James and his wife Tammy were so nice and professional. James and his helper replaced my electrical panel. I felt safe enough to let them come in without me being home. James even changed a lightbulb for me when he noticed it was out. I loved working with them and will definitely hire them again. read more

So I had another positive experience with Tammy at James Electric. Some of our outlets in the kitchen were out after a power outage. I called James and Electric and Tammy had me send a picture of our electric box and she figured out what the problem was and told me what to do. No charge to us. Thank you, Tammy read more

Highly Professional, Kind, and Worth Every Penny I had an absolutely wonderful experience with James Electric, and I can't recommend them highly enough. From the very first phone call, Tammy made me feel confident in their company. She really listens, follows through on her word, and made scheduling easy--no long waits, no stress. When the electricians arrived, they were professional, respectful, and explained everything clearly. I was having a new electrical panel installed and moved from a closet to the outside of the house. Not only was the work done to code, but it was also done with care. I appreciated being given clear options and honest recommendations throughout the process. Jakob was incredibly kind and easy to talk to--he made sure I understood what was happening every step of the way. I was so impressed with the first job that I asked them to come back for additional work. James himself came for the second visit, and he was just as thoughtful and skilled. Bonus: he's an animal lover, which meant a lot to me because my dogs were barking like crazy, and he was so sweet and patient with them. Their pricing was more than fair--especially considering the quality of service and peace of mind they delivered. I had a really bad experience with a different electrician in the past, and working with James Electric was night and day in comparison. This is a company that not only knows what they're doing but also cares about their customers. I'll absolutely be using them again in the future. read more

Since moving to Santa Rosa in late 2022, we have used James Electric for numerous projects at our home, including installation of an EV charger, a full relamping of our home to convert to LED, ceiling fan and spotlight installations, electrical service and panel upgrades and the installation of a backup generator. We have been thoroughly pleased with their work and particularly appreciate their responsiveness and communication. James himself has been onsite for much of the work. He and his field team of Jakob, Kyle and Brian have all been prompt, professional and courteous, and Genevieve and Tammy in the office have been a joy to work with. We highly recommend James and his team for any electrical service needs. read more

This was our second job with James Electric. As with the first, we are extremely happy with their work. Their electricians and their office staff are wonderful; highly professional and very easy to work with. Highly recommended! read more

I called James Electric to do a troubleshoot for some outlets that weren't working in our kitchen. He took the time to explain the problem and why it had occurred. He was very professional, fit us into his schedule quickly and his prices are very reasonable. read more

I had the best experience with a contractor that I have ever had. I hired James Electric to replace my old electrical panel. Every step of the way, James, Tammy (his wife that is his office manager and a miracle worker) and their team were incredible. They were extremely professional, perfectionists, communicators, timely and very personable. Their hard work ethic is one that everyone should experience. The project was a very difficult one because we had to install the new panel away from the gas meter in accordance with new PG&E regulations. Trenching had to be completed before new conduit and lines were installed. I was able to see how they worked throughout the entire process to a successful end. If anyone needs a fabulous electrician, James Electric would be that company. They are a local family-owned business. Thank you, James Electric team. PS: If I could give them a "10 star" rating, I would have done so. read more

James Electric is an honest and helpful business. We had an issue with one of our sub-panels and couldn't get any electricity to our furnace, A/C, washer and two bathrooms - meaning no A/C during the hottest week this year, no hot showers or clean clothes. After reading a number of positive reviews for James Electric, we gave them a call and told them about our situation. Rather than immediately schedule an appointment, Tammy took the time to troubleshoot the issue over the phone to see if she could save us some money. After sending some photos of the electrical panel, she immediately spotted the issue and guided us step-by-step on how to reset it - saving us hundreds of dollars. If the customer service is any indication of the work they do, I know you'll be in good hands with James Electric. read more

DANG!! there is nothing more nerve-racking than lights flickering in your home. no, correction..there is. what's worse is when HALF of your lights/plugs flicker and go pffft! and go off. this is what happened at my house. i speculated about the problem, checked some breakers, and was flummoxed. we did the first thing that made sense. we called PG&E and they showed up quickly. they poked around and said, "nope, the problem is in your house somewhere". we quickly called James Electric and they promptly called us back and put us on the schedule a few days later. James (bossman) shows up on time, and him and another electrician walked directly to the problem. it was the Meter-box. worse case scenario. there are major hurdles to getting this work done. potential new trenches need to be done, permits, etc. my neighbors graciously all said i could run cords from their home to my important stuff, but it wasnt needed. James Electric did a quick repair so we could put it into limp mode while they secure the permits. they assured us, we were safe. James has been around so long, and they have such a positive reputation, they found PG&E very cooperative. we secure permits in record time, cleared hurdles and 2 days later, my power was shut down, and James Electric went to work!!! when done, a simple phone call to PG&E, they show up, reconnect the service and my home came back to life. Money spent was on super tidy work, fast work, skilled work..and their ability to work so well with the utility. my friend was shocked. in Walnut creek, he was running on neighbors power for over a month!! James Electrical also installed our car charger several months ago, so we were familiar with their level of work and attention to detail. things are straight and plumb. and permitted. i plan on AC and a new Electrical stove at my home soon. James planned ahead and our new electrical meter panel is ready for future upgrades. thanks JE!! thanks. you all did great. read more

James is great! Twenty+ years ago, he did a ton of electrical work at my house during a massive remodel. He also installed in wall speakers and ran the wires under my very low crawl space. His work was perfect. This year I decided that I needed a smart thermostat and some upgrades to my lighting system. Also needed some clean up work involving long abandoned cables outside. James did it all, at a fair price, and with service with a smile. Based on my experience with James over the past 20 years I give him my strongest recommendation. read more

After getting 4 quotes, James came in not the cheapest and not the most expensive. He was friendly, polite and very pleasant when he came to assess the job at our home. His estimate was within 24 hours. His job order was in 24 hours after we confirmed the job. His men, Adam and Jacob, came this morning and were wonderful. Clean, respectful, friendly and did a perfect job. Everything was installed to my satisfaction (not an east task) and my home was immaculate when they left. Would recommend these guys highly. We plan to use them for an upcoming remodel. read more

We were very pleased with Jacob's punctuality, attentiveness, cleanliness, and efficiency. Rats had gnawed through wires and he made a sensible/safe repair. We will be calling upon James Electric for any future needs. read more

We cannot say enough about the high quality of work and customer service provided to us by James Electric.

I'm a former contractor so when I hire someone to work on my house I expect exceptional service. That is exactly what I received when I hired James Electric. James himself came out to give me a bid on a car charger installation. His bid was right in the middle of previous bids so he got the job. His crew showed on the agreed date and on time. They were clean, polite and very professional. Everything I would expect from a company working on my house. Once the job was completed they had the place so clean it was like they were never there. Perfect service. read more

As a Realtor, I get the pleasure of working with many different service providers and recommend them to my clients. James, the owner and his team led by Chris are cheerful, knowledgeable, responsive and most importantly speak frankly about the job at hand. I trust the advice given by this company. If it's serious, they will tell me and if it isn't they will tell me. They are more concerned about accurate advice that helps a client than their bottom line. Without hesitation, I highly recommend James Electric. read more

Hi, I used James Electric to install the 220v wiring, subpanel for a hot tub which is in my backyard. They completed the work on time, despite issues with my trench not quite being straight enough. At first the tub was working, but then it stopped. I was worried that water may have gotten into the electrical parts of the tub after my dad accidently overflowed it while the access panel was open. I notified James Electric and they came out and for free replaced a GFCI breaker which was the culprit. Since then no problems, and it has been about 2 years. read more
