Description of Work: I thought I needed a new fuse line, but JB saw a way to tie into an existing line that saved me money from a more difficult installation. Very professional and friendly service. I've found my go-to electrician.

Description of Work: Installed a bathroom exhaust fan in a bathroom where there was no fan and vented it through the roof. So they had to cut a hole in the ceiling to install the fan and vent it through the roof and also install a new switch as I did not want the fan to run every time the light was turned on. Arrived on time and was told it would take 4 hours and it took 4 hours and the fan works great and there is no longer mold in the bathroom. I have recently contacted them again to install some new outdoor lights.

Overall the experience went very well. JB was on time as agreed to. He found our major problem in an old four-way decorator wall switch, not a very common fixture these days. He ordered a new one for us, installed a non-matching switch in the meantime, so a string of ceiling lights leading to our basement could be used. He returned promptly after the Thanksgiving holiday weekend to replace the non-matching switch. Although I thought the original charge of $275 was a bit high for the work, he did check several other small issues while he was here, and did not charge us anything extra for coming back to install the new switch, except for the cost of the switch. He was very professional, very efficient, and a genuinely nice person. I would use him again in a minute, and will recommend him to anyone who needs electrical work.
Description of Work: Examined light circuit and found malfunction in a four-way switch. Ordered and replaced four-way switch after the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Put temporary non-matching style switch in until new one arrived. Repaired high-ceiling light fixture.

Our house is older and over time, has needed most everything re-wired. JB Electric has updated and installed wall sockets throughout the house. Put in recessed lighting and track lighting in our kitchen. They have even run electricity out to our garden for a fountain and outdoor lights around our pond and house. Every time we want some work done, they respond with timeliness to the project. If it is an emergency, they are out that day. They are very polite and friendly and we have grown comfortable trusting them. At this time, I don't have a price on a particular project, just that they have always been fair with their pricing.
Description of Work: JB Electric has essentially re-wired our whole house, inside and outside.

Overall, Jim did an outstanding job. Jim had an initial look at my problem (a tripped breaker resulting from an overloaded circuit) late one afternoon. He spent 1 hour assessing the electrical work in my 100 year old home, provided a reasonable estimate, and then simply asked me to telephone him if I did indeed want to have the work done. I received two other estimates (both higher than Jim's) and so decided to have Jim do the work. Jim and his co-worker (Rich) came to the house one week later to complete the work, as scheduled. They arrived 9:15 AM, and worked a nearly twelve hour day, finishing up 8:00 PM. They were extreme professional, and really quite friendly and easy to work with. Jim and Rich clearly explained all of the work completed, and were also willing to let me watch their activities, so I could learn a few new wiring tricks. It was really quite educational for me. I would, without question, hire J.B. Electric for more work on my home.
Description of Work: Jim and Rich split a poorly wired (i.e., overloaded) single 20 amp circuit (the source of power for my entire kitchen and basement) into five separate circuits (dedicated lines for dishwasher, fridge, wash machine, etc.) and cleaned-up some really sloppy wiring within my basement. They also cleaned up some data (telephone, cable) wiring, installed two light fixtures, one of which required installation of a new box, and replaced an existing ceiling fan with a newly purchased assembly. Some of this work was beyond what was requested and outlined in the original estimate. All of the work looked great, and they did a great job of cleaning-up all of the debris, etc., generated during the work.

Jim and his son, Rich, were extremely polite and timely. The entire job was done on time and the cleanup was great. They took the time to explain what they were doing and why. Jim is a great example of an honest, hard-working, electrician. I highly recommend J.B. Electric.
Description of Work: Removed incorrectly installed 200 amp breaker panel, installed new 100 amp breaker panel, upgraded grounding, and improved some wiring and connections. This work was done on a house built in 1940.

My experience to date with JB Electric (Jim Boden) has been excellent. He is an experienced, reliable, and honest electrician with an easy going, laid back personality. He's done considerable work for me already, and I expect to hire him again for additional work in the future. My only cautions, which are relatively minor, are these: (1) he can be slow in returning non-emergency phone calls placed to his office number (as opposed to calls placed to his cell phone number, which presumably is intended for emergencies), and (2) he doesn't write down as much as he should and can be forgetful.
Description of Work: For $1000, installed new electric service (150 amp panel inside with new cable outside to the electric company s line). For $700, installed new thermostatically controlled attic exhaust fan, replaced bath exhaust fan motor, replaced 2 light switches, replaced several two-prong electric outlets with three-prong, replaced whole house ventilation fan switch with a new two-speed, timer switch, and installed 2 new GFI receptacles. For $550, replaced a whole house ventilation fan (this required significant extra labor to enlarge the existing ceiling opening and modify the fan enclosure supplied by the fan manufacturer) and installed 1 new electric outlet in a bedroom. All work was completed as agreed to and in a timely fashion.
