Aluminum wiring fix, eavestrough heating wiring, relocate dryer outlet
This review is long overdue. My appologies to Java Electric and and to my fellow Homestars users. We have used Java electric for three separate jobs over the past 8 months, which I shall describe below:
1) In July 2011, we moved into our home. It was built in the 1970s and there was a great deal of aluminum wiring throughout the original house and with copper wiring in the renovated areas. We contacted Java to discuss our options for dealing with the aluminum wiring. Antonio was a true professional. From the first phone call, he went over our various options and quickly put our concerns about aluminum wiring to ease. In the end, we chose the option he recommended. The cost quoted was very fair. The reason we selected Java over others was Antonio's professionalism. The work done by his crew was excellent and the ESA passed the work with no concerns at all.
2) While on site, Antonio advised us that he noticed the previous owners had connected the eavestrough heating using indoor rated extension cords, a potential fire hazard. This was also picked up by the ESA inpector. We therefor arranged for Yunior from Java Electric to come by to correct this problem. Yunior's work ethic is simply unheard of these days. He came by early in the morning to accomodate my schedule and quoted us a price, based on his estimate that the work would take 2-3 hrs. On the day of the job, it took much longer as he was working hard to snake the wiring through walls and soffits to avoid running the wires externally. Although it took him double the time he had estimated, he did not change his price.
3) We had a new washer/dryer delivered to our home. Upon arrival, the delivery men realized that they could not install the units because the electrical cord was two short (they were being installed in an awkward space). They had already removed our old unit and we ended up being stuck without a working washer/dryer... no small problem when you have kids. Without hesitation, we called Yunior from Java Electric, who was kind enough to come by on short notice and worked late into the evening to install a new outlet for us. He even connected the washer/dryer unit for us.
I have nothing but the best to say about Java Electric, the owner Antonio and Yunior, one of the electricians @ Java. Without a doubt, we will continue to use them for any future electrical work and have recommended them to others.
