Nothing but Excellence. I hired Borello Electric back since then.
Description of Work: Brant and Isaac took care of so many things inside and outside of our house. First, I presented all my concerns to Brant. I had seven specific concerns (i.e. part of a wall heating up, breaker would go off if I use microwave and toaster at the same time, outlet outside of the house not working, etc...). He first listened, then provided suggestions/recommendations to each one of them. It was apparent that he provides recommendations that best resolve the issue but not necessarily an expensive solution. Below are some of the work they did: - Ceiling Fan/light installation - Two light fixture installation (one in master bedroom and another in guest bedroom) - Replaced a broken outdoor light fixture - Replaced two light fixtures inside a closet. - Replaced broken outlets - He even replaced hard-to-reach light bulbs and answered so many questions. I had to run to Home Depot a couple of times and he continued to provide suggestions via text messages!

Description of Work: I had fluorescent lights converted to LED lights and had 2 bathroom switches altered to separate the fan and lights to separate switches. The guys seemed a bit new to LED replacing fluorescents, but they understood the wiring and did the job well. |The switches were well done but each was installed differently, one is pushed to turn on; the other in another bathroom is pushed to turn off. They did not notice the difference and I unfortunately did not notice till later. So I live with a small inconvenience. Borello gave me some useful ideas for installing ceiling LED lights.

Arrived at my house exactly on time.Also extremely clean by immediately putting on shoe covers to protect our rugs even though we had not requested this. Also did a great job in cleaning up with a small vacuum. They also made a very slight mark on our wallpaper that they brought to my attention although the mark was almost invisible.
Description of Work: Fixed three electrical faulty switches although we had orginally only specified one. Did not charge extra for the work.

It went great! Brant was friendly and helpful. They covered items and protected furniture to prevent getting it dirty when troubleshooting the lighting problem and left everything completely clean. Brant clearly explained what the problem was with the recessed lighting.
Description of Work: They fixed a wiring problem with a recessed light, changed out some florescent bulbs in the garage and showed me how to properly put them in so they would last longer, they cleaned out an exhaust fan in the bathroom and helped troubleshoot a fire alarm problem - all in 2 hours!

Brant did all of this work in 3 hours. He laid plastic where ever he worked. He cleaned up VERY well at the end. He took away all the recycling from the containers and old bulbs. He explained the heat from the bulbs and that equivalent factor in cooling the house. He checked the 'juice' going to each fixture. He was kind and thoughtful and efficient. I would call him back to my house for other work anytime. I thought his price was fair at $395.
Description of Work: Brant and his associate came promptly and went over the services needed - I went out and bought LED lights to lower my costs and reduce heat as well as be more energy efficient. That was about 350 for bulbs and 1 fixture. He did a sensor light bulb replacement and adjustment, front porch fixture, lighting over kitchen table, removing and replacing 11 bulbs from halogen to LED in 2 rooms. Fixed some wiring in one spot too.

I found myself depending more and more on my electric vehicle to get around and the 120V charger was not cutting it. I decided to upgrade the charger and the supply to 240V-50A so I can turn around and charge much faster throughout the day. Brant was very responsive and happy to drive over to Morgan Hill in order to inspect my main panel and give me an estimate on the job. After explaining what I wanted and sharing the data sheet for the charger, Brant put together the job proposal and walked me through the details. He secured the required permits and prioritized his time after the job was done to be available for the inspector. Very satisfied with Brant, his ethics and workmanship. Highly recommended.
Description of Work: Install NEMA 14-50 outlet, wiring and breaker in the garage for my 240V car charger.

Borello was very thorough. He first thought that running the new line through the attic space would be best, but there is just not enough room to get around up there, so he had to change and go under the floor. Not his fault at all, but led to a slightly lees appealing routing of wires. I now have conduit running up between some of my light swtiches in the garage. Now he was not able to finish in one day as he had originslly thought, but he came right back the next day and finished up.
Description of Work: We got a new Nissan Leaf so needed a charging station installed. I got the actual unit, but needed 220 run to the garage and the unit hooked up. The garage is at least fifty feet away from where the main panel is.

Perhaps it was just chance, but Brant was able to show up and fix the problem the same day I called. He said he'd finish his current job, and come over in the afternoon. Then he called again about a hour later, said he was done with current job, and asked if now was a good time, or did I want him to wait till the afternoon. He and his apprentice arrived promptly when he said they would. They put on their little booties, came in, and listened to me explain the problem. He diagnosed the issue quickly as an arcing breaker. Not having the part with him, he had to purchase it. When he returned, he quickly rewired the two breakers on the arcing breaker to two unused slots, and installed the new breaker. He covered the slot on the bar, and labeled the unused bad breaker for future reference. Charge: $100 for the new breaker. Even though I thought the Angie's List deal was only for an inspection, he let it cover all time & labor. I, and my landlord, are very happy with my non-flickering lights, and my non-constantly resetting appliances.
Description of Work: Replaced a bad breaker, and moved breakers off of arcing breaker bar.

Brandt does very good Electrical work and takes his time to ensure a good job. He is neat and clean and makes sure he picks up after himself. He installed 3 new ceialing fans where there were none before, nor electical connections to install them. He had to install new wiring and crawl into attic in order to lay new wiring. Then he installed the new fans I purchased. He will not do a rush job, and as I said, takes his time. He's good guy and you'll be happy with his work.
