Our relationship started off positively with Perry, and quickly declined. They charge a significant premium for a service that only a few electricians offer, and apparently by all standards is a nice to have but not required for safety. When we chose to go with another electrician for other work in our house, Perry responded with a disturbing "I'm sorry you're willing to put your family at risk by hiring someone else." The other electrician shared pros and cons of working with him vs Perry, but Perry was quick to discount all others.
We decided to hire the other electrician, knowing it would void our warranty with Perry. I then followed up with Perry to ask a simple question, and he refused to share an answer. He instead sent me a long text that included his fees. We paid Perry nearly $20K for the work on our house, and he refused to answer a follow up question. I'm astounded at the lack of professionalism exhibited by Perry and can't imagine a situation where I'd use them again.

Very put out after speaking with answering service, leaving detailed information, being promised a call back and never getting one.

Perry Leitner installed a solar system on my house in 2010. The system had 40 solar panels. At the time, it was the largest residential system in SW Ohio. For 7 months of the year, I had no electric bills. The other 5 months, I had minimal electric bills in an all electric home. From October 2020 to October 2021 my total electric bill was $409. Yes, you are reading that correctly. Perry also installed a garage door opener, paddle fans, outdoor lights, and a new circuit breaker.
A solar blanket was installed in my attic. He and his crew also did work at my daughter's house as well as rental properties. Perry and his company always arrived on time, were very courteous, and professional. I highly recommend his work. Shirley Ober

I bought a house recently that had near zero overhead lighting(roof is a flat roof with no attic or drywall to run electrical). Perry Leitner was extremely helpful in explaining the lighting that would work in our unique situation as well as explaining the process of running the wiring through our existing roof. Perry was patient with our extended timeline, due to other projects we needed to complete prior to the electrical project.
Once it came time to install, Perry worked closely with our roofer to install wiring to get lighting where we asked for it. Perry stuck to his timeline and completed the project quickly and correctly. Perry's whole crew were friendly and considerate to us and our home. The new lighting has completely transformed our 60 year old homeahome really made living here even more of a treat than it was before. I would highly recommend using Perry to anyone looking for an electrician. I know he's the only electrician I will use in the future.

I contacted Perry after the electric meter on our home exploded and Duke explained we needed an electrician to make the appropriate fixes. Perry was great in explaining how it happened, what he needed to do, and pulling his guy Bob off another job to take care of us right away. Both of these gentlemen were efficient and professional in helping us get power restored the same day. They went so far as loaning us a portable generator in case Duke took longer to turn our power back on. I'd highly recommend them for emergencies and will call for any "planned" electrical work as well. Thank you both!
