My impression is that Brentwood Electrical is only good for really basic repairs, and that they are overpriced, even with the Angie's List discount. The Electrician was unable to replace a 6-Button switch. He said that the company doesn't typically work on "smart switches," but that he'd consult the owner. I later received a $576.00 Proposal ($720 without the Angie's List Discount) for a $80.00 switch, described by the manufacturer to require a 15 minute wiring install. (The newer version of the switch now allows WiFi programming, for which I didn't need help; I just wanted the old switch swapped out.)

I emailed them through their website saying that I needed my backup Generac generator service/tuneup. They left a message for me to make an appointment. I called and the gentleman who answered asked where I lived and what kind of generator. Then, he told me that they did not service generator at all. It would save all of us a lot of time by telling me the first time.

In a word, great. The guys were on time, very professional, and knew exactly what to do. They finished the work quickly and had time to do another project I thought would be a more difficult job: put new electrical sockets in the hall closet. They were able to open up the wall, install the sockets and a replacement light switch in short order. All in all, they spent less than an hour here, but did everything I'd hoped and more for the $250 fixed price coupon. The work was done a couple of months ago, and everything is still working just fine.
Description of Work: I needed an electrical socket in a lamp repaired, and an outdoor 120V electrical sockets replaced.

As recommendation, I will use the email my tenant sent to me: "The electrician came right at 8AM and replaced the GFCI outlet. He said that they are very sensitive in order to do their job correctly and also sometimes not all of them are perfect and that this one had blown....that it should be fine going forward. He also said that vacuum cleaners take a lot of power and that sometimes that might stress the sensitivity of a GCFI - no problem using it from that circuit but given the outlet's delicacy maybe best to use the regular 3 prong outlets...which is what I'll do going forward. As feedback, the electrician was commutative, clean, not creepy, cleaned up the counter after he was done, and used a quality replacement outlet not some cheap home depot generic. Thanks for getting them out here!" We will definitely use Brentwood in future and highly recommend them.

I am very pleased with them, and I got them on Angie's List. They are very responsive, if you need somebody promptly, they do come promptly, and they explain things very well. I like the technicians that they have sent. I have had 3 different technicians. They are not cheap, but on the other hand they are good.
Description of Work: I use Brentwood Electrical. I used them a month ago, and I got a quote from them for another job that I will have them do. I had a circuit breaker that kept flipping, which indicated that somewhere along the circuit, there was an overload. They came out twice because it kept happening, so they identified the problem and fixed it. I am going to have them install a new light on the patio.

I was very pleased with their work. I have used them for past work for adding a new outlet inside the house. The technician was very pleasant, informative, and knowledgeable. He explained to me what he was doing while he was doing the work. The office was very helpful getting the appointment set up. I plan on using them in the future for another job.

We had a soffet removed lighting replace. We were lucky to have scheduled the work when we did. Our kitchen cabinets were being refinished and a new side-by-side refrigerator with custom panels arrived while Robert was here. A new plug had to be moved before the refrigerator could be slide into place. After another (excellent Angie's List provider ) completed the drywall work, we had Robert come back out and complete a few minor jobs for us. We have them on our 'list to call' should we need electrical work in the future.

He was good. Their normal price was $140 an hour and because of the Angie's List discount it became $125, but I think it was an hour and a half or maybe two and a half hours. The price got to be pretty big, but I still had a discount. He did whatever we wanted, so if they fix things and they don't break down again they've done their job. He was a nice person and I'll call him again since he knows our house already. I thought the price was kind of high, but maybe everybody charges that much because these guys are skilled.

I needed someone to come out RIGHT AWAY to remove some radiant heating wires so my dry wall people can patch up some holes. I called Brentwood Electrical and they were able to send someone out within two hours of my call. Ray was professional and completed the job in two hours. They are a bit pricy but worth the money if you need someone in a hurry.

Brentwood was incredible fair. I was not charged for the first and second day nor for the adjustment. Apart from 20% discount on Angie’s List, he gave me another 20% discount. Off as courtesy.
Description of Work: Jose with the company came to trouble shoot the reason for the power failure in my bedroom. He spent 2 hours and found nothing. He came back after 5 days with another man and found the cause of outage and repaired it. Then he came back after 3 days and adjust the motion detector.
