Electrical Panel Upgrade to 200 amps

JTL & Son upgraded our electrical panel from 100 amps to 200 amps in November 2021.
Our home was built in the 1970's and has aluminum wiring.

We got 3 quotes for the job, and chose JTL because they are local, they have decades of experience, they are very knowledgeable about aluminum wiring issues, and their price was fair (in the middle of the 3 quotes).

On the day of the job, the 2-man crew arrived on time, did a professional job, and left the site clean. They did a bit of patching work outside, and it was also well done.

The final amount charged was the same as the estimate. JTL sent us an invoice and ESA Certificate of Acceptance by email after the job was completed.

We were happy with the work done, and we would recommend JTL & Son.

Rewired our 1970s home

We have used JTL three times now for large projects. They were originally recommended by friends. They are known for avoid holes in drywall and being very clean.

All three electricians (Shaun, Gordon and Jim) were polite, organized and wore masks the entire time.

They gave a detailed quote and all work was done on time and on budget. It was great how little damage they did will rewiring our entire home.

Thank you for the review. We do take great pride in rewiring a house with no damage or very little damage. It takes a bit more time but as mentioned above customers are very happy.

Basement Electrical

Friday evening I needed an electrician to sort out an issue. I called JTL and Jim responded to my message promptly and was working away shortly there after.

I like to talk to workers as they do their work to understand a thing or two. Jim was engaging and very easy to deal with.

Thank you JTL - when needed you will be my 1st call

Kitchen electrical work

I would stay away from them. They charged me half an hour to produce an invoice! Jim is the "J" in JTL. He brought his son who was supposedly an electrician and a young apprentice who was not an electrician. For these three people I was charged 2 1/2 times the rate. I told them I needed a new 240 volt line for an electric stove. While installing they said they didn't have the correct breaker and had to go to Home Depot. These are supposedly electricians. I was charged time for one to get the breaker. A not so friendly lady does the billing and was the one who said to get the invoice I have to be charged an extra half hour.

Use Multiple Times For Residential Renovations and Changes

Dollar amount reflects more than one job over multiple years. Jim and Son were so honest first job i did 2 years ago they are always my first call. They have done all my office, kitchen, outside, and conversion to 220 service needs over 20 + years. Quality, tidy work every time.

Install two fixtures and run new outdoor cable

I don't recommend using them. The final invoice was 200% more than initial quote. Be sure to get quote in writing before starting work! I made the mistake of taking their word since I had used them in the past. Big mistake!

Attic fan and ceiling fans

We just experienced the most professional contractors in the JTL and Son team, including Jim the owner, Jason his son and another team member Victor. We are particularly impressed not just with the professionalism, but also the courtesy, consideration and patience installing an attic fan and 2 ceiling fans including installing new wiring in between existing walls going from the basement to the roof. We would highly recommend Jim's service to any body. He is honest, professional and meticulous in his work and he treats the client's home like his own. Wonderful work and many thanks to you Jim and your team.

Run 60 amp service from house to garage

We hired JTL to run 60 amp service from our house to the garage. Work was done as per quote in a timely manner. Their crew was very professional and cleaned up after themselves.

knob & tube replacement

JTL replaced the knob & tube wiring in our 1922 home, two storeys + basement.
They made NO visible holes in the walls or ceilings of the 1st and 2nd storeys, but nevertheless fished the new wires around seemingly impossible corners and through ceilings and walls. So we had no repainting or re-wallpapering to do on 1st or 2nd storeys.
Because the basement had been "renovated" by previous owners in an amateur way, wall repairs were necessary here after the K7T installation.
Their estimate was the lowest of three, because the owner (who does the work) made the estimate, not an estimator who doesn't actually do the work.
