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.

Description of Work: they were very professional. We needed a few odd things done. Hung new outdoor fixtures. We wanted one fixture rewired because it was originally done with interior wire. They suggested that we wait because the fixture it self was no good for outdoors either...the taped up the area that kept getting wet. We will call them when we are ready to replace the whole thing. They worked quickly and efficiently!

We check messages left when we're on another line during the day. We have no record of this person's messages. However, I'm very sorry he was not able to reach us. We pride ourselves on customer service and hope he'll give us another try and use the 10% discount we extend to our Angie's List customers.

Very well !
Description of Work: The electrician was very patience with me. He had me call the telephone technician and fine out what was need before he started. He was very informative as to what I needed. He did not charge me for the extra time he had to wait. He competed the work, very professional. I would definitely use the again.

Description of Work: JKJ actually did work twice for us. The first was back in the summer, when the electrician checked out a number of miscellaneous lighting problems and two broken ceiling fans. He took care of all the work he could that day quickly and professionally. The ceiling fans had burned out parts that may or may not have been related to this summer's derecho, but getting replacement parts certainly was related to the storm. JKJ ordered the parts but explained that it was going to take longer than usual to get them. They were very prompt and friendly when the parts did come in and followed up with me a number of times because I forgot to call back. We had a good experience with them.

Very irresponsible service
Description of Work: When I hired this service, they stated that the electrician would arrive from 12 to 2pm. The electrician called me at 1:05pm to say that he would be at my house in 30 min. By 2:30pm he was not at my house and when I called he said that he was 15 minutes away. I cancelled his service because I couldn't trust someone to provide such an important service when he couldn't meet his schedule and kept lying about his arrival time.

Response from Absolute Electrical Contractors LLC
While this was a free estimate, not a service call, JKJ personnel still maintained the same courtesy to the client. This includes promptness based on the information we had. When we talked with the member, who made the appointment, she asked us to call her husband before we came so he could meet us there. Our Project Manager, Warren, called several times and did not reach the member. The member did return our 4th call. Warren told him he thought he could be there within 30 minutes based on distance and expected traffic patterns. In Washington DC, traffic is always unpredictable. This was one of those times. There was road work in route and Warren told the member he would be another 15 minutes due to stalled traffic. Only then did Warren know that the member had been waiting from the beginning of the two hour window we had given the member. Because she had instructed us to call so he could meet us, we did as she said. Our times are scheduled fairly tightly so we would have preferred to know he was waiting at the home, rather than waiting for a call from us. We're very sorry for his inconvenience. This was clearly a case of missed communication.

Not well.
Description of Work: Called them for 3 things: 1. Fix a ceiling fan that went on and off on it's own and this they did just fine. 2. Fix an outside generator that was not working. They could not figure out how to do this after just trying to start it over and over and over and over. Just turning the ignition switch the same way over and over. Oh well, no go. 3. Find out why an electrical circuit breaker kept flipping off after a couple of minutes and fix the problem so the garage door could function and the outdoor lighting and fan would work. They spent hours trying to figure it out. When I'd pass them sitting down and staring into space they wooed say they were waiting to see what happened. Two guys who seemed, well I hesitate to say this but, not the brightest bulbs on the circuit if you get my meaning. Finally they said they would have to come back after notifying their office what needed to be done to fix it. OK I said and they left. It's been 2 months and not a word. They also left many tools behind and never came back for them. Not first on my call back list but thanks guys.

Awesome. No complaints at all.
Description of Work: The guys arrived 15 minutes early & were extremely professional. They were very knowledgeable & worked on the electrical wiring for moving our washer & dryer to the upstairs. They also did some wiring in the downstairs basement & kitchen area. Not only were they proficient & fast, but they were engaging & friendly. I would not hesitate to hire this company again in a second. In fact, I will be telling all of my friend about this company whenever they need work done of this nature. Great jobs guys. It was a pleasure to have you do work for us!!
