Four decades as a Columbus GA electrician means there is not much we haven't opened up, traced or fixed. Most of our work is for homeowners, and we take on plenty of commercial jobs too, from small offices to new buildings.
Whether you need an emergency electrician on a Saturday night or a planned upgrade next month, the same family business answers the phone and the same licensed electrical contractor stands behind the work.
If you don't see your project here, call anyway. The list of what we do is a lot longer than any web page.

EV charger install by our crew
We are Tesla and Qmerit certified, so a Level 2 charger at home or at work is routine for us. We check your panel capacity first, so the new charger doesn't overload anything else in the house.
Older panels and undersized service are behind a lot of tripped breakers and warm outlets. We upgrade panels and service so your home can safely run everything you actually use today.
Storms across the Chattahoochee Valley don’t wait for your generator to be ready. Regular maintenance keeps it starting reliably and running strong when the power goes out.
New fixtures, recessed lighting, LED conversions and ceiling fans, plus replacement motors for bath fans, vent fans, pool pumps and spas when an old one finally gives out.
Dead outlets, flickering lights, breakers that won't stay on. We trace the real cause instead of guessing, and we will point out anything unsafe we find along the way.
Walkway, flood, dock and landscape lighting, plus smart doorbells like Ring, so your property looks good after dark and stays well lit where it matters most.
Wiring for new and older buildings, tenant build-outs, lighting upgrades and repairs for offices, shops and other businesses around Columbus and Phenix City.
Network and cable runs through the attic or crawl space, dedicated circuits, outlets in odd places, motors that quit. If it's electrical, ask us.
1984
Opened at 4754 Miller Rd. Still our one and only location.
Our story
Thomas Sherrill Jr. opened Sherrill Co. in 1984, and the shop at 4754 Miller Rd has been our one and only location ever since. That was never a marketing decision. Columbus is home, and the people who call us are our neighbors.
The business is still run by the family. Thomas Sherrill Jr. leads as president, Thomas Sherrill III runs day to day operations and Sarah Sherrill keeps the books, while supervisors JR Owens and Eddie Sims lead the crews in the field. Customers ask for our guys by name, and that's exactly how we like it.
Being small is the point. You call and someone who knows the business answers. The electrician who shows up is licensed, clean and on time. And after the job is done, we check back to make sure everything is working the way it should. That habit is what 42 years as a Columbus GA electrician has taught us.

No call centers and no runaround. Here is what happens when you call a Columbus GA electrician who still runs the business from the family shop.
During office hours the phone is answered right away, and the emergency services line covers nights, weekends and holidays. Prefer email or the form? We reply within a couple of hours during the workday, or by the next business day after hours.
A licensed electrician comes out, finds the actual problem and walks you through what needs to happen and why. You'll understand the work and what you're paying for before anything gets started.
The crew works clean, tests everything before leaving, and we follow up a few days later to make sure it's all working. If something isn't right, we come back and make it right.
Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8:30 am to 5:30 pm.
A few jobs from our crews, from backyard docks to commercial rooftops. More photos from the field are on the way.

JR and his team rewired my boat dock including the installation of new lights. They did a very professional job on all aspects of this boat dock work. They also installed some new lights in the kitchen and converted two old fluorescent light fixtures for use with new LED bulbs. We are very happy with their work and will ask for JR and these guys by name on any future electrical work we might need.

Put an EV charger in my garage. They were reasonably priced, showed up on time, didn't leave a mess, and answered any questions I had. They also informed me of a loose wire breaker box that could have caused problems and fixed it for me. I have no complaints and would call them again for any electrical needs.

These are the nicest, most down to earth and accommodating people. From Tom Sherrill down, everyone was super nice, helpful and professional. Their work is too notch. They stand behind their work and called a few days later to make sure all their work was working and satisfactory order. I will certainly not hesitate to call them for all my future electrical needs.

Our shop sits on Miller Rd in north Columbus, and our crews cover about 40 miles in every direction. Because we hold both Georgia and Alabama electrical contractor licenses, crossing the Chattahoochee is never a problem. Customers in Phenix City and Auburn get the same licensed crew and the same service as our neighbors down the street.
All of our electrical services are available anywhere in that range, including emergency electrician calls on nights, weekends and holidays.
Home base since 1984, from north Columbus to downtown and every neighborhood in between.
About 40 miles west of the shop. We work in Auburn often, for homeowners and businesses alike.
Right across the river and covered under our Alabama license 02198.
Up in Harris County, and the town where part of the Sherrill family grew up.
Just north of our shop, and one of the places our trucks head to most.

Yes. Our office is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm, and for electrical emergencies you can call our emergency services line at (706) 566-3994. If you notice sparking, a burning smell, a hot panel or a partial loss of power, turn off what you safely can and call the emergency line right away.
Yes. Sherrill Co., LLC holds Georgia electrical contractor license EN008188 and Alabama electrical contractor license 02198. You can confirm our Georgia license through the Georgia Secretary of State license lookup and our Alabama license through the Alabama Electrical Contractors Board.
We cover about 40 miles around our shop at 4754 Miller Rd. That includes Columbus, Fortson and Cataula in Georgia, plus Phenix City and Auburn in Alabama. If you live near the edge of that range, call and ask. We will tell you straight whether we can get to you.
We handle nearly everything electrical for homes and businesses: EV charger installation, electrical panel upgrades, generator maintenance, lighting and ceiling fans, electrical repair and troubleshooting, landscape and security lighting, network and cable runs, and commercial wiring. If your project is not on that list, call and describe it. Chances are we have done it before.
First, check your electrical panel for a tripped breaker and reset it once. If it trips again right away, or you see scorch marks, smell burning or feel heat at the panel or an outlet, leave it off and call our emergency electrician line at (706) 566-3994. Repeated tripping is a warning sign that something on that circuit needs a licensed electrician to look at it.
Yes. We are Tesla and Qmerit certified and install Level 2 chargers in garages, driveways and workplaces. Before we install one, we check that your electrical panel has the capacity for the charger, and if it doesn't, we can upgrade the panel as part of the same job.
Yes. Along with residential service, we handle wiring, lighting, repairs and new construction for offices, shops and other commercial buildings around Columbus and Phenix City. Commercial customers get the same direct line to the shop that homeowners do.
If you call during office hours, you talk to someone right away. Emails and online requests usually get a reply within a couple of hours during the workday. Requests sent after hours are answered the next business day, so for anything urgent, call the emergency services line instead.
Call if you can. A few minutes on the phone usually tells us which tools and parts to bring, and that saves you time on the visit. The form works well if you would rather not call, and every request goes straight to the office and to our phones.
Because we will still be here next year. Sherrill Co. has worked out of the same building since 1984. When you call, a Sherrill answers, and the people doing the work live in the same community you do. We stand behind every job because our family name is on the truck.
A quick phone call is the fastest way to get a Columbus GA electrician headed your way, and it helps us show up with the right parts. If calling isn't convenient, send the form and it goes straight to the office and to our phones.
