I'm writing this follow-up because Drew's defensive response to our original review on August 26th was both disappointing and unprofessional. Instead of addressing our concerns, he chose to deflect them. I want to be clear about why we left the review in the first place: to share our experience honestly and to warn potential customers about what they may encounter if they choose to hire Just Installed Now. We recently hired Just Installed Now to install a mini split. However, the unit never cooled properly--it only blew warm air. Drew's "solution" was to suggest I call a contact of his to add refrigerant. When I brought in a separate licensed technician, the issue was obvious: the valves had never been opened during installation. Cost of original work: $1,050. At the same time, Drew was also hired to install two ceiling fans (one ordered from Amazon, one from Decorprice). Both shook and wobbled immediately after they were wired. I had to point this out to Drew, who seemed unaware of the problem. He blamed the manufacturers and offered to return once new fans were ordered. After repeated delays and difficulty getting him back, I replaced them myself--only to discover the original fans had been installed incorrectly. Cost of original work: $775. And although the work was completed nearly a year ago, we only recently discovered serious safety concerns with the two subpanels Drew claimed to have "replaced." Instead of properly installing new panel boxes as invoiced, he only swapped out the internals--likely because the new boxes didn't fit between the existing studs. Rather than doing the job correctly by opening up the wall and making space, he took the easiest shortcut and left us with sloppy, unsafe work. On top of that, he wrapped multiple grounding wires together under a single terminal and reused mismatched breakers--including some not compatible with the "new" Eaton panel. The result was not only misleading and overpriced, but a clear safety hazard. Cost of this poor work: $2,100. It's also worth noting that Drew became increasingly unreliable with scheduling--often arriving late or not showing up at all. This wasn't an issue early on, but by the end it became a consistent and frustrating pattern. I don't normally leave reviews, but this pattern was impossible to ignore. What we experienced was overpriced, careless, and unsafe work. For anyone considering hiring Just Installed Now, be warned: there are far better, more reliable, and safer options available. read more

Had a mini split installed and 2 ceiling fans (my husband had to reinstall 1 fan himself because he said it wasn't done properly), there was an issue with the light switch wiring also in one room. After a couple of weeks we had an appointment for them to come fix the issues with the service and they cancelled only after we texted to see where they were today, literally no communication - super hard to get a response from in order to have a follow up in the first place. Now we have to pay another company to redo the work we already paid for to fix improperly installed AC , over $1800 wasted. read more

The property management company for a complex in which I own a condo contracted with Just Installed Now to replace failing 1970s vintage electric panels in the units. Just Installed made several quotes depending on the owner's situation. My unit had a scope of work that included moving the panel to meet new code requirements in addition to swapping out the panels. Turned out "Drew" did not move the panel as it apparently was in an approved location. When I asked for a refund of this portion, he flatly refused. read more

We had one of our main breakers go out in our electrical panel and couldn't use any power in the house. Drew came out with an hours of calling through our home warranty to look at the electrical panel as we were having loss of electricity in our home. He was very friendly and addressed the problem quickly. Service was awesome and the price was covered by our home warranty so great value paying our trip charge. Will definitely use them again for other projects in the future. read more

I contacted them through yelp and they responded very quickly that day on a Saturday. They were able to come Monday and morning and help me with my electrical issue of replacing the outlet and wires in my living room. Drew was very kind, friendly, explained what was wrong in detail for me. He was very thorough and did it fairly quickly. It's nice to have an electrical company to call now when something goes wrong. Thank you ! read more

Drew originally came out to my house for a site survey for my additional solar and additional battery installation in early 2022. I talked to Drew explaining what I was hoping to get from the additional installation. Fast forward almost an entire year and after all permitting and all the other hoops that one has to jump through to get solar Drew returned to finally install both the battery and solar. Once Drew arrived he remembered me and my request and he reassured me that he was still going to meet my request and that there should be no issues with the installation. Drew did exactly that and delivered what he promised and I am super happy with his work and his customer service. read more

We have used just installed now electric on my brothers house a couple of years ago. And recently , our solar system at my property had stopped working. We have them come out and they changed out the old parts getting the system back up and running better than when it first was installed. We had 3 other companies come out and try to sell us a new system. But with just installed now, they recommended just changing the faulty parts and got us up and running for so much less cost than their competitors. Thank you again for helping us with our solar system. I recommend them read more

Hands down the best electrical company in San Diego. Want exceptional service and great pricing, hit these guys up. Jasson and Andrew have been in the electrical business for years!! They are true experts. I called them To install an electrical panel and all the wiring for my barbershop. At first, they told me about their years and experience. Of course everyone is skeptical at first. But once they got the ball rolling, they didn't stop until the work was completed and to my satisfaction!!! They also use nothing but the best products to ensure the work is done correctly the first time. Highly recommend to everyone!!! Tell them Nixon sent ya. read more

On Oct 9 2023 I used my Fidelity National home policy to fix a circuit breaker which made back yard lites inoperable for past 20 years because the last electrician could not figure out the problem. Owner Drew came out and fixed in 10 minutes and even went the distance to seal up a couple of electrical piping holes to seal out moisture at no extra charge. I was so impressed with his honesty that I had him write up estimates for some additional work soon. Great guy, smart and MOST importantly HONEST!!! FIVE STAR. Mike Marshall/Carlsbad, Ca read more

Highly recommend Drew and Just Installed Now. Our landscapers installed an outside outlet on Friday and all of our bathrooms outlets stopped working. They couldn't figure out the problem. So they called Drew and amazingly, he said he would come out on Sunday! Drew is friendly and personable, and so incredibly knowledgable. He asked questions, he explained things, and kept coming up with one more thing he wanted to try to find the problem. And he did. Drew knows his stuff. We recommend without hesitation. read more

I have a Sears Home Warranty and Just Installed Now was dispatched. I wasn't expecting somebody to contact me before my scheduled date but Drew was on it. He came and had my wiring problem fixed fast. Remember that everybody's problems are different so response times and work times may vary. I would absolutely recommend this company for any further jobs. When contacting my warranty company for further electrical work, I will be requesting Just Installed Now. read more

We had a few electrical issues going on in our home and were in need of some electrical work. Going into the holiday weekend, we were not sure if we would be able to get an appointment scheduled. We called on a Friday and we're scheduled right away. Over the weekend a sooner time was available and we were asked if we would like that appointment- OF Course! The repair personnel showed up on time and was so polite. We discussed the issues that were had and one by one the process was explained as to why we might be having the issue then of course he fixed everything perfectly. Could not have asked for a better service! Thank you so much!!! read more

A+++ service, excellent rapport, excellent troubleshooting skillset, highly communicative, efficient and fast work I had a dead outlet since I moved I to the home and it was traced to poor wiring worksmanship. Itwas not easy to debug simply by observation. After tracing the electrical lines it was discovered to have badly wired branch in an obscure electrical box. Thanks so much! He has a wonderful and adorable partner that sits next to him in the service vehicle, Leiah (a baby Alaskan Husky) Also to add I've scheduled for 2 additional projects to be done because of the impressive work. read more

Absolutely WONDERFUL!!! From the first interaction with them (initial inspection) to the repairs the technician was FANTASTIC! We have 2 rescue dogs and he was completely unfazed by their barking and general fear of a new person in THEIR house. He was so informative and kept us "in the loop" about what was going on and what he needed to do. Will be calling them for any electrical issues again! True 5 star service read more

We needed a 240 volt outlet installed for an electric car charger as well as a panel upgrade to accommodate it. We also had some flickering throughout one side of our house. Drew came and did everything quickly and professionally. He diagnosed the flickering as being caused by some previous work we had done and fixed it in the process of upgrading the panel. Will absolutely use them in the future and recommend them to anyone. read more

Drew was fantastic. Clean and professional. Went above and beyond with my install. I couldn't recommend him enough

Had a lot of work done by Andrew and crew. Solar, whole patio enclosure, whole outdoor bar and bbq area, and plenty additional. They surpassed expectations and took care of any problems that arose. I highly recommend! read more

Drew is the Chief Estimator and Electrician who answered our service call - which turned out to be a major sub panel failure. He explained the problem and showed us the burned fuses and fuse box. He also worked with our home warranty company, Fidelity National. He was able to get us back on line during the heat wave and then returned to replace the sub panel. He did the work needed on time and for a fair market price. We also engaged him to replace the second sub panel and install a large ceiling fan in our great room, which has a vaulted ceiling, and lighting in another room that we decided to renovate - partly made possible because we found this reliable electrical company. JIN Electric has our confidence and we give them our strongest recommendation. For our safety, he wore a mask. read more

Disappointed in these contractors. I originally gave them a great review, but after I was informed their work is not up to code. That expectation is that all electrical wiring run through the studs behind walls must be protect with a metal plate to prevent someone from nailing something in by accident and starting a fire. I informed Andrew McGuire - the electrician and owner of JIN Electric. He responded "it's not my job to protect the electrical wires. That's the job of the drywaller." This response was what changed my view of this business. (1) Electric codes and standards for electricians are established to ensure the electrical work is safe for consumers. To just point fingers that it's the non-electricians job to know the electrical code makes absolutely no sense. How does a drywaller who is not educated in electrical work, know to protect electrical wires? Would that make sense to anyone. (2) Andrew McGuire then indicated I requested a partial refund of my payment because I'm cheap. Well he stated the metal wall plate costs $3 at Home Depot to ensure the wires are protected and that I should have just installed it myself. Well HOW THE HELL DO I - A LAY CONSUMER - know to tell a drywaller to install a metal plate when I am not a licensed electrician? I requested a partial refund in order to have the drywall re-done. I had agreed to get a drywaller to patch the holes from adding the outlets, but to go back in to re-add those $3 metal plates, I'd have to pay the drywaller all over again. So who in the end is the cheap person? If he - the electrician knew metal plates only costs $3 - wouldn't he have wanted to add it to ensure his work is up to code or at least told me it was required. If it was his oversight, shouldn't he accept responsibility and pony up the money to ha e his oversight fixed? (3) He tells me he already did $300 of free labor and shouldn't owe me a partial refund. Well the free labor he did was rotate on pair of light switches. He initially quote me for $50 per switch. It's somehow now $300 worth of work. In addition, he told me my payment for that "free labor" would be a 5 star review on Yelp. I did give him a 5 star review initially, so consider his "free labor" paid for. Honestly, if Andrew McGuire and JIN Electric want to be professional and ensure the safety of their clients, just approve my request for a partial refund of $300 of the $1050 I paid. That's the equivalent of the work for two outlets - $150/outlet for 7 outlets. I am not requesting a refund for the entire job. It covers for the drywall work to get done again. read more

As a woman it's really hard to find someone who is not going to take advantage of the situation because I don't know what needs to be done and how long it'll take. I needed track lighting to help my salon become brighter. Jason came to my hair salon in el Cajon and explained to me that Jin Electric only uses quality materials to get the job done right. He explained every detail step by step and made me feel extremely comfortable with what was going to be done. He even stayed over night to finish everything and wasn't willing to receive payment until I was satisfied with the work. Great customer service, oustanding work, great pricing. Highly recommend!! read more

We contacted my home warranty provider about some electrical issues we were having with our intercom and a ceiling fan. Fortunately for me they sent JIN Electric. Our technician Drew had 19 years of experience. He was highly capable and worked quickly, providing clear information. He explained options including solutions to both issues that were the most cost effective. He offered to fix the improperly wired fixture at a reasonable cost. He also explained how the remote for the fan could be purchased and how to reprogram it for our fan. Then provided photos of fan internals needed to order the part and program it. I couldn't be happier with the service. read more

Drew is downright delightful! Real information from a Real person and the breadth and knowledge this man possesses is mind boggling . He dialed in my whole house fan (which was having problems staying open) and took the time to pepper me with all kinds of useful information ranging from solar energy panels all the way down to electrical panels and many items in between. Before he left he sent me a couple of referral sources -- this was appreciated greatly! What struck me most was Drew's genuine spirit and effective and effusive personal energy. May GOD bless this wonderful man and his business and I recommend this company without any sort of hesitation whatsoever! read more

After another home warranty recommended company spent 4 hours over 2 days at my mobile home without finding a reason my power had been out in 1/2 my home for weeks, Drew spent 10 minutes and left me with fully functional electricity. Amazing service, polite, professional, mask compliant plus he knew his stuff inside and out. Highly recommend and will insist on Jin for any future needs! read more

So far we are very impressed! Drew responded to our call quickly, and came out within a couple of days. He identified the problem and fixed it in one visit. We had another "solar" electrician come a few months ago who charged us $350, told us the system is working, and left. The system was NOT working, and Drew found evidence that the guy never even opened the panel on the inverter!! We are thrilled with Drew and ready to sign up for the service warranty because he knows what he is doing, and because it is impossible to find anyone else who knows what they are doing and provide support!! We highly recommend Just Installed Now. read more

As I have mentioned in some of my past reviews, work ethics, integrity and honesty are hard to come by in this day and age with a lot of contractors. Not with Drew and "Just Installed Now". Drew is a fantastic master electrician with knowledge, professionalism and courteous. I would definitely recommend Drew with any and all of your electrical needs. read more

I happened to see a Just Installed Now work truck in my neighborhood just when I needed electrical work. I decided I'd call the number on the truck. They said they would be available to help me as soon as they were finished with the current call. Drew came out quickly, solved the problem within 30 minutes, and I was back up and working again. Very happy with his attention to detail and quick action. I highly recommend Just Installed Now! read more
