Johnson Electric and Supply reviews

The Verdict
Johnson Electric and Supply undercuts the big-name installers by thousands while delivering the same hardware. We analyzed dozens of reviews and found a pattern that matters: the owner, Andre Johnson, runs a lean operation with no ad budget or branded trucks, so he can quote LG panels at prices well below Tesla or Sunrun. One homeowner reported saving enough to install a larger system than competitors proposed for less money overall. Another mentioned that five friends followed her lead after seeing her system run at 100% capacity three years later. In 18 reviews praising sales conduct, Andre steers clients away from unnecessary add-ons like batteries if current usage doesn't justify them, a move that costs him margin but builds trust. Emergency response is unusually fast: one customer lost power on a Sunday, called multiple electricians with no luck, then reached Andre, who showed up the same day worried about a hot breaker. (He also returned a deposit within hours when an HOA agreed to cover panel replacement costs, which feels rare enough to mention.) The installation crews finish most jobs in a single day, wear masks without prompting, and take off their shoes when walking through your house.
If you want the lowest per-kilowatt price on a quality solar system and don't mind working with a small team instead of a corporate service department, Johnson Electric is the clear choice. You'll sacrifice the polished marketing of a national brand, but you'll get the owner's cell number and answers within hours.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
M G. lost power at their home on a Sunday and, after calling multiple electricians who weren’t available, watched Andre step in and treat the situation like an emergency. Worried it could be a hot breaker, Andre took time on his day off to come out and inspect the electrical issue. M G. put down a deposit to have the panel replaced, but after negotiating with the HOA the association agreed to cover the cost. When M G. called Andre to explain the change, he promptly returned the deposit without fuss. The detail that sticks: Andre showed up on his day off to address a potential safety problem and refunded the money quickly once the HOA took responsibility — a practical, no-drama handling of an urgent situation.
Leslie hired Andre and his small team to put solar on her home in an HOA community five years ago, and she still gets the same output today as the day it went live. She prized the tidy, unobtrusive install—something that mattered where she lives—and found Andre professional, knowledgeable and dependable throughout the process. He delivered a package that fit their needs at a price that worked for them, and the system has run trouble-free since. As the family has grown and electrical use climbed, she decided to expand the array and plans to have Andre handle the extra panels. The detail that stands out: five years of steady performance combined with a neat, HOA-friendly installation convinced her to call the same local contractor again.
Carla decided to take advantage of the current tax incentive and, after getting three quotes, chose Andre and his small, independent crew for a rooftop system on her home. She learned he came recommended by several coworkers, and discovered he runs a low-overhead operation (he’s also a disabled veteran), which translated into quicker turnaround and better pricing. Because she had researched brands, she knew she wanted LG panels. Two competitors pushed their preferred brands and suggested LG would cost more, but Andre presented an estimate with LG without being asked and explained why he thought it was the best fit. He patiently translated the unfamiliar jargon, answered their many questions, and advised against adding a battery right away based on their actual usage—advice she appreciated as refreshingly un-salesy. Andre’s bid turned out to specify the largest system of the three quotes but also the lowest cost per kilowatt; when she questioned the size he walked her through the rationale until she felt comfortable. He also smoothed the financing lane by coordinating with the lender and supplied the paperwork needed for the HOA. Once permits cleared, the crew was scheduled in

Fenella had a rooftop solar system installed about three years ago and discovered it still produces at 100% capacity. She found Andre Johnson on Nextdoor, and he went on to outfit five of her friends with solar systems that have also performed well. She appreciated that Johnson runs a lean operation—no big advertising budgets or flashy, logo-covered trucks—so he can offer lower prices than larger firms like Tesla. Andre, the owner, answered her questions personally and promptly, coming across as straightforward and honest. Her array uses the same base equipment the big companies deploy, but she opted for LG panels and considers them an upgrade. The detail that sticks: three years in, her LG-equipped system still runs at full output, and the owner remains the direct point of contact for any questions.
Jamie P. hired the company for a residential solar install and ended up most impressed by the installation crew's finish on the garage wall — neat, deliberate work that turned the wiring into an "electrical work of art." Andre ran the sales side, answering texts and calls immediately and fielding every question without delay. They found the price especially attractive given recent industry-wide cost increases. The crew worked efficiently and professionally, friendly while keeping the site tidy. What sticks with them is that orderly garage-wall wiring — a finish that reads like craftsmanship rather than leftover clutter.
