    Electrical Repairs and Fixture Installation

    Antonio and his partner arrived on time and did an excellent job fixing electrical problems in a number of outlets in our kitchen. Also they installed a number of overhead fixtures and even moved the location of one of the outlets on our ceiling so that it it was centered above our kitchen table. Coupled with great customer service, I won't hesitate to use Java Electric again for our next project.

    Panel replacement

    Half of our electrical panel died all of sudden due to the age and poor quality of our panel, needless to say we needed emergency help. Antonio stopped by to inspect the work to be done, gave us options and made himself available the next day (1/2 work) to do the job. We are quite satisfied with the work he did and this means a lot coming from my husband as his dad is a retired electrician (living far away, not able to help). Antonio and his team work extremely well. We are another set of very satisfied customers!

    Installation of a 240V outlet for a new dryer

    I had just replaced my washer/dryer and quickly realized that I didn't have the proper outlet to use with the new dryer. I called Java Electric Ltd. for a quote and was happy to talk to Antonio who quickly provided one based on the description I gave him over the phone. He was also very obliging to schedule the appointment for the installation the next morning since I was eager to catch up on the washing that was starting to pile up. The next morning, Antonio (and another Java Electric Ltd electrician) arrived promptly at the scheduled time. I found them friendly, personable and professional, getting right to the job at hand and finishing sooner than I expected. After the installation, Antonio reviewed what he had done and we tested the dryer. The cost was exactly what I was quoted over the phone, which I think says a lot since he only had my brief description over the phone of what needed to be done. I can't recommend Antonio enough, and I'll definitely call him in the future for other projects.

    Answer from pro:

    We are most happy that everthying worked so well and that things were up and running right away. Our company stands by it's quality of workmanship and clients like yourself who supply us with work and take the time out of their busy schedule to write a review means a lot. Best regards, Antonio and the Java Electric team.

    Repair loss of power in one part of house

    We had a sudden loss of power in two rooms of our house. I was at a loss as to why this had happened. I'm pretty handy, but this was a mystery, so I needed to turn to the experts. We were very fortunate to have called Java Electric Ltd. I was afraid that this job might be too small when compared to whole house rewiring or adding circuit panels, but when Antonio arrived and reviewed the situation with me (for free), he found a number of problems in addition to the power loss, so I felt that I was in over my head. The next day, he came back with Laureano. The two were tied up on a previous job (already reviewed favourably on here), and ended up coming by about 3 hours later than planned. Antonio called several times to let us know what was happening and gave us a heads up when he was on his way. To make an already long story short, after some clever detective work, he found a loose neutral in a bathroom light fixture. Resolving this single issue, fixed all of the problems. We thought there might be an issue in the attic, but luckily we focused on closer problems and sure enough, a solution was found, and quickly. The point of all this—I don't think I've had a better experience with someone I contracted to work on my house, and at a fair price. Antonio and Laureno were personable, efficient, and cleaned up after themselves. If we are within their work area in the future, I'll definitely call on Java Electric Ltd. to do any upgrades or other electrical work on my future home(s). I can't recommend them enough.

    Complete knob & tube removal, aluminum wiring conditioning, relocation of sub-panel, new receptacles and indoor & outdoor lighting installation, general clean up of panels and exposed wiring

    Outstanding - the quality of work, the customer service, the post-work follow up are all 10+++, and super nice people to boot! Without a doubt the best crew that has worked on my home (and we've had many). When we decided to tackle the remaining knob & tube of our century old home and all its wacky electrical issues, we brought in the 6 highest-reviewed electrical companies on Homestars. We chose Antonio of Java, not only because his pricing was fair and all reviews were excellent, he was also extremely thorough when inspecting the house for the quote - in fact (and surprisingly) he was the only electrician who cared enough to opened up my electrical panels and sub-panels! We had a very tight schedule to follow, and although the job took longer than expected, we were more than happy that Antonio took the time to DO IT RIGHT. When problems came up, he never passed the buck, or changed the pricing, or left it undone. For example, after all the electrical was updated, lights still flickered when my 1800 watt countertop oven was on, despite being plugged into a dedicated line. Antonio inspected the main line coming to the house and sure enough, it was pretty much fried and totally unsafe. He took it upon himself, above and beyond the quoted work - and up 3 stories on a ladder - to fix the really shotty job that some mickey mouse electrician did (of previous owner). No more flickering. The ESA inspector came through and we passed without issue. I can rest easy knowing that Java has made my house safer… and it looks so much better, too! The cherry on top: the crew are MASTERS at wire-fishing. Not only did they make only the smallest and absolutely necessary holes through my old plaster walls, they rough-patched every single hole they made. Antonio is a consummate professional and true to his word. And everyone at Java (Laureano, Junior, Pavel) are excellent, hardworking guys that went above and beyond. It is so rare to find such an upstanding crew and I would not even think of hiring any other electrician from here on.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you for the outstanding ovation that we are most greatly appreciative for. Glad to help and we hope that everything works out well for great clients such as yourselves. Best regards, Antonio and the Java Electric team.

    Outdoor Potlights installed

    Antonio and his partner did an amazing job!- 5 outdoor potlights on a high pitched roof and unbelievable patience fishing the wires through. He is highly skilled and knowledgeable and very fair price. I would definately recommend him to everyone and he will be the one I call for any future electrical needs. Top quality workmanship, integrity and a complete gentleman.

    Install subpanel in garage and various plugs, heaters, circuits

    Antionio and his crew were great. This is my second time using them. They ran a 30 amp 240 volt circuit from my house to the garage installed 3 new circuits, various plugs, lights, 240 volt baseboard heaters in my crawl space, 2 timers on each of 2 of the lines (so the heaters and dehumidifier would only come on when I wanted to). They also moved around several 15 amp breakers and added some thin breakers so I could keep everything in the 1 panel. They were very efficient and I paid them for parts and time rather than a preset price. I am very satisfied!

    2 lighting fixtures and capping of a defective outlet

    I would highly recommend Java Electric. They were super efficient and honest. They checked in with me before they proceeded with the work and didn't try to sell me on more expensive options - always appreciated!

    Replace knob and tube, add new receptacles & security light, replace some light fixtures, add a new sub-panel

    During a basement renovation we discovered knob and tube wiring that ran up to the second floor. We got three estimates for the job, all roughly the same, but we hired Antonio because he promised to do no damage to our plaster ceilings (which would cost $$$ to fix) and only minor damage to the walls. He was true to his word! What holes they made in the walls they rough patched, and I finished them with only a little bit of work. The other contractors told me I'd have patch myself or hire someone to do it for me. The crew was great: they were friendly, hard-working, showed up on time and cleaned up after themselves each day. They did everything they promised, and more. Highly recommended!

    Breaker Panel Rewiring

    My breaker panel had been wired incorrectly; the wires had been split between two breakers, and it affected the functioning of both my dryer as well as shorting out and burning my water heater unit. When I called Antonio, he gave me an approximate time he could followup with me, and he stuck to it. He showed up, pulled apart my breaker panel, inspected the wiring, and gave friendly advice. Antonio not only rewired the incorrect wiring, he inspected all of the other wires in the breaker box to ensure they were correct. He replaced my low amp breaker with one that had the correct amperage. He worked quickly and efficiently and gave great advice. I would recommend Java Electric Ltd to friends and family, and then next time I have any electrical needs, Antonio will be the first person I call.
