★★★★★

"JJC Electric is professional, responds quickly, and pricing is reasonable. They installed a new outlet and light switch for us and the work was done right the first time. Would definitely hire again."

★★★★★

"Had a whole-house surge protector installed after lightning took out our refrigerator and TV. JJC Electric put in a panel-mount unit and tested every circuit. Affordable protection and the install took less than an hour."

— Kenneth R.
★★★★★

"Panel upgrade from 100-amp to 200-amp. The old panel was a Federal Pacific which our home inspector flagged as a fire hazard. JJC Electric swapped it out in one day and everything is up to code now. Very professional crew."
