Reviews of local pros in Novelty, Ohio

No one seems to know what they are doing over there. My parents called to get a quote portman got on the phone and started listing off prices almost like they were trying to see if we had enough money for the job "What a great salesman" what a joke... They sent a guy named Tim over, He was obnoxious and had no clue of how to install a generator he said he had over 20 years of experience doing electrical work do not be fooled by this guy. I had 2 other quotes by other qualified company's and they confirmed it by telling us the real way to do the install. Do not waste your time with Portman Electric.

I herd they once were a great company but I then the guy who started the generator side left the business for some reason and my friend said do not waist your time with this company

Jeff and his crew did an excellent job of installing a whole house generator at my house. They were there when they said they would be and walked me through the install process. When the work was complete everything was cleaned and put back in place as if they had never been there. When a problem came up, through no fault of theirs, Jeff sent out a technician right away to help me get everything fixed and he even explained what had happened.

I can’t tell you how disappointed I am with this company. I have been dealing with them for a long time to service my home Generac generator. Last year they serviced my generator and told me they changed my oil, adjust my valves, and put new spark plugs in my unit. They also told me my unit had low compression in one of the cylinders and I need a new unit over $7,000 dollars.

A year went by, and I did not hear from them ( service my unit every year) and called to see why they did not come over. They said because your unit is shot we did not bother to call you until you decide to buy a new unit. I then proceeded to tell them that the unit is still working, fact they electric has gone out several times and the generator has been working fine. I said I would like someone to came over and go over my unit and check the battery, change the oil etc.

The lady told me we will check everything change the oil and make sure someone is home to check the Circuit board in the basement. This will be included in the service call. I the agreed.

Service guy came over ( I was working) wife stayed home, and the service guy started the generator up.
He then went to the front door ring the doorbell and told my wife that the generator was shot and left. He was there no more then 10 minutes. I received a bill for $195.00 several days later, s as be called The company up and complain that he never even change the oil and told my wife something that I already knew from last year, I told her he never even change the oil in it or checked it how could you bill me for the same price. The lady says this is what we charge whether we change the oil or not and we’re not taking nothing off the bill this is what you have to pay.

I was seriously thinking about buying a new generator off this company but I will never deal with them again. I hate to be cheated.

We have worked with quite a few electricians over the years & have finally found our home with Portman Electric. Tim & his crew are very professional and did a great job. They are communicative, polite and professional. What a difference working with professionals make! We are very happy & will use them again and again. Thank you!

My neighbors had Portman install a generator. I emailed them and filled out their online quote request and they never called me back. I ended up buying an EcoFlow portable power system just in case my electric goes off this winter.

Both me and my mom bought our Generacs from Portman. They did a great install and yearly maintenance. I would highly recommend Portman for a generator.

Portman Electric replaced our worn out generac generator with a lovely upgrade. Pricing was very reasonable. I am at home today after the severe storms in August 24 enjoying HVAC, sump pump running and lights while many of my neighbors are without power for possibly many days. The new generator is working perfectly!

Portman electric came highly recommended in my area by people and friends I know that have a whole home generator. I called and received a next day estimate and signed up the following day! They installed my 1st ever Generac 24kw whole home generator with the cold weather kit, install scheduled promptly, quick and pain free install and great group of guys that did it all in 1 day!! Thank you guys again, glad I called, and you will be highly referred on my behalf!!! 5 🌟 all day 👍

We highly recommend Portman Electric. Dillon came out when we had some electrical issues on the hottest day of the year and got things back on track. The dogs (and humans) greatly appreciated it! Very prompt, professional and knowledgeable! 5 stars & 10 paws up from The UltiMutt!

Very professional. Very prompt and fair with price. Work came out really good.

Dennis showed up exactly when he said he would. Came in, diagnosed the problem and was out in the matter of 90 min. Very professional, helpful and informative. Very much would recommend.

DJ is not just a great plumber, he’s courteous, professional and honest. We used him in our old house, as well as our new home. Highly recommended!!!

I called Dennis to help with a backed up drain. He was over within an hour. Very knowledgeable, friendly and reasonable. I would highly recommend them.

Will use Dennis again if ever needed. He plumbed some gas line for us, very prompt and great to communicate with. Highly recommended l!

Einstein Plumbing needs to check their voicemail. Anytime I tried calling this business I’ve got “Voicemail box is full and does not accept any messages at this time..” It’s been like this for weeks if not month now. I am glad this is not an emergency, but what if it was? Would I be able to get a hold of this service if I had a leaking pipe at 3 AM in the morning? I would not be writing this review if I only had tried once. It’s been weeks if not months that this number that ends in 8221 is not answering. If this is not the right number to call, please let me know and I will update this review.

Excellent service, always prompt and fair pricing. We’ve used Einstein Plumbing for multiple things and have always been extremely happy. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and have!

Einstein Plumbing never let's me down. They've replaced 2 kitchen faucets, snaked my main toilet, and repaired my whole house hot water return system. I've recommended them to my family and friends and everyone is always impressed with thier great work.

Dennis is fantastic and always gives us the best deal. We have gone to him for a new house filter, well water testing, sulfer and iron filter, reverse osmosis and now, water heater. He goes above and beyond. Always honest and doesn't try to upsell or get you to buy things you don't need. We went to RainSoft first for our filters due to having a pre existing RS softener. Dennis came in with a MUCH better deal. He is fast, reliable and you can never tell he was even in the house when he's done!

Dennis serviced our plumbing needs today, a holiday. He was polite, professional and very thorough. We are adding him and Einstein to our contacts for House needs. Dennis was great!!!!

Dennis did an outstanding job for me. Not only was he punctual but he installed my gas line without any hiccups. He's very efficient and I was impressed that he cleaned up after himself. Highly recommend!

We called Einstein Plumbing based on the referral from a friend. Dennis came out quickly and capped off a gas line and removed an old line. He was very professional and extremely helpful as we were moving into our new home. We would definitely use Einstein Plumbing again.
