Interstate Electric and Solar

The power outage Thursday June 22, 2023 left us without 4 breakers. Justin responded via yelp within 10 minutes at 9pm Friday. He came out Saturday morning for a consultation. Informed us that our whole breaker panel hasn't been updated in 20 years. He came back the following Tuesday to replace the new breaker panel. He is very nice, personable and extremely informative. I highly recommend him.

Had justin do work for us updating our electrical box a number of years ago and haven't had any issues with it! He even labeled everything so it's easy to turn things off without having to test every switch.

I love that he genuinely cares about his customers. We don't have any smoke or carbon dioxide detectors in our home so he suggested that we get those in, offering many different options that you could tell that it's wasn't about making him money, he just believes that they are important to have. It's just nice to have someone who isn't always like this is what you have to do  but is willing to give options and work with the customers so there can be something that would be better for their own situation. This is the type of business practice that makes it feel like you're family.

Justin left such an impact with his professionalism, upbeat personality, and quality work that I wouldn't even consider another company.

I live in a little ranch built in the 1950's. There are a lot of odd ball things about my home, but I love it. I wanted to have ceiling fans installed, but the fixtures were on the wall I stead of the ceiling, and I have no attic. I got recommendations for an electrician from Home Depot, and they gave me the contact info for Justin at Interstate. He's amazing. Not only did he do a fantastic job on the ceiling fans, but he gave me great recs for brands of fans, and what to look for. He was prompt, very professional, and worth every penny. He's got the job at my house from now on!

Does this business even exist anymore?
We had our entire house redone by interstate.  Then, after the pandemic, while we were accepting bids for a new solar system, I emailed and emailed, and even called.  But, I got no response.  Even the crickets were wearing tombstones.
I feared the worst.
Then, yesterday, I saw your van, parked outside of a Southwest Denver metro house, just West of Simms.
Can it be, you're out of the coma?
Well, that sure would suck.  Because we just paid for the new solar system, which I had initially intended to buy from you.
Great to have you back.  Maybe next time.

Justin arrived within 60 minutes when I called after finding a live-wire in the yard. After looking over the electric system in the older home that I had just purchased he said it was in terrible shape. I have a pool, hot tub and hot water solar system so it's a pretty extensive system with 3 panels. Justin and Brook worked non-stop for days until my electric panels were running again and all my questions were answered. I will be using them for everything in my home plus my parent's and children's too.
Thanks Justin and Brook!!

Justin was awesome. We had a lot of work to be done on our house and he took us through everything step by step, explained all of our options and did a great job. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Prompt and efficient work was done at our home to secure an issue that was not an immediate emergency but could have become one if left neglected. Prevention tips where given going forward as well.
Thank you IES.

Justin showed up on time and addressed our issue right away. I called for service last night and though they could have come out last night, I told them it was not an emergency and some other day was fine. They scheduled my appointment for the next day at 9am which was a relief that they could come out so quickly.

I was so impressed that I decided to sign up for their whole home energy survey so that I can better understand how well (or not) my home is doing with regards to the electrical.

Really happy I found a skilled, reasonably priced electrician.

It was a last minute panic looking for an electrician for my bathroom light fixtures. It was 9am on a Saturday when I called and Justin came to my house few hours later at 12. He was very professional. He rewired one electrical box into two for my 2 light fixtures and installed a can LED light above the bathtub. He did an excellent job. I would highly recommend him.

Needed a second opinion and so glad we did! Justin saved us hundreds of dollars on a problem that wasn't actually there, and an easier fix than someone else inspected . Thank you!! He was honest, knowledgeable, and won't take advantage of you. Will be using again!

Had a new swamp cooler installed and Justin was the electrician on the crew.  He noted there was a 20amp breaker installed in my electrical panel where a 15amp breaker should have been installed.  He told me about it, swapped it out with a brand new 15 amp, and gave me back the replaced breaker.  Job was done perfectly, quickly and professionally.  IEandS get my full endorsement; Justin was professional and courteous and I will definitely call him back for any future electrical needs.
Thank-you Justin!

Excellent electrician. Justin arrived promptly, was polite and respectable. In no time at all he located the issue along with recommending some advice on the overall system. His prices were cheaper than competitors and he was honest about his work.

In this day and age, an honest specialist is hard to find and if I ever have any electrical work done he'll be the first on my list to call.

Justin did such a great job on a bunch of electrical work that needed to be done and offered us fair pricing. I appreciate that he used quality material and thoroughly explained the work and the process. Also, I've never seen a box where the electrician took the time to print-label the circuits. I've built a brand new home previous and the builder wrote everything with a magic marker that was barely legible. I plan to bring Justin back for some more electrical work that needs to be done around the house. Super polite and super friendly. I also appreciate that he is a veteran.

Had an emergency and Justin was there in no time.  Found out someone above was watching out for us and just missed a house fire because Justin was out so fast.  He was SOOOO  knowledgeable on the procedure that needed to be done and all the codes that go along with it.  He taught us a lot and got our house running safely again.  Not sure we would have a house today if it was not for Justin, his timeliness and his knowledge. Thank you Justin!

I had Justin out to give me a quote on installing an outlet to support an electric car charger.  While he's probably a decent electrician and seemed very knowledgeable, he doesn't seem to have much of an appreciation for the practical.  His website stresses that he adheres to code, and he's not kidding.  He basically wanted to upgrade my entire electrical system to modern code even for a relatively small job.  Is that ideal?  Sure.  Is it practical?  Not often.

Three other electricians quoted me around $400 to $600 for my job, and Justin's quote was around ten times that ($4000ish for upgrading my panel and $1500ish for the outlet install).  The other three I talked to didn't feel that upgrading the panel made sense, and obviously their cost for the outlet install was far lower, too.

On top of that, he wanted to charge me $79 for coming out to give me a quote.  He insisted that his website, Yelp listing, and office staff would have informed me of this, but looking over both of the former yields no mention of this at all, and his staff didn't mention it on the phone or email.  When I showed him his own website on my phone and asked him to point out the note about the trip fee, he apologized and said that his marketing guy must have taken that part down.  What's more, the replies to my Yelp request came from Justin but apparently came from his staff instead.  He had no idea of the conversation at all.

So, in summary, I won't completely discourage anyone from calling IEandS, but definitely know that he's going to charge you just to give you a quote, and be sure to contact some other electricians to get some second opinions.

Yesterday, Justin completed work he had quoted me a few months ago (delayed due to my schedule), and I am completely happy with the results.  He is knowledgeable, professional, kind, honest, friendly and respectful.  A true class act in every regard. I knew from my first interaction with him that he would be the one I would have do the work.  I highly recommend Justin for any residential electrical work you may need.

I needed a few electrical things fixed before I could sell my house.  Justin was very responsive, professional and was great with my dog.  He did a great job and was very quick.  I would recommend Interstate Electric and would use them again if I needed to.

Justin is one of the most knowledgeable electricians I have met. He came out on short notice on a Saturday to fix a circuit breaker and had it up and running in under an hour. He and his company are very customer-oriented, friendly, and respectful. He has my highest recommendation and he will definitely be the one we call with electrical issues in the future.

Every aspect of my interaction with Justin was terrific. He replied quickly to my Yelp request for a quote and I was able to easily schedule an appointment that worked with my schedule. He arrived just before our scheduled appointment time and he got to work quickly. He explained everything that needed to be done and took extra care to explain the preventative maintenance my electrical system required so I could prevent costly repairs down the road. I definitely will not hesitate to call Interstate Electric and Solar next time I need an electrician.

I contacted Justin for an appointment which in the end I didn't need to schedule.  He quickly replied to my request for a quote with a suggestion to resolve the problem and nailed it.  I really appreciate the help and on a Saturday afternoon too.  Much thanks!

We have worked with Justin a few times now and originally found him based on his awesome reviews! We're so grateful we did because words do not put in perspective how great it's been to have someone we trust who also knows the electric throughout our house to come out if we want a new fixture installed, recently it's been more new fixtures that require him wiring a new box etc or our upcoming projects that include solar fans to keep air moving and overall a better temperature throughout the house or an entire electrical overhaul like we needed originally. He's always punctual, always responds quickly, always nice, spends extra time with us making sure we understand electrical lingo, would highly recommend!

We received exceptional service from Justin with Interstate Electric & Solar!  After we lost power to our entire condo late on a Sunday night, he was extremely responsive and able to squeeze us in asap.  He was extremely knowledgeable and we felt his prices were more reasonable than other quotes we received. He left us with some helpful tips on electrical safety and, most importantly, our lights are back on!

Woke up the day before yesterday to no hot water.  After some preliminary testing, I concluded there was an issue with the circuit feeding a few outlets and the water heater.   Given that I could not locate the fault and that the breaker had not tripped, I concluded it was time to call a professional.  Based on Yelp reviews, I reached out to Justin late in the evening.  He replied the next morning and we set an afternoon appointment.  Justin arrived on time and was extremely courteous and knowledgeable.  He was able to trace down the root cause of my issue (buried GFCI, thanks builder...) and restored the hot water.  I couldn't be happier with Justin's work.  Highly recommend him.

Justin was so knowledgeable and informative about several various projects in our home. He was timely and affordable and just really knew so much. He made us feel so comfortable and safe with the wonky electric issues in our newly purchased home and he gave us some great tips on maintaining our older systems.

Justin made quick work of 2 ceiling fan installations in my new house. In less than two hours, he installed both, explained how to use them, and even managed to squeeze in a discussion about how to take care of my new house and a chat about video games! The entire transaction, from setting up the appointment, explaining the costs (very competitive, especially with two fans), to the installation itself was a good experience. There was a little issue with scheduling but it worked out well and I'm glad to have two ceiling fans up and working, thanks to Interstate Electric and Solar. Definitely recommend them!

My job had issues with the lights and this place was the only one to answer their phone. Justin arrived so quickly and got everything taken care. He was super kind and walked me through everything.

I had an issue with my circuit panel that needed quick attention.  Talked to Justin on the phone and explained the issue and he was able to come out the same day and make the repair.  I found Justin professional and thorough.  Took the time to explain what he was doing and why and was clear about charges.  I will use Justin again when the time comes.

I requested a quote a Yelp and Justin had messaged me within 5 minutes and was at my home the next day. Justin is very friendly, and willing to share his knowledge. He's my new electrician going forward. Don't hesitate to contact him.

Justin installed an antique pendant chandelier replacing a recessed canned light. Part of the challenge was attaching the downrod of a fixture which has not had complementary hardware manufactured in half a century or more. The entire time he was professional and respectful, not just towards me but towards the home in which he was working.

In a nutshell--look no further than Justin and Interstate Electric and Solar for your electric service needs. [And don't waste your time with those OTHER companies that come to the top of a web search and which will only overcharge you for the most basic item.]

We called Interstate when we noticed our breaker box smoking while running the dryer. The owner (Justin) answered his phone at 9PM and made a late night house call. He made our home safe for the night and gave us a quote to fix the problem. We called 3 other electricians and Interstate's quote EASILY beat all competitors. Not to mention they were very professional and used brand-name components. Justin made it a point to describe everything that needed to be done, and the reason. Very pleased with the service. We will be using interstate in the future for all of our electrical needs.

I am giving Interstate Electric and Solar a solid 5 star review (Rarely do I give 5 star reviews).  Justin did an outstanding job installing a ceiling fan and electrical outlet in my home. Justin was pleasant, reliable, and honest. He was prompt and considerate of my home. He even wore shoe covers!!!! Justin quoted me an excellent price (beating out other quotes) and did the job perfectly. I would recommend Interstate Electric and Solar to friends and family. I will definitely use this company for any future electrical jobs. It's nice to know that there are companies out there with such integrity.

Justin did a superb job of walking me through several electrical issues and questions I had about my house. He patiently explained what he saw, and provided multiple options for solutions based on my needs and budget. I felt like I received a level of service and sincere attention that is too rare these days.

Justin was very professional and responsible.  He was able to take care of our electrical issues and got the job done fast and on time.  I would definitely use him again.

I used Justin for a simple job, wiring an outlet in the basement, took 2 hours. He gouged me by charging me $600. Do NOT sign by the job, use time and materials. I called him 2 days after and he told me his hourly rate was $125. So he did gouge me. He became rude with me on the phone. He didn't wear booties in my house and didn't clean up after himself. I have a place in Beaver Creek and electricians charge $75/hour max. Use Justin at your own risk!
