Jefferson Electric of Greater Indianapolis, Serving Indiana

Rob and Casey were excellent to work with on the business side of things. They walked me through the process step by step and were always available to answer my questions. On the install side of the process was Sean Staley and his team. This team is the definition of professionals. During the install they were there to answer any questions we had and we had a lot. The attention to detail was incredible. It was the small things that stood out to me like removing their shoes before coming into the house, filing down their cuts on the ground mount and how clean the panels and inverters looked on the house just to name a few. Overall, this company offers one of the best panels on the market and a professional and pleasant experience. I will use Jefferson Electric for all of my solar and electrical needs going forward.

Jefferson Electric did a great job on my house. I had knob & tube still in my house (yikes!) and was having a hard time finding someone to replace it, so I asked r/Indianapolis on Reddit and a number of people recommended Jefferson. Dustin and the other electricians did a great job. They were very respectful and diligent and I felt comfortable having them in my house for several days. Great people to work with!

Jefferson, Electric Has continued to impress me with their top talent, customer service, workmanship, and integrity. I’ve had them perform work for me on several occasions, and they were so easy to work and so professional I couldn’t ask for a better company to work with. They uncovered electrical issues at a family members home that was not discovered during the inspection and repaired it at a very reasonable price. I had a whole house surge protector put in that now gives me peace of mind, and was a very fair price as well. Could not recommend the more.

Very happy with the work and professionalism of the crew who worked on our hot tub install. Only criticism we have is making sure to get back to customers on phone messages or emails a little quicker. We weren't in a big hurry, but I typically am, and honestly would just have gone to another place but they were also slow to answer messages. The tech work was good, and the guy who came to do the estimate was very good.

We hired Jefferson Electric because they seemed incredibly knowledgeable about installing electric vehicle charging stations. We worked with Mathew Chafey on the quote and he did research about what the right set up would be for our specific questions. The team came out to install the charger and did a great job. They were able to complete the job quicker than expected and made sure the area they worked in was cleaned up afterwards.

If you want the job done quickly and professionally - these are your people. Sam was our electrician and he was very thorough in making sure the outlet was replaced and safe to use. He went the extra mile.

Want to specifically speak to the professionalism and timeliness of Bruce. Top notch work completed quickly and when it came down to the last little piece he helped this old techno dinosaur load the app and understand how to operate my new Ring doorbell. This review is way past due because I'm a serious airhead also. Kudos to Bruce.

I needed to have my solar system serviced because four of my panels were not producing any power. After speaking with my regular electrician, they suggested Jefferson Electric for the job. It took about 4 weeks to get a call back from Jefferson Electric to set up an appointment for them to come out and look at my system, but in late October I finally got one of their workmen, Matt, to come out and take a look at it. Matt was informed by my solar monitoring company that two of my micro inverters were defective and needed to be replaced. I asked how much this was going to cost right then and there and was told, IDK, but when I asked later, he said it was completely covered under warranty and would be free. Matt replaced the inverters 10 days later, and we parted ways without him informing me that I would be expecting any type of invoice, while still informing me that I was covered under warranty. However, three days after service, I received an invoice from Jefferson Electric for $768.00. Perplexed, I contacted them, and a one Philip Field informed me that I had been misled and that they were sorry for the misunderstanding and asked if I would be willing to pay half. I informed Mr. Field that I would not pay because I was under no contractual obligation to do so, and he said okay, I will cancel the invoice. I considered the matter closed until I received a call from the company's owner, Joel Walsman, who basically tried to tell me over the phone that Philip didn't have the authority to dissolve the invoice and that he wanted me to pay something, to which I replied that I might feel comfortable paying for the two service calls totaling $120. Nonetheless, Mr. Walsman seemed bothered by the amount and attempted to counter with $250, which I declined, and he threw a hissy fit on the phone, claiming that I didn't know the business and that he would refuse service to me in the future, at which point I told him the conversation was over. They do good work, but get a quote from them before doing business with them.

One of the drivers this morning was really ridiculous. Driving very close to my bumper. Finally went around me laughing and pulled in front of me. He really needs a lesson of how the big van he is driving is a weapon and he could have hurt many people on this highway. He is representing the company he works for and the company is displayed all over it. I called in and gave the license number and have 2 witnesses. The only way to try to stop this is to let the company know via review as they will not call me back.

Seriously, what an AMAZING experience. I randomly got ahold of them by using a buy 1 hour get an hour free from Angi's list. They talked me through what I wanted and I ended up asking them to do more than I originally thought I'd want. They ended up installing 3 overhead lights and power for an attic fan. They did an AMAZING job. it looks great and works great.

Since I had a great experience with that I had them send me a quote for running the power for my new hot tub along with power for plug in things to the same area. Their bid was VERY reasonable compared to the other two I received. They did great work and came through with the timeline that I needed.

The add on bonus is that they pride themselves in being a partner in the project rather than just DOING the project and man did that shine through. They talked me through my project, gave me some ideas for what I could do differently or better, and it was more like having a friend help you than a business. I could recommend them more!!!!

We had Jefferson Electric out to install electrical for an air conditioner at our church. We received a detailed estimate that was very reasonable and in a timely manner. Nathan communicated often and made sure he had his head around the job before the work began. Not only did they do a good job installing the electrical, but they cleaned in such a way I couldn't even tell someone had been there. If you have any electrical needs in the Indianapolis or Lafayette areas, call Jefferson Electric.

I use Jefferson for all my electrical needs. I’ve used them for repairs, house rewires, remodels, and new construction, and they never disappoint. All of the techs are professional and courteous and will go out of their way to give you a good product. Joel and the team are some of the nicest people you’ll find and I’m very happy to give them my business.

Really good service, the electrician they sent made quick work of everything I needed done and was very friendly

I am so happy with the job that the team did on Friday. All four guys, Jeramiah, James, Matt, and Jake were all very professional, efficient, and collaborative. They are all great and I so appreciate the extra effort put in to getting the additional staff here to get the ceiling fans installed. The Tesla Wall Connector installation went smoothly as well as the rotation of the new breaker box. I will recommend Jefferson Electric to anyone who asks. In fact, I already recommended Jefferson Electric to the staff at Tesla in Indianapolis just yesterday.

Our experience may be an anomaly, but thought I’d at least provide it. We paid JE a premium price for a full house rewire (based on reputation) and received absolutely terrible project management and communication. The project manager would go to great lengths to avoid communicating and to blame others for project delays. Our house was not taken care of during the work (hardwood floors with plaster ground into the grains and cracks) and the scope of work was not completed to our expectations (based on their quote and justification for price). To their credit, the ownership did listen to our concerns after the project and made some efforts to address them. But still left feeling very disappointed and we are working with other companies to fix some of the deficiencies from the JE work.

We hired Jefferson Electric to install solar panels on our detached garage. They navigated us through the regulatory approval process with ease. Once the approvals and permits were obtained, they installed the system quickly. So far, it's working well. Overall they were professional and knowledgeable. I'd choose them again.

I recently bought a house that needed an electrical panel replacement as well as some lights being replaced/installed. Once they began the work, they found a bigger issue with my electrical meter base that they were able to resolve that day. With that curve ball, other electricians had come over to help the one assigned to my house that day and displayed some great teamwork. This team was friendly (after she met other Jefferson employees for the onsite estimate, my realtor even was praising their friendly professionalism), easy to work/communicate with, went above any beyond with each task on the list and their finished work was beyond my expectations. They are DEFINITELY going to be the electrician company I will use for my upcoming additional projects at my new house.

Jefferson was recommended for solar installation by one of their customers in Lafayette. Their proposal for our 52 panel split array was competitive. Scheduling was challenging as we had asphalt shingles replaced with metal roof as a foundation for the panels. The crew that installed the system was A1. Very knowledgeable and friendly. So the panels were finally in place and generating electric Thursday before Labor Day weekend. Friday morning there was no output from either array. When I texted my contact at Jefferson he replied that he was busy and would get back with me later. When 4:00 pm rolled around with no word I called the office and left a message. We are so excited to be investing in renewable energy and so disappoint to be left hanging for a three day weekend. Oh and I will be out of town next week. I’m giving four stars under the assumption that this will get resolved by and by but right now I am so bummed out.

I’ve now had Drew out to my home on two jobs and he’s been courteous, professional, timely, and exceeded expectations both times. My latest job was rerouting a 220 feed to my AC unit. The HVAC company routed the cable through my wall, inside the garage, and then back into a hole under the breaker panel. It was the sloppiest work I’d ever seen. Drew took the time to carefully cut the drywall and route it safely within the wall. I was fully expecting to have a big drywall hole but Drew carefully placed and screwed the drywall back so it requires minimal patching. I can’t recommend these folks enough. I’m planning more work with them.

Jefferson Electric fitted our solar array recently. They are the nicest bunch of guys ever,they are clean, polite, efficient and extremely safety conscious. They are all over your house - attic, basement, garage etc sorting out the system and they are trustworthy and personable. Their prices are good and for the quality of the experience well worth it. If we could give 100 stars we would!

Its been a year 1 year. Jefferson came out did ethernet connections throughout my house installed our tesla charger. They were efficient quick friendly and extremely knowledgeable with their craft. I will be using them again soon.

An all around great experience. The technician (Jeremiah) was friendly, professional, and efficient. He came out for a relatively small job of replacing a shorted out 220 v receptacle, but went the extra mile by examining the breaker panel as well, to ensure there was no additional damage we could not see. Great service, reasonable pricing, excellent work. They won a life long customer today, and we will DEFINITELY be calling them out for our full wiring replacement on our older home in the future.

Honestly, these folks are *the* nicest contractors that I have ever worked with. Every electrician from their company, that has come out to do work, is genuinely nice. We had a significant amount of work done at our house using Jefferson Electric, all of their work was done perfectly! They did a great job of cleaning up after themselves.

My first time using Jefferson Electric and they came highly rated and exceeded my expectations. Sean was able to fix a complicated electrical issue I was having for over two weeks in just one hour. Prices are terrific and I was pleased. Would definitely hire them again and Sean was knowledgeable and very professional!

We had the best experience working with Jefferson Electric! They were patient with our questions, worked with us to find solutions for specific problems on our 100 yr old house, and clearly explained the game plan. They were clean, efficient, friendly, and flexible. We would highly recommend them to anyone!

Jefferson Electric recently installed solar on my rooftop and we are very pleased with the service and communication during the entire process from quote, signing agreement, permitting process, installation and guidance thru getting us operationally set up to generate solar power. We are in our first week of generating solar power and are very excited about the future. Thank you Jefferson Electric !

Jefferson Electric is the only electric company that I would use for any of my projects. I've used their services several times, and have been blown away each time. They're extremely neat, efficient and professional. Joel is someone I can trust and feel safe about when dealing with electrical problems in my home.

We've been delighted both with our panels and with Jefferson Electric. The installation (27 panels) took only one day! Although our Apple router was unfamiliar to them, they made sure to get the connection resolved so that we could monitor our electrical production. Everything has worked perfectly.

I want to start off by saying the electricians that did our work were awesome. Chris and Lucas spent all day doing repairs for selling our house. They were on time, friendly, and professional. They both get 10 stars.

My mixed review is with the office scheduling. I scheduled an estimate several days in advance. Five minutes after the scheduled appt, I got an email saying they couldn't come out. Reluctantly, I rescheduled for that afternoon, but only because we close on our house in 2 weeks, there was no time to wait for another company. We got the estimate and scheduled the repair a week out. I also confirmed the appt 2 days before. The appt rolls around and no one shows up. I called and no answer. They call back 10 minutes later and said they didn't have the whole schedule so they would call me back. They called back and apparently they have two people scheduling or two schedules. He said they didn't get synced up so they didn't have anyone to do our repairs.

I had another repair scheduled the next day, but I had to have the electrical stuff fixed first, so I had to cancel that repair, too. They ended up scheduling for the next morning and got everything done.

Normally, I would just be annoyed, but when you're less than 2 weeks from closing on your house and they don't show up twice in a row, its infuriating.
They did get the job done, but I would have used another company if time had allowed.

When I first called Jefferson for help with our dishwasher (which had no power going to it), I was greeted by Doug. He was incredibly helpful on the phone and realized that we were in a bit of a hurry to get it fixed. He immediately started calling around, seeing if he could get anyone out to help us on the same day I called. This is unheard of - this effort meant the world to us.

Then on our scheduled day, the guy who actually came to help us out (I'm embarrassed to say that I forgot his name) was the nicest dude ever. He tried like ten different solutions to get this stupid dishwasher working (and he finally did!). I was floored to see how determined he was to fix the problem! We had two different companies come out before we called Jefferson and they both looked at it for five minutes, said they couldn't fix it, and left. We were getting pretty frustrated.

It was refreshing to work with a company who really cares about us. We will definitely be calling them FIRST the next time we need an electrician. Thank you for standing out from the crowd and keep up the great work!

Update:
Kudos to Delbert and Brad(?) for trying to solve an unsolvable problem and having the patience to deal with a picky customer. I do wish the new outside GFCI (replaced under warranty from 2 years ago!) had been installed with the cover door opening the direction the original one was because it was easier to access, but after giving him such a hard time about the other issue, I dare not ask. Thank you again for putting up with me.
Original review 2 years ago:
I can only add to the rave reviews about this company. Professional, courteous, timely and reasonably priced. They replaced two outlets, repaired another and added two outside outlets for me.

They lied about the job when the came to inspect my apartment. Told me all the work was going to be at end of the hallway, when I get back they to my surprise they cut through the whole hallway. Doing this got dust and debris all over my apartment, they didn’t bother to put a cover to block debris into adjacent rooms. You’d think you would a least try to care for the persons belongings, when your cutting into something you “forgot” to mention. So what am is saying hire someone else, even if this was a fluke. Its not worth the headache they will give you.

This company is amazing! Every single one of their workers are knowledgeable, pleasant and respectful. Of all the contractors I have had work on our house these are the very best. Their estimates are all itemized and pricing is competitive and fair. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Interacting with Joel was one of the best interactions I have had with anyone in the service industry. He was pleasant and thoroughly educational. He was very prompt and accommodating with my schedule. The entire interaction was refreshing pleasant due to his demeanor and ethical grounding

Great experience! I teach solar and energy storage classes around the world and Jefferson Electric had me come and teach a class for all of their electricians. They really know their stuff! It is rare to find a solar company that does all their work with electricians. They really take pride in their work and are following new safer codes that are not yet enforced in Indiana. Jefferson Electric is also an authorized Tesla installer! Sean White, IREC Trainer of the Year, NABCEP Certified, NABCEP provider, Author

Joel worked on my house twelve years ago and he was amazing! I have seen him grow this company to what it is today. All of the employees exude the same dedication and passion today that Joel had when he started with just a pickup truck!

Jefferson Electric delivers excellent service. The professionalism and customer care displayed by their team will exceed your expectations. No need to look further as you have found the best team for your electrical needs.

Had a issue with lack of power in the garage in certain areas. They were able to come out with in a week and fix the problem in under an hour time. Really nice people work here and they all communicated well. I will use these guys for the future and do recommend their service. They were also cheaper than most.

One of their drivers just about ran my wife off the road in Greenwood on 135, and was laughing about it. I hope they don’t do work like they drive. This is terrible!!

Thanks again! These guys were excellent. They upgraded my electric service to 200 amps with ease and fixed a couple other issues that they spotted in my old house. I’m definitely gonna go back to them :)

Excellent company! Always on time, always reasonable, always personable. They have done a lot of electrical work in my older home, and for many of my friends, neighbors and clients as well. All give them high reviews. Rich C.

Best electricians in Indy. Fast, affordable and friendly - highly recommended!

Jefferson Electric is my go to company for all my electrical needs. They explain things to my understanding, offer options where appropriate and are ver professional. Highly recommend this company!

Fast, friendly staff. Really fair prices. Called for the free estimate. Ended up having Joel do the work. Couldn't be happier.

These guys were prompt, professional, honest, and just did a great job.

They did a great job with our home.
