Justus Electric

Justus Electric is a one-person-led electrical outfit — Giovanni, an electrical engineer and licensed electrician who founded the company in 2022 — working out of Lowell and covering Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, and the towns around them. The company's own site frames it as a code-first shop built around panel upgrades, EV chargers, wiring, lighting, and after-hours emergency calls. The clearest read on actual jobs comes from Thumbtack, where the company holds a 4.6-star average across 33 ratings and 77 hires. The five written reviews on file, all from 2022 and 2023, describe the same kind of call: a breaker problem or wiring job Giovanni came out for personally, fixed, and explained plainly. In a 2023 review, one customer said he replied quickly and resolved a breaker issue the same day; in another from that year, a homeowner had him install lighting and outlets on a main floor, then bring him back for a sunroom heater. A 2022 reviewer who hired him twice called him prompt and professional both times, and another that year credited him with steering her toward the cheaper fix rather than upselling. What's worth asking about: every review on file is at least two years old, so there's nothing recent to confirm the same responsiveness holds today. It's also worth noting the company's Thumbtack profile lists 11 years in business, while its own website puts the founding in 2022 — about four years — so that tenure claim is worth a direct question before booking. For a straightforward residential job — a panel issue, new outlets, an EV charger — the early record points to someone who shows up, explains the work, and does it without a hard sell; just confirm current availability and that quoted tenure before you commit.
