About
I’m John, owner of Jupiter Electric, serving the Monterey County area. With 20 years of hands-on experience in electrical and technology services, I focus on safe, reliable work and clear communication from start to finish.
As a licensed Electrical Contractor, I personally handle every job, from lighting and fan installations to wiring, outlets, circuit breaker panels, and repairs. Being a one-person business means you work directly with the pro doing the work, not a rotating crew.
My goal is simple: do it right the first time, meet code, and leave your home or business better than I found it. If you’re looking for an electrician you can trust to show up, explain your options, and stand behind the work, let’s talk about your project.

I had an issue in an AirBnb regarding a motion-sensor light switch. In other words, waking up at 2am to use the bathroom meant being flooded with obnoxiously bright light. John responded to my Thumbtack reach out within minutes; showed up the next day; arrived on time; was friendly, professional and replaced both the light and fan switches with manual ones in about 20 minutes. Amazing! I can now rest assured, so to speak, and can wholeheartedly recommend Jupiter Electric to anyone who needs them.
Details: Yes, there is existing wiring • Replace switch or outlet • 2 switches or outlets • Rooms with water access, like the kitchen • Drywall • Condo or apartment • Renter, with owner's permission to do this job

A huge thank you to Jupiter Electric for installing two beautiful ceiling fans in our chapel. The workmanship was excellent, and I was especially impressed by how well they matched the fans with the chapel's décor. Their attention to detail made a noticeable difference, and the finished result looks amazing. I highly recommend Jupiter Electric to anyone looking for quality service. Thank you again!
Details: No, the location does not have an existing fan or light fixture • Ceiling • Over 14 feet (lofty ceiling)

Jupiter Electric did a fantastic job! They were prompt, efficient, attentive to detail, and thoroughly cleaned up after installing two light fixtures for me. I would engage them again for any future projects.
John from Jupiter Electric was a pleasure to work with. Excellent communication, punctual and he diagnosed and fixed our problem with a porch light fixture. Highly recommended.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing includes a $260 minimum for labor plus materials. A $75 service fee is required for site visits, which covers travel and assessment time. If you move forward with the work, that fee is credited toward the total cost. Payment is due upon completion of the job.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Once approved, I schedule the job and complete the work efficiently while maintaining a clean and safe jobsite. I communicate throughout the project and review the completed work with you at the end. Payment is due upon completion of the agreed scope of work.
