They made a hole in front of my house for a temporary pole. The pole came out and they filled it in, which lasted until the first rain storm. Now there is a 4 to 5-foot hole waiting for someone to fall into. Called them to report it and all they did was flag it off. Two weeks later still not filled in yet.

J.F. Electric has been working on replacement of overhead power lines near our business and their safety and quality record has been terrible. First, hey hit one of our buildings with a truck and refused to repair or pay for repair. Next they nearly killed one their own employees by causing a transformer to fall from the air and starting a fire on the ground. This caused the entire street to lose power for an entire weekday. Lastly, in a separate incident, they snapped a power line, causing it to swing down into the road and making us lose power again. Calls to the owner and to the "safety director" have not been returned. Not only are they responsible for physical damage and lost productivity, their work has serious potential to hurt or kill people.

I would highly recommend JF Electric. They were out here within 30 minutes of me calling and got my power back on within a few hours. A tree hit my power line and tore the power line through my roof all the way down to my basement. They had to rebuild all of the exterior and some of my the interior electrical. They were very professional while being personable. It was a stressful situation for me since it was 100 degrees outside on a Friday afternoon when I called them but they put my mind at ease and got the job done right.

Stormed snapped our power line to the transformer. Reported the break, and these guys were out in just a few hours. Repaired the lines and had power restored an hour sooner that predicted.
