Lexington sits just south of Mansfield, and its housing runs the full range: older homes in the village, newer subdivisions built as families moved out from the city, and country properties toward the Clear Fork Reservoir and out past the Mid-Ohio race course.
That spread shows up in the work. A village house may need its wiring brought up to date, a newer home may want a generator and a car charger, and a country place may need a long run to a detached garage or barn and lighting for the yard.

Utility
Much of the Lexington area is on Ohio Edison, and some rural addresses are on an electric co-op. Your bill shows which.
Rural runs
Long runs to outbuildings need the right wire size and, if buried, the right depth. Call 811 before anyone digs.
Storms
Summer thunderstorms and winter ice bring down limbs and lines across the county. Stay clear of any downed line and call your utility.
Questions
Lexington electrical questions.
Answers specific to Lexington. For more, see all 37 electrical and generator questions.
Sparks, a burning smell, a hot panel or half the house dark? Turn off the breaker or the main if it’s safe, then call. For fire or smoke, get out and call 911. For a downed line, stay clear and call your utility.
Can you run power to a detached garage in Lexington?
Yes. We size the feeder for what you’ll run out there, install a subpanel in the garage and add the lights, outlets and any 220-volt tool circuits.
Underground runs need the right cable or conduit at the right depth, and Ohio811 should mark utilities before digging.
Is a whole-home generator worth it for a newer house?
If losing power means losing work, heat, a sump pump or food, a standby generator is the most hands-off answer. It starts on its own and transfers the house automatically.
We size it to your load, which in a newer home is often the deciding factor between a mid-size and a whole-home unit.
Do you work out toward Clear Fork and Bellville?
Yes. Lexington, Bellville and Butler are all on our service list, along with the country between them.
