Our story
A lifetime in the trade. A business built around family. Lessons passed from one generation to the next.
Follow our story
Scenes illustrated from our family’s story.
Tom & John
Tom Long spent his career with IBEW Local 26, working his way from apprentice to positions of greater responsibility. The union was where he built his skills, his career, and a lifetime of experience in the trade.
When it was time for his son to get started, Tom helped John enter the union. John would spend 15 years there, learning the work and building a foundation of his own.
1996
After 15 years in the union, John wanted a steadier balance between earning a living and being there for his family. Starting his own business offered a chance to shape both.
In 1996, he signed his first Yellow Pages ad at the end of the final day before the cutoff. He had thought so much about making the business work for his family that the representative’s question about its name caught him by surprise.
The answer came from that same family: Long. It was the start of the business known today as AJ Long Electric.
John & Matt
John brought the same care to teaching his son that he brought to a customer’s home. When Matt began helping at about 13, the first lesson was patience: forming small copper loops, over and over, until they were right.
Then came the standards behind the work: respect the home, take no shortcuts, and recommend the repair that’s needed. Doing right by people was part of learning the trade.
College & California
College and a career in other industries took Matt to California. In operations and business development, he learned to lead teams, build useful systems, and keep a business organized.
It was a different kind of work, with experience that would later find a place in the family business.
Family, together
Life in California brought new opportunities and a beautiful place to live. But a walk along the San Clemente pier brought a simpler thought into focus: family was on the other side of the country.
For Matt, returning home meant more time together and a chance to work alongside his dad again. Family had shaped John’s decision to start the business. It helped bring the next generation back.
John & Matt, today
John spent decades earning homeowners’ trust through careful work and honest advice. That reputation remains the foundation of the business.
Today, father and son bring their experience together: John’s electrical expertise and Matt’s background in operations and technology. Better systems and a stronger online presence help more people find the care that was already here.
The company continues to evolve around the same priorities: good work, honest relationships, and family.

"Excellent service. Sai was great! Showed up at the start of the window provided. Did great thorough work. Was pleasant and personable. Did great work cleaning up old wiring issues. Would use AJ again and definitely request Sai. Thank you! Our room looks much cleaner/nicer now."
"AJ Long consistently performs great work. They were able to install the Tesla charger without having to cut any holes in the drywall in my basement. This was important for me since I had special drywall on my ceiling to soundproof noise between the floors. The work was done very cleanly and professionally. Sai and Bo were great! Thanks guys."
"Terrific experience with AJ Electric from start to finish. The team was responsive, punctual, and incredibly efficient. The quality of the work was excellent, and their pricing was fair and transparent, especially given how quickly they were able to schedule and complete the job. It’s rare to find a company that delivers both great craftsmanship and great communication, but AJ Electric did exactly that."
"They were upfront a honest with me during the troubleshooting & estimate process. When they did the actual "heavy up" and bringing our house up to code, their work was great. Professional service, I highly recommend them. We already have other projects we will be hiring them for."
"Fantastic job hanging my new stairway light! Your company was perfect from scheduling to completion. The electrician was professional and very nice. He did an excellent job and I couldn’t be happier. The cost was very reasonable and I will definitely use your services again. Thank you!"
"Technician was kind and respectful. He made a recommendation that made our project even better and added an additional outlet that we didn’t know we needed, but already use extensively. Work was quick and done right the first time."
"Second time AJ Long did electrical work for. And for a second time, service was excellent. Responded to our service request promptly and scheduled us for service two days later. Bo installed new wiring from our AC to circuit breaker. He explained the process, answered questions, worked steadily for several hours without taking a break. Highly recommend for quality of service and reasonable price."
