A few questions before you call anyone
Do electricians need a licence in Ohio?
Yes — electrical contractors are licensed by the Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board for most work, and Dayton requires permits and inspection for anything structural. Ask for the licence number and proof of insurance before work begins.
Which electrical problems shouldn't wait?
Burning smells, warm or scorched outlets, breakers that trip repeatedly, sparking, or losing power to part of the house. Those point to a fault that can start a fire and warrant a call straight away — Henlee Electric lists 24-hour availability.
Does an older Dayton house need a panel upgrade?
Frequently. Much of Dayton's housing stock was wired for mid-century loads, and a 60- or 100-amp panel becomes the limiting factor once you add central air, an EV charger or a modern kitchen. Any of the electricians above can assess capacity.
