Dependable Electric

What Dependable Electric does

Dependable Electric is a family-owned and operated residential electrical contractor headquartered at 9715 Priem Rd in Strongsville, Ohio. Founded circa 1998, the company serves Northeast Ohio — including Greater Cleveland and surrounding Cuyahoga County — with three full-time crews providing licensed, bonded, and insured electrical work. Core offerings span electrical upgrades and repairs, complete or partial home rewiring, storm damage repair, code violation corrections, and safety-driven retrofits such as Federal Pacific panel replacement and knob-and-tube rewiring. Supplemental services include GFCI outlet installation, whole-home surge protection, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, security lighting, dedicated circuits, and whole-house backup generator installation. All work carries a five-year warranty on labor and materials, and a 24-hour emergency service line is offered in addition to scheduled estimates and inspections (free estimates are standard).

The business operates a direct-to-consumer, field-services model with no retail or e-commerce component. Customers engage via phone (440-845-8661) for estimates or 24-hour emergency response, after which crews are dispatched to the property. Marketing is local in orientation — local radio, SEO-optimized service-area pages, and print advertising — supplemented by referral relationships with the Cuyahoga County Department of Development (Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program, 12+ years) and the Cleveland Housing Network's Community Connections Program, which generate project-based work for low and moderate-income homeowners. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; revenue is generated from one-time residential service jobs and premium-margin emergency repair work. The company holds BBB accreditation and lists major credit card acceptance on its website. Ownership and operations are concentrated in the founding family (Owner Mike and brother/electrician Rick), with no external investors, no parent company, and no disclosed funding events.

Broad incumbents

• Home Depot Home Services / Installation Partners: Large retailer-adjacent installer network performing residential electrical upgrades, surge protection, and generator installs through local subcontractor crews. Comparable end-customer (homeowner) and same service categories, but operates at much greater scale and via aggregated demand rather than local brand.
• ARS / Rescue Rooter: Large multi-trade home services operator (American Residential Services) covering electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and generator installs across the U.S. Overlaps with Dependable Electric on residential electrical and emergency services, but at significantly larger scale and broader service breadth.
• Neighborly (formerly Dwyer Group): Public/PE-backed franchisor of home services brands including Mr. Electric, Mister Sparky, Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, and ARS. Not a direct competitor but the dominant strategic aggregator in Dependable Electric's category, and a likely acquirer or franchisor counterparty.

Regional players

• Cunningham & Sons Electric: Family-owned residential electrical contractor based in the Cleveland/Northeast Ohio area. Comparable in scale, customer profile, and service mix to Dependable Electric, and competes in the same local market.
• WireNut Electric: Independent residential and light commercial electrical contractor serving the Northeast Ohio / Akron-Cleveland region. Same service lines (panel upgrades, rewiring, generators, code corrections) but competing in overlapping geography with Dependable Electric.

Direct peers

• Mr. Electric: Neighborly-owned national franchise brand focused on residential and light commercial electrical installation, repair, and emergency service. Closest scaled comparability to Dependable Electric in scope, customer persona, and franchise-driven local delivery.
• Mister Sparky Electric: National residential electrical service franchise (Neighborly/Neighborly Brands) performing panel upgrades, rewiring, and emergency repairs in local markets. Directly comparable in service mix to Dependable Electric, with similar customer base and on-site delivery model.

Others

• Angi (formerly Angie's List / HomeAdvisor): Lead-generation and pro-directory platform connecting homeowners to local electrical contractors. Not a contractor itself, but a key marketing and customer-acquisition channel that competes with Dependable Electric's organic and radio-based acquisition approach.
