James did a project for me at a rental property in Cupertino and was timely, good communication and honest. Price was really fair and based on the work and time it took to complete the project. Really happy with the results. read more

Highly recommend hiring James and his team for your electrical project! We had them install an outlet for an EV charger in our garage, and they were responsive, honest, and I felt like they offered a fair price compared to other people in the area. They left the area clean after working on it and I was pleased with the look of the outlet. Communicative, friendly, and did the job well. No complaints! read more

4.5 Called the company to fix around six outlets that were not working. They came out on time and completed the work accordingly. They also cleaned up the excess wires and garbage left on the floor and even double checked it at the end. The price was fair and i will be using them to replace my main panel. read more

I highly recommend JCM Electric! The business owner was VERY prompt in communication and I was able to schedule something the very next morning after reaching out on New Year's Day. The technician Lukas was professional, took his time explaining what he was going to do, made sure I was informed every step of the way, and he was great to deal with. Value wise, JCM offered a very fair price compared to other quotes I had. I'll definitely do business again with them. read more

JCM Electric - Fully installed in under 1.5 hours! - Electricians Near Me - Los Gatos, California

James went above and beyond. He was early, communicative, and took pride in his work. Everything was done perfectly and at a fair price. I couldn't recommend him more! read more

Great service. Used them recently to install an Outdoor Sauna. Everything went perfectly well and they went over and beyond by helping with a usability issue afterwards Very knowledgeable and highly recommended read more

James, the owner, did a great job. Pricing was good, knew his stuff and even helped with double checking things I did - which was good because I replaced an outlet upside down, for example. Easy to communicate with and will definitely be reaching out again to get help with future projects. I'll be recommending them to anyone I know in the area who is in need of an electrician. read more

James was very helpful - we had our patio crash down and he came immediately and made sure the house was safe. Highly recommended

Wow, nothing but great things to say. Two situations James and the crew got us out of a pinch. Super knowledgeable, super super friendly, very ready to help and very professional. I would highly recommend them. They did a few smaller projects for us, but also handle really large scale projects and will definitely higher them for the next one. Also, just as a note, they were very helpful in fixing an issue. We were having with a floor heating system for an electric floor heater. This was the Warmup electric floor heating system. But also Schluter has a floor heating system along with others. These guys were very comfortable with the floor heating system and how to troubleshoot. Thanks to these guys! read more

JCM Electric - Items they were able to install for us last minute. - Electricians Near Me - Los Gatos, California

See all

The work was completed, but the overall experience was very disappointing. We had agreed on an hourly rate, but the final invoice included nearly $300 for a few electrical boxes and wires, without any itemized breakdown when I asked for one. The workmanship was not of a high standard. Dust and debris were left behind, and there was some damage left after the job. In addition, the contractor suggested an alternative solution that was supposed to save me time and money. I agreed to try this option and accepted the related hourly charges, including the time for the Home Depot trips (almost an extra hour). However, the solution did not work for my needs, and we had to revert to the original plan that I hired them for in the first place, meaning extra time and cost without any real benefit. My main concern, and the reason for the confrontation, was the nearly $300 in material costs. I repeatedly asked for a breakdown of these charges, which I think is a very reasonable request, but was told that their policy is to lump all materials into a single line item without detail. While I understand the intent to keep things simple, I don't believe this approach is truly transparent, especially when the materials included only a few electrical boxes, wires, and fixtures. I made several attempts to resolve the disagreement on good terms, and even mentioned that I would prefer to settle the matter without needing to leave a negative review as an honest effort to close things fairly and avoid escalation. I was surprised to later be accused of being abusive or threatening, as nothing in my messages reflected that. Instead, I was eventually met with late fee demands and the threat of legal action, including filing a mechanic's lien against my property, over just a few hundred dollars. For such a small disputed amount, I was surprised the situation escalated this far and so quickly (not even 24 hours after the work was completed) instead of being resolved with a simple conversation. In fairness, they did reduce the billed labor hours and applied a small discount there, which I appreciated. However, the larger disagreement about material costs remained unresolved. Combined with the lack of clarity, the poor cleanup, and the escalation to legal threats, the overall experience was still stressful. In the end, I paid the full invoice to close the matter, but I would caution others to ensure all terms, hourly rates, and especially material costs are documented clearly in advance before working with them. read more

Person was great, worked to make sure to keep costs as low as possibel while installing an outlet in a tight spot.

James and his crew installed a new panel at my home. The workers left trash in my yard (box cutter blade and plastic water bottle). I had asked for a hook up for an EV charger which was included in the original bid. When the panel installation was done, James asked for more money for the charger, forgetting that it was in the original bid! I had it still in text messages, but decided to fore go this, since I had a BAD feeling about this contractor. My power company had him on their blacklist because he kept disconnecting and reconnecting my power without notifying them. I also had to be there to walk the inspectors through inspection, since James said I could do it myself. (WTH?!) Dont use these guys! read more

Really enjoyed working with JCM Electric. Their proposal was reasonable and James was very clear in describing the scope of work. The electricians on site were easy to work with and the project completed ahead of schedule. read more

Initially all was well. They came out quickly same day we called and fixed a broken breaker in our circuit box. But the next day our AC system wasn't working. We texted them several times but they never got back to us or responded. We had to hire a second company to come out and they found a loose ground wire that had not been connected to the breaker they had replaced. Really disappointed in them ghosting us and not fixing what they broke. read more

Best quote, professional service. Arrived on time and project looks good. Would hire again.

If I could give them more than 5 stars I would. I needed an EV charger installed immediately. The owner, James responded so quick to my yelp request and offered to come to my house that evening to give me an estimate. I asked how soon he could install since I was in a panic since my car came in way sooner than I anticipated. He had a big job he was doing the next day but offered to have his employee come out at 6 am then next day. WOW! It's not like my job was a huge one but for him to offer this made me so appreciative. His employee showed up right on time (can't say that's ever happened before) he was professional and did an amazing job. Very clean and finished earlier than estimated. I had a bad outlet inside the house that he even fixed on the spot. I can't say enough great things about JCM electric. I 100% recommend them for all your electrical jobs. read more

Amazing! Accommodated our location and squeezed us in for an appointment super fast. Great communication and work was done meticulously. We have another project coming up and will use this company going forward. Highly recommend!!! read more

James responded immediately to my request and came out the next day. Although he wasn't able to establish the problem (my Tesla charger decided to work again so he wasn't able to see the issue), he gave me some great suggestions on what to do going forward and thoroughly inspected everything to see if there were obvious issues. Professional and personable. read more

James was so amazing!! Friday before Christmas James showed up to fix the problem. The gfci blew out in the garage when there was a power outage earlier in the week, it actually blew out the outlet itself. The breaker was not flipped and resetting the outlet got no response. We tried replacing the outlet and still nothing. James got here and within a half hour had everything back together and in working order. We will be calling JCM Electric for all our electrical needs from now on!! Thank you James!!!!! read more

I came across JCM through a frantic Yelp search. Half my house did not have power. James responded quickly and was at my house within 30 minutes of when last spoke. He was very knowledgeable and had us up and running in less than an hour. Not only that but he also saved us on what could have been a fire due to the voltage of our panel. He said he responded so quickly because based in my initial information he knew it was a big deal but did not want to freak me out. This tells me he cares and really take priority on the safety of others. I highly recommend James and will use him for other electrical needs in the future. read more

Efficient, pleasant, fair in replacing old electrical panel & getting both City of San Jose & PG&E approval.

James (Jimmy) is very knowledgeable and friendly. He was highly recommended by my contractor. He took the time to understand what it was I needed, explained the pros and cons while offering great suggestions, and performed the installation very quickly and efficiently working with my schedule. He was very patient and was more than happy to explain what was happening and why each part was important. The work (upgrading main panel to 200 amps, adding a 100 amp sub-panel in the garage, and installing the outlets for my EV chargers) were all done very quickly and efficiently. James was the best pricing for the service as well. On time, within budget, and friendly. read more

I selected JCM Electric for my electrical repair because of the Yelp rating. The rating was correct. They were very easy to work with. When I contacted them for their availability, they responded right away and were able to come the next day. We had a problem with our recessed lights and dimming switch in our dining room. After blowing up one of the replacement bulbs, only two of the four lights were working and the dimmer feature stopped working. Eric came out to take a look. He was great and explained everything. He was able to diagnose the issue quickly and determined we needed a new dimmer switch. Luckily we had a new dimmer switch on hand. The diagnosis and repair took about an hour. I would definitely recommend JCM Electric for any electrical repairs and would use them again. Thanks Eric! read more

Excellent and fast service! Loved working with James on my Nema 14-50 socket installation.

I had a video doorbell problem that was fixed after two rounds of troubleshooting, with no charge for the second visit. Highly recommend!

I truly appreciate how quickly and professional for the service. I had an urgent issue on the electric panel on Sunday, half of the house didn't have power, James showed up first thing in the morning on Monday to diagnose it and provided the best and lowest cost solution to us! He spent time to explain the issues and patiently answered our questions. I highly recommend JCM Electric! read more

We were very grateful to have found James for an electrical panel upgrade for our 1950's home. He was very knowledgeable and his estimate came in at a very fair price. When the COVID-19 pandemic forced my husband and I to work from home and our three teenage children to complete their college and high school classes virtually, we quickly discovered that our home was NOT built to handle the electrical load we were placing upon it! We suffered greatly when several Zoom calls crashed after innocent family members warmed up lunch in the microwave. There went the breaker... again and again! The microwave became a source of heated (ha-ha) debate for the family, with strict rules of when and how it could be used without disrupting someone's online work! Along came James and his assistant Eric who listened to our woes and helped us figure out how to fix this and other electrical problems. Not only did James take care of our current needs, but he helped us think about future needs when we told him we wanted to remodel our kitchen and redo our garage eventually. Thank you, JCM Electric! We've already referred JCM to our neighbors and will continue to do so. We've been very satisfied with his excellent work. read more

JCM Electric - new electrical panel - Electricians Near Me - Los Gatos, California

I called them for Tesla EV charger installation ,James answered my call and scheduled the installation, they cam and finished the job . They did decent job and good price I really recommend this company . read more

I found my go-to electrician. I highly recommend JCM Electric. James (the electrician) is the man!  I contacted several electricians in the area for EV charging (Nema 14-50 outlet) installation. One electrician was booked until the next month. He didn't even seem interested in answering my questions. I'm assume he does fairly well with his bigger projects & commercial clients and probably consider my needs to not be worth his time. : / However, JMC Electric responded quickly and offered me a very fair quote (actually significantly lower than the other electricians). James and his assistant came out the very next day!  James was very friendly, knowledgeable, and answered all the questions I had. He completed the work in less than 2 hours.  I am surprised JMC only has a handful of reviews. This guy should have 200+ 5 stars. I will recommend James & JMC to all of my friends & family. read more

Great service. Needed to replace some ceiling light fixtures. They gave the best offer, showed up on time, and did a perfect job !

Great service by James M.! He came to us the same evening of my call after a very large tree fell on our main power line and house. James was extremely kind and helpful and worked directly with the city utilities until our main line was fully tested and quickly reconnected. He understands problems and the city permit hurdles and goes out of his way to help his customers. I highly recommend James, he has great knowledge and also knows how to deal with the utilities and customers, overall great customer service. Pricing was very competitive for a same day emergency service. read more
