Jdc Electrical Svc

Yea well I didnt get work done but worked for James a while back..Very uptitght dude for an electrician.Usually electricians are trained properly as I was through the ABC in San Diego. An electrician should know what to look for, check with a hot stick or wiggy before touching live circuits. One should understand that residential work or (resi) work is considered wham bam take your money maam type of work. Commercial trained electricians know better than this and take ppride in their work. Always question an electrician with your own questions before letting them complete work. Ask questions revelent to work being performed, box fill, wire sizing and load on the circuit. James is a residential electrician and in this economy aan electrician in this type of work will do whatever they can to make a buck.....nice guy but not sure bout the qualifications... more

I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND USING THIS ELECTRICIAN. James Collins is an incompetent electrician. I had called about installing an outlet for my kitchen range since it was previously hardwired. When I talked to him on the phone he quoted me a price around $90. When he got to my house I had asked him if I needed to turn off my ciruit breaker (which was clearly not turned off since my oven was properly functioning) and he had responded with a ""no."" He then proceeded to dismantle the electric cord causing the cord to thrash about with sparks flying everywhere. I had to run and turn off my circuit breaker so my kitchen wouldn't catch on fire. What kind of electrician doesn't disconnect the power source before probing the electrical box? I now question his license. I was very upset about what had happened and he was very unprofessional in his demeanor and comments about the situation. Furthermore, he tried to brush it off as if nothing had happened. He then had to leave numerous times to go to Home Depot because he forgot items needed and it took hours to complete the job (i.e. wasting both his and my time). Once he was finally finished, he charged me $150 claiming that it took longer than he had anticipated (even though it was his fault) and I needed to pay him for his time. Heed my advice and find a more qualified electrician. Cons: Almost caught kitchen on fire & charged me more than quoted more

I just needed an outlet installed above my fireplace for my TV. JDC was much cheaper than other electricians that I had called. They were very good about scheduling a visit around my schedule and did a very good job with the installation work. I highly recommend them for work in your home. Pros: Service, Scheduling, Pricing more
