Electrical reviews in Woodbridge, Virginia

Josue and Jose did a great job installing our Tesla wall charger. They were efficient and very careful of our property. We are very satisfied with the work they did and would definitely recommend them!

The technician from JAR Services did an excellent job installing our ceiling fan in our living room. He even provided a very suitable wall switch solution to a fan design shortcoming. The work was done in a fairly efficient amount of time given the technical operation issue discovered during installation.

We were referred to JAR Services LLC by Home Depot when we bought several light fixtures and a ceiling fan for our new home. They were fantastic to work with - professional, on-time (most vendors we've worked with on our move in have operated in very wide "we'll show up between 12 and 5" windows which is difficult when you work during the day - JAR Services gave us 2 hours windows and sent multiple updates when they were on their way so we could plan accordingly), and you can tell they take great pride in the work of their small business.

We had them install a fairly complex chandelier, a ceiling fan, and two more basic light fixtures. The price was excellent, they worked quickly, made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it, then were out of our hair.

Can't recommend them enough.

Nice neighborhood

Run don't walk away.

Friendly and helpful small business owner.

Great experience, knows what he is doing.

Been taking my satellite truck's generator for service for the last 3 years they're perfect.

Let me begin by saying that I am usually very reluctant to write a negative review on a review platform, but today's experience with Wesmart was egregious enough to come to this, especially as most of my interaction was with the company's owner, Wes. He and his company repaired the panel for our backup generator. Though I cannot yet comment on the quality of the work, as the repair was just made an hour ago (it seems to be in good working order at present), the reasons for the negative review are threefold:

1) Hidden costs/deception: after performing the work, we were surprised that we were being charged ~$200 more than we anticipated/estimated. The owner, Wes, told us that instead of being charged for the 1.5 hours they were at our home during the repair (he arrived at ~10:20 am and finished up ~11:50 am), that he was charging us 3.5 hours (inclusive of 2 hours of commute time from Woodbridge (which is 30 minutes away) - and this at a nearly $100/hour rate). He then noted to me that he had actually left at 8 am and was discounting us an hour's commute. This would have been nice, if true, but it was a lie, as I actually called his office at ~8:45 am (twice) at which time I spoke with his assistant Cassidy, and then Wes himself! When I mentioned this inconsistency, he became nonresponsive and accused me of abusive language (I did not curse or disparage him in anyway except for noting that the transit costs were not disclosed as being included in the total price at anytime prior to the moment he presented the bill to my wife, that charging for commute time at the full labor price was not market (in our experience), and that his calculation of the commute time was double the actual commute time) and hung up the phone. I believe his actions were driven in part by our not being under contract with his Company, as previous attempts to get a breakdown of estimated fees were met with unclear responses and a push to go under contract - we did the math - not worth it. Do note that we ended up paying Wes, in full, exactly what he asked for as I'm not the type of guy to stiff someone who provided a service to us, but we did not tip him (which we were prepared to do). I admit I regret not tipping his assistant Carlos.

2) Rudeness: I was not at home for the service call, but according to my wife, Wes barged into our house/yard without greeting my wife or notifying her of his presence (though Carlos did) and essentially acted like she didn’t exist - not acknowledging her in any way until he asked for payment (isn’t it basic manners to greet your client, especially when stepping into their home?), and once we mentioned being surprised at the amount of the bill, he completely disengaged (since he had received a check from wife already), slammed the car door in her face as she was trying to talk to him, and drove off without further discussion. Understandably, my wife is more angry about this experience than I am. Perhaps Wes is just a grouchy curmudgeon but that’s not excusable in the service business.

3) Lack of communication/arrival estimate: though his staff (Cassidy, Erica & his helper Carlos) were very helpful and congenial, in contrast to other service companies that provide precise ETAs, Wesmart only provides a 4-hour window of when the technician will arrive (no better than the cable/utility company).

It goes without saying that we will not be engaging them again, because even if the work was done right (it likely was), it was not worth the mental angst that we (especially my wife) just went through. I'm certain you can find other companies that not only do good work, but whose actions/words you trust and whose service leaves you feeling satisfied.

Update: We received a formal invoice/receipt/work summary from Wesmart a few days after the repair by mail.

Lhee has been our go-to company for electrical work in our home for years.

Rich upgraded my outlet for my new stove and also upgraded my amps in the main breaker box. On time, awesome work, and according to code. I will be hiring Lhee Electric again!!

The absolute best work and customer service. Anytime someone asks about an electrician Mark is the one I recommend!

Excellent service at a great price. I highly recommend!

The electrician did not finish the job and wanted more money to complete the job. Charged $400 for 20 minutes of work!

Very responsive and professional! I received quick service and they were thankfully available on the same day I called. I would use them again if needed and highly recommend!

Quick turnaround and quick job. Price was amazing and they were very professional and took time to answer questions we had as well. Wont use anyone else from now on.

We had work with him before and the quality of his work is outstanding. He is timely and you won’t be disappointed if you use him. He provides exceptional service.
