Leija Electric

Leija Electric operates as a licensed electrician serving San Antonio and the surrounding metro area in Texas. The company focuses on both residential and commercial electrical needs with a veteran-owned and family-run structure that keeps a licensed electrician on every job. They emphasize owner involvement from the start with a written quote provided before work begins and warranties that cover parts and labor for five years up to lifetime on installs. This setup supports steady work across the city where older homes and growing commercial spots create regular demand for reliable electrical fixes without unnecessary delays or surprises.

They handle panel repairs and upgrades along with full wiring jobs, outlet and switch replacements, code corrections, and generator installs. Emergency calls get direct response from a real person rather than automated systems, as seen when an electrical fire hit a main circuit breaker panel at one in the morning and a technician arrived by seven thirty to assess parts needed after the fire department and utility crew secured the site. Commercial property repairs get the same attention, with owners like Leo Guerrero Jr stepping in for consultations on complex issues even when residential work is not the main focus. Crews coordinate around customer schedules and keep jobs moving without treating the work like just another ticket.

Customers consistently note the quick turnaround on urgent calls, clear communication that respects real-life constraints, solid quality on repairs that hold up, and straightforward pricing from an honest operation. Reviews highlight respectful technicians who treat homeowners as people rather than tasks, along with reliable follow-through on both residential fixes and commercial properties that builds trust over repeat jobs. This approach earns steady feedback on getting the job done right the first time in a city with frequent weather-related electrical issues. DIRT Score 3.87 from 16 reviews on Finds.

“This is a highly professional company and there employees are respectful and treat you like a person not a job. For my particular work order, they were willing to work with me and around my situation. I recommend utilizing this company for your electrical repairs or needs.”

“Owner of this company, Leo Guerrero Jr, is an exceptionally knowledgeable and diligent man. It’s my understanding he doesn’t mainly work with residential electrical concerns; however, some time ago, when me and my parents had an electrical concern, his consultation was invaluable. Thank you Leo!”

“J&L Electric completed another repair at our commercial property today. J&L is the ONLY company I can TRUST and count on in San Antonio. They are a family owned business that is honest and reliable. If you are also a family owned business, I highly recommend these folks. I have worked closely with Barbara and Aaron and I will always go to them first because I know they will NOT lie or steal from me like other high-voltage companies do in San Antonio. I highly recommend J&L and advise folks to proceed with extreme caution dealing other electrical companies in San Antonio (glad to tell you who they are if you message me privately).”

“Last week we had an electrical fire at the main circuit breaker panel at 1 in the morning. The fire dept came with CPS. CPS cut the wires to my house and pulled the meter. My wife called J & L Electric before 7 am. By 7:30, an electrician was over telling his office what parts were required. Besides the repairs, the electrical feed had to be brought up to code. By 9 or so, 2 electricians were at my house to replace the whole electrical feed. This included the pole, meter box, circuit breaker panel and a accessory box for the A/C. The men worked non-stop till 9 pm. There was a delay getting CPS over because the city had not inspected the work. Mr. Guerrero, the owner of J & L, got with a super at CPS and explained there were 2 elderly people and 3 young girls at my home. Waiting till the following week for the inspection was not going to work. CPS relented and power was restored around 9 pm. J & L Electric came through for us quickly and efficently. Plus the bill was very reasonable considering how many hours they worked. They will be my electricians from now on. I highly recommend them for any electrical job, large or small.”

“Have a new rambunctious pup who chewed away the wires on my grinder pump - threatening a major full-on sewer backup/flood. Aaron took my call, understanding the immediate urgency. They were here in less than an hour and took care of it in under half an hour. Phenomenal service. Down to earth. Know their stuff. Will definitely be calling them again.”
