Technician was quick to call back and would have come out the same day if I was available. Scheduled a convenient time and showed up exactly when he said he would. Quickly found and corrected the problem. Professional, honest, friendly, will definitely use this business again and recommend to others.

I had some questions regarding energizing an outlet for my gas insert. John called me back within 2 hours. John listened to my story and offered some suggestions. Due to time constraints on both our parts, we couldn't make this work. However, I will be calling him back in the spring.

John came by on short notice and right on schedule to check out the job. He observed that actually running a new service would be very expensive and complicated through the finished basement. He also observed that the dryer was nearby and that we could just piggyback off of the dryer's electrical service with an extension cord and we wouldn't need any electrical work at all; we can just not use the dryer when we are using the new equipment, which should not be very often. He saved us a ton. Will definitely use him in the future.

Everything went well. He contacted us within a few hours of our requesting assistance and arranged to come for the initial visit a day or two later. Follow-up visits were also prompt, except it took a long time to get one part--not his fault. Kept in touch through texting when awaiting next steps. Very nice guy--pleasant and funny, as well as good at explaining problems.
Description of Work: Tested and replaced smoke detectors; replaced disposal switch in kitchen; installed light fixture; assisted with other problems and suggested actions we could take without his assistance.

John was a pleasure to work with. He came when he said he would for both the estimate and for the actual work. He did an excellent job and cleaned up everything before he left. The job was very challenging because it was an old house and he had to go up two floors through the crawl space. I was impressed with his getting the job done. He was very pleasant and easy to work with. We have already hired him to do another job for us. I highly recommend him.

I couldn't be happier with the whole experience that I had with J & R Electric. John Roda returned my call within hours after leaving him a message telling him what work I needed done. I had already purchased the thermostats and he asked me some questions about my heating system and what kind of thermostats did I have installed. It turned out that I purchased the wrong type. He told me to return them and he would purchase them for me. John saved me money by purchasing thermostats which would do exactly what I wanted them to do without the extra "bells and whistles" that I didn't need or want. When I spoke to him on the phone, I told him the dimensions of the thermostats that I currently had and the new thermostats fit the holes in the walls, where the wires came out, perfectly. John came on the day that we scheduled and at the time that he said he would be there. He was friendly, personable, and knowledgeable. I would definitely hire J & R Electric again and I highly recommend this business to anyone needing an electrician.
Description of Work: Replaced five electric baseboard heating thermostats.

John responded to my request for someone to do a small job very quickly. He was prompt, a pleasure to deal with, and the price was exactly what he estimated. He identified some work that could be done later, and I will definitely call him to do it. Great all around.

He suggested a different location on a different wall and it worked out perfectly. He worked efficiently and I didn't have a mess to clean up when he had to make an opening in the wall for the outlet.
Description of Work: I asked to have an electrical outlet installed in a place that John told me that it might not be possible to put in due to the framing and the mantle over the door.

I write a review on a prompt and professionally returned call because they are rare in these parts, so this contractor would be someone I'd call back if I wanted bids on a job. This was just a phone call, so the "where the service occurred" is not applicable.
Description of Work: Returned call promptly and was friendly and professional. I had already booked someone though.

Very prompt, knowledgeable, and a really nice guy! He got back to me very quickly, came when he said he would and did a great job! He seems very honest and didn't do any unnecessary work when I asked him to evaluate some other potential issues. I have also asked him to look at a house I made an offer on and he did a very thorough inspection. Highly recommend!! A++

This was a very tough job to do. I put out several requests for this work to other contractors as well. Many came out to view the job. He answered the call as well. He showed up on time and the price was very reasonable. I have used him in the past and his work quality was the same for that job as well. While many other contractors did not have time to do this job, he took the job and he performed it in a manner that he has probably done for his other customers. There is a reason why he usually gets the A rating. He will leave when the job is completed and he has reviewed the job with you.
Description of Work: He updated 10 outlets in my house including customizing a outlet plate in the kitchen. He did 5 runs of cabling throughout the house to extend my off-air antenna and he put in a amplifier to extend the signal throughout the house. He also installed a whole-home surge suppressor.

John identified problems and gave me pricing for correcting these in addition to my original request. John pointed out things I never saw and facilitated correction of these. I am both appreciative and impressed.
Description of Work: My outside light stopped working and I had assumed it was because of water entering into the junction box. John came over and discovered that the wiring was completely against code and even involved use of an extension cord in the basement. John installed a new light fixture I provided him and corrected all wiring issues. Also, while there John pointed out many issues with the electrical work associated with a new well that led me to call the city about a permit and got the well company to hire John to correct these problems and get a permit for this work through the town inspector.

John, the owner, came himself. He has been prompt, direct, and very helpful. He has helped prioritize jobs with us so we can keep to our budget. He began by fixing things immediately such as ungrounded wiring that posed a hazard. He did the work himself and we find him very easy to deal with. It has been a very positive experience so far.
Description of Work: So far so great! We recently purchased a condo in a building built in the 20's. JR Electric has been helping us overhaul the electrical system.

John was out once to do the three light fixtures and get me an new outlet installed so that my under the cabinet microwave had somewhere to plug into. John quoted out the other work and then came back a few days later and spent the whole day working on various items for me. Some were new installs and other items were safety issues that I wanted dones so I would be in compliance and also removing any fire hazard potential. John charged a little more than I expected but I knew he did great work from reviews and I also had the same experiance. I also had nothing to compare his prices to so later I was told by another professional that I got a great deal for what was done. He was conscientious and found things that were important catches that other electricians had neglected and I know he was worth the overall cost.
Description of Work: One new outlet placed in cabinet to connect microwave/hood power suppy. Three new light fixtures in the kitchen installed. Four GFCI outlets installed in two bathrooms, and kitchen. New electric cooktop connected with new line to circuit breaker panel and dishwasher connected properly to circuit breaker panel. Garage sub panel ugrades with new breakers and removal of excess outlets for heavier equipment no longer needed. New outdoor floodlight installed. New box in light fixture in basement bathroom that did not have a safe connection in place. Grounded circuit breaker panel with was dangerously not grounded.

The plumber requested that we have an electrician ensure that our system could handle the new water heater. We contacted JR Electric and John came to the house to assess the electrical situation and then returned the following day to wire in the new water heater. He is very knowledgeable, responsive, and reliable. We had lots of questions for him and he was more than willing to answer all of them. We are considering in stalling a generator and John answered all our questions and gave us some sound advice. We will DEFINITELY use JR Electric to install the generator! If you need a reliable, honest electrician that knows what he is doing -- John is your guy.
Description of Work: We replaced an old water heater with a new hybrid heat pump water heater and needed an electrician to wire it in.
