Best Heating & Air Conditioning / HVAC In Somerville

“I rarely write reviews, so please bear with me.

Long story short: My best experience with any electrician has been with Jim of JDO Electric.

On Saturday, July 5th of the holiday weekend, my home’s electrical system started to fail. Some outlets worked, others were completely out, and a few flickered on and off—creating a strange and somewhat frightening situation that needed immediate attention. I reached out to several electricians I’ve used in the past. Only Jim returned my call—within an hour of me leaving a voicemail.

After I explained the issue, he quickly put me at ease. He said there didn’t seem to be an imminent threat to the house and promised to come by within the hour.

Upon arrival, he diagnosed the problem and explained what was causing it. Jim was able to provide temporary relief by restoring most of the 110v service. It turned out that the electrical load in the house had become too much after we installed a central AC system and an EV charger in the garage.

Jim recommended upgrading to a 200-amp service. This involved not only replacing the entire electrical panel but also extensive rewiring—inside the house, at the meter, and the connection to the utility pole.

Throughout the process, Jim and his assistant Austin were excellent at keeping us informed about what they were doing and why. Their clear communication reassured us that everything was moving along smoothly. They worked diligently and professionally, kept the work areas clean, and were respectful of the fact that we were working from home. Even with the outdoor work requiring them to endure extreme heat, they pressed on and got the job done.

The entire upgrade took about a week and a half, and we couldn’t be more satisfied with both the process and the final result. I wholeheartedly recommend JDO Electric to anyone looking for a competent, experienced, professional, and reliable electrician.“

“Ahern plumbing came to fix a running kitchen faucet last week. I was so impressed by Chris and his associate. They were timely, courteous and did the job thoroughly. They say that if you're lucky you'll find a partner, a dentist, a lawyer, a plumber, a mechanic, an accountant and a doctor you can trust. I'm happy because now I just need to find the dentist, the lawyer and the accountant and my team will be complete.“

“Dave was awesome on my same day emergency repairs. On time, well done, very professional and fair priced!“

“Damien came out to service our water heater that had been on the fritz for awhile, But now It's working perfectly. We are a very busy dog grooming salon, so needless to say it was a little crazy ( hair flying,dogs under foot) when he came in. He was very polite explained everything he had to do and why we were having issues. We can't say enough good things. I would recommend Elge Plumbing and Heating to anyone. Thank you for great service.“
