## Why it ranks here

Appalachian Electric & Security scores 73.5 out of 100, and most of its points come from the Google rating (39.1 of 44.4 possible) and claim accuracy (22.2 of 22.2 possible). It loses the most on years in business, 11.1 of 11.1 points, because no exact founding year was found on its website, so years in business counts 0. It earns no bonus points: they come only from the service details read on a company's own website. We have not read its website for prices, hours or warranty details.
