J & G Electric Co Inc

Description of Work: I called J&G because I was trying to change out a ceiling fan, and noticed I had old wiring in my home. It was soon discovered that I had a lost ground, which is a serious safety issue. J&G had great ratings online, so I thought I'd give them a try. I seriously regret my decision. It's a very long story, but bottom line, I paid this company 500 dollars for next to no service, I was lied to, manipulated and insulted. I've never experienced such unprofessionalism with a contractor before, and I've hired a lot of them, so I think that's saying a lot. The only positive thing I can say about this company is that they agreed to give me a portion of my money back (about 300 of the original 800 I paid them) when I complained to them about their service. They quoted me a price in excess of 5000 dollars for the original job. I ended up calling Wilcox Electric after my terrible experience with J&G, and had a fantastic experience with them. The whole fix cost 1000 dollars, not 5000, as J&G quoted. Don't call this company if you value your money. | |

Description of Work: Searched for a ground fault. Took him less than 1 hour to find. I spent at least 2 hours searching and found nothing.

Description of Work: I purchased a Big Deal for $178.50 for 2 Licensed Professionals for 2 Hours of Professional Electrical Labor from J&G Electric Co., Inc. They replaced some light fixtures that needed to be taken down and new ones put on.

Description of Work: "Erik had to trouble shoot a porch light... turned out the fixture had a short and needed to be replaced. He also installed a new timer switch and diagnosed a trouble some closet light switch. |Overall, i was very happy with the work Eric from J&G Electric did for me... prompt, efficient and very nice guy. I will call on them for additional work as needed."

Description of Work: The provider did not call and performed no services.

Description of Work: Answered the phone at 9:00 on Saturday morning and walked us through a very simple electric issue (not so simple for us :). Thank you!!

Description of Work: repaired electric socket

Description of Work: I need some recessed lighting and new lighting in the kitchens, plus, a panel checked to see if could be relocated. The panel had old fuses and they had not been changes in 20+ years as we have a large panel in the basement. He gave me a quote after speaking to me over the phone. He was $1000s off the other electricians who came to the house for FREE versus a maybe site fee of $99. I suggest in the future just advise the customer that they are not interested in the job.

Description of Work: Called them to discuss installation of multiple roof vent motors which I had already purchased. Received a call back within hours and received an satisfactory estimate. Appointment was within two days of initial contact. Was told I would get a call when the technician was on the way, which I did. Tony, was very professional and installed the motors. Even had to have him come back when one was noisy and he explained is was an issue with the roof mounting of the structure. Will DEFINATELY use them again. Thanks to Angie's list for this company.

Description of Work: Installed an electrical outlet to service an overhead microwave.

Description of Work: Worked all around the house checking previous home improvement wiring changes. Identified and corrected several problems and went the extra mile by recommending that a few items of planned future work were not necessary thereby saving us money

Description of Work: Great

Description of Work: I bought a high end stackable washer and dryer, only to get it home to find that the plug in my older home could not accomodate the additional ground required by the cord. Bosch and one electrician threw up their hands and said that because the cord was factory installed (and so could not be switched out), I would have to spend $2000 more to rewire from the box on the first floor to the dryer on the third.J&G was my final atempt to find a solution. Their electrician made time for me the next day at 7:00AM, was on time and at first thought the same thing as his predecessor. When he left, he was clearly bothered that he could not help me. A few minutes later he was back, having thought of "one more thing to try." His additional investigation uncovered an existing ground and an hour later, the units worked perfectly. I am sorry I missed the young man's name, but he is a treasure for J & G.

Description of Work: I had some electrical problems related to my dishwasher and garbage disposal. Eric, who answered my call, was very friendly and was accomodating of my work schedule, coming out very early on a Monday morning. He arrived exactly on time (6:30 am), removed his shoes as it was raining outside, and immediately got to work. He fixed the problem in around 20 minutes and took $100 off his original estimate, since the work was easier than expected (though something I still wouldn't have tackled myself). Everything works great!

Description of Work: I had no power to one of two pendant lights over my kitchen counter. Eric gave me an estimate over the phone, then he and Josh came out as scheduled. They were able to identify the problem (a bad connection) and fix it quickly, and even went ahead and hung my second light for me, which was really nice of them, since it saved me the trouble of doing it. They were timely, professional, effective, and personable. Really a nice experience.

Description of Work: We had a few sparks come out of a light switch on a Thursday evening. Seeing the good reviews J&G had gotten, I called at about 6:30 p.m. and Eric answered. He diagnosed the problem over the phone (it was just an old switch that burned out), told me how much it was going to cost and said he could fit us in the next day at 9:30. He was here on time. It cost what he said it would even though he also fixed a loose outlet. He was personable and professional, and I'd definitely use him again.

Description of Work: Eric came out last minute to restore power to my house the day that i moved in. He was punctual, courteous, and skilled (only took an hour). I am also a huge fan of the transparent pricing from J&G, and will definitely be using their services in the future!

Description of Work: Eric responded very quickly to our Angie's List request. We scheduled an appointment but had to reschedule as we had a conflict. Eric was very cooperative in rescheduling. Gave us a 3 hour time frame to arrive. Called before coming with an exact time and arrived at that time. He replaced an old light fixture in our dining room with a new semi-flush light fixture. He did an excellent job and was quick and efficient. A very pleasant experience. Wouldn't hesitate to use J & G again. They are very professional.

Description of Work: Friendly and peorfessional .. . cleaned-up aftwards. . definitiley recommend

Description of Work: At 6 am I noticed smoke pouring out of an electrical outlet in my house. Sparks soon followed. I called J&G expecting to leave a message, but got the owner of the company. He immediately came to my house, which was en route to his office. Eric checked the electric panel, installed a new outlet and explained what had happened in non-technical terms. Most important, he remained calm and encouraging throughout. I'm thinking, "FIRE!!! FIRE!!", while he is very laid back and kept repeating, "We can handle this. It's easy to fix." Whew.

Description of Work: We took advantage of a J&G Electric offer through Angie's List to obtain two hours of an electrician's time for our home. Eric Sut did the work, and performed superbly. In the two hours, he fixed the light on our ceiling fan in the library, an outlet that required tracing the short to a light fixture, and a light in our bathroom. He also installed a ceiling light in our upstairs hallway. He showed up on time, did everything we asked of him, showed and explained what he did and how and did it, and answered questions in common-sense layman's terms. Eric was a great credit to his company, and very professional in a friendly way. Based on my experience, I would recommend him and J&G for any future household electrical work.

Description of Work: Last weekend, the dimmer switch to my kitchen fixture was no longer working. I tried to replace it myself without any success. I called J&G Electric on Monday. The electrician explained the company's policies and costs and set up an appointment for Wednesday. The electrician repaired it immediately and was efficient, professional and personable. I was delighted with his efficiency and effectiveness. He also removed the metal end of a bulb from the front outdoor light bulb. The price quoted over the phone was the amount I paid. It was a fair price, compared to other electricians I will call. From this experience I will call J&G Electric again.
