About us

Portman Electric is a full service electrical contractor and a factory authorized dealer of Generac generators. We have factory certified generator technicians who perform service and warranty repairs. The President of Portman Electric, Inc., Jeffrey Portman, has been an electrician since 1978. He is licensed by the state of Ohio as an electrical contractor ~ Ohio License #18634. For the past twelve years Jeff has volunteered as a CYO basketball coach, and most recently coached the Notre Dame Cathedral-Latin twelfth grade team. In his spare time, Jeff enjoys bass fishing and competing in bass tournaments on Lake Erie. He established Portman Electric in 1987 to provide quality electrical service for the community and has since expanded the company to include commercial and industrial electrical work. Portman Electric was contracted for ten years by Sea World of Ohio to provide electrical service for their park until it closed. Portman Electric currently serves other commercial and industrial clients, including Pentair Filtration in Chardon, Ohio which has been a client for the past fifteen years. In 1998 Portman Electric began selling Generac generators and is currently a Generac Elite Dealer and recently became Northeast Ohio's first Five Star rated Elite Dealer.

Description of Work: Installed a whole-house automatic switchover generator. Price included a ten-year warranty. They were absolutely terrific! Dustin came out to do the initial evaluation and quote. He also was on site for the installation. A subsequent generator malfunction and engine replacement were handled very efficiently. I would recommend this company without hesitation.

Description of Work: I had wiring done in two bedrooms so that ceiling light fixtures could be installed. They rewired the wall outlet, removing it from the light switch, wired and installed two ceiling fixtures connecting them to the light switches. They were extremely professional. The service technician called several days in advance to make sure he knew what we wanted and cleaned up beautifully. I would highly recommend them.

Description of Work: They installed an electrical outlet and television cable on an existing patio. The electrician (John) did an outstanding job. He took the time to figure out how to run the new wiring through an existing wall and ceiling. His care and thoughtful ideas resulted in a near invisible installation. My only concern was the hourly rate of $70 seemed high. Other than that, I would highly recommend Portman Electric.

Description of Work: Installed permanent generator. No more buying gas for the portable generator, and the problems that go with that. They may not be the least expensive but the service is excellent. The generator tests itself each week and sends them an email. It's totally carefree.
