Kim5/5
We’ve had Justin out to our home twice to install several lights. He was excellent! He is professional, on time, and very reasonably priced. I referred him onto my sister and she said the same. Two thumbs up…or perhaps that’s four thumbs up! 👍

M.5/5
I have used Always Quality Electrical for the past four years, and I would not call anyone else. Justin is an excellent electrician—knowledgeable, professional, considerate, and fairly priced. I especially appreciate that he texts before arriving with an estimated time of arrival, which gives me time to kennel my dog before he gets to my home.
Over the years, Justin has replaced the ceiling fan in my bedroom, the bathroom fan, and most recently, the fan in my family room. The latest project was a bit more complicated because the first fan I purchased from Lowe’s turned out to be damaged. The motor housing was dented, and it appeared the fan had previously been opened and repackaged. Although I was told at checkout that the box had not been opened, it clearly had been, so I returned it.
I then ordered a replacement fan with a remote from Amazon. When I asked Justin which manufacturers he recommended, he suggested Kichler along with a few other quality brands. Justin installed the fan, set up the remote, and made sure everything worked beautifully. I now have a wonderful new fan in my family room.
I am extremely satisfied with Always Quality Electrical and with Justin’s workmanship. He is reliable, skilled, thoughtful, and easy to work with. I would absolutely recommend him and will definitely call him again for any future electrical work.

Joe5/5
Three friends recommended to me Always Quality Electrical/Justin Hartinger. Justin rebuilt the breaker box, installed a 240V circuit for a PHEV, and added 3 outlets, all while I peppered him with questions about my new-to-me 42-year old house. He arrived on time, was pleasant and professional, worked quickly, and left the job site cleaner than when he arrived. Without reservation I recommend AQE.

R5/5
Justin showed up on time with plenty of notifications prior to arrival. He fixed everything I asked him to fix plus an extra outlet that was loose. He is patient, explained things well, and had the materials he needed with him. Price was reasonable and the job was completed quickly. He is the electrician we will call when the time comes again. Highly recommend.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review! It was a pleasure working with you. I'm glad I was able to take care of the electrical repairs and address the additional outlet issue while I was there. I believe good communication, arriving prepared, and taking the time to explain the work are just as important as the repair itself, so your comments truly mean a lot. Thank you for recognizing the effort to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Our outdoor lighting was down. Justin was very responsive after receiving my call, and he arrived at our property within an hour. Justin was knowledgeable about his work, and he was able to identify the problem and fix it quickly. We are very pleased about Justin’s work, and highly recommend him.
