"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."
"Excellent service, fixed issue and advised on other issues that I decided to address on the spot. Very helpful."
"We had flickering lights throughout the house and two outlets that stopped working. JJC Electric traced the problem to a loose connection in the panel, tightened everything up, and replaced the damaged outlets. Problem solved in one visit."
