With a blown outlet, I worried about more problems. So, I called Javier Rivas who was quick to ask the questions to assess the problem. He came on time and with another electrician they did the necessary work quickly and accurately. When I need any electrical work done, I'll call J. Rivas. I highly recommend him.

I can't rate service with this company at this time. I was contacted on December 2nd to inform me that they can't schedule the work until next month. I was asked if I wanted a quote in the meantime. I responded requesting a quote on December 3rd.. I haven't received that quote. PS. the rating above is only for the perpose of completing this post.

Another great job by Javier! He got right on the problem, determined cause. Nothing broken, more of a PG&E issue. Provided us info to contact PG&E if needed. We're all smiling. Thanks again, Javier!

So professional! On time, on schedule, on budget, and great communication all around. Working with Javier was as easy as it gets from start to finish. J Rivas has my highest recommendation and will continue to be my go-to for all electrical needs in Monterey Bay!

I contacted Javier Rivas Electric about adding new electrical outlets in my Kitchen and in my Garage. He responded quickly on the initial request for service. On the initial visit we discussed the details of the work requested and he provided me with an estimate a few days later. He and his helper were professional and the work was completed within the agreed upon time frame. I highly recommend this company for your electrical needs. I was very happy to use a local business.

Recently hired Javier to install a whole-house surge protector and a couple of light fixtures. The whole experience was great from beginning to end. Javier was prompt in coming over to give us a quote and also in scheduling the work appointment. His work was prompt and efficient and his prices were very reasonable. He was also very careful about taking Covid precautions and cleaning up upon finishing the work. Do yourself a favor if you need electrical work done and call Javier. We will hire him in the future and recommend him to anyone who needs electrical work.

Such an amazing service. First he responded very quickly and was able to come when it worked best for us. Our family just recently moved into a newly built home and needed some ceiling fans put in. He came out early today and installed the fans. He also found some wiring that was done incorrectly when our home was built and fixed it for us. I would 100% recommend J Rivas Electric to anyone. I appreciate everything he had done for us and when We need anything in the future I know I will be reaching out to him.

Called Javier about a possible wiring issue with an outside light. He was able to come fix it the same day I called and was considerate about updating me on his estimated time of arrival, which I appreciate. In less than an hour, he had my outside light working again. I definitely recommend him.

I contacted them about a circuit that went dead in the house, and also asked to add GFCI outlets in our house that was built in the 70s before GFCI was a thing. He was very prompt about returning my call and scheduled a visit for the next morning. He figured out the problem quickly and took care of everything in short time. He was very good about COVID protocol, even disinfecting the new outlets he installed.
I inquired about updating the electrical panel, as the wiring is old. He talked me out of it, saying the current setup was fine as long as I wasn't having problems. I'm impressed he didn't jump at the chance to upsell me.
The cost was reasonable and service was great, would definitely recommend.

It is so hard to find a good electrician. Javier was great! We had a relatively straight-forward electric panel replacement that the County and PG&E turned into a complicated project. Javier remained patient, professional and his fees for the extra work were more than fair. Javier is immediately very professional and you have confidence in his honesty and ability. Highly recommend!
