"J&I was hired to mitigate the aluminum wiring in my home by installing Alumiconn connectors in all electrical boxes. This work proceeded without a hitch as J&I had previous experience with Alumiconn connectors. J&I also always arrived at the work site on time, cleaned the work area after completing the work and provided detailed invoices showing labor and materials."

"Andy & his crew do excellent work at a very good price plus they have a wide range of talents. Do not hesitate to hire them! They just finished installing stereo speakers inside the ceilings of my house plus amps & now I will ask them fix all my electrical issues. It might sound as if Iâ m related to them but Iâ m not(!) just very impressed w/ the whole ACT team & their work. Plus Andy is on call if needed to troubleshoot your new system if needed. Highly recommended."
