    Knob and tube Rewiring and Panel Upgrade

    We have an old house that still had knob and tube, so we had Antonio and his crew rewire our whole house and upgrade our panel from 100 to 200 amps. We had a few electricians come out and give us a quote but we were extremely impressed when Antonio and his crew came out to give us a quote and ended up resolving a electrical issue we had at the time. Never having the opportunity to meet Antonio personally, he seemed very trustworthy and ended up being exactly what my instinct had predicted. We had three main concerns, first one was getting all of the work done within our budget, the second one was finding someone we can trust while we were not there to oversee the work and third concern was bringing in someone that is respectful to our tenants and would be able to do the work with minimal interruption to our tenants. Antonio and his crew was all of the above and more. His price was very affordable considering everything he had done for us and the work was outstanding. After hiring Antonio we had no concerns and did not receive one complaint from our tenants during the time work was being done. They were very punctual and made sure they cleaned up before they left each day. I would strongly recommend Java Electric, especially to anyone who is out of the country and they need someone they can trust. Thank you very much, Antonio for helping us through this huge process.

    Pot Light, indoor/outdoor outlets and switches

    Java Electric installed six pot lights, two switches, an exterior outlet and repaired a broken bathroom outlet. I have been through two major home renovations in the last 5 years and have never hired such outstanding trades people. They arrived on time. They removed their shoes. They laid drop cloths over every surface, from front door to all affected surfaces. Antonio asked me what I needed and then explained to me how they were going to do it. He made sure that I was happy with the locations of the pot lights. He explained to me why he couldn't install one of the switches where I had originally wanted it. The crew was as quiet as they could be when I put my toddler down for his nap. They removed their drop cloths and put everything back the way it had been. The pot lights were installed into plaster and lathe, something that other electricians had refused to do for us. They had to make two holes and the crew patched them for us. Antonio took me around the house and showed me the work and tested everything with me. He made sure that I was happy with their work and then he went over the cost with me and made sure I understood the price. I would be happy to speak with anyone who is interested in talking to one of Java's clients.

    electical

    we called Antonio from Java electric to instal a new light fixture over our dining room table-it had to be moved 4-5" from the original spot and he managed to do it by fishing wires through the ceiling -Antonio is very professional and meticulous and did a beautiful job,centering it perfectly-also needed to replace some cartridge fuses in the basement panel that caused my stove and a couple of kitchen plugs to stop working-he fixed it all in short order and was very reasonable and accommodating -he is a pleasure to work with and we would recommend him highly and will certainly hire him again when the need arises-

    Recessed Lighting, Aluminum Wiring

    If you're reading this review and you need electrical work done, this is your lucky day. Last year I had Java Electric install recessed lighting in my home and inspect and repair some aluminum wiring. Antonio and his crew were honest, professional and courteous. They arrived on time and got the work done quickly, efficiently and on-budget. Follow up details were handled promptly. Safety issues make electrical work a worrying issue. But with Java Electric I got the best service at the best possible price.

    Repair, Rewiring, Addition of circuits

    I called Java Electric Ltd. based on the large number of positive reviews from this site. I must say, without hesitation, that Antonio and his colleagues were nothing short of courteous and professional. If one could imagine what the ideal contractor would be comprised of, I have to say, it would be the no-nonsense men of Java Electric Ltd. Antonio came to our home at the agreed-upon time to initially assess the extent of the job. He clearly explained that we required additional circuits to resolve a recurring breaker-tripping issue, and a new circuit to fix a "dead" receptacle in our kitchen. As well, we required an additional receptacle and some in-wall fishing for a flat-screen tv mounted over a fireplace. This posed quite a challenge as the wall structure was not 2x4 stud, but a series of wide furring strips behind the drywall (very tight tolerances on an outside wall!). Antonio provided an estimate, albeit, slightly higher than others I gathered, but given the straightforward explanation and rationale he provided, (compared to the over-the-top and absolutely unnecessary recommendations made by other electrical contractors who came through our door) I agreed to go with Java. Antonio and his colleagues, Laureano and Junior, showed up on time, and on the arranged date, and after a brief and concise explanation of how they would proceed, they began the project. I was truly impressed with their attention to details (i.e. laying drop cloths in the work area, or minimizing the extent of cutting into the walls, and the precision cutting and channeling through wall strapping to successfully run the power and a/v line for the tv and receptacle). I was so surprised when they explained that they would patch and repaint the holes made in the wall! They left the work areas cleaner than they were before they arrived. During the entire process, Antonio or Laureano or Junior would communicate with me, asking prior to making any cuts or drilling, if it would be alright to do so and then provided alternative solutions in case I decided not to approve their suggestions (their demonstrated level of consideration for client feedback before, during, and after the project was fantastic). If only all trade contractors were more like the team of Java Electric Ltd. Bravo, team Java Electric for a Job well-done . Thank-you for making my family's home a safer place to live.

    Changing aluminum wiring to copper wiring and interior/exterior potlights

    I chose this company based on all the terrific reviews on this site. Their professional work lived up to my expectation. They were always on time, courteous, and explained everything they were doing to myself and family. They changed upgraded all the household electrical wiring and installed surge protectors at the main box. Also, they installed interior/exterior potlights throughout the house and they look beautiful. I am very satisfied with their work. They went above and beyond to help install my new chandelier. Great job JAVA Electric!

    Service & Panel Upgrade, Interior & Exterior Potlights

    Antonio and his crew spent about a week at our home upgrading our electrical service from 100 to 200 amp, upgrading the electrical panel and installing over 65 potlights both inside and outside our home. I was so impressed by the quality of the workmanship of Antonio's crew. They were extremely friendly and took the time to explain every detail. Antonio and his crew was also very accommodating with my changes and always went above and beyond my expectations. Its very rare to find good contractors that have pride in their work that don't settle for anything less that 100%. Thank you Antonio for making our home look beautiful. I really appreciate you working through the holiday season to get the work done on time and on budget. I will be calling on your for our basement renovation project :-)

    Electrical Updating

    I reached out to the top 5 electrician's on Home Stars and Pavlo at Java Electric was the first to call back. After having him over for an estimate we were more that sure that he knew exactly what he was talking about. Upon receiving a quote a 3rd cheaper than all the other quotes we had received, we hired him immediately! Pavlo and his colleague came to our home on time and did a FANTASTIC job. We needed to have 2 double tap's corrected (by installing new wiring and a new sub panel), a new plug installed for a refrigerator, and 2 GCFI's installed. Everything was completed in an efficient and timely manor in spite of a few surprises which were left behind by the previous owner of our home. We were so impressed that we will definitely have them come back to remove our KNT. We highly recommend Java Electric to anyone that needs electrical work as this was an extremely stress free experience. Keep up the good work Pavlo and co. and we look forward to working with you again!

    Increasing AMP for our new pool and basement rennovations

    Moving into our dream came with a few additional rennovations. We completed a full rennovation to the basement put in a pool, interior decorating etc. With the pool and hot tub the existing AMP power was not suitable and we called Antonio and his company JAVA to come increase the power. Saying that Antonio and his crew where perfect is not enough. Antonio and Team are knowledgable, professional, thorough, and they never stopped working until the job was done. When Anotnio said he would return he arrived on time. I will recommend Antonio to anyone who needs a good Electrician. It is not a wonder why he is so busy, he is the best!

    Answer from pro:

    We try and do the best for all our customers. All of us wish you the very best and may you create many wonderful memories in your 'dream home'! Take care. Java Electric Ltd.

    Installation of Pot Lights , circuits, chandeliers

    Antonio and his crew at Java electric once again did an outstanding job and exceeded our expectations. This is the fourth time we have used Java electric. We recently moved into a new home, my wife, being an interior designer, wanted multiple improvements including pot lights, dimmer switches on separate and dedicated lines, closet lights, and chandeliers.All required new circuitry/wiring. We were told by others that some of our requests couldn't be done. Every time my wife made a request, Antonio's response was "no problem". They were amazing at fishing wires and doing impeccable work. When they arrived the first thing they did was completely cover all of our hardwood floors and furniture in the work area, they swept up even during the installations , and when they left , our home was pristine. We think their new slogan should be "NO PROBLEM, JUST SOLUTIONS". We would recommend Antonio and his crew of professionals to anyone requiring electrical work

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you very much for your outstanding review Paul, it is greatly appreciated. And I can say, that the slogan is definitely very appealing. All the best to the both of you and we hope you enjoy your new home. Java Electric Ltd.
