENCIES (only) 24/7!!!😮🙌🏻 Amaaaaaaazing! Most electrical companies are only open Monday through Friday. They’re also on Angie’s list as a preferred company! The lovely lady who answers the phone & schedules, Josie, the owner’s daughter-in-law, is awesome. By the way, Josie is a (four year) college graduate with a degree in social work🥰
I called at 7:30 this (Monday) morning, semi-freaked out, because we have had partial power since Saturday night. The only thing that is working is a few of our lights and (thank God) the plugs where are refrigerators are. Other than that, for two days, we have had NO power to anything in the kitchen, our alarm system, irrigation system, air conditioning, washer, dryer, hot water heater, etc. Josie told me that someone had just canceled their appointment for this morning so, by the grace of God, I lucked out to get an appointment this morning!!!! Josie gave me a two hour window this morning and told me the electrician, Larry, would call me to let me know when he was on his way. Amazingly, I got a call from Larry, shortly thereafter, telling me he had finished a job early and he was on his way to my house. When does that ever happen (an electrician arriving early)?!😊
Larry arrived on time and immediately got to work. After shutting off all the remaining power to the house, he went back outside and after disconnecting some wires at the electrical box outside our home, he started using the Fault Locator and was able to fairly quickly locate the line break which caused our power failure. Incredibly, he was 100% correct. He dug up an area several feet wide and several feet deep and found the bad line. Astonishingly, a very large, very heavy, rock, weighing approximately 10 lbs, was literally laying on top of the power lines! There was tremendous degradation of the one line causing the power failure, and the aluminum had oxidized to powder. Zach, apprentice (fourth year of school), helped Larry dig out the huge hole to thoroughly expose the lines. Larry called Duke Energy and they sent out a a lineman to disconnect the power to the bad line. Then, Larry and Zach cut out the bad section, and also cut out the same sections of the other two lines, as a preventative, since the other two lines would have been getting very hot being in such close proximity to that bad line.
Larry and Zach spliced the lines and replaced them with new materials. After making all the repairs, the Duke energy lineman went back up in his bucket truck and reconnected the lines. Larry and Zach then checked the power to everything to make sure there were no issues and that that everything looked great and worked great. After ensuring everything was working correctly, Larry backfilled the hole with all of the soil that had been removed, excluding the rocks that were found in the hole. Then, he put back the large chunks of grass that he had carefully removed. All of this took approximately five hours.
We are SOOOOO very grateful to CURRY Electric for getting us on the schedule immediately and for Larry and Zach taking care of our power failure immediately!!! Kudos to the Duke Energy lineman, too!Curry Electric is an awesome company! We HIGHLY recommend this company!
UPDATE 10/11/23 We hired them again. This time for a big project; to run power out to our driveway columns so we can have driveway gates installed, and also to have power to our driveway columns for new column lights. Mike and Joe did an outstanding job! Brock and sons boring company bored underneath the lawn, and driveway, so power could be pulled. Mike, amazingly, was able to pull power all the way from the far end of our house, in the unfinished basement, which continued through our finished downstairs, and to the outside, without drilling a single hole in the interior walls!!!😮🤩 Thank you Mike & Joe for your diligent and meticulous work. Everything went amazingly smooth!!!💚

Oh my God what can I say about Tim and his crew. They are life savers. When Duke Energy became the villain, Curry became my heroes. Even in a snow storm when others where reluctant to help me out with my power outage, these guys came in and got it done in a day. No BS kind of guys and get stuff done. Highly recommended and will use them again for all my electric needs. Amazing people and took care of me like if I was their family member.

To say we are happy with Curry Electric is a huge understatement. Curry did an almost five week rewiring and electrical update of our 4000 sq ft, 102 yo old house. We got five bids and went with Curry because they had a crystal clear bidding process and a plan that made sense to us. We are so glad we did. Justin was professional, thorough and reassuring with our big project, and he assigned Mike to us as our project manager. Mike and his assistant Kevin were timely, professional and extremely easy to work with. After hearing a million horror stories about other knob and tube removal jobs, we were amazed at how little damage we had to repair afterwards. There were no surprises in our final bill, we were kept informed of all changes and we have emerged with a safer house that feels modern while retaining its charm. Thank you Mike, Kevin and Justin!

I got a new Generac Generator a week old and the auxiliary switch was damaged from shipment. Generac recommended Riverside for the warranty service but the Riverside billed me anyway for the service and refuse to refund. I will file a complaint to Generac and BBB. Do not use them for any warranty service.

Riverside Electric provided outstanding service with professional, knowledgeable technicians who ensured every detail was handled with care. Their prompt response and excellent communication made the whole experience seamless and stress-free.

Riverside Electric was very timely and professional with both the sale and installation of our Generac generator. Sales and install processes were both top notch. Install was extremely efficient with very little time without power. Would highly recommend

We hired riverside to install a standby generator for our home. Paul was excellent to work with, he patiently answered all of our questions and provided multiple optional quotes to meet our needs. Christian and the install team did a great job as well, they were courteous and left the job site very clean. I would highly recommend riverside electric!

We used Riverside to install our generator. They were very professional and knowledgeable. Answered all of my questions communicated with me during the whole process. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone wanting a generator!

Riverside Electric exceeded all expectations during the installation of my Generac generator. From initial consultation to final setup, their team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and commitment to quality.
Sales Experience:
Paul Stautberg, the salesman, visited my home and thoroughly explained the various options and costs. What truly impressed me was his emphasis on the technicians' approach – they take their time to do the job right, as if they were installing it for their own parents. This attention to detail and customer-centric philosophy set the tone for the entire experience.
Financing and Scheduling:
After deciding to proceed, Heath Turner guided me through the financing options, making the process straightforward. Missy Knight then efficiently scheduled the installation, accommodating my preferences.
Initial Installation:
Brian and Ben arrived promptly and began the installation process. Despite their diligence, we encountered an issue during startup – the engine wouldn't start. Brian quickly identified it as a defective engine requiring replacement. Before the day was over, Paul had emailed me with his apologies and a solution to replace the entire unit, showcasing their commitment to customer satisfaction.
Replacement and Final Installation:
Two weeks later, Christian and his colleague arrived with the replacement unit. They spent several hours meticulously resetting the concrete pad, which had settled slightly due to muddy conditions from the first installation. Christian's dedication was evident – he wasn't leaving until everything was perfect, exactly as Paul had described.
Christian then walked me through the setup, ensuring I understood the system's operation. The generator is now fully functional and ready to go.
Overall Impression:
I cannot overstate the level of professionalism displayed by Riverside Electric and its employees. Their commitment to doing the job correctly, even when faced with unexpected challenges, was truly impressive. From sales to installation, every team member demonstrated expertise, patience, and a genuine desire to ensure customer satisfaction.
Riverside Electric's handling of the initial setback and their swift, thorough resolution further solidified my trust in their services. I wholeheartedly recommend Riverside Electric to anyone considering a generator installation. Their dedication to quality, customer service, and attention to detail make them stand out in the industry.

Riverside Electric is the best to work with. Christian and his team that did our install worked so hard and in freezing conditions. Simply the best. Heath is also great to work with. If you want an amazing company, look no further.

The Riverside Electric crew did a Generac Install at my home today. They were polite, professional, and did a great install job. I'd highly recommend.

I want to express my sincere thanks to Riverside Electric and all their installers. I was very impressed in their knowledge, their attention to detail, and how they kept me informed every step of the way. It’s refreshing to know that we have professional people and companies like yours still doing what is right for the customer.
I am very happy with my decision to purchase the generator and have your company do the installation. It gives me peace of mind now that I have the 9pmbackup service when I will need it in the event of an outage.
Thank you again for all you did and please let your people know how pleased I was with their professionalism while at my home.
