Java Electric Ltd. reviews (709)

We recently bought an 85 year old house, so as you can imagine, there was a lot of electrical work to be done. The main job was removal of knob and tube wiring which spanned most of the house. I got quotes from about five electricians which I found through recommendations from co-workers, recommendations from our realtor, ads in the paper, online, etc. Right from the beginning, Java Electric was by far the best service. They returned my call promptly and set up an appointment for a quote. Antonio and Manuel came by the house, on time, and provided a very thorough inspection of the situation and a detailed explanation of what had to be done and why. Antonio informed provided me with a written quote the next day, but he was able to provide me a rough verbal estimate before he left and even told me exactly how he calculates costs. His quote was very fair and competitive. After our first meeting with Antonio and Manuel, there was absolutely no question about who to hire, and we phoned Java Electric to set a date to start the work. When we had to delay work because of other renovations going on, Java Electric was extremely accommodating, and was able to reschedule. Since we had to delay past the deadline our insurance had given us to upgrade the wiring, Antonio gladly provided an official letter to our insurance stating that they were hired to remove the knob and tube wiring and would start work as soon as possible. In the end, we ended up commissioning Antonio to do quite a bit of electrical work, including: -Full removal of knob and tube wiring throughout the house (basement, main floor, upper floor – lights and receptacles) -Installation of a brand new Siemens panel -Amalgamation of lights onto one switch -Running new circuits to the kitchen for more power -Installation of two new outdoor GFCI receptacles -Installation of four new indoor receptacles -Installation of two new three-way switches to control basement lights from the main floor -Removal of bed room pot lights and installation of a center fixture for a ceiling fan The actual work done by Antonio and Manuel was absolutely impeccable. His wiring is extremely neat and logical. I can’t emphasize enough that when it comes to running new circuits, Antonio spends his time finding clever routes and fishing the lines rather than making holes in the walls/ceilings. It is absolutely amazing that they pretty much re-wired my entire house with such few holes. On top of that, they patch up the few holes they do need to make! This is a huge bonus! Lastly, they are extremely clean. They lay drop cloths everywhere they work and thoroughly clean up all the areas they work in on a daily basis. I am not exaggerating when I say my house was cleaner each day after Antonio left than before he came. Contrast this with my neighbour who hired a shoty electrician and had to move out of their house during the knob and tube removal since their electrician made so much dust. They were also amazing in terms of keeping me in the loop. Everyday Antonio would tell me what he planned to get done that day, why it needed to be done that way, and what to expect. Every evening he would phone me to review what was done and what time he would start the next day. On top of everything else, Antonio and Manuel are just genuinely nice guys – the type of guys you don’t mind having in your house. Very, very, very, very highly recommended!

"There's always a way." This is what Antonio told me, and truthfully I wondered at times if there was a way. We had given them some truly difficult requests. However Antonio and Manuel were able to make the impossible possible, installing 15 pot lights in different locations throughout my downtown condo. I can not say enough about the professionalism, friendliness, and enthusiasm these two put into their work. They truly care about doing the job professionally and not cutting any corners. I will be calling Manuel next time I need any work done. Thanks guys!

Recently, my wife and I hired Pierre from Java Electric to install some pot lights and electrical outlets in the basement of our home. Being an older home it presented some challenges, but Pierre and his understudy/assistant Keith were fantastic. They worked quickly, efficiently and cleaned up the area thoroughly when they were done. The work Pierre did was excellent. in fact Pierre went above and beyond what we asked him to do. Not only is he an excellent electrician and very professional, he is also a genuinely sincere and great guy. We will definitely be using Pierre again and we would recommend him in a heartbeat.

I was completing a renovation and was frustrated because many electricians I contacted did not even bother to call me back. Pierre called right away and not only gave me a fair estimate, but he talked me out of doing expensive and unnecessary work. The job was priced as a whole, and not by the hour, which was very comforting because there were no cost overruns. Pierre was very professional and the work he competed was more than I expected. Pierre made excellent suggestions about the placement of outlets and potlights and I am very pleased with the outcome. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for excellent work and fair pricing.

Had the oportunity to meet Manuel from Java. He came to my house and put the electrical panel under control. The job ended up being more than we thought and still, he was able to give a very good deal for the service. Very proffessional and quality work.

If you are looking for an excellent Electrician who is qualified, honest and reliable Antonio and his assistant Manuel from Java Eectric is the company to choose.They transformed my messy fuse box and area to a high quality neatly labelled breaker panel.

Pierre from Java Electric, helped me get my phone line back after switching from one phone company to another one , when the new company's technician refused to run the cable from the cable box to the inside of the house. Pierre is a true professional and passionate about what he does. It was a pleasure to meet him and i will definitely recommend using his services.

This is the third time that we call Java. They always provided excellent, high quality service and affordable price. This time we needed to install a new range hood since we just purchased a new stove and new hood. Java did a great job installing the new hood from unistalling the old one to installing the new one (including the electrical connections) to cleaning up the kitchen after a perfect service. I highly recommend Java to anyone that may require an electrical service.

We decided to go with Java Electric after getting a few estimates. Their price was competitive, we liked their pricing model (based on labour, not per item like other companies) and we really liked Pierre, the electrician - he was extremely knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Pierre and and his apprentice, Corey, arranged for all permits and inspection to remove all knob and tube from our 90+ year old home after we moved in 1.5 months prior. Both Pierre and Corey were a pleasure to work with. They were always punctual, personable, communicative and incredibly hard working. Pierre spent a lot of time in our sweltering attic to ensure he could remove all our knob and tube and replace it with new wiring. We really appreciated how they kept us in the loop about what was being done and especially his honesty about what needs to be done. Pierre explained how the electrical set up after mapping it out on day 1. And at the end of the day, he checked in to explain what was done and what he and Corey plan to do the next day. They cleaned up after the end of their work day, which we really appreciated especially since we have a toddler running around. We highly recommend Java Electric! Thanks Pierre and Corey!

Junior was always absolutely accommodating to juggling the delays caused by others during the renovations. He was always on time, courteous and went above and beyond what was necessary to ensure that I was happy. His work was impeccable.
