I was having a big problem and my landlord who i rent from was out of the country and the power went out for two days and it was a nightmare trying to deal with PG&E trying to get power restored because they were telling me everything is fine on their end and nothing they can do.So i found JJ electric and i called Jay and he kindly came out very quickly within 45 minutes of the initial call, AND it was a dark rainy and windy Saturday night and he came out test all my meter and power equipment and immediately got pg&e emergency after hours on the phone and was able to very professionally but firmly get them promptly fix the issue and within ten minutes my power was back on! Jay did a wonderful job and was very professional and kind and helpful and took the initiative and handled my problem and even dealt with dreadful pg&e on my behalf!!! Thanks Jay

Really appreciate Jay coming out to my place to check on why a number of outlets weren't working. It turned out that I had shut off a couple of circuits thinking I had turned them back on...Jay was kind enough not to charge me for that. I also asked him for quotes to do some other electrical work around the house, so I look forward to working with him in the near future. He was very responsive and came within his given time window. He was also very honest with the extent of work it would take to do certain things, and provided more reasonable alternatives to consider.

Jay and his team did a great job when the power went out in my house. Great communication and kept to his quote. I am very happy with the work and the clean up they did after they left. I really appreciated how responsive Jay was when I am somewhat hard to contact, he made sure to text and respond. Really happy, thank you so much for the respect you showed me and my home, Jay.

Jay came out to my parents house to check if their electrical panel needed to be upgraded as they are thinking to get a ductless air conditioning unit put in.

Jay let them know the panel was still in good condition and didn't need to be changed or upgraded to accommodate new air unit. Jay was professional and honest which they appreciated and will definitely use JJ electric for any future electrical needs.

Cannot thank him enough, we had an incident at home with one of our outlets. We called fire fighters & they recommended we call a local professional electrician as they had to shut off our power. My husband found him on google & JJ immediately shows up within the hour!! I was scared and overwhelmed as we had no power. He shows up and immediately gets to work, you could tell he knew what he was doing. An hour later complete, my power works and my outlet was fixed despite of my crying sick baby. Thank you for your effective fast work as well as having patience for my baby. Most definitely will reach out again if we are ever in need.

What a great experience! Jay answered the phone and came by to look at the job (adding a power outlet behind a television on a wall, so the tv cords won't be visible). Jay came up with a way to do it with no wall patch-up work needed, quoted it and got back to me within an hour. He was just finishing another job and fit me in same day! He came when expected, did the job with his partner, cleaned up and moved furniture back. He was very nice and professional and had good ideas about a future project.
Thank you, again, Jay!

I can't explain how much JJ Electric helped me when I was at the lowest point of my financial life. He helped diagnose the problem, fix it, and charge me a phenomenal amount. He is the kindest business owner I've EVER met. You need to contact this business for help with your electrical problems. He's amazing and I can't say anything negative. He responds to texts, shows up on time, and gives you a fair price. I'm EXTREMELY thankful for him. My problem is fixed because of him. You won't regret hiring him for your electrical needs.

Jay and Adi were extremely pleasant with me. They came to diagnose various power and outlet issues we were having throughout my house. Easily explained to me why the issues may be happening, and then providing multiple solutions to address them. Adi was very friendly and thorough with his work, and addressed all of our problems in the house. Will reach out again for future electrical work.

Jay was the most responsive of several electricians we called, available for same day service.  I will use JJ again!

They carefully walked me through my breaker issue on the phone, had a cancellation in my area so offered to come out earlier, and treated me with respect and kindness.  The price to come inspect the issue was reasonable as well.

Other business by comparison had a two to three day wait for service.

JJ came to the house when I had an electrical emergency. He stayed calm which kept us confident about him fixing the problem. He solved it in a few minutes and followed up later to see how the fix was holding up. Highly recommend!

Jay came in to do the lights for our front and backyard. Gave us guidance on what would be the right positions. Also made some suggestions on how to same som money with backyard lighting. He also helped us planning with some beautification lighting as well as help us get lumbar which could not fit in our sedan. He truly went out of his way to help us out at no extra charge. Genuine guy, would highly recommend.

Jay was available on short notice. We lost power to our AC and heater unit but we are not sure if this is a HVAC issue or electrical system issue. Jay came out and quickly diagnosed the problem. He showed me when he bypassed the switch on the AC unit, it turns on ok. So the issue was with the AC. Jay then waived the diagnosis charges. We didn't need to pay him anything. Very nice experience.

I unexpectedly received my Tesla Model Y two months earlier than scheduled  which was a pleasant surprise and an amazing new year's present to myself! However, I was totally unprepared and needed to get a charger installed ASAP. JJ Electric was fast, responsive, and professional. They installed my NEMA 14-50 outlet within the same week and for a reasonable price! I'm very happy with their services and would definitely use them again. I highly recommend JJ Electric.

Jay is simply a great guy! He was quick to identify the problem based on his professional experience. He fixed the immediate problem and gave me suggestion for long term solution for my dated electrical system. I was trying to solve the problem by myself. His work proves that I need to rely on professionals like him in situation like this. I am very happy that I have brought him in considering I did have choices at the time. I will gladly hire him again. As a matter of fact, I have already recommended him to my friends within 24 hours of his service.

Jay is absolutely a great guy. Arrived on time and did a great job troubleshooting an issue I was having with the lighting. He is knowledgable, patient and did everything in his power to methodically go about the work. I highly recommend him for any electrical repair work and I will gladly hire him again.

Jay did a fantastic job for us. We had to take care of the kitchen light asap as we were ready to put our house on the market very soon. He was able to put us in his very busy schedule and did our job the very next day. He quoted us a very comparative price for the job .. I would highly recommend him ..

I called up Jay today to see if he had time to squeeze me in for a hopefully straightforward circuit breaker problem.  I have an old 1958-sonstruction home with original panels and breakers, so it was time for a replacement for the 30-amp!  He fortunately had the old-style breakers on-hand just in case and was able to replace it on the fly, saving a bunch of time and food, since the fridge was on the same circuit!  Pricing was more than competitive and helped tipped the scales, in addition to being located near Campbell.  Thanks Jay and thank you to your assistant electrician as well!

Our stove went out, and we were all clueless as to why. Jay came over and within 20mins figured out the problem was with our old finicky circuit breaker, and was able to get everything up and running. Additionally, he also installed new lights in our garage free of charge!!! Definitely get him, he is fast, reliable, and knows his stuff!

You can trust Jay to keep to his word and fix your issue no problem.

When our fuse box was sparking and buzzing, I called a few electricians, from different companies.. FOUR of them. And no one wanted to work on our panel because it's old and unstable. But they did make sure they got paid for their house visit which was pretty lame. They all wanted me to call pg&e to shut off the power before they work on it. Well pg&e requires a permit, to get the permit - it's gotta be inspected etc. Etc.- - YA. no.

Then came Jay from JJ Electric. This guy comes at 745am looks at our panel and told us we need to replace it asap. He explained why, he showed us the issues and root cause of the problem we're having.  THEN he puts on a pair of gloves and started yanking on LIVE POWER CABLES like it's a twizzler candy to get the power working. He jokingly said Wow, you guys like to live dangerously huh?! .. which lightened up the grim news of our house needing a costly panel upgrade. BUT! That alone my friend; has earned you the business. We appreciate the knowledge and time you took to explain. Thank you.

Fast Forward 3 months later and he started to work on the Panel Upgrade project.  Everyday he came, he gave us a time frame and what will be done. Communication is next to flawless. He even got the permit from City Hall for us!! My parents are elderly and diabetic; I'm always at work but Jay and his team were very considerate and respectful of my parents being home. You just can't beat these guys!!

They're like the bad boys of the electrician world.. Brave enough to grab live wires to keep the lights on but respectful to the elderly!! What more can you ask for ladies?!

So go on! Give them the business and they will make you glad you did! I can't say thank you enough.. So here's a REAL 5 STAR review that is well DESERVED!

Jay is an awesome guy to work with, scheduling was done pretty easily without any hassle. He was very knowledgable and helped me retrofit my entire place with Lutron Caseta's smart switches (by the way this is not an easy task as I have went through several electricians) .

Not only do I have these smart dimmers everywhere but he also helped me install all of my light fixtures and sconces. Without a doubt, Jay is the best and gets things done in the most efficient and friendly manner.

Wow!  Jay did a fantastic job!  I had two chandeliers that needed to be installed and he was able to accommodate me under short notice.  Jay really values his customer's time and he made sure to inform 1.5 hours before our appointment that he would be running late.  I really appreciate that as I was able to fit my schedule accordingly.  

I was actually trying to get the job done myself with my fiancé but it was too heavy for us to complete the job, so we called for a professional.  Jay is attentive to details and he made sure you were satisfied with the way the light is sitting, if it was slanted, the chain length too short or too long, he didn't hesitate to make adjustments for you, even though it meant to redo some of the procedures.   I didn't even notice this, but he told me my dimmer wasn't working right and he was able to fix that for me too!  Jay's wonderful, his pricing competitive, and he'll give you a better deal if you have multiple installs.  We will probably install ceiling fan in our living room in the future and I'll be sure to give Jay a call again.

I think this is the third time, JJ Electric has done work for us, and once again we are happy with the work.  We were about to begin excavating our yard and wanted some outside private lines capped off before that project began.  JJ Electric was able to come before the project started which really helped us out.  He installed lights in the garage and fixed a defective outlet.  Great work & professional company.  Both Jay & James were friendly and explained things clearly.  They did not mind all my questions.

I had a breaker that went out that controlled my fridge. Tried to fix it myself but could not. On Sat morning I called a bunch of electricians that claimed they were open 24/7. All I got were answering machines. I called Jay, he picked up and said he could be at my house at 4 pm. He came, knew exactly what was wrong, fixed it and was done in half an hour. He was kind and polite. As far as I'm concerned he was my hero that day!!!

After work with JJ Electric, I feel so lucky I found a really good service! First, he contacted me quickly, arrived for estimate on time. The price was very very reasonable. When they were doing the work, I can tell they know what to do. The job was install a ring. He knows all the high technology part which I felt some of them had problems during the phone calls when I contacted other electricians.
I am a old woman, he was very patient with me to teach me how to use. He also had to deal with my email and WiFi problem. He spent too much time.
After finished I felt so much appreciated.
Thank JJ Electric!!!

Jay was great. had him over for a quote initially for a tesla 240v nema 14-50 outlet, his pricing was very reasonable and he made it out on time on a horrible stormy night. thanks for the dedication.

On the day of the appointment, he came prepared and finished the job in less than the time he quoted me so that was great (since now I got to run some errands!) , the outlet worked great and now my happy EV is charging nightly at home :)  Definitely recommend for anyone who is looking for a skilled electrician for any electrical upgrade or modification!

I had an issue with my pool switch where it short circuited and wire burned off and needed new wiring, so I called JJ Electric and talked to Jay. Jay was very responsive and sent his electrician James to take a look and rewire it.  James was on time and did a great job and re-wired it.

I realized later that something was still not working. So even though I had already paid Jay for the service, I asked him to have James come back and take a look out of good faith. Jay responded right a way and scheduled for James to come back the next day. James came back and found the issue and fixed the problem. The fact Jay was responsive and was willing to address my concerns even after he had been paid shows he runs his business ethically and really cares for it. I recommend JJ Electric for any of your Electric needs.

Wow, our experience with Jay today was second to none! We had an emergency issue (half the house lost power) on the Friday afternoon before Christmas weekend. I was sure we were sunk for the weekend. Called Jay, he promised to get his partner over ASAP after finishing another job. Jay texted with an ETA of 4:15pm, but then showed up himself at 4pm because his partner was delayed.

Long story short, Jay quickly diagnosed our problem, explained it in detail, fixed is as best he could on short notice, and suggested a detailed follow up. He was polite, professional, personable, and VERY clearly knowledgeable.

We'll have Jay on speed dial for ANY future electrical work. Highly recommend calling him for your home electrical needs.

My family called on Jay to come out and bid on doing the electrical work for a home we were remodeling including but not limited to replacing the electrical panel, adding GFCI outlets to 3 bathrooms and the kitchen, replacing all of the light fixtures, switches and receptacles throughout the house, etc. Based on other bids, it's about a $15K job so most business owners wouldn't brush off the opportunity. Jay did.

At the initial walk through which took less than 25 minutes, Jay didn't write down any notes. Furthermore, literally the moment we finished discussing the last of the punch list, Jay said I need to get going because I'm already late for another appointment. Jay was told on the initial call about the extent of the job so I'm not sure how he felt that spending 25 minutes at a home was running over time. Anyhow, we never heard from Jay again. I contacted him with a copy of the property inspection report he had requested from the sale but he never acknowledged it. We also followed up again inquiring about the status of the quote and  never received a reply. Even if his quote came in 25% cheaper than the other electrician we hired, the savings wouldn't be worth the risk of hiring a company that has no customer service.

My garage door/light wasn't working and an outlet in one of the bathrooms was out. My landlord wasn't very helpful in knowing where the circuit breaker for the garage was, so I needed someone with experience.

I got an appointment set up on a Saturday. I was told someone would come between the hours of 9am-10am. Saturday comes and it's past 10am. Now usually I wouldn't care, but I have a 5 month old and we had somewhere to be. I got no text/phone call saying they were going to be late. I had to text and ask if they were still coming. I got a text saying on my way. Around 10:25am someone showed up. I think it's extremely unprofessional to be late...and if you are (I understand things happen)...let the person know!

Anyway, he came and figured out what was going on. He even found the breaker to the garage which was in the oddest of places. He gave me the heads up about some loose wiring in the attic and that it's a fire hazard. I appreciated it and he said that he took photos and he would send them to me so I could show my landlord.

Ok, great. That's really nice of him. Well, I sent him a text asking for the photos and I got NO response.

He didn't give me an estimate about how much the job was going to cost...honestly, I was busy with the baby and forgot to ask him, but he did tell me on the phone (when I was setting up the appointment) that he would let me know. Fine. I will take that as MY fault.

The guy was nice and all, but if I'm going to pay almost 300$ for an hour and 1/2 worth of work--I expect better.

I don't think I would hire this company to do any work I might need in the future. I feel like there are more professional and courteous places out there.

They didn't show up. Didn't answer the phone when we called to ask where they were and still today, a week later haven't responded to our voicemail message asking what happened.

I wish one could give separate ratings to work quality vs communication. It's possible the work is great but I can't find out if they don't show up.

Jay was the only electrician that returned my desperate call around 4pm on a Friday afternoon!  We needed an estimate to cover safety issues per a home inspection report related to the purchase of a home for my buyers.

He came out the following Monday so we were able to meet our contingency timeline.  Not only is Jay efficient and knowledgable but he was able to explain all repairs in layman's terms to the buyer and myself.  I will definitely use his services again!  Jennifer Hopkins Realtor

Jay fixed my electrical job quickly. He charges rather fairly too. Overall, he's a friendly guy.

Update: there was a slight problem after the fix, but Jay was courteous to come back and make sure everything is running smoothly. He waited 20 minutes after the fix to see if any other problems would arise. Now that's what I call customer service.

Jay is competent and responded quickly, Unfortunately I felt that 15 minutes of work, a $25 part which he said he had to spent time to purchased, and after hours price was over $200.  
Ouch!  And I thought my electrician friend who was not available was expensive at $90 an hour.

It is hard to find service oriented companies today.
I had a small problem that I had lost power in a room and couldn't figure it out.
I checked all of the breakers and none were tripped.
I called Jay and he responded within an hour at the house, found the problem quickly and fixed it. On top of that he said N/C but to keep him in mind for bigger projects (which I absolutely will do).
I can't say enough of his service level and if you are in need of an electrical contractor, you cannot go wrong here!

Jay is extremely responsive, reliable and reasonable. I called during a weekday evening expecting a voicemail, but he still picked up. After explaining my situation about needing a qualified electrician to review my dead front panel resulting from an action item issued by a city inspector (residential home), he agreed to look at it the next day and arrived punctually. Jay resolved my issue on the spot and even told me to contact him if the city inspector has questions.

He's easy to communicate with via text, email or phone. I'm impressed with the quick turnaround time, professionalism, honesty and knowledge.

Thanks Jay!

Jay was able to come and accommodate my schedule. That was the best part of the service.

We needed 2 appliances connected to our home. He successfully connected the oven, but the electric cook top was not connected properly. The 4 burners came on but the fan was not functioning.

I thought it might be a warranty issue, since the product was just delivered. So I called Whirlpool and they sent out a technician. The technician examined the cook top and later opened up the electric wire box where the cook top and house electrical wires meet.

It turned out Jay did not connect the ground wire from the cook top the ground wire for the house. The technician connected the two ground wires and the fan was functioning properly.

So I opened up the electrical box for the oven, just to make sure that was connected properly and it was.

1 star was removed for no doing the job properly for the electric cook top. Additional 1 star was removed for still not having sent me an invoice for the service provided after I've asked for it 10 days ago.

The initial engagement was quick but the follow-up and the level of completeness leaves something to be desired.

We were having problems with our smoke alarm chirping in spite of having changed the battery and followed the instructions online about resetting it. I called Jay and he took the time to make suggestions of other things to try and told me to call back if it didn't work. When the alarm continued to chirp, I decided we must need a new one and called him back. He stopped by on his way home from work and solved the problem: it was not the smoke alarm chirping but the CO detector. I am thankful for his patience and willingness to help. We will definitely call him the next time we need electrical work done.

Jay did an awesome job today! From the first call for an estimate to finishing of the job, he was detailed, courteous, and got the job done. He came in to verify the part needed in the main panel, went to go get the part, came back and installed it all within a few hours. I would bring him in again for other electricity issues.

Got in touch with Jay through email and texted him pictures what my breaker box looked like.   He gave me an estimate of what I needed to be done.  His tech James showed up on time.  I needed an external outlet installed under the eaves of my home  - he even worked when it started to rain.  Great personality coupled with a good business ethic!!  Can't ask for anything more.  Thank you JJ Electric.  You guys are a class act!  You'll certainly get a call from me again.

Jay is as good as his word not only did he come out on an emergency issue when we lost all our lights in our kitchen he stayed till 9:30 pm making sure we had lighting set up temporarily until he could return the next evening with the parts needed to update the wiring and installed beautiful new lighting fixtures.

I would recommend without reservation JJ for your next electrical needs.

After calling about 10 other electrician companies on the day after Christmas, I finally got a hold of someone (Jay-the owner of JJ Electric).  Knowing it was a holiday I was prepared for him to say that he was on vacation and not able to help.  However, he told me that they were doing emergency cases only...I guess he understood that not having a working washer and dryer for 3 days around Christmas was indeed an emergency!  So he told me to expect someone between 2 and 5pm and his partner, James, showed up around 3pm.  James was polite, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain to me what the precise problem was, and he fixed it in about an hour's time.  No complaints about the services provided at all!  Highly recommend.

Jay did a fantastic job at our house! He helped us run electrical through dry wall and installed 4 ceiling fans, a chandelier (which was quite tricky) and a couple of other electrical work. Nothing was easy but Jay and his team made it look easy and did a very clean job. He also helped us install and mount our 60 TV onto the wall.

Overall I would definitely recommend Jay if you are looking to get a quality job done ! Unlike a few other reviews I did not experience any communication issues with Jay. He is very responsive and always communicated back to me on questions/doubts. He is very professional and can be trusted !

I was very impressed with Jay! !My husband and I were rudely awaken by our fire alarm one Tuesday morning and there was smoke and what smelled like electrical burning, but we couldn't find a fire source. I contacted Jay and 3 other electricians through Yelp quotes and he was the first to get back to me. He came to my home that day, and fixed an electrical issue that had stumped other experts. He also diagnosed the origin of the fire alarm--not the lingering electrical issue I had suspected but it was actually our furnace. He then advised me to contact an HVAC specialist. And he was right! Thank you, Jay!

Jay responded to my text quickly and came the next day on time to investigate power issues in my old condo.

It turns out my wires were overloaded quite a bit and melted the casings already. Jay was able to sort it out and get the power back on in 2 hours!

He recommended to put in extra outlets and replace the old switch board when our schedules work.

I will definitely contact him again for the upgrade.

Two thumbs up. Very happy with Jay's service.
Called couple guys over July 4th weekend but nobody seems to be available. Jay is the only electrician that called me back and came to fix my electric issues on Sunday. Very professional and knowledgable. Fixed the two issues quickly within an hour. Will use him again for service next time.

I really put Jay to the test. I have completely remodeled a home from top to bottom. This means every switch was converted to high-end LeGrand dimmers and switches with custom hand-made covers. Contemporary chandeliers over the dining room and in the foyer; outside lights and really cool sconces in the entry; a new trac light on a very high ceiling in the Master. This was a huge job, but both of us looked at what we created and thought: WOW! Hire this guy. Such a pleasure to work with.

Lost power to some of my outlets on a sunday afternoon with 100+ degrees outside.. Unfortunately the heater and ac circuit board also was affected.. Googled a 24 hour electric and they came up.. Jay answered the phone right away and was there an hour later. Determined i had a short in one if the outlets due to loose / melted connector and 4p min later i had power and AC back up. He advised me to replace my Federal Pacific fuse panel that didnt trip for a short.. ( google federal pacific panel for more.. ) Since it was the 2nd time in a couple of years it didnt trip i agreed. They had an opening next morning, and him and his electrician, James came out on time and finished the job by mid day despite having to do a bit if extra work widening the opening in a wall a re routing wires. James took care to cover everything from drywall debrees and cleaned everything after. The replacement panel and fuses were brand new and everything works great.
They are probably not the cheapest you can find but very professional and were there when i needed them fast. My neighbor across the street has the same panel and i have recommended JJ Electric to him.

Jay came by within 2 hours on a Sunday when we blew something in our light switches upon new move in. He spent about 2 hours fixing and rewiring a few of our problem areas, recommended some changes to us that made sense (without pressuring any sales) and was super nice and helpful and explained everything he was doing. Jay's going to be our go-to electrician!

Jay is the best electrician anyone can have.  I first used Jay two years ago when my preschool had a problem with classroom lights.  It happened late in the day.  By the time I found Jay (after trying two other electricians who failed at diagnosing the problem,) it was already 8 p.m.  Jay stayed until midnight to pinpoint the problem.  He came back bright and early while working with our preschool schedule...when he can turn off the electricity for the whole school, when he cannot.  

Since then, Jay has been my go-to electrician.  He has taken care of the preschool and my home.  He is always on time, courteous, trust worthy, professional and reasonably priced.  

By the way, for the reviews below that said Jay missed appointments, he had a medical emergency.

I generally give reviews soon after a job has been done; however when I hired Jay last summer to replace my kitchen lights that were not working, I waited as I wanted to test if the'd last a year. I decided to replace my old lights with led lights to save energy. I remember Jay came on a National holiday as he said he did not mind working on a holiday, I was really happy. I had already bought the lights but he said they were not right, but he had new ones which he showed me and said if I liked he can install those. I agreed and he repaired/ replaced the box connected to the lights that was not working.
A few weeks ago the lights stopped working and I called Jay. He sent his team member to take a look and he came somewhat early, he said the box needed to be replaced. I told him Jay had replaced it in summer, it should have lasted a few years at least. He said he would let Jay know since he did the job.
I did not hear anything as I assumed they must be busy with work so I sent Jay a message to find out when the job will be done. He responded in a timely manner that he had ordered the part and as soon as it came the work would be done. This was last week. Today morning Jay called and said if you are home I can send my guy to fix the problem. I agreed, and in 20 minutes his team member arrived finished the job in 15 or so minutes and left. As he was leaving I asked about the payment and he said to ask Jay. I called Jay he did not reply as he was busy, so I texted. He said there will be no charge. I thought that was good customer service. I think I will always be using his services. Also his charges were reasonable when he had installed the lights. I would highly recommend JJ Electric for any electrical work. They know what they are doing.

Jay came right away to review the job site for an EV charger installation and was very friendly. Unfortunately, that's where the good part stopped. He promised to send me a quote in 2 days but that never happened. Worse, I later found out (after having other electricians look at it) that his assessment was completely off and would have costed 2.5x of what others were offering. May be not receiving the quote was a blessing in disguise because I would have gone with JJ otherwise!

Jay is my hero!! He came the same day to fix the bathroom fixture lights that had suddenly gone out after the maids had cleaned;)) He did a quick diagnostic and discovered they had shorted them out probably with a wet cloth.  He also let me know I should replace the fixture since soon I would not be able to find those light bulbs anymore.  He arrived on time and was done very quickly!  I highly recommend him since he was great to work with!  I will be calling him soon to replace all the fixtures.  Great service!

Jay parachuted in on Sunday evening and fixed an electrical circuit that I popped by trying to install an outdoor light fixture.  He presents himself well, is easy to talk to.  His price was understood up front and he got the job done including fixing and mounting the same light fixture i miswired.  He arrived with power off and left in 45 minutes with power on.  I recommend JJ and will consider him for an upcoming panel replacement project.  thanks JJ

We arrived home late yesterday (Saturday) to find out that we had electricity in only half of the house and the furnace was not working. Since it was very cold (and windy) yesterday, this was a problem. Even though I was a new customer, Jay came to our house at 6:30 p.m. last night. He quickly determined that only 1 Phase of electricity was coming into the house and told us that the problem was a PG&E problem. He then moved the breaker for the furnace to the Phase that was working so that we would have heat. He told us to place a service call to PG&E and this morning he called to see if PG&E has responded yet.

Jay was professional, courteous, friendly and his rate was reasonable. I would not hesitate to use Jay again.

I had fried my old Tesla Wall Charger by driving on the cable (I have 2 Tesla and the one not plugged drove on the cable) and Tesla requires an outside Electrician to change the unit you have to purchase from them. I was able to make an appointment to replace an existing Tesla Home Charger 3 days later. Jay showed up on time and although the older model was completely different (top or back wire mount vs side wires for the old one), he was able to make it work at no extra cost/material. The charger was ready to roll in less than 2 hours. He also made the cable would not fry again by fixing the cake against the wall. It has been running for 1 month with no issue.

He is a very nice, easy, honest and professional person to do business with. Thank you Jay!

My refrigerator stopped working. After some investigation I noticed the outlets upstream of the fridge were working and the outlets from the fridge and downstream were not.  Well, it was time to call a real electrician.  I googled 24 hour electrician near me and JJ Electric was the first result in the answer box. It had 5.0 stars with 10 reviews. Looking on Yelp, it had 4.5 stars with 85 reviews, so why not, I gave them a call.

I talked with Jay and described what happened. He said he would send his tech out tomorrow morning. I also added that I would like  to put my fridge on a separate circuit (which is now code). Jay said that he wanted to come out along with his technician, and asked if the morning after would be okay, which was fine. I added that I would like some outlets changed (my house is old and some of the original outlets are loose), and to add another outlet to the same circuit.  He asked me to text him the details and address. Well, Jay did not show up. No call, what happened?  Well, I had texted my information to some other number. I re-texted the info to the right number and called Jay, and we set up an appointment for the following morning.

Jay and his technician, James, arrived on time, and after showing them where things were, the fridge, electrical panel, the outlets, and such, they went to work. There was some head scratching as to where the wires ran from the working outlet to find where the break was. (Nothing is ever as easy as it seems). Jay suggested three ways to go, explaining what he would do, how much wall he would need to break into, or if he could come up through the floor. He recommended that while putting the fridge on a separate circuit to go ahead and put the downstream outlets on a separate circuit too.

At first I thought of just staying with my original plan of putting the fridge on a separate circuit and reconnecting the rest of the outlets back together.  Looking at what was plugged in: a coffee pot, an electric kettle, the fridge, the fan for a fireplace insert, a TV, and Blu-Ray and DVD players, Jay estimated the current of the first three appliances.  I'm thinking that just the coffee pot and kettle could take 80% of the circuit capacity when both are turned on, which they were from time to time, so sure, sounded like a good idea to make separate circuits.

This is when Jay gave me his estimate. I figured that he wanted an accurate assessment of what to do before he talked money.

Jay left while his technician continued to complete the work.  While crawling under the house, James found that mice had chewed some insulation off around some cable, and showed me how he was going to do the repair.

I noticed that the technician, instead of using the back push-in terminals, connected the wires to the outlet's side terminals, which I prefer.  And also he aligned the slots on the screw heads on the face plates, a nice touch.

There is no paperwork. Estimates are verbal, and there was no bill or invoice itemizing the work and costs.

Jay is the first electrician I've used that uses text.  At first I thought it odd, but after this experience, it's the way to go.  There is a record of what I wanted, my address, and when I sent it. It also let me know I sent the information to the wrong number.  I suppose one could argue that had Jay taken taken the information over the phone then I couldn't have sent it to the wrong number, but I've also had contractors lose the information, or have to tell them three or four times what I wanted.

All in all, the repair went well. Life is good and safer.

Jay exemplifies professionalism and integrity, while changing the over garage flood lights I caused a short which tripped the circuit breaker. When I tried to flip it back it would not turn ON. It was Saturday evening and I called Jay, who first took all the details and walked me through the steps I should take to self correct the issue and it worked like a charm. Jay could have very well come out and charged me emergency rates, am blown away by his integrity since he figured it was something that I could fix myself and helped me with the instructions. Now on any electric work I have at home I am calling Jay.

10 stars....if only Yelp had them! Jay of JJ Electric is an outstanding Licensed Electrician. We called for an emergency service call, and Jay arrived ahead of schedule. We really appreciated how he explained what had happened and how to prevent it again. He then expeditiously fixed several items. Jay has a knowledgeable and patient quality in his approach to his customers. If you ask a question, he gives a concise, easy to understand answer. As a Realtor, I really appreciate Jay's qualities of competence/knowledge, craftsmanship, current license, patience, and excellent communication skills. Jay is easy to reach by phone, or txt message.
When preparing a home for sale, it is essential to use Licensed Contractors. Right now, many Electricians are so busy, they don't return calls, and are generally impatient with the communicating with their clients. They just want to get in and get out.  I am also finding that some electricians are working under the licenses of people in the Central Valley, and passing it off as their own license. You can tell they are not licensed by the quality of the work.
From now on JJ Electric is going to be the only Licensed Electrician I recommend to my friends.

We called JJ electric late yesterday evening after having heating problems and having the HVAC people tell us it was an electrical issue not an HVAC issue. JJ electric came out late evening on emergency (we have a newborn in the house and having a warm house is super important)-- and he was able to identify the problem right away. We had a problem with the wires outside the house and had to call PG&E in. It was a potentially dangerous situation and they were able to identify it quickly and correctly. Very happy with their service.

Had an issue with a circuit breaker constantly shutting off in our electric panel. It knocked out  power to a wall the length of our house. Called a couple electricians & left messages with no returned calls. Left a message today with Jay and got a call back in under 1/2 hr. Explained my problem and he said he could come by by 5 pm after another job. He arrived 40 mins ahead of time, yea, and found breakers to be ok. But found a faulty plug in back bedroom with too many items plugged into it. Gave an estimate ( which I believe to be very fair) to add addition plug outlet to that room.

He was very personable and professional, and would recommend to anyone needing an electrician. Now I have someone to call when the problem arises!

Thanks again Jay!

We at Medicnology (IT and Healthcare IT provider in the Bay Area) have been working with Jay and his team for the past year for the data/voice cabling and electric work of our clients.

They are also very reliable as we needed some help over a couple of weekends and Jay ( the owner ) personally helped us out.

We were trying to change some light fixtures- fairly straight forward you say- add to that a 69 year old house with some very questionable DIY electric work and - we were left standing with no light in our corridor ( aka hallway).

It was a Sunday and after calling around Jay was able to come and assess the issue. He came back on Monday and told us that he would need to straighten out the electric work before he could install the fixtures.

Come Thursday morning, his assistant and jay promptly showed up and after half hour of investigation realized the problem wasn't as bad as it seemed

He gave me a discount on the quoted price and left me a happy customer with light :)

Jay installed lights for our nursery. We were thoroughly impressed with his professionalism, attention to detail, and thoroughness in his work. He was able to get the lights installed quickly and avoid studs (he didn't have to open our wall). Once the lights were installed, the room looked as good as new! He even cleaned up the floor before he left. We will certainly be going back to him for our future electrical project needs.

Soooo grateful we found Jay. We desperately needed an electrician over the weekend, and based on the yelp reviews, contacted Jay. It was Saturday evening when half of our lights went out. Although Jay had worked a long day, he was very considerate to come out and assess the problem. He quickly discovered that the main fuse in the outside service panel had failed. Since the fuse would not be available until Monday, Jay took it upon himself to reroute critical circuits including our fridge and microwave to get us through the weekend. Even though he was booked up, Jay fit us in and solved the problem (replaced main fuse and circuit breakers) early Monday morning. Jay is the BEST...extremely reliable, efficient, knowledgeable and a very warm, kind man. We're so happy to have found such a wonderful electrician! Thanks Jay!!!

Jay was able to drop by (on the same day as my call) and diagnosed my issue (kept getting circuit breaker to trip when I attempted to turn on the air conditioner). He removed the electrical connection to the air conditioner, and was able to declare that the power from my house is clean.  Jay next checked the air conditioner electrical leads and found that there is a short, which could be isolated to a bad capacitor.  He suggested to bring in an HVAC contractor to diagnose the issue from the air conditioner unit.  Best case... replace the capacitor and test.  Worst case... replace the entire air conditioner compressor unit.  Very competent expert in his field!

Job Description:  Remove old hardwired electric range, install new electric range.

Pro:  
-  New range is working.  
-  In addition - a junction box was put in a for a range hood that needed it.

Cons:  
-  Kitchen hardwood floor was scratch up during the removal of the old range.  On the plus side, Jay offered to help cover the cost of the repairs.
-  The main panel cover was not put back correctly.  Although it only had 1 screw holding it in place - it held it in place well enough.  When I went back to check on the panel after their troubleshooting session, i had to re-position the panel cover so that the all breakers fit back into their breaker openings.
-  No paper trail:  estimate was a verbal estimate, final bill was just a verbal amount.  The only proof i have that work was done was the carbon copy of the check provided for payment of the job.

I tried calling many electricians and most of them said they will come the next day...I found Jay..He was very economical for the after hours call and came home at 10.45pm..Fixed the issue,replaced the part and off he went brightening our night..

If only I can give 10 stars this guy deserves it...highly recommend..

We moved into a house in San Jose (old 5 year house) and had a bunch of things that needed work. After discussing with Jay, we contracted him to work on upgrading all room outlets (the existing did not have ground), upgrading our electric panel and some flood lights in the backyard. Jay's quote was reasonable and competitive. But what i really liked was his dedication and work quality.

I remember that when doing the backyard lights, his assistant ran the wires in a conduit. But he ran the conduit low on the wall and that made the exterior of the house look messy. I talked to Jay and he agreed and asked his assistant to move it up so it was hidden in the eaves.

Also, when they did the panel upgrade an got PGE for an inspection, PGE was fine with the work. But the wires coming from the PGE pole to out hose were very low (due to a tree in our backyard) and so PGE did not approve. While it was not what we had contracted Jay for, he got the branches trimmed, moved the wires up and redid the inspection. All this while he did not even ask for his money.

Hi is very knowledgeable and super nice to converse with. We have a few more things that we need to get done and I will not hesitate to contract with Jay.

I've had electrical issues in my condo unit for few months now. Wiring,  switches,  bathroom fan giving out. I troubleshooted as much as I could and then gave JJ a call. Before he even started with estimates (like most vendors these days)  he listened to my situation and gave me advice on how to fix, even without him or his team coming over. I still couldn't get it to work so he came by the next morning and put his expertise to use. Within 30 minutes he was able to pinpoint the problem. Within the next 30 mins he fixed it. Problem solved. I think JJ is a very humble, down to earth, and honest person.. I appreciate his quick turnaround and very reasonable pricing. I recommend him for all electric needs. He's smart and to the point. Nothing but 5 stars!! Thanks again!

Came to the house the next day.   Diagnosed problem quickly.  Total job took like 15 minutes.   $300 cost seemed steep to me.   That was his stated over  the phone cost, so I was not surprised.

Jay was recommended to me by my good friend. I got very good advice on a sticky project and had him fix something else in the house .. Jay gave me a couple different ways to view the project, this saved me a great deal of money.  I'm very happy to have found a committed professional.  Greg

Jay is a real professional.  Called to fix pool electric wiring. Jay had to dig up the pipe that held the wiring and found the pipe was corroded and the wiring exposed and dangerous.  He found a solution to access the area and worked in the baking son for hours to get the job completed.
great guy who does a great job.

To kick off the new year, my sub-panel circuit breaker tripped and started to smell fishy and burnt.  I gave JJ Electric a call to explain and Jay shows up within the hour on the weekend!  He found that the wires were overloaded and had started to melt behind the panel along with the breaker.

Jay was quick to fix the issue and recommended some potential options for the future.  I will definitely give Jay a call again for any electrical work!

Came on a Sunday on a long weekend when others would not even bother to answer the phone. We had a loose contact in the main panel which was causing some appliances to misbehave. Jay came and quickly identified the problem. Just pushing the switch fixed it. And he waived any payment as it was a trivial issue! Who does that these days?

I found JJELECTRIC on yelp and I'm very happy with my experience.I live in San Jose Bay Area. Last week we lost power in half of the house. I called them and talked to the owner Jay. He was very friendly and knowledgable. Even though he had a full schedule he made extra time for us and took care of the problem the same day.
They are very professional , dependable and on top of it their pricing is reasonable .

I highly recommend JJELECTRIC and will definitely call them again for future electrical projects.

Worked with J second time to replace breakers in sub-panel. J was prompt as always and gave a fair estimate. Was patient to get through city inspection. I work with lot of contractor and not everyone is through and professional. J is both thorough in his work and very professional. Also added advantage is J does weekend calls for those unfortunate emergency.

I called JJ, and explained the problem i had going on in my garage. I had changed the circuit breaker that i felt was the problem, yet still no electricity. I'm not comfortable enough to know how to test the box with a gauge. He came the next morning, tested the wires in the box, and within minutes electricity had been restored. He showed me how to use the meter for any future problems. When finished I asked him how much, and he said....No charge...  
  He's a very personable guy. I will keep his number on my phone now (being a new home owner). It's nice to know someone whos fair, and knowledgeable (and able to come by when needed).
   I would definitely use him again, and refer him to others.
                            Thank You JJ....

Our circuit breaker broke around 9pm at night, and a whole section of the house was without power.  Jay was the only electrician that we called that answered the phone that late at night.  He came out, and turned out that the circuit breaker was very old and the plastic had actually fused the various circuits together.  I was worried that he would not be able to make the repair, but he spent over an hour getting the broken circuit out (which was fused and jammed in) and putting the new one in, and we were back in business.  It's rare to get this level of service on such short notice.  Highly recommended.

My rental house had been with out power for most of the day, the relay that we needed was not available until Monday, I was in Colorado Springs; I found JJ Electric here, read the reviews and decided to call, I left a message and Jay called me right back, I told him what my problem was and what I needed; he was at my house, replaced the CB and tested everything for my renters and was finished in less than an hour.  I was told he was the utmost professional.  I would recommend them for your electrical work!

No wonder so many people gave Jay such good review. Jay is not professional but also extremely patient on locating and fixing problems. We had strange outlet problems which the voltage on outlets is ~100V. Small electronics would work. However, larger electronics (e.g. TV) won't work while plugging into those outlets. One electrician we called identified as wiring problems under the house. He would charge hefty fee as he has to go into the crawl space. And we found Jay through Yelp. He patiently checked every outlets that have problems and found out there were burn-down wires in one of the wall outlets (we were so lucky that the house didn't catch fire). After he removed those badly-burned wires and re-wired everything, all outlets were back to normal.

Called for estimate to replace meter socket. He came on time. Never called back. No estimate. I left 3 messages and 2 emails over the following week. It's like he disappeared from the earth. Maybe he got sick or something. Zero response! Not good business practice.

He came to my home 2 weeks back to provide an estimate for doing some outdoor lighting.
This man wasted half an hour of our time looking around, made us replace a sprinkler by stepping on one and still hasn't got back with an estimate.
When my husband asked him as to when he can expect to hear from him he said I have given quotes too quickly and have regretted it later
I would definitely not get back to this guy for an estimate or for any other lighting project that I am planning to do!

I called Jay when smoke started coming out from my cabinet when the oven was turned on.  He showed up on a rainy Sunday, two days before Christmas and fixed the problem. Jay was very professional and the service was wonderful. His prices were reasonable and I would definitely use him again and recommend him to anyone who needs work done.

I am very happy with the work done by JJ Electric. I initially contacted Jay through the messaging system on Yelp requesting a quote to install a 4 prong outlet for my electric stove. My old stove was hard-wired to the electrical circuit and my new one required am outlet. Jay replied promptly and with a quote that was lower than other electricians. I made an appointment for him to come by, and when he was hung up on another job on the day of the appointment he messaged me to let me know he was running late. On the day the work was to be done, his assistant James arrived and was polite and cleaned up after himself. Unfortunately, there was a bit of a miscommunication with James and the outlet was installed in the wrong location. I messaged Jay to let him know and James was back at my house the next morning to fix it, as well as recess the original junction box so my new stove would fit flush. I was certain this second trip was going to cost me extra but was pleasantly surprised when the invoice came with Jay's original quote. I would not hesitate to have Jay or James come back to do more work for me.

I called them and left the message. Jay returned my phone call in a very short time. I described the problem to him, and he was willing to diagnose over the phone, and his guess was the correct one. Would hire him.

I had a hard to reach wiring for my guest room. A friend of mine referred him to me and I called them up after hours. Jay showed up promptly. He was professional and got the job done quickly without leaving any mess behind! I am pretty new to Yelp reviews but I think I will use more of this and JJ Electric service :-)

I called JJ Electric at around 11:30PM because my breaker had tripped. I tried resetting it myself with no luck.

Jay (I think that's the person who I was talking to) told me in order to reset a switch, I first had to flip it all the way to the OFF position before trying to flip it to the ON position. This is probably a solution that can be easily googled, but I had no power at the time (read: no internet), but Jay happily gave me the info with zero grief.

Sorry for waking you up with such a noob problem, man!

We live in San Jose and need to remove a fan and install a chandelier, so we called JJ Electric, and they have a good online messaging system so that I can leave my contact info and memo there. From this little web site, I can see how organized JJ Electric is.

The quote was fair and Jay, the electrician was not late, furthermore, the best part is when we found the new chandelier is missing a part, and almost gave up, he proposed to go to a local store to bought the missing part for us.

The job then was well done and he didn't even charge for the unexpected trip to the store. I think Jay is a very responsible guy who deserves five stars! He cares about your problem, that's so cool.

Thanks Jay!

We moved into our new townhome and immediately learned our kitchen wiring was spotty and our fridge kept turning off. I called at least five electricians who all said they didn't make house calls on Sunday. I called Jay who promised he would make it out later that day. He came by and patched the problem until he could get the parts to do a permanent fix.  He was nice, reliable, and reasonable. I would definitely recommend.

I have been the happy recipient of JJ Electric's services for many years. They go beyond the call of duty when it comes finishing the task at hand. The deep knowledge of the team members, the courtesy and customer care they have manifested in any job they have done for my projects have exceeded my expectation. I have received many thank you notes when refereed them to other businesses and people. In a nut shell, JJ Electric delivers more than it promises in a timely manner!

A couple of years ago, a friend of mine recommended Jay's company, JJ Electric, when I was looking for a trustworthy electrical contractor.  I found their quote to be the lowest of the bunch, and they were also very professional and reliable. Since then, I have used them several times. I have also recommended them to several of my friends, and they are all very happy with quality of  their work.

I highly recommend JJ Electric because they are now my go-to company for electrical services.

I called JJ Electric in anticipation of the delivery of my Tesla Model S.  JJ arrived as scheduled and I was impressed with his pleasant and professional demeanor.  He explained to me in simple terms what needed to be done.  He gave me an estimate, which I thought is very reasonable, and also told me that he needs between 2 and 3 hours to install the 240 volt outlet for my model S.  I set up an appointment the following Monday, he arrived on time with his assistant, and got the job done in less than 2 1/2 hours.  He reconfigured my circuit breaker and properly installed the 240 volt outlet just in time for me to enjoy my Tesla model S.  Needless to say, I am a very satisfied customer, and I highly recommend him to anyone needing an electrical job done right the first time around.

I called Jay because of the reviews he has in Yelp. We met on Wednesday and he did a Visual Inspection of the entire electrical system in the home. He indicated that he was going to send me the estimate late in the afternoon. I did not get it so I called next day and ask for it. He indicated that he was taking care of emergencies and he was going to send it to me later on in the afternoon. I called him on Friday at 4:45 PM and ask for the estimate again. He mention again that he was taking care of emergencies and got upset at me instead of apologizing for not delivering what he promised .. 2 times. I understand he is busy and I am happy for him... but he should be honest and say I am very busy... it will take me 3-5 days to send you the estimate Any one would be able to understand that. Getting upset at a potential client who may need a complete electrical re-wire in a residential home is not an excuse... he needs to rethink about his customer service skills and the promises he makes.

My elderly mom's house had a circuit go out (not the breaker) which powered her furnace and chair lift.  I called around and Jay was able to come out this afternoon.  He was right on time.  It was a tricky problem due to some very strange old house wiring (I had already spent several hours trying to find the problem).  We were both in the attic (after he had just spent 4 hours in someone else's attic) and all around the house.  He went through each plug, junction box, etc. until he finally found the problem (very old overheated connection).  He fixed the problem, noting other areas in my mom's 54 year old home that should be addressed.  He cleaned up after himself, moved furniture back into place, etc.  Very thorough, very nice, and did a great job.  My mom has heat again and is very happy.  Absolutely would recommend him and will use him again.

JJ Electric is by far, the best.  He has done a few jobs for me and every time he has had come to my rental condo, he has been there when he said he would; he even made time on a weekend, the only time I could meet with him.  Jay is courteous, knowledgeable and does an excellent job.  I would not hesitate to use him again in the future and would highly recommend him to anyone needing the services of an excellent, reliable electrician.

I was looking for an electrician and read some reviews on Yelp. I called Jay and we talked couple of times. My work was not big so I gave him upfront idea. Jay arrived on time and was very friendly and professional. We went over the work - essential fixes and optional additions. He gave reasonable quotes for both. He fixed all the items in couple of hours. I am very satisfied with his work. I will be calling him for additional work we discussed and decided to do in a separate phase.

A bit disappointed our second time around. When we needed additional work done Jay was unable to do it because one of his employees had a death in the family--I completely understand that! However, he just said it couldn't be done. He didn't say that he could schedule it for another time--weeks later. He told me he was very busy, overloaded with work.  Maybe it was me. In any case, I have gone to another electrician.

I had a great experience with JJELECTRIC. After having some bad experience with contractors I finally found someone who is reliable and does quality work. I hired them for several electrical projects, LED Recessed Lights, Dimmers, a dedicated line for my microwave and some troubleshooting. Very professional and straight forward pricing and they worked around my schedule. Highly recommended, first rate service

I had a sub-panel spa disconnect box that failed. Jay come by the same day I called him and gave a very reasonable estimate. I asked him to do the work, and he and another member of his crew did the job the next day.  Work was completed and everything cleaned up nicely. Even though I'm guessing it was probably a bit more complex than he anticipated, the price was as quoted. I'd use JJ Electric again for any electrical work I need done.
