Jim & Sons Electric

I contacted Jim & Sons Electric to get an estimate for a relatively minor job, but one that I knew would turn into a major job if I did it myself. They advised me that they had a technician in the area, and could be out that same afternoon.
Their tech showed up as promised, spent a few minutes evaluating the job and suggested that I order the light fixture of my choice, and let them know when I received it.
I contacted Jim & Sons the day I received the fixture, and again, they had someone available to do the installation that same afternoon.
It's not easy finding a company that is responsive and courteous, and who also does a good job and has reasonable prices. I'll definitely use Jim & Sons Electric for any future jobs. Great service!

Able to make a quick appointment, service technician was on time, did a great job. Would recommend.

2nd time I have used them.
They are super professional and reliable, a bit hard to get a short term appointment, but worth the wait.

We have used Jim & Sons electric on 3 different occasions
We have been very pleased each time
They back up all work they do and make sure the work is done right ( including small things such as how it looks after installation)
It is so hard to find reasonably priced and competent electricians... They fit that description perfectly

We have used Jim & Sons a few times now, particularly because they were always among the most responsive electricians. Nothing worse than never having your calls picked up or emails answered. They were also great in an emergency situation where we needed someone out basically next day, and they squeezed us in. Prices seemed fair in general. We will continue to use them and would recommend

Highly recommend Jim & Sons Electric! Very responsive, punctual and really nice electricians who did a great job on the projects at our place! Thanks!

Jim & Sons did a variety of electrical work including installing a dedicated line for a bedroom, and building/wiring a new bathroom exhaust vent unit in an aging house. Prices were very reasonable and were laid out in a very thorough estimate.
On the day the work was done, the electricians showed up on time, and went through everything to make sure it was up to my expectations
Will definitely use them again for any further electrical needs!

Consistently helpful and responsive. Prices are competitive and they always send nice guys to get the job done.

I had an electric socket replaced and a line fixed in the bathroom. It took 30 minutes.

Great job.

Jim and his crew have done quite a bit of work for us in the last year. They're always fairly priced, organized, on time, and very professional. We're going to continue to rely on Jim for more work. Thanks!!

TL;DR Professional electricians, clean work, timely and the right price

Background:

I collected at least 4 estimates from electricians for the work I needed. One electrician was eliminated because he suggested work that didn't need to get done and another electrician was eliminated because his quote was too low.

I was left with 2 quotes that were comparable in price, one of which was Jim's. It was a hard decision to make given I don't know much about electrical work. Yet, two things stood out to me: 1) Jim included a few optional services like getting a totally new panel. He didn't mandate it but suggested it. He also gave me some background information on how to decide whether to do it now or later. 2) When his electricians came out for a quote I had them look at some of the other things the other electricians pointed out. Again, they gave me all of the information I needed to make an informed decision.

I appreciate experts who help their customers understand what they are paying for. That builds trust and shows integrity in an industry that sometimes feels it's lacking that all around.

I had some ceiling fans installed and a panel upgrade done. Jim came to my home himself and gave an estimate. He made the drawing of the work and applied for the permit. On the day of the job, Jim was not present, in fact no one present was a licensed electrician (which I found alarming but apparently this is common practice). The work was done in a timely fashion and the price was reasonable. A switch needed to be moved, requiring some sheetrock work, the quality of which was mediocre at best (I had to re-spackle and re-sand it) however the electrical work was good quality. The team was professional and friendly.

Excellent Communication! Arrived on time. Job well done. We will use this company again. Thank you.

Installed nema 14-50 outlet for my EV charging. Done in 10 min. Very courteous and professional. Jim the owner is pleasure to do business with anytime.

Jim and Sons is our go to electrician since we moved to the Abington area.  We had a bunch of 2 prong outlets in our house that needed to be converted to 3 prong.  I reached out to a few companies on Yelp and Jim was the first to respond with the most fair price.  Joe was right on time when he showed up and did the job quickly.  He is a professional and obviously knows his work because he answered all the questions I had.  I am now in the process of hiring them for more electrical work.  These guys will have my business for a long time; I highly recommend!

Very good service. Reasonable quotes. We had our electric fixtures changed and they did a great job. We also hired them for wiring our audio system in the living room and they did nice work. We trust them to be good and not overcharge. I hope they stay this way. It's very hard to find businesses that don't try to overcharge these days. Thanks Jim and sons!

Since my husband and I bought our own home they have done all of our electrical work. When Jim's team was preparing to install electric baseboard heaters in our third floor nursery, he found out the baseboard heaters we ordered to have installed weren't arriving on time ( this was in the winter) he came on his own time and dropped off his own electric heaters for us to borrow until they arrived to be installed. We will never use anyone else. Amazing prices to boot.

I had a circuit breaker that kept tripping. Ron came out and did a great job explaining and fixing it. Reasonable pricing as well. Will use these guys again if I need anymore electrical work done

These are the guys to go with. I lucked out finding them. They communicated well throughout the entire process which is a rarity in the business and showed up on time. They completed prompt and professional work and we're very informative and knowledgable.  Mike/mark I forgot the name sorry did a great job installing new ceiling bracket and ceiling fan. Very reasonable price and was able to fit me in their busy schedule with little notice.  My wife will be so pleased to see finish product. Will definitely be dealing with them again.

Quick turn around between appointment call and actual visit. Service man was professional and neat.

We had the power to our stove/microwave/garbage disposal go out and spent some money for someone else to do (what we now know was) a quick fix. When it went down again we brought some people out to diagnose. Turns out we needed to wire that fuse to our main box which someone neglected to do prior to use owning the house. The quotes that came in were insanely high but weren't sure. Jim and Sons came out, diagnosed the exact same problem and quoted a much more reasonable price. The thought then creeps in your head, Well what if their work ends up being shoddy due to the price?. Nothing could be further from the truth. Our crew showed up on time, were courteous and went to work right away. Job took exactly the amount of time they estimated and they did an excellent job. I will be calling them for all my electrician needs in the future! Thanks so much.

First class professionals. These guys have consistently been on time, from responding to inquiries, to coming out for an estimate, to the day of the actual job itself. I've worked with a lot of contractors and this is a very rare occurrence. Moreover, they do outstanding work for very fair prices. Would definitely recommend.

Wow! After reading the reviews, we decided to go with Jim & Sons. We had two jobs for them- replace a bathroom fan, and replace an outdoor GFI out let that wasn't working. The electrician showed up on time. We got a quote before he started work, and the price was very reasonable. The bathroom fan turned out to be somewhat more difficult than anticipated due to the way the broken one was installed, but he managed to get it done. Next was the outdoor GFI outlet. He tested it before replacing it, and found that it was working, and showed us what we were doing wrong to reset it. He could have easily replaced it and charged us, and we wouldn't have known the difference. It is a pleasure finding honest contractors who show up on time. We wil definitely use them again!

Top notch work, and great customer service. We had 3 ceiling fans, 2 GFI switches (installed) and an an outlet out back replaced. Very polite employees and no price gauging. I would highly recommend them. I know I'll be calling at income tax time for the electrical to finish my basement.

These guys are great! They've done multiple jobs for my home and business. They are friendly and reasonably priced. Definitely my go-to for any electrical work!

I sold my house to an FHA buyer and as expected, the inspector flagged a few things with the electrical system in our house.  Of course, the buyer asked for the entire house to be rewired, but we were not willing to spend the $4000+ to do that, so we countered and told them we would address only the items the inspector actually flagged, which were: correct reverse polarity in 2 outlets; install dedicated line from panel to 2 kitchen counter outlets and properly ground the GFIs; install a dedicated line to the bathroom and install GFI; install a dedicated line to the laundry room and install a GFI; and install a ground wire from the panel to the water meter.  Jim came out and gave us a very reasonable estimate to do all this work and once we made the decision to go with him, we scheduled the work to be completed a couple weeks later.  Two gentlemen came out to do the work and they were very nice, polite, and respectful.  I am always worried about being disrespected or taken advantage of as a woman in these situations, but they were both great.  When their work was finished, I asked them if I could use their outlet tester to take pictures of the grounded outlets and the corrected outlets to send to my realtor - she would be sending these on to the buyer's agent to show that the work had been completed.  During this last round, we discovered that one of the kitchen outlets did not have the same test result as the other, which led me to believe it might not be properly grounded.  I won't pretend to understand electrical work or terminology, but he tried to explain it to me - why it was fine the way it was, and would pass inspection - but I told him it would just make me feel better if the tester lit up the same way on this second kitchen outlet as it did on the first.  And he happily complied.  Without an attitude or irritation or anything.  So thank you so much for that!  It only took him an extra 10-15 minutes and at that point I was 100% satisfied with the work!  All said and done, this came out to less than $900, and I'm very pleased with the experience.  Jim was great to work with and so were his two men!

Mike from Jim and Sons came to us through a 'general contractor', and was the only bright spot of that experience.  He was knowledgeable, friendly, gave good suggestions, and did good work.  I would not hesitate to use Jim and Sons for any electrical project in the future.

Excellent customer service and communication!!  Jim was so helpful to our family during the entire process.  He sincerely wanted to help keep costs down and was flexible when we wanted additional services.  I will refer Jim & Sons Electric to my family and friends and I highly recommend their services.  The scheduling went smoothly and the work was done at the appointed time.  The areas were cleaned up after the job was done.  Thanks so much for your help Jim and we'll see you in few months for additional jobs.
