Licensed Electrician Serving Macedonia, Ohio
Dependable electrical service for Macedonia’s residential neighborhoods and its busy commercial corridors.
Professional Electrical Services for Macedonia, Ohio
Macedonia sits at the crossroads of four major highways in northern Summit County, with I-271, I-480, the Ohio Turnpike, and State Route 8 all within reach of the city limits. That access is why a community of roughly 12,000 residents supports a commercial base far larger than its population would suggest, including the Macedonia Commons power center and hundreds of service and light industrial companies along Highland Road and Valley View Road.
ANR Electric serves both sides of that equation. Our licensed electricians handle the residential work in Macedonia’s established subdivisions off East Aurora Road and Shepard Road, and the commercial work that keeps retail, office, and light industrial tenants running. We are about 30 minutes south on Route 8, close enough to respond quickly and familiar enough with the city’s permit process to keep your project moving.
Why Macedonia Homeowners and Businesses Choose ANR Electric
Most of Macedonia’s housing stock went up between the mid 1980s and the mid 2000s, which puts it in a very specific place electrically. You are generally not fighting knob and tube or cloth wiring here. What you are fighting is a 30 or 40 year old panel that was sized for a 1990s house and is now being asked to carry an EV charger, a finished basement, a hot tub, and a second refrigerator. That is a load calculation question, and it is the most common call we get from Macedonia homeowners.
The commercial side is different work entirely. Retail and light industrial tenants along East Aurora Road and Golden Link Boulevard need three phase service, tenant build outs, lighting retrofits, and the kind of maintenance that cannot wait until Monday. ANR Electric handles commercial and industrial electrical across Northeast Ohio, including the load studies and permitting that come before anyone touches a conductor.
Macedonia also runs its own building department rather than deferring to the county, and the city requires contractors to register before working within the city limits. We are set up for that. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and handle the paperwork so you are not standing at a counter on Valley View Road trying to figure out which form you need.

Frequently Asked Questions About Electrical Services in Macedonia
Do I need a permit for electrical work in Macedonia?
Yes, for anything beyond a simple fixture swap. Macedonia operates its own building department at 9691 Valley View Road and issues its own electrical permits, rather than routing them through Summit County. The city also requires contractors to register before working inside the city limits. We handle the registration, the permit, and the inspection scheduling as part of the job.
My Macedonia home is from the 1990s. Do I need a panel upgrade?
Not automatically. A 1990s home usually has a 150 or 200 amp service, which is often adequate. The question is whether it has open breaker spaces and available capacity for what you want to add. A load calculation answers that in one visit. We have upgraded plenty of Macedonia panels and we have also told homeowners they did not need one.
Can I get an EV charger installed in Macedonia?
Yes. A Level 2 charger is a new 240 volt branch circuit and it requires a permit from the city. The cost depends far more on your panel capacity and the distance from the panel to the garage than on the charger itself. We run the load calculation before you buy hardware, which prevents the most expensive mistake in this category.
How quickly can you get to Macedonia for an emergency?
Macedonia is about 19 miles north of our Akron shop, roughly 30 minutes up Route 8 outside of rush hour. We offer 24 hour emergency service. For a genuine emergency, such as a burning smell, a hot panel, or a partial power loss, call (330) 644-4454 and shut off the affected circuit if you can do so safely.
Do you do commercial electrical work in Macedonia?
Yes. Macedonia has a large commercial and light industrial base for its size, and we handle three phase service, tenant build outs, LED retrofits, panel and distribution work, and ongoing maintenance. We also do the load studies and permitting on the front end, which is usually where commercial projects stall.
My basement floods. Should the sump pump be on its own circuit?
Yes, and ideally with a backup. A sump pump belongs on a dedicated circuit so a tripped breaker elsewhere in the house cannot take it out. Given that a good part of Macedonia drains toward Tinkers Creek, we also recommend a battery backup or a generator circuit, because the storms that fill your basement are the same storms that cut the power.
Can you add power to a detached garage or shed in Macedonia?
Yes. That usually means trenching an underground feeder from the main panel to the structure and installing a sub panel sized for what you plan to run out there. Depth, conduit type, and wire gauge depend on the distance and the load. It is permitted work and gets inspected, and we handle all of it.
Do you install standby generators in Macedonia?
Yes. Standby generators are a common request in Macedonia, particularly after ice storms and high wind events take down overhead lines. We size the unit to what you actually need to run, install the automatic transfer switch, coordinate the gas connection, and handle the permit and inspection.
