J G Electric Co

I had a problem with a breaker and Jay, the owner, offered to come to my place in the next half hour. The office, which answered my call offered for him to call me back and he did. He quickly diagnose the problem and was able to replace the breaker with a spare on the spot. (I did not notice that there were spare breakers in the panel.) We also traced the problem to a overloaded circuit due to an old dehuminifier.
Overall Jay was very pleasant and competitent in his work. He has been in business for over 30 years. The charge was fair and reasonable.
There was a very negative review because the reviewer did not receive a call back. I am it happens to every business. Not really a reason to give it a one star.

This isn’t exactly a «review»; JG never did any work for me. I found them on Unilocal.The problem is: I spoke with a very nice person who said someone would call me. But he didn’t. So I called a second time and left a message. And didn’t hear from them.
BTW: Had the same experience with Tingley (now giving them the same Unilocal review).
I’m self-​employed and work hard to get new business. So it’s very annoying to have to chase after OTHERS to give THEM my business. If a company isn’t responsive/​communicative right from the start, can you really depend on them long-​term?
FYI: I wasn’t expecting them to «drop everything» and come right over. My need was a very small and not urgent project; maybe that’s why they didn’t call back. A smart business person would recognize that it may be a small project today, but the most important thing is to establish a relationship.
P. S.: turns out, the company I DID go with discovered a major fix/​update that we weren’t aware of. Big bucks for them… and a trusted resource for us.

We only had a small project for J G Electric to help me with, but sometimes those are the ones that matter. They helped us track down what apparently was a hard to find (long life) halogen light bulb for our living room light fixture. (The ones we bought at the bing name hardware store were burning out in 3 months instead of lasting 3 years!) They helped save us hours of searching and frustration.

JG Electric has been very responsive to my business electric needs. They can fix anything and are very professional. Dealing with contractors an be a crapshoot at times, but not so with JG Electric. They will take great care of you every time you need them. I will use them again when the need arises.
