GLENN JOBE ELECTRIC & INSULATION

Glenn is great - I’ve used him for 2 different projects. One was a new outdoor outlet with a motion light and the second was an indoor basement light (I actually tried doing it myself and made a mess - Glenn was able to fix it and do it right). Both times, he has been trustworthy, knowledgeable, and fair. I plan on contacting him anytime I need electrical work done.

The job was completed on time. Glen was very organized and neat. He even installed a wood barrier between my concrete wall and the new electrical panel to alleviate any problems

Prompt, courteous and affordable. Highly recommend.

EXCELLENT, we had Glenn redo our electric box a few years ago and we would call him again, in a minute. Returns calls, shows up when he says he will and does excellent work. Explained, in detail, how to use the panel if we need the generator and even made us a heavy duty cord to use with the generator. Cannot say enough good about him!

I would rate them highly. The work was good. The worker was excellent.

SO GLAD we found Glenn! He responded to our voicemail message within 3 hours, was able to fit us in immediately, and found the bad outlet very quickly. He replaced it , doing a very professional job. We would definitely use Glenn Jobe again, as we were extremely pleased with his work.

We lost electric on Friday. We contacted Mr. Jobe Saturday morning and he returned our call within 20 minutes of leaving a message.  He had wanted to come check out the problem Saturday afternoon, but because we had plans with our family for the day, Mr. Jobe volunteered to come out on Sunday morning at 9 a.m. (not a day that he normally works) even though we stated that we could wait until Monday.  Mr. Jobe arrived before 9 a.m. and solved the problem within 45 minutes.  He even sealed our electrical panel as water was coming into the unit as it had not been properly sealed at the time of installation by another electrician.

Mr. Jobe was very professional and friendly.  We feel that he went out of his way to help us.  We will definitely use his services again in the future and would highly recommend his services to others.

When we bought our house, we knew that it had aluminum wiring.  Our home inspector found it, as did the owner's inspector.

Our inspector explained to us.  because aluminum and copper expand and contract from heat at different rates.  Over time, this causes aluminum wiring to come loose from copper connections, which can cause problems.  There are certain approved connectors that can be used to connect the two, but they were not present at the time of our inspection.  The owner (communicating through the realtor) told us that an electrician was already taking care of this but the proper type of connector was on order.  An invoice was presented to use at closing by the owner to show that the problem had been remedied.

Fast forward a year and a half later.  One morning, getting ready for work early, I heard a crackling noise in one of the bedrooms.  I looked in.  The light was off, so I could see sparks coming out of the side of an outlet.  I called the fire department.  On my way downstairs, instinctively, I turned out the light switch that it turns out the outlet was on.  The fire department found that the wire on the side of that outlet was loose and explained that when dust gets in and a load is put on the line, the dust starts to burn and causes the sparking.  They removed the outlet, checked to make sure nothing in the wall was over 90 degrees, and left.

I had used Glenn Jobe before, for insulating before moving into the house.  I called him to have him look at the electric.  I was prepared to hear that the house should be rewired, but he stated that would be very expensive and recommended replacing all of the outlets and switches.  He said that any problems that occur with the wiring will be at those points.

I went around that weekend and counted the number of outlets and switches.  As it turns out, this was not a completely accurate count -- I missed a few.

He and an assistant spent almost a day replacing everything.  I think there were about 50 outlets and over 20 switches.  That night, we found one light that did not work properly -- this was an entryway light that had three switches to operate it, and two would work only if one was in a certain position -- he came the next day and fixed this (replaced two of the switches he suspected might be defective).

Since then, everything has worked perfectly, and he charged less than half what the prior owner had to pay her electrician.

Well, it took five days and there was a lot of pounding and sawing and noise.  We didn't like that but we like having light.  Glenn patched all the holes he made in the walls, (not his fault he had to make them).  And he did a really good job placing things when I wanted them in one place but he couldn't physically do it.  He made things look very nice.  He was flexible and accepted that I changed my mind overnight and we weren't doing what I decided on yesterday.  He is great at doing what you want but also at giving advice.  I value his advice and would always consider his opinion about things.  He sees a lot more houses than I do so he knows what you can do and things that I wouldn't think of.  His helper is neat and professional too and they work well together.  They both tolerated my geriatric dog who would wander into the middle of things when he woke up.  I will definitely have him back in a year or two when I decide what I want to do more specifically.  Plus, I must have called him three or four times with questions about electricity before my scheduled work time and he always took my call or returned it promptly and answered every question I had.

We had a new panel put in when we moved in 17 years ago and it was never "right", nothing that you could put your finger on, just a feeling that something was not right. Lately, our lights have been flickering and we called Glenn.  He came out, determined that we did, indeed, need a new panel and service line. He also discovered that we did not have a ground on the panel.  He came right on time, did the work--our lights are no longer flickering and all the lights are brighter.
We would DEFINITELY recommend Glenn for any electrical work you might need. He is prompt, efficient, reasonable and knowledgeable. His phone number is (724) 468-5453.

He was good.  He was here the next day.

Outstanding.  Very professional and completed the job exactly as promised.  He coordinated with the inspector and with the power company to minimize the amount of time we would be without electricity.  I would consider the job to be completed perfectly.

Glenn responded quickly to our request for service. He was very professional and answered many questions. We will be calling him again, when needed.

Went very good.  He cleaned up so that there was little evidence outside the attic that he had even been there.  I have noticed that the A/C did not kick on nearly as much afterwards.  He came back another time at no charge and replaced a cord on our dryer.

He is wonderful and we trust him. We let him into our house without any worries. He is coming back in the fall to do some more work.
