I've had John (JM Electrical) undertake various electrical projects over many years, including our most recent project (Oct 2025). He has never failed to delight us. He's a super nice guy, very knowledgeable about all things electrical, and knows the codes. He works efficiently and quickly and is very diligent. Does really good work. I've given him several referrals to friends, and without exception, they always provide extremely positive feedback. His prices are competitive and fair. He is honest, honorable, trustworthy, and dependable. Two thumbs up for John and company. read more

Excellent. Book a schedule to have our Tesla Wall Charger installed. He arrived early and ready! He recommends installing from the main breaker panel outside into the house but due to our Tesla parked further in on the opposite side of the garage, the 24' Tesla cable was not long enough and a trip hazard. We decided to connect closer to subpanel on a 50A breaker with 6AWG copper wires. The Tesla is able to charge up to its max rating of 48A. Which is much conveniently placed should we get a second Tesla down the road. Fired up and running on the first try. read more

The owner John is awesome. If you're looking for somebody who's honest loyal trustworthy and does what's best for the customer and not his own pocket this is the guy you want to call. I called every electrician in the area to climb into the attic and everybody had a $500 fee just to climb the ladder. John came out gave us honest assessment had no fee And ended up we didn't even need to go into the attic. He got the job done with minimal time charged his hourly rate and did a fantastic job. So if you're looking for someone who is passionate about their job and not just doing it for a dollar but eager to do it the right way by code and is an honest electrician this is your guy. I wouldn't hesitate to call JOHN! Go Navy!!! Lol read more

John does excellent work and is great to discuss projects with. He did many circuits in our kitchen, wired an electric water heater for us, and replaced our electrical panel. read more

John (the owner) fixed what turned out to be a minor issue. Then I asked him to look at another issue (an outlet that wasn't working). He gave me very good advice about options to fix the outlet (a high-price option he didn't recommend and a lower-price option. He also explained why the previous homeowner's renovations probably created a mess to fix it if I pursued the high-price option) but made it clear that since I wasn't using the outlet much that it would be reasonable to do nothing. In other words, he wasn't pushing unnecessary repairs on me and seemed motivated to make sure I got what was best for me. He bills a minimum for the first hour (which is totally reasonable and industry standard), and since he still had time in that hour after working on the above two issues, he asked whether I had other things to be addressed (in other words, on his own, he made sure I got the most out of that 1-hour fee). So I had him take a look at another thing, which again turned out to be minor. There was still a bit of time in that hour, so he again asked me if there was anything else to work on! John was clearly interested in giving me the best service within his reasonable fees. On top of it, he was very personable (sharing stories about his family) and humorous. read more

I owe Jim this late post review! Out of 5 companies, I called this company and Jim called me back almost right away! I spoke to Jim the owner/tech and we set up a date and time. He arrived on time and some how I knew, I had the right man for the job. I asked him to install an ac outlet for two of my flat screen tvs and extra outlets for wiring HDMI and sound cables behind the wall to make it look clean! He finalized the job and even showed me how the electricians who built my home did not take the time to properly wire some of the AC outlets clean and effective. He rewired the outlets, made sure they were all working, channeled all the wiring behind the wall to give that clean professional look. He did warn me that he had to cut the sheetrock , small squares but that could be patched later and it was the thing to do to make it look clean. I agreed, I asked him to take a look at a problem with a braker on my garage and said I needed to add another direct outlet because my compressor draws too much juice and keeps popping the breaker. He had to cut some of the sheetrock to get the job done right, added a dedicated outlet, put the sheetrock back and problem solved. He quoted me a decent price for each outlet and solved every problem one at a time. He did cut the sheetrock because there was no way around that but I already called someone who came to patch it all up, textured and painted it, looks clean and all my outlets work without any issues. I plan on calling Jim again! Other contractors were charging me tripple or quatruple what Jim quoted me! He is one of the few old school technicians who has the experience to show for and prefers to have customers call him again than lose a customer for being greedy and over pricing his work! You wont regret calling Jim! read more

John is just amazing. He solved 2 big problems for me with a minimum of effort ( from me. John works hard and is really diligent). And saved me a ton of money. Don't know what building codes were in 1953, when my house was built, but they were very poorly adhered to. John came through for me and we are beyond happy read more

John is great! This is my second review (did one over 4 years ago) - he was wonderful then and is still wonderful now. He was only going to come out to give us a estimate and then make a follow up appointment. Our old hot water heater "burst" on Christmas night and wasn't repairable. We had to purchase a new one and opted to have a pump (didn't know we needed a nearby outlet until after the water heater was installed - very shady). I called John yesterday 1/10/22 he came out today 1/11/22 and actually installed the outlet!! He is reasonably priced, trustworthy and knows his stuff!! It's rare these days to find someone like him. Thank you John!!! read more

Stop. Look. Don't bother looking for another electrician or second Opinion. You found the BEST OF THE BEST. John is a miracle worker. I had a very complicated (to me anyways) situation. I posted in swap sites trying to seek help. MY husband loooked up electricians here in yelp, found JM electric and gave him a call based on HIS EXCELLENT yelp reviews. SO GLAD I CALLED Them. He was out the very next day, and solved my problem IMMEDIATELY!!!!!! Come to find out a breaker that kept tripping was on too high of an amp, and was also loose and started to MELT!!!! He was personable, caring, funny and genuine!!!! A++++++ Thank you John!!! read more

He responded quickly, even calling me back on a Friday evening. He wasn't able to help me with new construction electric right now bc he had too many jobs already but he gave me a name and number of someone else in the area! Thanks so much! read more

Called in because the front of my house is pitch black at night and it's difficult just to see the door. John was very nice and you can tell he has experience. I called and setup an appointment window from 4-6pm the next day, but he called and arrived around noon. Was quotes $200 for 2 front lights and a dryer plug by a nice woman over the phone. After inspection he was able to quickly get the dryer working again by some wires that had been disconnected. Secondly he was only able to replace the porch light, and not the garage light because the wire had been cut. So I was happy with the dryer and porch light. Ended up costing my $100 which is a huge plus. I recommend , just remember to clear space so he can get to the breaker read more

No need to hunt any further for the best electrician with the best prices. John knows his stuff, and he's willing to share knowledge, and gets the work done as scheduled. I needed a few things done, including two Ring Flood Cams installed for the front and back yards where there was no power source readily available. John came up with a solution and got everything done no problem. A great guy, a great electrician, great prices--can't ask for more than that. Thanks John! read more

I hired John to install an outlet for a range as the previous range was hard wired into the wall from the previous owners. John was super friendly and got the work done in a short amount of time. I felt his pricing was fair and within the price range of quotes I got. The most important part to me is he seemed like a very honest guy and to me that means a lot! I will def be hiring him again to assist me with some light fixtures and ceiling fans! It does seem like he books up so I would def call ahead of time to set an appointment and not wait until the last minute read more

John is professional, kind, and knowledgeable. He was able to solve our electrical issues as well as modify our existing appliance distribution and upgrade where required. His rates are very fair. We will use his services again. I highly recommend J M Electric 925 778 2231 read more

I had a bunch of odd outdoor lighting challenges that had to be diagnosed through lots of deduction and John figured them all out and did it for a very reasonable price. His 30+ years of experience and willingness to problem solve resulted in excellent service. read more

Electrical problems within a home can be quite a pain. I had an outlet which was dead. Out of six companies I sought help from, John from J M Electric was the only one to return my call. John showed up promptly for our appointment and quickly remedied the problem. I inquired if he could install ceiling fans. Not only was he able, he quickly installed a fan in a bedroom right after he handled what I initially called for. I recommend J M Electric very highly for their professional and quick service along with their great pricing. read more

John did an electrical job for me today. He came on time and did a good job. His communications were easy and clear and I'm pleased with the outcome. read more

A week ago, we were in desperate need of an electrician. Prior to John doing the work, we had another company come take a look at what needed to be done. Before we hired them, we wanted to see some other quotes. The next day John came by to give us a quote. As soon as he saw what needed to be done, he jumped right in to fix the problem. Not to mention, he did the job for a lot less! Great guy, great electrician read more

John is great! I called John on a late Sunday evening and he was patient enough to walk me through troubleshooting steps on the phone. Ten minutes later he helped me fix the problem. He could have come over and charged some fee for his service, but he didn't and know has earned my future business. Thanks! read more

Ask for a few quotes from JM and other electricians, he was very prompt in replying to my questions including at late night when I'm awake due to night shift hours. Called on Sunday to speak to him personally about my outlets in our master bedroom and get estimate. He was straight forward. Price was reasonable. He came the next day on a Holiday. Found what was the problem and fixed it. No delays and got the job done My kind of contractor. Recommended read more

John is thorough, reliable, honest, and extremely knowledgeable. He did a great job with several electrical repairs and upgrades on our recently-purchased home. Highly recommended! read more

John is the best. I lost power in half of the house including the electric stove. This was two weeks before Christmas and he was booked past New Years. But knowing the situation made an effort to keep in contact and let me know if any openings came up. Sure enough he had an opening a couple of days later and the power is back. Its my second time using JM Electric and both times he's been easy to communicate with, honest and efficient. Thanks John! read more

Honest. Reasonably priced. I have found someone who shows up when they say they will, on time and actually repairs the issues. He is a keeper. I will hire him again! read more

Thank you John from JM Electric! After several bids and estimates from different electrical companies we decided to go with JM electric. John the owner came out and explain step-by-step what was needed, suggesting the best way to do it, where to place the lights for the best lighting and the safest way to do it. He is truly a very honest, professional and very compassionate about his work. He didn't try to sell us something that we didn't need and his quality of work is outstanding. We definitely will use him again as we continue to upgrade. I highly recommend his services!! A+ work all the way! Thank you, John and Lisa Silva read more

John installed a new electric panel for me. He took care of everything including scheduling inspections with the city and PG&E. Throughout the process he was very communicative and responsive. He is honest and trustworthy and I was completely satisfied with his work. read more

John is absolutely the BEST electrician you can find! Not only does he keep his appointments, is prompt, but he is also Extremely good at what he does. Unfortunately we hired a different local electrician that tried his best to fix the same 2 light fixtures for 2 days and ended up leaving us with a bigger problem where we now needed to use the breaker to turn on and off 1/3 of our lights for opening and closing our business. We dealt with this for days before finding John. John came and fixed both light fixtures and corrected the wiring in an hour. We now have all of our lights working and can breathe. I'm so grateful! As the other reviewers have stated he is honest, reliable, knowledgeable in his craft, and affordable!!! Look no further for your electrician. He's now our number one go to for all big electrical problems and upgrades! Thanks again John!!! read more

We have used John's services previously, and this time we needed him to hang some pendant lights above the kitchen island. He is knowledgeable, meticulous/careful, efficient and his prices are competitive. You will not be disappointed if you use him for any electrical need (except HVAC stuff - he does not do HVAC related electrical issues). read more

I had a GFI outlet and also GFI circuit breaker switch triggered by too much wattage going at once. The problem is that I could not switch back the GFI circuit breaker switch and the GFI outlet was not working after this happened. I called a few electricians, including JM Electricric. John talked to me over the phone and walked me through a few steps to correct my issue without needing to come out. Nowadays it is incredably difficult to find such genuinely honest people such as John at JM Electric. I looked at JM Electric's reviews and they are absolutely flawless. Check for yourself. I saved JM Electric's contact info and will recommend them to anyone. They are as honest as they come. John as also been in business for 38 years, so he knows what he is doing. read more

John is a lifesaver. I had an emergency request for my dryer and he fit me into his busy schedule. With John's 30 years experience I am not surprised that he has so many 5 star ratings. Thank you again John, really appreciate you! read more

I live in a 1931 house has bee wired and rewired over the years. Needless to say electrical issues are expected. I've been lucky that most issues are minor and I've repaired them myself. But, then the big one happened: the overhead lights went out in the Kitchen, 1/2 bath, dinning room, laundry room and porch. I had 2 electricians try to find the problem that I paid and they both left scratching their heads. The 3rd one had a heavy workload and couldn't carve out the time to help me (and didn't charge me for the one visit). I went 4 months working around the problem and then I posted on Facebook or my friends to recommend a GOOD electrician. John was recommended by a former boss and I gave him a call. He scheduled the visit within 5 days (after asking if needed he could try to make it sooner). Within 15 minutes of his arrival and the price of an hour (minimum service call) I am up and running in all rooms! He called me on his way home this evening to make sure everything was still working. To say I am happy would be an understatement. read more

I found John through browsing on Google to find a local electrician to convert my hardwired range to a receptical. I spoke to him explained my problem and he gave me a quote. He called me back in a day or 2 to set up the appointment the same day. My husband stated he was a really nice guy and also liked him a lot and his price was less than what he quoted. I surely will call him back up when i need something. Thank You!! read more

Nicest guy you could meet! Fixed the problem in 15 minutes! Will always call him first, for anything. In business for 32 years, he knows his trade well. Thanks John! And it was a pleasure meeting you! read more

JM Electric is amazing. As the other posts suggest, John is a super nice guy, and his work is excellent. My husband and I bought and old 1911 bungalow, we hired one company, and they were pretty good, but John was hands down the best. He was responsive to our calls and emails, he clearly explained the work that needed to be done to fix the problems we called him about, and best of all, he didn't oversell his services. When we needed something he told us, and when we didn't (e.g., and expensive re-wiring of knob/tube wiring) he dissuaded us from fixing a something that wasn't broke. He re-wired our kitchen, cleaned up bits of the knob/tube wiring, inspected that wiring & certified its safety, installed a range hood in the kitchen, added a GFI outlet for our subpump, added an external outlet at the back of our house, and fixed the door bell. Fantastic! He saved us money and professionally and completed the work we hired him to do. He's the first on my list to call when I need electric work done. read more

I called John after a referral from a friend. Awesome, honest and fast assistance. Within a minute of coming into our home, he began tracing our electrical problem, diagnosed it, bought the parts he needed and was down within less than an hour. I would highly recommend this company! read more

JM electric is very honest, punctual, with fair price's. the owner (John ) is a first class person. I will use this company again.
