Description of Work: J R Electric was called after we experienced a power surge after a transformer blew in our area. We were concerned that some damage had been done to a circuit on our panel. We also needed replacement of hard wired smoke detectors and replacement installation of a light fixture in the bathroom. A return call was received very quickly and John came out to assess our concerns the very next day. A very reasonable estimate was received and the work was scheduled as soon as replacement parts came in. The required work was done quickly, for the estimate given and at the time scheduled. John saved us money by repairing a light fixture rather than replacing it, and left everything in our home just as he had found it. We were extremely pleased with J R Electric in every way and would highly recommend them for any electrical needs.

John responded to my call the very same day. I gave a brief description over the phone and he arrived that same afternoon to check out the job and gave me an estimate. The very next afternoon John was there, right on time. We discussed what I wanted and he set to work to see if the existing (old) wiring was adequate for a dimmer switch -- it was not. After he removed the fan and the light he had to make a hole for a new port and extend the wiring from the fan port. He assembled and installed the new light/fan then capped off the 2 old ports. I was very pleased with the outcome. What I had before was a celing fan that wasn't centered to the room and the largest square flourescent light thing that I was so glad to be rid of. This was all done that same afternoon. John tidied up everything when he'd finished and was right in line with his estimate. I would highly recommend John for his professional skill and his cordial personality.
Description of Work: A ceiling light fixter was removed and a seperate ceiling fan was removed. A new ceiling light/fan combination was installed that required making a hole for the new fixture and extending the wiring from one port to the new. The 2 old ports were capped.

Great
Description of Work: Wonderful. John is knowledgeable in his field. He did all of the Electrical work in my new home, as well as a generator hook up since after the storms in Oct, 2011. He works very fast. He is Clean. I recently called him again to do more work for me, and in the near future I will be calling him again for my next project. For some people it may not matter, but he reminds you of a "hometown family man electrician", and to me that matters. He shows he cares about the problems at hand from the minute he walks into your home till the minute you need him again.

He did a great job. He had come in March because several outlets weren't working. He was able to find the problem (which wasn't easy) and fix and it and he recommended replacing all the outlets/fixtures because they were old and were likely to fail again in the future. He was dependable, professional, competent, and reasonably priced. We'll definitely use him again in the future.
Description of Work: He replaced all of the electrical outlets/switches in our condo, replaced a ceiling fixture, and repaired and updated wiring in the basement.

Description of Work: John ran 220v. wire from electrical box to hot tub on other side of house.

No problems and finished in one day with a minimum of disruption to electrical service
Description of Work: This was a service upgrade from 100 to 200 amps and was done as an emergency when the separate circuit for my water heater burned out. John rescheduled other work to do this so we would experience the least amount of time without hot water. The electrical inspector said it was a very neat job. This was the second time John has done electrical work for us and we will certainly be calling him again as we work our way throught the changes and problems in our 60 year old home.

My multifamily house is an old one. Unfortunately the second floor apartment was never updated with overhead lighting in the 3 of its 4 rooms. I had a longstanding tenant who recently moved out and it was time to update. John was professional from the very start. Scheduling was easy - he patiently worked around the schedules of other contractors that I had hired. He was also able to install a transfer switch for a new emergency generator that I had bought (because of the October 2011 snowstorm). When he was installing the transfer switch, he recognized a problem with some old wiring and was able to repair it (eliminating a potential safety/fire issue!).
Description of Work: 1) Put in new wiring for overhead lighting and installed ceiling fans in three rooms in my 2nd floor apartment. 2) Installed transfer switch for emergency generator. 3) Fixed an older faulty wiring problem.

A service change involves changes in the connection from the utility pole to the house. The only hitch in the process was getting WMECO to come out and do their part, but John persisted in calling them and finally managed to finish the job after they arrived. I wish all other other contractors had John's reliability and professionalism.
Description of Work: John performed a complete service change for our house--from fuse boxes to circuit breakers--and he dealt patiently and competently with delays from Western Mass Electric. He also hung a new ceiling fixture in our dining room. John responded promptly to phone messages and e-mails, and he came to the house when he said he would! He helped me find a competent plumber for other work I needed done. I felt John's charges were reasonable, though I don't have the records with me at the moment. John is my electrician from here on in, and I recommend him highly.

John came out to survey the job and what I wanted done. He told me what could and could not be done. He sent me an estimate within a couple of days, He promptly got back to me when I was interested in going forward with the repairs. He left me a date for the repairs to be done. I verbally confirmed the date with him. He sent me an email confirmation a couple of days before the scheduled date. Day of repairs he was there on time. I had changed me mind before he came about one of the jobs I had said I wanted done. He was very cooperative with the change in plans. I was totally satisified with every aspect of the job. I will defiantely use him in the future for any eletrical work I need to have done.
Description of Work: John installed a ceiling fan in my granddaughter's room and took out a couple of old built-in space heaters.

Work went very well. Was done in one day.
Description of Work: Light switch in garage was missing...one had to enter inside door to control garage light. This was added. Broken three way switch was fixed. Outlet was added to kitchen, plus additional circuit breaker. Switch was added to living room wall so that when you entered that room there was a access to a switch instead of having to walk across the room. The upstairs bedroom had a broken fixture which was fixed. Broken outside spots were replaced and moved to a more appropriate location. Old smoke detectors were removed and new, to code, detectors for smoke and carbon monoxide installed. John was VERY prompt. The work had to be done before new tenant moved in. He came when he said he would.
