Now scheduling October walkthroughs in Medina County
Trusted by farms, shops and homeowners across Northeast Ohio
From farmhouses outside Lodi to new builds in Brunswick, every job starts the same way: we come out, look at what's actually there, and write you a quote for that job alone. No menu prices, no one-size packages.
A lot of homes around Medina and Wadsworth still run on 100-amp service, and some still have Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels behind the basement stairs. We size the new service with a real load calculation, set the meter base, and coordinate the disconnect and reconnect with Ohio Edison or your co-op so you're not left in the dark longer than a few hours.
Ask about this jobIce storms and summer windstorms knock out lines across rural Medina County every year. We install whole-home standby units and automatic transfer switches, or a manual interlock for a portable generator, so the sump pump, furnace and well keep running.
Ask about this job
Underground feeders to pole barns and workshops, well-pump circuits, livestock-safe wiring that holds up to dust and moisture, and lighting for the long winter chores. We work with the dairy, horse and hobby farms between Lodi, Seville and Homerville and plan runs around fields, fences and future buildings.
Ask about this jobOur shop sits a few minutes from Chippewa Lake, so we know what water, frost heave and boat lifts do to a circuit. We wire docks, lifts and shoreline lighting with proper GFCI protection and bonding, and fix the tired cottage wiring many lake homes inherited.
Ask about this jobKitchens, finished basements, in-law suites and full additions from rough-in through final trim. We walk the plans with you and your builder early, so outlets, lighting and dedicated circuits land where you'll actually use them.
Ask about this jobRecessed and under-cabinet lighting, fixture swaps in high ceilings, driveway pole lights for long rural lanes, and landscape lighting that survives an Ohio winter. We talk through color temperature and dimming before anything gets cut into your drywall.
Ask about this job
Level 2 chargers in attached and detached garages, with a load check first so the new circuit doesn't overload older service. If your panel is close to full, we'll lay out the options honestly, from load management to a service upgrade, and let you choose.
Ask about this job
Tenant fit-outs, three-phase machine hookups, shop lighting and code corrections for small businesses along Route 18, Route 3 and in Wadsworth, Medina and Rittman. We schedule around your hours so the doors stay open.
Ask about this jobBreakers that keep tripping, warm outlets, flickering lights, or a home inspection report that flagged aluminum branch wiring or knob-and-tube. We find the cause, explain it in plain words and give you a written list of what's urgent and what can wait.
Ask about this jobWhy there are no prices on this page. A 200-amp upgrade in a 1950s ranch and one in a two-year-old colonial can differ by days of work. We'd rather quote your job than guess at someone else's, and the walkthrough is free.

Five steps, the same on a single circuit or a whole farm.
Tell us what's going on, a few photos of your panel help. Ted or the office calls you back the same business day.
Same dayWe look at the panel, the service drop, the run lengths and anything the last guy left behind. Most visits in Medina County happen within 3–5 business days.
About 45 minutesYou get a price for your job, with materials and scope spelled out. The number we quote is the number you pay, and nothing gets added without your signature.
Within 2 business daysWe pull the permit with the county or city building department, do the work, and meet the inspector. For service changes we handle the utility scheduling too.
Per projectWe walk you through what changed and leave a typed panel directory, so the next time a breaker trips you know exactly which one it is.
Final dayIf anything we installed isn't right, tell us within 7 days and we come back to address it. Full terms are in our Refund Policy.
The cheapest quote in the township often skips the parts you can't see. Here's what's different when a contractor does it by the book.
The questions we hear most often on the first phone call, answered straight.
Because no two electrical jobs around here are the same. The age of the house, how far the panel sits from the meter, whether we can fish walls or need to trench, all of it changes the work. We walk your site for free and give you a written, itemized quote for your job. You can see everything we do on our services page.
Yes, on every job that requires one. We file with the Medina County Building Department or your city's building office, schedule the inspection, and meet the inspector on site. For service changes we also coordinate the disconnect and reconnect with Ohio Edison or your electric co-op.
Your address, a short description of the job, and if you can, a photo of your panel with the door open and the label visible. For generators, a list of what must keep running. For farms, which buildings need power and roughly where they sit.
All three. Roughly half our work is residential, and the rest is split between farms and outbuildings and small commercial spaces like shops, offices and clinics.
Walkthroughs across Medina County are usually booked within 3–5 business days. If you have no power, a burning smell, or storm damage to your service, call rather than email and we'll get someone out the same or next day whenever a crew is free.
Tell us within 7 days and we come back to look at it and put it right. The full terms are in our Refund Policy.
Most of our work is in Medina County: Chippewa Lake, Medina, Wadsworth, Seville, Lodi, Brunswick and the townships around them. We also regularly work in Norton, Barberton, Rittman, Wooster and Strongsville. For larger projects we'll go farther, just ask.
Berwick Companies started the way most good trade outfits around here do: one electrician, one truck, and neighbors who kept passing his number along. Ted Philput still runs the business from Hunter Drive, a few minutes from the lake, and he still walks every job before a price goes on paper.
Northeast Ohio is hard on wiring. Frost pushes on buried feeders, lake air works on dock boxes, and plenty of farmhouses between Seville and Homerville were wired for a few lamps and a radio. We see it all, and we'd rather fix the cause than patch the symptom.
That's also why we don't sell packages. Every building has its own history, so every quote is written for that building alone, with the scope, materials and schedule spelled out before any work starts.
We stay small on purpose. When you call, you talk to the people who will actually be in your basement, barn or shop, not a call center two states away.
Ted PhilputOwner & lead electricianWalks every site himself and writes every quote. Your first call goes to him.

A few words from farms, lake homes and shops we've worked for across Medina, Wayne and Summit counties.
They ran new underground service to our milking barn and two pole buildings, and planned it around the field we'll plant next spring. Ted explained every line of the quote at our kitchen table, and the final bill matched it to the dollar.
Our dock and boat lift had been tripping for two summers. They found a corroded junction box under the deck, rewired it properly and showed me the photos. Not a single trip since.
Two new CNC machines needed three-phase drops. Berwick did the work over a weekend so we didn't lose a shift, and the inspection passed the first time.
After the ice storm left us without power for three days, we had them put in a standby generator. Clear quote, clean install, and Colleen kept us posted on every date.
