My husband and I recently purchased a second home in Vilas, N.C which we bought a hot tub for.  The people at the hot tub store highly recommended Appalachian Electric Co. owned by Quinn Hineman and his wife Debbie due to their many years of experience and knowledge.

Quinn and Debbie were prompt in arriving and explained ahead of time what they were going to do. They even stopped by the day before to assess the job.

Quinn installed an electrical sub panel and did some other electrical work for us. We were very pleased with the timely manner in which they performed the job and the neatness of the installation.

When Quinn was finished, he took the time to go over everything with me to make sure I understood what everything was and what it did.

I would highly recommend Appalachian Electric and will not hesitate to contact them should be need any future electrical work. Plus our pug Winston would like to be their assistant!

As an owner of rental property in Boone, N.C., and living in Charlotte, I have relied upon Appalachian Electric for all my electrical inspections and service over the years. Meticulous care and attention to detail, along with honesty, their work ethics and integrity in short are just a few of the reasons I will continue to use their service. They are good people and you can trust them to do the job right the 1st time.

Quinn and his crew were great throughout our building experience. Our overall experience with building our mountain home left much to be desired but I always knew that Appalachian Electric would not only do the job right, but do the right thing. They were honest, dependable and professional. I would recommend them to anyone.

Working with Quinn and the guys was a very good experience for me, I live 2 hours away from my rental house in Boone and was only able to come up on Fridays and the weekends to work and check on the progress. I had bought a house that was in need of some electrical repair. I met with Quinn at the property and after he evaluated the situation, he suggested we completely rewire the entire house. I was against the idea at 1st, but after he pulled some of the old wiring out he showed me potential fire hazards that would have gone unnoticed by an untrained eye like mine. Not only did he save me money from the potential problems I could have had, but I was able to completely rewire the house for only a little more than I was quoted to patch the problem from another competitor.

Great Customer Service.................Had a problem, made a call, Debbie's pleasant voice on the other end. I told her I had a problem, Debbie said not to worry she would get a hold of Quinn. Quinn pulled a guy on his way to another job, redirected him to my house, he made the repair and was gone. Can't beat that for service.

Quinn worked with the Building Inspectors during my restoration project. This was a big help for me seeing I could not rearrange my schedule to meet them. Quinn meet with them got all the approvals and made it happen.

I've been a customer of Appalachian for several years and have recommended their services to all my mountain friends. What a great group to work with - professional, courteous and always willing to help out in emergencies!

Doug G., Bluffton, SC Appalachian Electric has worked for me on several projects over the past 5 years. Besides being extremely professional, competent and thorough, they have shown a genuine interest in providing electrical services based upon my needs, on my time frame and within my budget.

B.M., Grandfather Mountain, NC Quinn and his staff at Appalachian Electric Company have been, clearly, at the top of the electricians I have used in building projects for over 30 years. The guy is unbelievable; he approaches projects as if you are a member of his family in that he wants to ensure that you are completely pleased with the results. He not only listened to what I wanted but took the extra time to understand how I lived and what interests I had so that he improved on my ideas and made significant suggestions to various circuits, electronic modules, office space, mood lighting, special lighting for my art and photo areas of the home, etc. He also made suggestions which actually saved me considerable money but also added in several extra circuits for future use both inside and outside the house which has already made additions efficient and less costly. He was always, without exception, here when he said he would be and even stopped by several times after the project was done to ensure that not only everything was working but that I was completely pleased with the outcome. His participation and services has made this more than a home, it is a place of great fun and enjoyment for me and my friends. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Quinn and his staff for any project you are considering.

After calling several electric companies that said they could not do the work I needed done, I called Appalachian Electric. Debbie, the person who answers the phone, was very professional and knowledgeable. I told her what I needed to have done and she told me she would have Quinn call me. Quinn called me later on and we set up a day and time to do the work I needed done. On that day a three men crew showed up and went right to work. They were very professional and when they were done, they had done an excellent job. I was very satisfied! Then, to my surprise, later that afternoon Debbie & Quinn showed up at my cabin to check the work out. I was so satisfied that a couple of months later I needed more work done so again I called Appalachian Electic to see if they would do the work again. They said they would and again we set up a day and time. To my surprise this time Debbie & Quinn showed up to do the work. Again the work was done very professionally. I would very highly recommend Appalachian Electric to others. They were very professional and very nice to work with. Once again I would lake to thank Debbie & Quinn.

Appalacian Electric did all the wiring of my 30X36 woodworking workshop, over 40 receptacles and drops for both 110 and 220 volt equipment and there has never been a single electrical interruption in the last 8 years due to any problems with their work.

I want to thank you all for your prompt response and professional installation. I've been working on this project since I bought and installed the unit way back in October 2005. I've gotten commitments and "BS" from three other companies. I've gotten poor or unreliable information from several sources, until Quinn did his homework and nailed the thing down. Getting a real commitment for the job meant a lot. You will be the first to call for all our major business at home and Burger Kings. I especially appreciate your detailed invoice break down of all products used and labor. That way I can fully review what I'm paying for. Thank you again for a great job!

Stewart & Cindy P., Boone, NC Excellent work - very much on time. Great to work with!

~ Stewart & Cindy P., Boone, NC


Quinn and Debbie are fantastic people and hard workers. They did the electrical for our hot tub with great attention to detail. We had to reschedule the job a few times due to bad weather in the mountains, and Debbie was wonderful about following up to make sure our schedules worked out okay. I would highly recommend them after a great job!

I have been with Appalachian Electric so long that I can't remember when I first used them. Their work is 100% quality. Their response is perfect. An emergency call is always responded to and their price is fair.
