About Us

Rooted in Tradition, Committed to Quality

Founded by Einner “Lucky” Jensen and Jim Mertz, J M Electric has been brightening lives along the Central Coast for over 75 years. The initials in our name stand for these two pioneering spirits who began our journey. Einner, affectionately known as “Lucky,” loved this work and was grateful for every moment. This shaped our company and our family philosophy. 

Our story spans three generations and resonates with a sense of pride and gratitude. As a family-owned company, we’ve woven a rich tapestry of trust, quality, and commitment in the industry; evident in the services we offer today.

Our Team

At J M Electric, our greatest asset is our team, many of whom have been with us for decades. Our electricians are not just employees; they are part of the J M family. Skilled and certified, they are members of the IBEW Local Union 234, reflecting our commitment to supporting local talent and industry.

Our Commitment

While we strive to offer competitive prices, our primary focus is to deliver the lowest cost to our customers. As Red Adair, the famed oil well firefighter, once said, “If you think it’s expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur.” This quote sums up our commitment to quality. We believe in providing value that goes beyond the price tag—it’s about giving you peace of mind knowing that the job will be done right the first time.
