Just Electric

Excellent service. First time customer, called on a late Friday afternoon before a major holiday weekend at 4:15pm, and got a quick response from Frank. They promised to be there sometime between 5-6pm, but the technician Fritz showed up exactly on time at 5pm, and I told him of two major electrical issues inside my house. He performed a thorough evaluation of the local areas and circuit box before giving me a detailed diagnosis and proposed work plan. After I agreed to it, he performed the work professionally and courteously, not minding the messiness he had to work around or the loud barking of my excited dogs. The process took only two hours; it might have gone faster but he patiently took the time to answer my questions and explain how to avoid future issues. Once done, we checked the work and both problems were fully resolved. Fritz restored my power, replaced receptacles, and replaced a breaker to fix everything. I am very happy I contacted Just Electric and will be definitely reaching out to them for all my electric needs, not just emergency repairs but also for overdue upkeep and sensible replacements. Thanks again Fritz!

As stated from others, having 2 (two) Yelp Pages IS FISHY. I wished I would have read these reviews (first) before making a decision to use Just Electric / Fritz Pineda.
Last comment he made to me before leaving was... It's JUST money, you can't take it with you. Smh, to which I replied, I have 2 young adults (19 and 17) one in college and the other about to start. Fritz mentioned he has a son, but obviously MUST HAVE FORGOTTEN what it's like to raise a child / children.

Quality of work you ask? He did not do anything (other than tighten a few loose connections) and charged us $1225.00!!! $875 for tightening 2 or 3 loose connections and $350 to check all the electrical outlets. So let's put this into perspective. How long do you think it would take you to put a meter into all the plugs in your house to see if they work or not? 30 minutes maybe? Probably less.

He mentioned the Panel Box needed to be cleaned and greased and this would be an additional $250. Grant it, None of 3 companies who came behind him agreed. Service Champions, Edison and Abide Electric (which I highly recommend by the way). Just Electric WANTED TO COME BACK and fix his suggestions / some thing I had already mentioned for ANOTHER WHOPPING $1400.00!!! Abide Electric came and fixed everything Just Electric mentioned for (under $600) - that's was less than half of what Fritz quoted us. Remember... some things didn't need to be done, like cleaning the panel box. Replacing a double breaker... smh, grounding 8 outlets...

Just Electric missed 1 of the 2 issues I mentioned to them. I had to show pics that an unlicensed electrician took previously. We also believe that since we mentioned to J.E. prior to him coming, he should have fixed while he was here (for a 2nd time) I might ad in which he charged a consultant fee of $65.

J.E (Just Electric) mentioned possibly having to run a ground wire and this would be hard or more difficult to do. He stated the kitchen, bathrooms and 3 outdoor electric outlets (may) need to be grounded and this was 1 of the reasons the price of a 3rd trip to fix these things was SO HIGH. When Abide Electric came out, 7 of the 8 WERE GROUNDED FRITZ! Smh (shaking my head). If we had taken all of J.E. suggestions, we'd be out of almost 3K!!!

See pics of Edison showing me the inside of the Panel Box. J.E did not do this / show me the inside of the Panel Box, or suggest I see it. Nor did they take pics of the attic or the issues that I mentioned to him.

Again 3 other companies after J.E did not agree with Fritz suggestion of cleaning the bars. Edison, did come to replace the wiring to the house - J.E suggested. But J.E made a whole lot of suggestions and hardly did any work (as I mentioned above)... a 20 min inspection and tightening some loose wires, DID NOT repair all that was mentioned for $1225!

We are currently in dispute with J.E and our credit card company, TRYING to get a partial refund of half of the money we paid. I have nicely asked twice that he show some consideration. So far, no reply.
See pics of the panel below AND I may post the letters and pics of the completed work done by Abide Electric and remarks made refuting half of the things suggested by J.E.

Save yourself a headache and look around for a different (licensed) electrician / company. This guy doesn't value your HARD EARNED MONEY!

Please don't use this company paid 7,000.00 to upgrade my electric panel and found out the guy 5hst did the upgrade was not licensed. Don't use this company.

Company has two Yelp pages, kinda fishy so I'll share here as well...

Called to replace a Pushmatic 20 amp breaker. When Fritz arrived he was greeted by my girlfriend and her mother and quoted us $550 for a breaker replacement, over double market rate for the job. Claimed it was due to the breaker being ""Made in America, not Chinese like Loews"". Did not show proof... Given the market value of a 20 amp Pushmatic breaker from American manufacturers ($32) that leaves $518 charge for a half hour of rude work. When confronted by an educated customer he backed down to a still outrageous $400... Would not recommend for any work at any time for any reason.

I had a disabled friend use this company and he had a breaker in his kitchen that went out he had to get it fixed because it was late at night and didn't want the food in the refrigerator to go bad they way over charged him more than half the price especially in times that we are in right now I would not recommend this company

Jenny P.

not worth a star. i do not recommend this guy. he was not friendly and rude on the phone. however, i needed a electrician person to come over to see the problem. this guy came over, over-stated the problem and charge at a ridiculous price. after second opinion, it was a minor problem.

Honestly the service was amazing. I had a very last minute fixture that I needed installed and Fritz got the job done. He was quick and very experienced!! Great prices and even better workmanship. I'm very happy with the service Fritz provided. The fixture looks amazing.
