Jarus Electric

Jarus Electric was very prompt, he was a little late at one time but he called ahead. He was very clean, neat and conscientious. I have an estimate for him to do a new fuse box and I plan to use him in the future.a

Contacted this company at the end of September 2010 and made an appointment (October 1, 2010 at 1:30 pm) for him to come out and provide an estimate. No show and no phone call.

Tom stopped at our house the day after I called, to check out the situation and give us an estimate. He did the actual job the next week. He completed all the work in approx 3 hours. He installed the new fixtures and wall switch very neatly, hiding the wires extremely well, and making sure that the fixtures were parallel to each other. What most impressed me was how clean he left the room where he was working as well as the adjacent basement room. Even though he had to drill into some wood, the floor was immaculate (no dirt, no shavings for me to clean up!). In my opinion, he is one of only 2 or 3 workmen out of many who have come to our house and really paid attention to doing a thorough job of cleaning up after the job was completed.

If I choose to do the work, it will be done by Tom.

It went very well. Tom came out the same day that I called and, with the help of another man, performed the above job. I thought the work was done very well although it took a little longer than I thought it would have. Tom did have to find the "hot" line since there was none in the attic already. Took about 3 hours altogether.

Tom removed the post and corrected the initial problem. The illuminating company retured to disconnect the temporay power to my house, but they refused to disconnect the temporary cable since they found continued low voltage problems. Tom determined the location and cause of the additional problems (the undergorund sprinklers system that was installed by the previous owners damaged wiring when it was installed). He worked with the Illuminating company on our behalf to get the job complete. We were very pleased with his work and diligence working with the electric company.

These guys are fantastic. Everything went great. The owner met with us at least four times before even giving an estimate. He kept us informed and up-to-date. The workers were courteous, professional and helpful. I would use Jarus for absolutely any electrical work, large or small. They were a pleasure to work with and provided not only the work, but solid advice on budgeting and priorities.

I called Jarus Electrical in a panic around 6 am in the morning. I was ironing a pair of pants for work when the breaker cut out. Problem is, the furnace (air conditioning) and the refrigerator are both on that line! Tom promised to be there within the hour, and he was! (Thank goodness I got my shower in.) Tom reset the breaker, and then tested the furnace fan, the refrigerator and the dehumidifier, which we learned were all on the same 15 amp circult. What I didn't realize was that the iron shared the same outlet, which is what caused the breaker to cut off. The real culprit was the dehumidifier, which without the iron but with the fridge and furnace, operates at about 14.1 amps. When we tested pulling the plug on the dehumidifier, the wattage dropped all the way down to just a little over 7 amps! Since the breaker is still in working order, we kept everything as is for now, so all I had to pay for was the service call. I've used Tom in the past, and will continue to call on Jarus Electric for all of my electrical needs! Professional but friendly, Jarus Electrical meets and exceeds all expectations!

Tom came on very short notice to work around another job we had going on that discovered an electrical line that needed to be rerouted before they could proceed. While he was here he noticed that the connections between the house and the main power line had been damaged, and were not secure. We made arrangements to have this dealt with, and while we were at it decided to deal with our ancient breaker panel, a problem which we were previously aware of. Tom was very accommodating, working around his schedule to try and fit us in quickly to allow our other repair job to proceed. He also made the arrangements for the inspection and followed up with us to ensure everything was fine. We were very pleased with his work and professionalism and would use him again.

Overall, the service went well. I didn't price compare since it was an emergency, but two guys were there for about 5 1/2 hours. They answered the phones at 3:15 am and were there by 8:30 am. They hooked up temporary power by 11 am, so I did not lose my freezers which was helpful. They finished the job after buying the parts for replacement.

As always, Tom is professional, respectful of our property, and friendly. In addition to doing the work simply stated above, he secured the wire to the outdoor outlet in a manner that will enable use to access and use it again in the future. He also filled in the space where the wire exits the house to prevent pests from entering and made a temporary fix to the siding where the outlet exited the house (we will permanently fix this ourselves).

After visiting the house, Mr. Jarus quickly emailed me a quote for the work. Three weeks later, the work began. Mr. Jarus did everything we asked, even taking an extra day to do the work because the placement for one of the outlets was difficult for him to get to. He and his workers were efficient, friendly, and cleaned up after themselves each work day. When the work was completed, Mr. Jarus showed me everything that had been done and made sure I was satisfied with the work. Overall, this was a wonderful experience and I will definitely consider Jarus Electric if I need to have electrical work done in the future.

Mr. Jarus showed up on time. We had some issues over how the electrical bill was paid. He is a good electrician but needs to take care over customer communication.

We hired Jarus to complete prewiring for heated floor, which they did (see previously submitted report). However due to some miscommunication from our flooring company, we needed Jarus to make not one, but two additional unplanned trips. Tom was great to get someone out immediately when I called late the night before and had someone out the very next morning. Unfortunately another surprise came up and once again Tom was able to supply an electrician to finish up the job. I cannot rate Tom and his team high enough and really appreciate their efficiency.

Tom was great from our initial meeting to review our requests and provided terrific suggestions. His estimate was extremely prompt after our meeting. Tom and Mike worked for two days to run the wiring from the basement to the second floor master bedroom/bathroom. It was very challenging as they ran wiring from one end of the basement, up through the attic, across the length of the house, and down to the master bedroom/bathroom. We appreciated that they did not give up and most importantly only had to put two holes in the bathroom drywall (which they patched upon completion) to complete all of the upstairs projects. They also completed the remaining projects except for the under cabinet lighting in the kitchen. Due to all of the challenges, Carl came back on a different day to complete the final project. He was absolutely incredible as he managed to install all of the under cabinet lighting in our kitchen WITHOUT any holes! He was able to go through the drywall in the garage. We could not have been more impressed!!! After each work day was completed, they cleaned up throughly. They also took care throughout the entire project to stay as neat and clean as possible. My husband and I are extremely particular and we could not give Tom and his team a high enough recommendation. I plan on using Jarus Electric for all of my future electrical needs. I will recommend them to my family and friends and suggest to all Angie's List members as well.

They were prompt in giving the estimate and Tom came back 3-4 days later. He was prompt and very efficient.

Tom was great when he first came to give me an estimate. He not only crawled through the walls/crawlspace in my finished attic to see the knob and tube wiring, but he also spent considerable time in the basement talking me through my electrical system and looking at how things were done. I felt very confortable with Tom's experience as a licensed electrical contractor as well as licensed electric safety inspector. I ended up accepting his proposal and he came out the following week after my acceptance. They were on time and took care not to make a mess, even bringing an extra pair of shoes to wear inside since it was snowy outside. I am happy with the finished product and would definitely use Tom again in the future.

Excellent experience. I highly recommend Tom and his team.

All around excellent job. Tom is extremely punctual and prompt. He explained different options, provided me an estimate on Saturday afternoon, and the work was completed on Monday. I will absolutely refer him to others. I wish we had found him sooner.

Tom was very informative. He inspected my basement and told me exactly what the issues were with my electrical. He and his team were very punctual and professional. I am very happy with the result of his work.

Prompt, professional service. Excellent workmanship. Friendly and a dog lover too!

Tom came right out to give me an estimate on the work we wanted done. We wanted a lot done, so Tom had a lot of notes to take. He forgot to figure in the attic work we wanted done when he gave us the estimate, but we went ahead with the project and asked that Tom give us the estimate for the attic after the project was underway. That worked out fine, and the price was fair. Everyone asked a lot of questions to make sure that we were getting what we wanted. The crew cleaned up the areas where they worked, and were very considerate. They put up the ceiling light without charge! It took awhile to get the job done, and work was spread over about 4 different days. I wouldn't have anyone else work on my electric.

Tom was very easy to work with and made suggestions as he went over our requests. He followed up with a quote and time table for the work. He was on time and if there were any changes he brought them to our attention right away. His crew is very polite and quiet as they work. They completed the job quickly and to our satisfaction.

Everything went on fine but he didn't want to do the job. He is in business for thirty years now and I think now it is his retirement age, may be that's the reason he didn't do the work here.

The electrician was responsive and professional. The quality of work was good. He fixed things temporarily as it was a Saturday and then came back later in the week and fixed them up permanently. I wouldn't know about the price because the guy who cut the power line paid the bill.
