Many people believe that their car is the largest single source of air pollution for which they are personally responsible. But in fact, the average home causes the emission of more than twice as much carbon dioxide--the principal greenhouse gas--as the average car. This is because most of the energy consumed in our homes is produced by burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas. This pollution is actually a hidden cost for the energy We use, over and above the dizzying $110 billion Americans spend each year on their home energy bills that's nearly $1,300 per house. Much of this energy use is unnecessary because there are a variety of proven, widely available products on the market today (heating, cooling, appliances, windows, lighting, etc.) to drastically reduce your home's energy bills, and accompanying pollution. What's more, many of these products actually improve the comfort and livability of your home.

Work was scheduled on first call at my convenience. Paul arrived at scheduled time, was pleasant, professional, made sure he understood what work needed to be done, answered my questions clearly and completely, and then worked steadily until the job was completed to my complete satisfaction. Would have no hesitation using JKJ Electric for another job.

I was very impressed by JKJ. They scheduled an appointment for the day after I called and arrived exactly on time (!). Jason was pleasant and very professional; explained what he found and what he was doing. Because the main job took less than an hour, he checked a few other outlets and switches that were concerns. I will definitely use them again!

Everything about my experience with JKJ was outstanding. Making an appointment was very easy. The staff was punctual and professional. It was clear that they are experienced and knowledgeble. It took them less than 3 hours to install 8 recess lights in two bedroom. They took care not to dirty the carpet and the walls, which I really appreciate. The overall price was reasonable and I received 10% Angie's list member discount. I highly recommend JKJ and will be calling them next time I need electrical services.

On time, professional, got the job done and didn't run the meter (no pun intended). Oh, and they showed up and did the work several days after I inquired on Angie's List, as compared to another top Angie's List electrical company who did thousands of dollars of previous work for us and who I had to bug for almost 2 months to even get an estimate for this job. Still don't have that estimate. Pays to shop around! Will definitely call these guys first next time, and not the others.

First, JKJ was scheduled at 8:30 AM and Paul Gordon, the electrician, knocked on our door at 8:30 AM. Could not have been more punctual. I showed him the outdoor light fixture which has not worked in a reaaallly long time. I assumed, given the age of our home, the problem was with the house wiring. Plus, I had looked at the light from several different angles and couldn't see anything wrong. This is why I am not an electrician. The problem was a loose wire leading from the socket which could not be fixed. However, Paul had a socket on his truck which fit after he patiently swapped out some screws, etc. So it was not a simple plug-and-go scenario. I really appreciated that Paul took the time to fix the light so I didn't have to buy another one and schedule another service call. This is our first time using JKJ, but it will not be the last.
Description of Work: Repaired a broken outdoor light fixture.

This team is great. No matter who they send they are profession, work quickly and efficiently, and do a fantastic job. They are one of the few service providers that actually shows up when they say they will. Personally that is worth the price they ask. No waiting around, wondering if someone will show up. Our home is much safer since they have changed out so much wiring and assisted with new light fixtures throughout the home. Being that we live in an older home is it very important for us to make sure everything is done to code and we are safe. Very much worth peace of mind. Thank you for the great work you continue to provide for us in our home. It is very much appreciated and you get our recommendation hands down.
Description of Work: The work done today required the removal and replacement of customer supplied switches and disconnecting and capping off exterior post light. However, we have used their services for a master bathroom remodel to change out old wiring, move outlets, install light fixture and replace switches, including new GFC switches. They have changed out all the switched in the house and reworked some of the confusing electrical wiring. We recently hired them to assist with the next bathroom remodel and there they will be installing new light fixture above vanity and again changing out old wiring and replacing switches.

See above. This place has closed for business I believe. I wasted two days trying to get a call back.
Description of Work: I do not believe JKJ is in business anymore. They do not return phone calls or emails. I have called twice (December 4 and 5) and emailed on December 5 - trying to get an appointment. The phone message says they are helping other customers, yet they do not return calls. Their website on 12/5 indicated under "hours of operation" that they were "closed" (and this was during regular business hours). They should probably be taken off of the list.

The fan worked but the light flickered and sometimes didn't turn on. The electrician determined that the problem was with the socket. The electrician went out and bought a new one (porcelain this time, thank you!), and installed it. We received the Angie's List discount for the work. Also, the electrician was kind enough to give me the serial number for our fan, a piece of information that I want to have on hand for the future just in case. Both the light and the fan work perfectly now.

it did not go real well. while preparing the estimate they failed to note that we would need a new breaker box - adding to the cost of the job. They did did not clean up after the job more than superficially, I was sweeping up wire clipping for almost 3 months afterward. The work crew's tool boxes damaged the floor, it took a considerable amount of time to get even partial restitution for repairing the damage.

Response from Absolute Electrical Contractors LLC
Since it’s been almost a year since we last worked at this home, we must rely on our database invoices and the electricians who performed the work to determine what was done. Our invoices indicate the following work was performed at the [removed member name] home. In August 2013, a whole house surge protector, purchased on the Angie’s List Storefront, was installed. In September 2013, the following is described on the invoice: - Replaced electrical panel and circuit breakers - Relocated a 3 way switch and an outlet in the kitchen - Removed and replaced a customer supplied outside light fixture No estimate is in our files and the work was performed on a time and materials basis, which is usually to the customer’s benefit. The electrician indicated that some time was spent moving items blocking the panel in order to begin the work. However, the total cost was less than the average usually charged for a panel change alone when a fixed estimate is given. Our electrician did not have a tool box and we worked only in the areas indicated. We were not told of any damage and did not provide restitution. Is it possible that another electrician performed the copper to aluminum portion of the work which sounds as though it was done throughout the house? [removed member name] was given an Angie’s List discount on the initial invoice after completion of the work. We want our customers to be pleased and feel our work is to the highest standard. It’s always distressing when someone is not pleased; especially when we learn of the concern after so much time has passed.

Both gentlemen who provided services were professional and extremely helpful. The air conditioning issue was resolved very quickly and when taking a look at the fuses upstairs they alerted me to a fire hazard in the way that the wiring was done on the upper level of my home (having and older house and having had similar problems in other areas of the home before, this was not completely surprising). They fixed the issue so that there was no longer a fire hazard and even went the extra step of labeling my panel so I'd know which breaker controls which room. This was all accomplished in just one hour of service.
Description of Work: We had no power going to the outdoor part of our air conditioner and also needed some fuses upstairs replaced.

Arrived on time - actually five minutes early. Friendly, courteous and responsive. Placement of the recessed lights quite tricky given location of ducts and joists - but they were committed to getting it right such that we were happy--and we are fussy. The three electricians had wonderful commitment to customer service. We had previously had JKJ install new electric panel and heavy-up service; that also was very satisfactory. We couldn't be more pleased.
Description of Work: Installed 6 LED recessed lights plus assorted miscellaneous electrical tasks.

I called Sharron on Tuesday, April 15th and described the work. Because this job required the electricians to be very careful working around my existing, expensive, radio equipment, I requested her "best" people. She quoted the price and asked me where I heard about JKJ. I told her "Angie's List" and she gave me an immediate 10% discount from the quote she had just given me. We agreed on the job date and time: Monday, April 21st and the JKJ electricians were to arrive at my job site between 7:30 am and 9am. On Monday, 4/21, they arrived at 8:30 am. They first made a site survey of the job. I described the work and pointed out my various requirements for their being careful and I answered their questions. The work began and I watched the entire 2.5 hour job. The two electricians were excellent. They knew exactly what to do. They were careful. They were diligent and their work proceeded non-stop. I answered several questions and made some cable-routing decisions as the work proceeded, but it was obvious to me as an engineer, that these two were well-trained and experienced. The work proceeded without errors or re-work. They did an excellent job. I was extremely pleased with their work. I will definitely recommend JKJ to my friends for their electrical work and I would use JKJ again in the future.
Description of Work: JKJ provided and installed 100 ft of #8/2 Romex, one new 20A circuit breaker, a piggy-back breaker & one 20A receptacle and installed two new 20A #8 wire circuits from my AC panel to my amateur radio room. This job required the electricians to be very careful working in tight quarters and not disturbing my existing, expensive, radio equipment and my existing cabling.
