"Our 1970s fuse box was long overdue for an upgrade. JJC Electric replaced it with a modern 200-amp breaker panel. They labeled every circuit, replaced the meter base, and passed inspection on the first try. Should have done this years ago."
"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."
"JJC Electric installed a Level 2 charger in our garage for the new Tesla. They ran a dedicated 50-amp circuit from the panel, mounted the charger exactly where we wanted it, and tested everything before leaving. Car charges overnight now. Perfect."
