If I could give Jim 10 stars, I would without hesitation. He is responsive, professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly efficient. Jim dropped what he was doing to help me during a dire situation and spent two days diagnosing and repairing a damaged underground power line. I could not be more impressed with Jim or the quality of his work. If you need an electrician, Light and Plug is the only place to call. After this experience, I will not work with anyone else. Thank you, Jim!
Jim came minutes after calling him to fix a defective outlet. Job was done in minutes with no extra charge for coming on a holiday.
Jim is amazing. I had 3 professionals attempt to diagnose the problem with my dryer, to no avail. Jim came out on the day I called, did a thorough assessment and found the problem quickly, and repaired it correctly. He’s knowledgeable, communicative and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!
I have used light & plug multiple times. Every time Jim is honest in his assessment of what needs to be done. He’s very knowledgeable and he provides multiple options to keep costs down but still do great work!
Jim helped a lot with my electrical needs. Highly recommend. Will be asking him for help with future jobs.
