Response from A J ELECTRIC
[member name removed], I am not sure exactly what happened although we sent an estimate by email. I was unaware you hadn't received it. I am more than happy to extend you a discount to your estimate and re-email or mail it to you if you would like. I don't like to leave a bad taste in anyone's mouth so to speak. If there is anything I can do at this point let me know. Again my most sincere apologies for your experience. John Cannon

Description of Work: I would give them one star for showing up at the first appointment. John seemed knowledge and interested in my two projects, hooking up a garbage disposal and putting in a new electrical panel. He said he'd get back to me in a couple of days. Its three weeks later and after numerous phone calls I've given up getting an estimate or service from him. His helper who answers the phone keeps saying we'll get back to you in a day or two. |Terrible customer service - don't waste your time with them.

[Member name removed], My apologies on any delays on getting the paperwork to you in a timely manner. I should have been more upfront and let you know I was experiencing family issues with a father in heart failure and my daughter undergoing surgery at he time of your appointment. . If there is anything in my power I can do to remedy your experience please let me know. Again, apologies for your experience and I hope everything works out on your project.

I apologize for the confusion with the big deal purchase. I have taken the steps to talk with my representitive at Angies List to remove that particular big deal and restructure it making it more easily noticeable that we only preform this task in the city and county of san francisco. I hope you went on to fond an inspection service that was more suitable.

John added two new outlets and grounded an upstairs outlet. He was prompt, punctual, and actually arranged and rearranged all of my shelves and condiments before and after his work. He even added an outlet in a place I had previously thought was impossible unless we tore out the wall. Turns out, that wasn't necessary. Great service all around.

Overall, everything went smoothly. They are very flexible, personable and good communication and contact. They are very responsive. They came back and talked with us on a few occasions to make sure that they did exactly what we wanted them to do. The price was good considering all the other estimates we had. I would use them again in the future; in fact, they are coming to do some more work tomorrow.

He is very nice. He had to drive halfway across the city to find a circuit breaker for me. He is very responsive. I called him and he came a day or two later. He showed up on time. He did exactly what he said he would and didn't charge a lot for it. He had said that he would come back the next day to finish the work and he did. The nicest way to put it would be that he never flakes.

He was very prompt and professional. He was very thorough. I would definitely use him again. I was going to have the internet company do it. They said I would be better off to have someone come in and do it, and that I would probably get a better job and price. He sure was right. After he completed the job, I called him the next day to find out how to hook up my internet. He helped me over the phone. He was a very nice young man.

No work done, but the owner was very willing to give me advice on my project via e-mail.
Description of Work: When I contacted the company, the owner informed me that he's closing his business after many successful years. You'll have to search elsewhere for an electrical contractor.

I obviously should have told the truth that my middle son was in the hospital, and we weren't sure if we could continue in business; after having lost our oldest son at age 12 to cancer. Sorry I didn't divulge our personal life. My apologies.

I left a message at their phone number around 1:30 p.m.one afternoon and received a return phone call at 8:05 a.m. the next morning. We set an appointment time for the work two days later within a two hour time frame. Joe said they would call one half hour before arriving. I received a phone call from John (who did the work) explaining he was involved in a job that would take him past 4:00 p.m., and checking to see that it would be okay for him to arrive later. When he arrived at approximately 5:00 p.m. he was apologetic about the delay and appreciative of my flexibility. He proceeded to efficiently replace the fixtures and light switches, while clearly and calmly answering some questions I had about other electrical concerns. John was polite, helpful, communicative, efficient and tidy. It was a pleasure to meet him and to get my new lights installed with confidence. I would definitely use this company again.
Description of Work: Replaced three light fixtures with new fixtures I had purchased. Replaced four light switches and doorbell button with materials I had purchased.

They did a great job. They showed up on time and did the work I asked them to do. The guy couldn?t find the problem with the doorbell the first time he was here but it turned out it was two different problems. I can't say that any other professional wouldn't have found the problem the first time. They still did a good job and they fixed it when I called them back. I would have them back and I wouldn't call anybody else.
Description of Work: AJ Electric fixed the buzzer for the gate of my duplex and they took care of the doorbell as well.

He came when they said he were going to come. He did everything very effectively. Jon Cannon really knew what he was doing. We talked a little about smoke detectors and he gave me some good advice on that. He did a good job! Everything was positive here. The only hitch was that he miscounted the number of under cabinet lights and had to go out to get more. He did not charge for the travel to get these extra parts.
Description of Work: Our under cabinet lights in our kitchen weren't working. He replaced those with ones that didn't have individual switches so the switches couldn't go bad - this has worked out very well for us. He also replaced some smoke detectors that were causing us some trouble with more modern models. He replaced a dimmer switch that was not working properly. He also checked the wiring in some other smoke detectors to make sure the batteries and wiring were working properly.

Joe and John were great. Their estimate came in below the others i contacted, and they gave good recommendations for the best long term solution instead of just the quickest. They were always responsive to phone calls and even called me when they noticed my permit was coming up on expiration and needed to be extended. All the work was done very professionally and passed inspection easily. My only negative was the it ended up costing me about 300$ more than originally estimated due to unforeseen conditions (They assumed the wires running up to the second floor were big enough to support the sub-panel, and the main panel needed to be rebalanced per the inspector). I don't blame them for the additional costs, but it would have been nice if they had done more work during the estimate to find these things out instead of adding it in later. I definitely plan on using these guys again for my future projects and would recommend them to others.
Description of Work: I was remodeling a half bathroom and needed new electrical run to bring it up to code. It ended up making more sense to install a new sub panel in my second floor unit instead of trying to run up individual wires for this and future work

In our office, we needed to add an additional eight outlets, to accommodate personal computers, phone chargers, printers, etc. They extended our panel downstairs, did light masonry work to install the outlets, and delivered right on time!
Description of Work: A J Electric has performed numerous projects for us, from helping with our remodel to installing fans. They're consistently reasonable, professional, reliable, and deliver quality work. Their website says they treat customers like family, which might sound cheesy, but is actually very true. They come when you need them, especially with an emergency situation and are fantastic! Highly recommended!
