Electric Connection

They showed up exactly on time. The work was done quickly and efficiently, it took most of the day because there was so much work to be done. We are very happy with the results.

When I first explained the problem to Jess when making the appointment, he recognized it and offered to walk me through it over the phone. I decided I should have him do it (for insurance reasons). He spent about 20 minutes switching out the defective piece. It works fine now, and as a bonus, my light no longer has the annoying buzzing so common with florescent bulbs (who knew that the ballast controlled that as well?). That's the "typical" stuff that just about any technician can do. What makes Jess a step above many is his personable, "we're all human" nature. I've had people come in who are used to working in newer, fancier homes, and make it obvious that they would rather be doing so all the time. There are the guys who drag you into their work by asking for your help holding tools, measuring items, screwing things in, etc. -- and then still want to charge you the full "I did it all myself" labor rate. And I've had the ones who, upon seeing a problem, give you the "You brought me here for this?" look. Jess doesn't care -- if there's something to fix, he'll look into fixing it. Not to take this the wrong way, but I hope I don't need his services again soon. But if I do, I'll know who to call first.

I had hired John to install the exhaust fans I contacted John to install exhaust fans in two bathrooms. Both John and his partner arrived early one morning and started the work right away. The first thing they did was cover the areas with drop cloths and plastic inside the bathrooms to keep the house free of all the debris from the installation. I appreciated the labor of love they put into the job and went the extra mile to do the job right. John and his partner make a good team, and they were amusing at times. I was very happy with the result and will be hiring Electric Connection for future electrical needs. Thank you John for your professionalism and do not hesitate to recommend your business to friends and family. Keep up the awesome work!

We weren’t pushing hard enough. 🙂 We were afraid of breaking it. We were relieved to have our power back. It also gave us the opportunity to get an estimate on some work we’d been putting off for some time. Electric Connection will be back at the end of the month to complete our projects.

John and his crew did an excellent job. His price was competitive and the work was completed On time and on Budget. John was very conscientious about making sure the work was done with high quality, and per the current code. I will definitely hire him again should I need any more electrical work done.

We hired John to install 2 replacement bathroom exhaust fans. He and his partner arrived early the day of the appointment and immediately covered the work area with plastic sheeting and a drop cloth to keep our home free of debris from the installation. We really appreciated that kind of care. The job went smoothly. Both electricians have worked together for many years and functioned like a first class team. John chose the most efficient new fans to install for us, which was perfect for our needs. When the job was done, they cleaned up without a trace of dust or dirt left behind. John is the kind of electrician you can depend on for his expertise, his trustworthiness, and his pride in the quality of his work. After he left, I had a question about the air flow of the fans and called and left a message. He was kind enough to come back the next day to address and resolve my concern. We felt very taken care of by Electric Connection and will use them for any future electrical needs, large or small. We recommend John to everyone we meet who needs an excellent electrician.

John and J.R. know what they are doing. The SMUD techs and the county inspector told me that they did a great job. They would know, they see this stuff every day. The service entrance wire had to be rerouted and that was coordinated with SMUD. The panel box was upgraded to 200 amp. The garage was cleaned up with the exposed wires now in conduit, several new plugs were added. Everything was taken care of, cleaned up, and items put back. There was no clean up for me to do when they left. SMUD showed up on time and did their part, John and J.R. did their work, SMUD came back just as they were finished cleaning up and turned the power back on, and the county inspector also appeared and signed off the job. It could not have gone any better. I interviewed several electricians before selecting John. John is up-to-date on all the latest codes and he took the time to explain it to me. He told me my options for rerouting the service entrance wire. He coordinated the plans with SMUD and they "cc'd" me a copy of their emails. He used better supplies than the others were offering me, and he had a better plan for the secondary ground wire than the others. His price was several thousand dollars lower than the others. This is who you are looking for.

This was my third time Electric Connection has served my home and I have been very happy with the outcome each time. There is a reason why they have earned 175 out of 178 "A" ratings here on Angie's list. John is professional, honest, courteous and competent. He and RJ work fast but carefully and always do a little extra to satisfy the customer at a reasonable price.. Highly recommended.

It can seem at times that a good contractor is hard to find, an exceptional contractor like this is very rare. From initial contact to completion of the project was outstanding. John was my 5th and final bid and I was instantly impressed with his level of knowledge and had no hesitation on hiring him. He did what he said he was going to do, when he said he was going to do it for the price he said it was going to be. The final project came out far cleaner then I ever expected. I have my electrician for life now! 5-star service

John from Electric Connection was the consummate professional, he responded to me quickly and scheduled an appointment to come out to my house in short order. He was very good at explaining the problem and giving me different options, as well answering any questions I may have. Electric Connection is extremely punctual and very responsive to calls and voicemails. I will be using this company for all of my future electrical projects.

John and RJ are the most professional tradesmen I have had the honor to work with. Cost was very reasonable, he showed up when he said he would. They cleaned up nicely and are very respectful. John took the time to program the timer he installed, labeled the panel and always pleasant. You will be very satified when you have John take care of your electrical needs.

John and his worker are the best. We've hired him several times and he's always done excellent work. John is professional, punctual, highly skilled, and very attentive to all details. His prices are fair, too. Whenever we have electrical work that needs to be done here at our century-old house, we don't even consider calling someone else.

John arrived on time and had to fish the cable through the ceiling and the wall since there is no ceiling. He made a few circular holes in the ceiling and walls for the cable but he patched them nicely. I am very happy with the work and the price for 2 fans.

Very professional and thorough. Everything looked great when it was finished.

It went just fine. I cannot think how it might have gone better. Punctual, professional and exactly how I hoped it would go. On top of that, the oven installer complemented the work as a "nice job".

Smooth. If I had to sum up the service in one word it would be "smooth". From the first phone call to the walkthrough, the quote, and the actual working days. Electric Connection is professional, prompt and they know what they're doing. If I knew how smoothly everything would have gone I would not have procrastinated so much in getting started. These guys did a great job on my home. I would recommend them to friends and family.

I highly recommend Electric Connection. We had a large number of can lights installed in the ceiling. John was able to do the installation without opening the ceiling to run the new wires, even though there was little or no space above the ceiling. Other electricians said the ceiling must be opened. The job was done on time, the quality was high, and the price reasonable.

John and RJ are an amazing team. John is an excellent communicator, his estimates were very detailed and precise, he was upfront and honest about the pricing. He followed up after we agreed to proceed with the job, texted the night before to confirm his arrival. John and RJ arrived right on time, worked methodically, communicated the progress and even made suggestions to improve the project. They were dedicated to the job and didn’t stop until it was completed. We are really happy with their quality of work, John and RJ are also extremely neat and tidy, and cleaned up after the job was done. I would definitely be working with them again in the future.

John is an extremely conscientious young man. He was on time for a rainy day and he wore boot covers into the house to avoid messing up my floors. He needed a ladder from the truck and he was kind enough to wipe it down before bringing it inside. We discussed what needed to be done before he started. He showed me the replacement parts and answered all of my questions. Once he completed the job he picked up all the waste and wiped down the floor in the work area. He wasn't in a rush to leave as other service people typically are once finished. He looked at another job I was considering and provided an honest assessment. I will call him back again and I highly recommend his services if you want the job done right.

John and RJ did a terrific job every step of the way. All my phone contact was with John who was very helpful in getting the initial appointment scheduled, and explaining their fees and scope of work. He called the day before the appointment to confirm and arrived on time for the appointment. Once they arrived, both were very pleasant and got right on the job, which involved replacing an outside security light on a pipe elevated above my garage. They had everything completed and tested in about 30 minutes. These will definitely be my go-to people for electrical work.

The work I had done was; Whole house rewire of 1000 sq ft house 6 outdoor lights 32 canned light Light on motion sensor in the bathroom Fan on timer in bathroom 2 lights in the garage Whole house fan 25 outlets 3 sets of lights on 3 way switches All work was permitted and passed. The work was high quality. Everything was done above expectations. I would recommend them to anyone who wants high quality service.

Had a Challenger main panel that was arcing at the bus bars. John responded promptly, examined the panel, and gave me several options for repair. When we found that replacement bus bars were no longer available, I decided to have the panel replaced. John coordinated with SMUD for design approvals and disconnect/reconnect, and handled the permit process with the city. He kept me informed regularly about the progress of the (slothful) bureaucratic process. When the work was scheduled, he and the crew showed up on time and worked diligently, changing out the panel in about six hours. Every wire was labeled and routed neatly in the box for a very professional appearance. The box was mounted securely, flashed and caulked against water intrusion while maintaining the integrity of the building paper protecting the siding. He then installed new trim to match the existing re-sawn 2x4s on the house. John checked the ground bonding on the house and updated it to meet code. The job passed scrutiny from SMUD and the building department without any corrections. John wasn't the lowest bid on this job, but his price was fair, and the quality of his work indicates a high level of experience with residential service panel change-outs. I will use the Electric Connection for future work, and I recommend them highly.

Great. John was very communicative about each step in the process and he was on time. He offered advice and didn't nickle and dime me which I appreciated. I even considered doing something unnecessary for my home and he told me the truth about not needing it. Honesty is rare and John was with me.

John and his assistant showed up on time each day, explained what they were going to do each day, and did the work efficiently and professionally. They were very friendly and cleaned up each day. The work ended up taking a bit longer than originally estimated (older home with some crazy wiring), but they completed it at the original price. I was very happy with Electric Connection and would recommend them.

Can't say enough good things about this company. Initial contact went smoothly with an informed discussion about what was needed and a very reasonable price for the work involved. This two man dynamo team arrived on time and world efficiently. We required recessed LED lights to be installed in the vaulted ceiling and a pendent light moved from one location to over an island. I relied on John's expertise for placement of the LEDs and could not be happier with the results. We have lighting throughout the kitchen in the right place (old light was a florescent box). Now I can see if the pots I am cleaning in the sink are clean! Will be recommending them to my daughter and if I decided on under cabinet lighting will call them back.
