JW Electric was assigned to my home warranty claim to address a faulty GFCI outlet in my kitchen in Nov. I left a message and within 24 hours received a callback with an appointment window a few days later. Julian arrived early, asked pertinent questions to assess the issue, traced the GFCI line to my basement and tested all connections, including those connecting to my electrical panel. In the end, he replaced the faulty GFCI outlets in my kitchen and basement, and the problem was resolved. I have since called him for other electrical issues at my home not covered by my warranty, and he has been responsive, thorough, and priced fair. The only complaint that I have is that he's a bit messy and doesn't clean up after himself. Other than that, I would hire him again.
Description of Work: Replaced several GFCI outlets

It's 4 years later and Pepco has still not shown up. The box labeling was terrible...nothing was labeled correctly. I had to redo that work myself.

They can do the electrical work, but are sometimes lazy about making sure the area looks properly finished and professional. One electrician who changed my attic fan motor also stepped on the duct work in the attic, which resulted in insulation inside my airflow and me having to replace the ductwork.

Contacted JW Right on Weds the 21st to ask if he could install a motion light in our back yard. Part of his advertisement was that "no job is too small". I wasn't sure if he would come out just to install one light. He said he would come out the next day around noon. He was right on time and took the time to let me explain what I needed and where. He gave me a quote and said he'd come out on Monday to have it in installed. Two of his employees showed up in a timely manner and completed the job. They were not only professional but very courteous. I would definitely use them again and I highly recommend.
Description of Work: Installed flood light.

For a full explanation, see earlier review of Kolb Electric. I contacted JW Right to replace a T12 with a T8 light strip. I'd purchased the light strip via Amazon so there was no equipment cost. Julius was prompt and worked directly with me to schedule the appointment. I was referred to him/his company by my home warranty service. We played a bit of phone tag to get a hold of one another and schedule the appointment but that was merely due to the differences in our daily routines. He installed the light strip but it still didn't work. He was unable to diagnose the problem, and I was left again with no bathroom light above the vanity. (For how this two-year, $350+ ordeal finally was resolved, see my review of A Action Home Services.) I thought, overall, the work was good. Nothing exceptional and since it didn't fix the problem, it was a disappointment.

Description of Work: Julius came out same-day for a circuit breaker problem that caused our heat and fridge not to work. He quickly found the problem - a switch behind my water heater with a short and painted wires that was flipping the circuit, and repaired it on the spot. It was covered under my home warrantee so I only had to pay the deductible out of pocket. I highly recommend JW Right Electric!

Julius completed the work and also helped me with an issue I had with unused wires from my unused satellite. I was very impressed that I also asked him to give me a quote to replace all outlets and to move some cable wires to a non shared wall in my townhome. I would recommend JW Right to others as I was very impressed with the service.
Description of Work: I was referred to JW Right through my home warranty and was very impressed that Julius called and made it to my house on time. I explained in my lay person's terms what the problem (sparks coming from 2 outlets in the master bedroom, circuit breaker cutting off and on intermittently) was and he went right to work to correct it. He explained what the issue was and how to correct it and also reviewed the condition of my other outlets.

Dont ever use this company, they will send an inexperienced technician to your home. I used this company through my home warranty service and I will never do it again. An inexperienced technician came to my home and talked on the phone with another electrician because he had no idea what do at my house. He could not understand how to replace a simple electrical box and dimmer switch. The technician and this company I feel are unqualified to do work in anyone's home if they could not perform that simple service. When the technician came into the home and looked at the switch and the electrical box he seemed as he did not know what wire went where so he got on the phone. He asked if he could put a junction box on the wall near the switch and I told him he could not because I had a custom designed backsplash that existed and it would take away from the esthetics of the kitchen and I had paid a lot of money for that custom designed backsplash. After he discovered he could not put a junction box on my wall it seemed like he did not know what to do so he called the office and the guy on the phone told him to leave and say he would get back with me. I paid them good money to try and fix the problem but no work was even attempted. It was a disgrace that a company sent someone to my home that could not see or attempt to try and replaec the electrical box and dimmer switch as a first solution. I called another electrician who came in a timely manner, he replaced the electrical box and the dimmer switch in a couple of hours and positioned the box in the previous position so as not to disturb the custom backsplash. I would never use JW Right Electrical or recommend to a friend or my worst enemy. I think this company should reimburse my money

Response from JW Right Electric
Member I apologize you feel our technician was inexperienced and that we were not able to perform the work you requested. The particular issue you had came from work that was attempted to be completed in your home by someone who is not a qualified to do that type of work. Your warranty company makes the policy that if someone who is not licensed in that particular field starts work, then the claim is automatically denied, because of "improper installation", which is why the electrician had to stop his work. Unfortunately this is out of our control, as we were contracted by your home warranty company, which states we must follow their guide lines Our goal is to leave every customer satified with our work. I apologize again that you feel we failed you.

I was connected with JW Right Electric through my home warranty company. Julius responded promptly to my service request, and arrived on time. All of his repairs were done quickly, and he agreed to help me decipher the wiring of my HVAC system free of charge. At all times he was courteous and knowledgeable.
Description of Work: Replaced three faulty electrical switches. Examined HVAC wiring.
