We purchased a house in July and had a ton of contractors come in and do work. David was one of the best contractors we worked with. He installed recessed lighting in two living rooms, our kitchen, and three bedrooms. He was on time, finished all the work when he said he was going to, and didn't complain about all the other contractors working in the house at the same time. He took lots of time to walk us through how everything was going to work, and even put stickers on the ceiling so we could see where all the lights were going to go. Everything working exactly as described, no call backs. Later on we had him install some additional outlets in the kitchen. He was able to do the work quickly before work on the backsplash started. Again, no issues. We recently had him install an outdoor outlet for christmas lights. Once we saw it installed we were not happy about the placement we had originally agreed on, so David moved it to the other side of the house for no additional charge. Very reasonable prices, and very knowledgable. read more

From the beginning to the end, David was prompt, knowledgeable, and courteous. He was willing to come take a look at my electrical problem before he quoted me. You think this should be the norm right? Nope, other electricians I called, insisted on charging for the visit even to provide a quote. I guess I could understand since it would be a big waste of time (and time = $$) if I decided not to go with them. Anyway, my issue was a power outage in the bathroom outlet. Well, David spent well over an hour inspecting my house to make sure the outage did not extend beyond my bathroom. It turned out I had two outlets with the same issue. After a few hours of deciding if I should get the issue fixed now or later I decided what the heck. The next day (yes, he's that prompt and on time), David spent about four hours fixing the issue including making a Home Depot run to make sure I had the appropriate cover for the outlet in the bathroom (it was a safety precaution he wanted me to take seriously)...and the material was at no additional cost to the original quote he provided. Awesome! Thanks to David, I now can use the bathroom outlet to plug in my hair dryer...I should have called David five years ago. LOL. read more

I'm very happy with the work they did. I was trying to get the outlets done over the weekend and they could accommodate me in a short notice. David and his assistant came on time, gave me an estimate that was reasonable. I have had extra work that needed to happen and they could do it on the same day. The work was immaculate. All the gluing and taping the wire connections were perfect. I had some issues with a pipe that went through the line. David explained how we can reduce the work by not going around it, even though it was gonna reduce his cost. I am really happy about the work and I would hire him again in a heartbeat read more

David was very upfront with the cost. And told us no matter how long it took to fix, there would be no additional charges. Because several lights were out upstairs and downstairs. I had no idea where the problem was. So David had to check every light fixtures and outlet in my house. He was very through and finally found the issue. Also he fixed and cleaned up the wiring of my fuse box at no additional charge. Excellent service and very honest. read more

Fantastic, highly recommended. We bought a home and needed work to remove live wires, add outlets, replace outlets, add exterior outlets and lights, etc, etc, etc. David came and was absolutely fantastic. On time, professional, very reasonably priced, and a very pleasant and friendly person all around. Thank you David for the fantastic work you did to make our home safer and user friendly. We really appreciate your professionalism and generosity. If you are looking for high quality, professional, and reasonably priced electrical work, look no further. read more

Just installed my brand new washer and dryer to find out that my dryer outlet was not working. I called Electrical Residential Services for help. David responded immediately and fixed the problem in no time on the same day. Quick and courteous service, fair price. Will definitely use his services again, if needed. read more

We needed a repair of several outlets and light-switches. David arrived on time and was polite and helpful. The work was done promptly and his rates were straightforward and fair, as opposed to another electrical group that seemed to be trying to get most out of the job as they could. We will definitely turn to JR Electric again for another job. read more

We had David install recess lighting in our new living room with a dimmer switch and move a light switch around which took half a day. From the start, he was very easy to work with. On the day, he was punctual, very detailed and took his time to make sure the job was done right. He made sure I understood everything he was doing as well. Definitely keeping his number for future electrical jobs. read more

My husband and I highly recommend David Garcia and his son!! It can be very challenging to find an electrician last minute. Of course we turned to Yelp and saw that David Garcia had a very high rating. We were not disappointed!! After speaking to my husband, David gave a time frame and was right on time. He put on shoe covers as a courtesy that we greatly appreciated. (He wasn't asked to do this, its just part of the exemplary service he provides.) After spending a good 30 minutes he was unable to find any problems. Of course our lights worked perfectly once he showed up. He was very thorough and left us feeling good with his very thorough detective work. He checked and tested everything. He then refused any payment, even though he spent time traveling to our residence and spent an additional 30 + minutes going through everything. A very happy customer. read more

Very happy w their service. Price is reasonable. On time and professional. David is nice. Provides fair opinions. Took 4 days to finish a long project, more then what we expected but it was OK. Very happy with the results. Thank you David. We will absolutely use this company again. read more

JR Electric - One of many projects - Electricians Near Me

Kitchen renovation sucks! But it's harder when you have an uncle who thinks he is an expert electrician because he was "youtube' trained in the art. We called David on the day before sheetrock was supposed to be put in for an additional outlet. Thank goodness he took a glance at the rest of our wiring and told us we had some issues we had to fix before sheetrock. We didn't even know the wire to our oven was bad -- I guess when you hear a pop, fizzle, sizzle, you should think "ut oh." David and his co-worker worked hard and late to get it done before sheetrock which I truly appreciate. David is honest, responsive, and he even replies via text messaging - how cool is that? We will be calling him back for further electric work! read more

I highly recommend this company. David and his crew did a great job rewiring my sub-panel that controls the pool equipment. They worked all day last Sunday until after dark outside in the cold to get it done. My Pool maintenance guy was thoroughly impressed and asked for their contact info. David is very responsive and makes sure the job is done correctly. I think their prices were very reasonable. The issue I had was that the 30 yr. old underground conduit connecting the main to the sub deteriorated and collapsed destroying the wiring. David's team did a great job to replace it without having to deal with underground conduit and concrete. read more

We recently got a new dryer but it didn't work. David and Sergio helped us a lot. They helped us identify the root cause and replaced the wires. Cleaned everything. They really did an awesome job. Definitely we'll recommend them to all my friends! read more

WOW! David took my call and was at my house in 15 minutes. My dryer didn't work and the outlet where the koi pond pump plugs in was charred. He was great at telling me electrical at the dryer site was fine that it was the dryer itself that was faulty. A new GFI and cover was replaced at the koi pond. He understood that without the air pump & waterfalls that there's no oxygen in the water and the fish would have died. He's an animal lover in addition to a great electrician. David & his team are extraordinary. He's straightforward, prompt, professional. He's THE BEST!! read more

JR Electric and Sergio were fantastic. Their quote was a bit lower than the rest. Communication was excellent. And their work was well-performed, and they even gave me advice on a few unrelated items. I will definitely be hiring them to do more work, soon. read more

I had an old junky fuse box from the 1950's on my house. My former neighbor told me he knew a guy who could take care of upgrading me to a modern breaker unit. David arrived on time and got the job done while I was at work. I came home to working power and a new panel. David took the time to show me everything and I am so happy with the results! David is on time, easy to talk to, professional and trustworthy. In the upcoming year, I will have him install some outdoor lighting, upgrading my indoor wiring / sockets and any other electrical needs I might have. Recommended!!!! read more

David is definitely a great value and awesome resource. Needed several ceiling fans installed, and to troubleshoot some closet lights. The quality and pricing was outstanding. Each time, I have needed any electrical work, he is prompt to come out, and provide an estimate. The prices that I have received have been very competitive. Due to his kind nature, quality of his work, and the excellent pricing- I plan to use David for other electrical projects in the near future. read more

David & Team are now my default go-to electrician for any future issue. I hired them based on Yelp reviews alone, and now here I am, adding a 5-star yelp review of my own, which I don't do very often. He came over with his team of two guys to tackle a sauna install. They were all kind, professional, DETAIL ORIENTED, had high standards, and cut no corners with my project (Sauna/outdoor panel/disconnect hookups). Also, their price was spot-on, given the number of man-hours involved. As an experienced multi-home owner (having been burned plenty of times before), I typically watch over contractors LIKE A HAWK to address issues, mistakes, and shortcuts as they happen, and to ensure my standards are met. These guys, however, worked at a controlled, certain, and safe pace. I literally had nothing to stress about, it was a pleasant experience and they delivered 10/10. The end result absolutely exceeded my expectations and I have complete trust in the durability of their work. Every crimp, tape, & screw received attention, and his team vacuumed the work site afterwards. David built himself a solid reputation/company, and I wish these guys continued success. Will do whatever I can to spread the word and make referrals. read more

We hired David to install low voltage lighting in the backyard. He ran a main line down from the breaker box to a low voltage transformer where all the lights are connected. All the electrical connectivity is very well done. David is honest and reasonable. He backs up his work with good customer service. After all the lights were installed, we decided that we would like to add one more. David said he would drop by and install the light for us at no extra charge. He also works with you to make sure you are happy with the light placement. We are happy with our new backyard lights. We'll definitely use David again. read more

This review should have been written a long time ago. When my husband and I first moved into our house over four years ago one of the first things we wanted done was ceiling fans through out the house and recessed lighting instead of the 70s style hanging lights. We had been dealing with contractors on different projects and David was a breathe of fresh air. He returned phone calls and messages in a timely manner, he showed up when he said he would, and his work was always great. We have dealt with so many flakey contractors over the years that I am so grateful for David. In addition we have had him come out several other times over the years to help on other projects and he has always been just as reliable. I will always contact him if I need an electrician and I would definitely recommend him. read more

I've had David and his son compete two jobs for me. One was a big job. I hired him to install garden lights both in front and in back of my house. The second time I hired him to install a large ceiling fan in our family room.. And, when I recently had a problem with one of my garden lights, they came out and fixed it at no charge. I can't say enough good things about David, his son and their work. The work was impeccable. There were completely reliable and a pleasure to work with. David's prices are reasonable. I'm so glad we found him. It is great knowing that I have a reliable and fair electrician that I can count on. P.S. I referred David and his son to a friend who was equally impressed.. read more

I had a 9am appointment with David and I received a text message at 9:30 stating that he would be at my home between 10 and 10:30 after working a 24-hour long shift and coming home staying up waiting for this appointment and then to get a text notification 30 minutes after my appointment that he going be an hour late I think this is disrespectful and no respect for time management... I would not deal with this company!!! I don't understand how they have good reviews please read all of their reviews before you select them... read more

Wish I could give them 6 stars! They did great work installing a car charger in my garage. While they were putting it in, they discovered a significant safety issue with another part of the house from another electrician. They fixed it a no charge. We could easily have had a fire. Well done! read more

I am very handy and can recognize a good handyman from a great handyman. David & Sergio fit the latter. Beginning with placing pads everywhere they would walk on to their attention to details such as packing the wires neatly inside the enclosure. They pulled a new line for a new ceiling fan in my home and worked great together, being very friendly and communicative. I really enjoyed watching them work. They are first on my list the next time I need an electrician. read more

This review is for a visit David and his son made to our house last year, and we were so pleased I told him I'd write a review...but I put it on the back burner and forgot about it. So even though it's a bit late, I owe him this review. David and his son came to our house last year when we lost power to several outlets in the house. I knew it was a loose or shorted neutral, but I just couldn't find it. With an old home, it's difficult to tell where the wiring is running. However David and his son spend whatever time was needed and went through all my junction boxes until they found and fixed the problem. In terms of how they carried themselves, they were both very respectful and genuinely caring. I just can't say enough positive things about them. I highly recommend them and will use them again for my future electrical needs. read more

David and his crew were great. Used them to upgrade service from 100A to 200A. They worked tirelessly in the pouring rain to get the job done. Communication was always prompt. Pricing was excellent. Would definitely use them again. read more

David and his crew are very responsive, prompt, and efficient. I have hured them for many electrical projects in my house, and they always do a perfect job. read more

We recently hired JR Electric to install LED light fixtures in our garage and bathroom and to remove the existing fixtures. We were very pleased with the job that David and his team did for us. They arrived on time and took care to put on masks and shoe covers when inside the house. They completed the job on time for a very reasonable price and made sure that our house was clean before they left. We would hire them again. read more

JR Electric completely rewired a house we remodeled in South San Jose and they did a great job. As issues came up, David and the rest of the crew were reasonable and they stood behind their work, even coming back well after the final payment was issued to fix a few minor items. If you are looking for an electrical contractor in the San Jose area who does quality work at a fair price, don't look any further than JR Electric! read more

I called for an appointment. We agreed on a time. He said to text him my address. I texted him in the afternoon, and he said I was supposed to text him right after our call. He did not make this clear. He than texted me the name of another electrician but no contact information. We agreed upon a time, he should not have given my appointment away or made himself more clear when we spoke that he needed it right away. When I asked him for another appointment he did not even try to accommodate, he just gave me the name of another electrician, but no contact info. For all of the great reviews I would have expected better service. read more

I would absolutely recommend David and his crew. We initially contacted them because of their positive Yelp reviews and were not disappointed. David came in person to evaluate our space and give a reliable quote, he was very responsive, and he was flexible with our scheduling. He booked us for two days but he and his crew worked from 8:30-5:30 and finished our job in just one day with very minimal damage to our drywall and hardly any mess in our house. They installed 10 recessed lights (4 of which required removing an old wooden light box first) and 2 pendants and also swapped in a new chandelier. I found David and his crew to be extremely professional -- prepared, fast, considerate, friendly, and not trying to oversell us. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who needs help with their lighting projects. Thank you, David! read more

I encountered a tricky problem in master bed room electric outlets, and need to hire a competent electrician to fix it. Looking through internet, one comment caught my eyes. The author wrote that when he called an electrician to make an appointment, the electrician guided him to resolve the problem through phone for free. I decided to use this electrician, David of JR Electric to do my work. Since his schedule was full, the appointment had to be a week later. It was worth the waiting. I already know he is good from other customers' feedback, still my experience of his work has been above my expectations. First, he identified the outlet that caused the problem and fixed it effectively. He not only fixed the problem, but also made the bedroom switch more convenient to use.  He also checked other outlets in the bed room to make sure they are fine.  He is really care for customers. read more

I contacted JR Electric after another electrician tried to hook up my hot tub unsuccessfully. John came to the rescue and corrected all of the mistakes the previous electrician made. My hot tub is working great and most importantly, is safe to use. John was very honest and fairly priced. I highly recommend JR Electric. read more

JR Electric repaired a kitchen outlet for us a year ago. It recently stopped working, and I contacted them, and they came out right away. They fixed the problem efficiently with no charge. They are good at what they do and good to work with. I highly recommend them. read more

We had an outlet that started smoking. They came out and fixed it on the same day for a reasonable fee. I recommend them highly.

I have had JR electric over to my own home to install recessed lights. I am a realtor and I use many electricians over the years. I have found JR electric to be competent, competitive price, and extremely lovely to deal with. When people are in your home it's important that they are honest, pleasant, clean, and polite. I would not hesitate to highly recommend this company. read more

My father is an owner of a construction company and his employee have been booked and I had to install 16 recessed LED lights, upgrade an additional 6 plus convert light switches within the house. David was vey professional and had a quote back to me within hours. Showed up on time and explained the process and even went material shopping with me. Him and his team did a great job and had the job completed within a day and a half. We are going to use him again for our bathroom re model! read more

Called David on Sunday morning due to a power surge the night before that knocked out power to 2 rooms. David came by within 2 hours and started troubleshooting. He had another job going and asked if he could come back on Monday with one of his employees to work on the issue. He came back today and spent about 5 hours going through all the outlets and light switches looking for the issue, he found it and fixed it! He also gave us some recommendations for our wiring which we will do by calling him! Honest, hardworking and very personable. read more

Needed an electrician for a wiring / short problem in the house, where the breaker would not re-set. Checked here on "Yelp" and found all the positive reviews on David from "Electrical Residential Services" so decided to give him a try based on the reviews. Was not disappointed at all, Called and booked an appointment for the same day, and received a call a couple of hours later that David and his team were on their way earlier then scheduled, which was a pleasant surprise. When David arrived explained and showed the room with the issue, and David begin to trouble shoot the problem, they found the issue within about 15 minutes (short in the wire between the wall switch and outlet.) After finding the issue, asked if they would look at another electrical problem that i had with a switch and outlet. Again they begin to trouble shoot and found the issue within about 10 minutes (broken connector on Wall switch) which they repaired. After making the repairs and testing everything, David walked me around to each wall switch and outlet and had me watch while he tested them to show that they worked. They were very courteous, friendly, professional, and knowledgeable, they answered several questions that i had during their trouble shooting. The estimate / rate was very fair and less then what i had expected based on previous Electrical work. David also didn't charge me for the second fix / repair, but only charged the original rate / estimate. Would highly recommend to anyone if needing a Electrician to give David a call, do not think you would be disappointed. read more

I contacted David in the morning, explained the issue with the electrical in the master suite addition we did about 2 years ago, and showed up the same afternoon and fixed the problem. He explained everything, and was very clear with possible options, depending on what would be discovered when everything is checked. He and Sergio were in and out in about 30 minutes, saving us the frustration of living in the dark because of a faulty breaker. Will definitely use him again in future projects. read more
