I have now used Jaffe Electric on two projects. First, I had them come out and add a 50 amp circuit for a hot tub. They needed to run the new circuit through a finished basement. They came out, looked for the best path and executed. There was no cutting of holes they ran the whole circuit by carefully running through available spaces. They also consulted on where to place the required disconnect so that everything worked out perfectly. They understood what was needed and understood the electrical codes. Which I can say was not the case for others I called. I have since used them for adding of outlets and ceiling lights in a condo. Again, they consulted ahead of time and the installation was done with minimal disruption. In this case we were going to be repainting so a couple of holes were easily taken care of. I also used them in the planning of a new garage and new service. They came out and provided advice that would save me thousands. It turned out that my general contractor was suggesting a strategy that shifted the cost from the electric company to "me". I don't know if they did not understand or if they were just trying to make more $$ for their preferred electrician. Regardless, Jaffe seems to be trust worthy and have become my go to electrician. read more

Very responsive and do high quality work at very reasonable prices. Crew arrived at the scheduled time. Highly recommend

Very professional operation. We had a minor emergency and I called on a Monday morning at 7:45 hoping to leave a message. I was surprised that a live person got on and when I asked if he could get someone out to my house he said he could today between 10 and noon. Two gentlemen came, at the appointed time; Antonio and Eddie. They could not have been nicer or more professional. They quickly found the problem fixed that and adjusted a couple of additional outlets just because they needed it, (not that I had to even ask them to). All is back in working order, Quick, easy and painless....other than having to write a check but I guess there's no way around that.:) I highly recommend. read more

I had a great experience with Jaffe Electric. Their staff were punctual, easy to communicate with, and helpful with ideas about my home improvement project. They provided me with a detailed, reasonably priced quote. I would recommend them! read more

Recently had Steve Jaffe and his team do a job for me regarding a light fixture install. I installed a new fixture (flourescent) and I was popping the circuit breaker constantly. I knew I installed the fixture correctly, it was new and I was pretty sure that I didn't create a short. Called Steve and he said it was likely the breaker as some have problems with flourescent fixtures. Had one of his guys swing by and replace. He was right! read more

I called and was able to schedule an appointment the next day. Antonio came out and checked a connection and replaced a disk light. He was very nice and professional. I was relieved when he told me the charge! I felt it was very fair. read more

Jaffe Electric is a no nonsense company. We wanted to install an attic fan for our house. Every electrician or roof company we called, they wanted to come first to give a quote. Jaffe Electric did not need any of that. They gave me a standard quote of when I called, which was the cheapest among all the other quotes I have received. To be honest, I was concerned with how cheap it was. I set up the appointment regardless. They came as scheduled, installed the attic fan with no hassle whatsoever. The attic fan works like a charm. We were very pleased with the work product. They cleaned up their work too! I am glad there are still honest electrician out there! Bravo, Jaffe Electric. Keep it up! read more

We contacted Jaffe to get a quote for landscape lighting. The first thing they did was send out an estimator, who walked around my house with me to discuss options and make recommendations. He carefully explained to me why he would recommend some options but not others, and even explained why I probably didn't need some things that I thought I needed. We decided on a plan. When I received the quote from Jaffe, it was far more reasonable than other quotes I had gotten. A few days later, John and Kevin came out to perform the work. Not only did they do an excellent and thorough job, but they kept me informed the whole time and even fixed some things that had been done badly by previous electricians (replacing wiring in the attic and several receptacles). And the landscape lighting looks absolutely beautiful. Whether you're looking for a big project like landscape lighting or something much smaller, you can't go wrong with Jaffe. read more

I called Jaffe electric on the recommendation of my HVAC company to do work related to an HVAC install. My apartment is in downtown DC, as is readily apparent from my address. They cancelled the first appointment to come out to give an estimate due to protest traffic and rescheduled for 2 WEEKS LATER. On the day of the second appointment, they called from the alley and asked if the building had dedicated parking. When they were told it does not, they said they would be unable to do the job. Thank you for wasting 2+ weeks of my time. Guys, here's a recommendation: if you don't want to work in DC, don't advertise it as your service area. read more

They were not able to diagnose the electrical problem, much less fix it. Charge for showing up: $400. Go elsewhere if you value results.

I needed an electrician when having my bathroom and kitchens remodeled. I came across Jaffe Electric and glad I did. They were knowledgeable and had great suggestions on how to best wire the rooms. They were fast and I was happy with the price. read more

Great experience. We needed our smoke detectors to be replaced and finally decided to call someone to take care of it. When I called another company in the area, I spoke to a sales rep who was very friendly but unable to answer my questions, to the point of being comical. When I called Jaffe Electric, the line was answered by Steve Jaffe both times I called. He was clear and answered my questions helpfully and was knowledgeable about updated guidelines. He immediately scheduled us for an appointment the next morning. The next day (i.e. this morning) Derrell (sp?) was early for the appointment, friendly, clearly knew what he was doing, and took care of all the installations efficiently. I'm sure it's cheaper to do it yourself but we're very glad we had experts come and take care of it for us. Very glad we called Jaffe and I will definitely be recommending them. read more

I am fairly new to the area, and researched several companies before reaching out to Jaffe Electric. They had great reviews online, and gave me a very reasonable quote. The electrician, Darin, was extremely knowledgeable and installed a new electric box panel for my home. I am very satisfied with my experience and would highly recommend utilizing this company for any electrical need that you may have. read more

I submitted a request for an estimate for a chandelier installation and was told by the owner Steve Jaffe that my home is outside of the company's service area. My home is located in Maryland, 5 minutes from the DC border, and 20 minutes from Alexandria, Virginia. This company advertises that it services Maryland, DC, and Virginia, so I am a bit confused as to how my home is not within the service area. Perhaps it is because my home is located in Prince George's County? If so, the owner should clarify on his website that his company services Maryland, DC, and Virginia, with the exception of Prince George's County. read more

Highly recommended highly disappointed. First time in 83 years to have journeymen diagnose a simple problem, not fix and charge $185 and want an extra 3% to use credit card. Did agree to accept mailed check if I sent immediately. Since was a holiday not mailed til next day. They confirmed my Suspicion of faulty socket in hallway pendant light, and said required special socket which they did not have and when I got one would be happy to install for another $185. Too bad I did not have the courage to tackle before calling. Didn't tell my offspring, mounted the ladder Un screwed a ring to let the cap drop, placed small pieces of black tape on supply and receiving power wires disconnected wires and unscrewed fixture and took to Strosniders, Potomac. For Less than $5 replaced with very ordinary socket, tested successfully and no charge for Neil's labor and big smile. Strosniders is always helpful with big smiles. No sweat reconnecting. Despite all of their five stars will not ever call again. read more

Steve Jaffe and his folks are amazing. AMAZING. They are honest, easy to work with, and will get the job done at a great price. I will use them every time I need an electrician. They did a major repair on my property (new panel, service entry cable, etc.) and were ridiculously efficient at getting the job done. read more

I would not recommend. Here is my story. I called them to get an estimate on installing an electric dryer. The technicians were friendly and arrived within the timeframe. The estimate for the work involved re-wiring the electrical connection, and the estimate was too high for me (I could use the existing gas connection on a gas dryer). I then told them I would agree to the work if they reduced the price from $678 to $600 (which was my cut-off from going from electric to gas dryer). I even brought up the fact that they have a coupon on their website that states: "10% OFF SERVICE CALL! Receive 10% OFF SERVICE for jobs over $300. This offer is not valid with other discounts and does not include parts." This would put the discount at $68 which was close to my request of a reduction of $78. The manager would not honor the stated discount. Why? He said the coupon applies to the service call fee. This makes no sense to me if the service call fee for one person is $150, and for two people it is $185. What irks me the most is that the manager/owner would lose a $600 gain for not honoring their own coupon. Says a lot about the company. read more
