JET Electric

We had our furnace replaced 4 months ago by some knuckleheads. Today we go to use our AC for the first time, and nada..... no fan, no cool air, nothing. Furnace guys come back several times over last 3 days, each escalating the problem to a ""higher up guy"". UGH. I look on Facebook for recommendations in my n'hood and everyone lauded Jim Tarp and JET electric. It's 100+ degrees and I'm in meetings (while SIP) all day for work, my brain feels like it is melting. I'm desperate. So I have my husband call Jim. Jim replied WITHIN MINUTES of receiving our VM. He had husband take photo of our electric box thingamajig and then, by phone, walked my husband through resetting the breaker. Jim said it was a simple thing and not worth charging us for an on-sight call. We have a million small things going on with our home and Jim will be our go to electrician for all.

Thank you, Jet, Jim and Jake.

I made a mess of simple DIY project, causing me to lose power to a portion of my house. I called, and someone showed up within a couple of hours and resolved the problem quickly.

I had called two electricians prior to Jet. One didn't answer and the other told me they were too busy.

The pricing was reasonable and I appreciate simply having an invoice mailed to me.

Over charging without a quote: I called Jet Electric for having a problem with my outdoor fountain. Jim called me back. I trusted him as he is local in Morgan Hill where I live. I cancelled a previous electrician appointment which was from San Jose with a very reasonable price. Jim never gave me a quote on the phone and unfortunately I assumed his technician will give me a quote on site. When his electrician Jake arrived to my house he reset the GFI and told me I needed to replace the pump taking less than 10 minutes of his time. I asked him for a quote. He said he does not deal with money and that I will be getting an invoice from his office. Later I get an invoice for Jake's 10 minutes visit way more than I expected and much more than the previous quote which I cancelled from San Jose. They even wrongly included a call fee. When I called Jim about it, his conclusion was telling me to let this be a lesson for me to ask for and to receive a quote prior to agreeing for any service person to come to my house. He even threatened to sue me if I didn't pay his invoice, although I never indicated that I will not be paying it and merely asking him to review it and reconsider. Not a good way to treat a customer. Please be careful with these guys and request a written quote prior to accepting their services. There are plenty of electricians in San Jose with more reasonable prices.

Jim & Jake did an excellent job getting my wiring done for my outdoor landscaping project. I really appreciate their attention to detail and ability to get the job done right. I will definitely be calling them for all my future electric needs.

The best electricians in the area! Jim and Jake are professional and know their business. They were able to solve my electrical issues quickly. I could not be happier with this company.

Jim and Jake of Jet Electric are getting the highest review from me. Jake came out in a timely manner the same day I called and asked a couple of questions. He went to work with a great attitude and solved several problems. I would work with Jake any time and Jet Electric is on our list of preferred vendors.

We had an issue with a couple outlets in our house not working and our washer and dryer constantly going out without any ability to resuscitate it. We are so happy we found Jim, as we placed a call one morning and he was out at our house the next day! He quickly diagnosed our issue as being a burnt circuit peace, and he was able to not only fix it, but install a few more outlets in our garage to ensure that our washer and dryer would safely operate from here on out. It was such a relief to have someone who not only understood exactly what needed to be done, but was also an absolute joy to learn from and talk to throughout the process. Thank you Jim! We now know who to call if we ever have any other issues!!!

Jim is really friendly, cooperative and professional.
Thanks for fixing my house!

I've been very happy with Jet Electric's work. They've done several jobs for me now, and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Jim Tarp is a standup guy, and it's reflected in their work.

I'm especially glad and grateful that he helped me out of a bind- when I needed some work done RIGHT NOW. He got it done.

The only downside- their bandwidth and availability has recently been reduced due to circumstances beyond Jim's control. I hope it's just a temporary setback.

We had a fifteen-year old under-cabinet halogen light plugged into an electrical outlet in the kitchen (tile backsplash). The outlet had a loose wire which, after being fine for twenty years, finally gave out. The outlet was original to the house (1997). The outlet overheated and melted down, incidentally, when no one was around to see the flash or smell burnt plastic. While we know rudiments of electricity, this meltdown was beyond our knowledge and we felt we needed an expert electrician's opinion and treatment. We shut off that circuit at the circuit-breaker box. I felt very anxious on how bad the damage was, and was it likely to happen again.

We left a couple messages at JET, and within a few hours, they called back. We made appointment for the next day. Rick came out the next day (a Saturday). He clued us in what had happened, and fixed everything. The meltdown was a fluke, and did not extend past the outlet itself.

Rick took the outlet back to the office. He said he wanted to show it around because he had not seen an outlet melt down that badly in a long time. He said that it could have been worse -- we were lucky but in any case, such a meltdown would not have burned the house down, even if it had happened with an outlet set in drywall. I can rest easy.

That said, as an aside, halogen lights get very hot, are obsolete, and are a fire hazard. We are going to remove all of the halogen under-cabinet lights and replace them with LEDs. Electricians are correct in steering customers away from halogens for under-cabinets. Use LED or fluorescent!

Over the years, this is something like the fourth time we have needed an electrician where we have called on JET. Each time, JET has been very good.

Recommended. Five stars (*****).
