Excellent. Brothers Electric arrived promptly and did the work as promised and in record time. The entire mitigation system was up and running by mid-afternoon. I especially appreciated that all the work was included in one bill and that I did not have to make separate arrangements for the installation of the fan .
Description of Work: I had a radon mitigation system installed by A1 Radon Services. Included in their services was the electrical work for the fan. About an hour after they had completed the radon pipe installation, Brothers Electric came to do the electrical work. Everything was organized ahead of time.

I left a message over the weekend (non-emergency) when they were closed and got a call back first thing Monday morning. They were able to schedule me for the next day. The two gentlemen arrived right on time for the appointment and were very quick, friendly, and professional. I was surprised at how reasonable the cost was for an hour and a half of work! Will definitely use them again.
Description of Work: They replaced a dining room fixture with a new chandelier I had purchased, replaced an outdoor spotlight with a motion detector spotlight I had purchased and added some extra mounting hardware, and they fixed a ceiling fan which had gotten its pull cord tangled inside its fan mechanism.

Perfectly. Kevin, arrived to do the quote when he said he would. Showed me what needed to be done ahead of time to provide access and how that would save time and money. Emailed quote a day later and the electricians who did the work, Jeff and Joe, were excellent. Arrived on time, explained what they were going to do, very organized, cleaned up everything, friendly, and restarted the power one breaker at a time.
Description of Work: Raised the mast on the power line to the house and updated grounding and meter to meet code.

While I had to wait about a week to get the work done (it was not crucial so this was no problem) -- but on the day they were to come they arrived early, did the job and were gone in good order. The cost seemed in line with what others are charging according to your (i.e., Angie's) survey.

Brothers Electric called me before they arrived. They arrived on time per the estimate. Two electricians came and ran a new electrical line from the panel to the kitchen sink. This is an older home and the basement is not finished so it went pretty easily. They installed the GFI outlet and switch, explained to me how it works, and cleaned up the area. They were friendly and very professional.

We cannot say enough good things about Brothers Electric. We first met them when having estimates drawn up for a 1400 sq ft house we eventually purchased that was full of knob & tube wiring. Not only was their price for the removal/replacement of the K&T wiring the best of all the companies we met with, but each individual we spoke with at various times throughout the process (e.g., electricians, front desk) was responsive, kind, and understanding. When the work was being done at our house, the team (Brian, Jordan, and Carl) was considerate and professional. We would hire Brothers again in a heartbeat.

Called, scheduled Bob to come out in 1 week to evaluate. He took measurements, assessed the situation, made some recommendations and said that he would be emailing me the estimate by the next week (he came out on a Thursday). When I hadn't heard from him by the following Thursday (1 week from when he came out), I called Brother's Electric, talked with the receptionist/person who answered the phone, who said that she would send a message to Bob and that I would be hearing from him. Another week went by- still hadn't heard from him (and yes, I checked my Junk email folder every day), therefore I called Brother's, talked with the receptionist who said that the evaluation in her computer showed that it was "completed". She said she was going to call Bob immediately and that she would call back in 2 minutes. It's been now 4 days later----the phone call back in 2 minutes did not happen, nor have I received an email from Bob. This is unacceptable service---how does Brother's Electric expect to get business with this kind of customer service? At this point, even if anyone from Brother's got back to me I doubt I would even entertain the idea of hiring them based on this lack of respect shown by the company. I have contacted in the meantime 5 other electricians- all prompt with their replies/estimate and I will be hiring one of them.

The work went very well. The technicians Jeff and Joe arrived right on time and went to work to determine the best way to complete the job. They explained to me in very clear terms as to what they would be doing. They completed the job in about two hours and then proceeded to check everything out with me watching so that I could be assured that the system was working properly. Jeff and Joe were very professional in their work and it was a pleasure for me to have them in our house and do the job. They also did an excellent job of cleaning up.
Description of Work: I had three circuit breakers replaced with single pole breakers. I had a GFI receptacle replaced with a Decora receptacle on the outlet left of the sink. I had a new circuit run to the outlet right of the sink. In addition I had an outlet in the formal dining room rewired.

They were able to lower the costs considerably by fixing the existing circuit than putting in a new line. I had attempted to fix (I have done a lot of electrical work in the past), but I gave up. These guys had the tools! They were able to see where in the line the problem was. They could have easily taken the more expensive route of replacing the line all the way back to the switch - I wouldn't have blamed them if they had, but they didn't. I was very happy with the final cost and results.

Excellent service from this company, including the bid (by Kevin), the appointment/billing staff (Amy and Kelsey), and the installers (Jeff, Joe, Jordan, Joel, Alan). The crew was polite, on time, professional, and worked VERY hard. The receptacles for the sconces and for the floor were particularly difficult for them, and they were very considerate in trying to cut as few holes as possible in ceilings and walls. They were expert in their decisions on how to do that, and very professional. They cleaned up every bit of sheetrock dust and took the garbage with them. They had to make two additional trips to get the doorbell extender kit to work right, but they got it right. And Kelsey waited until it was completely done before the final billing. We could not have asked for more. We will definitely be recommending them to family and friends.
Description of Work: Installed additional receptacles in our garage and several rooms in our house (16 years old), including a floor receptacle and two wall receptacles for sconces in our bedroom. Work also included changing out ceiling lights for newer ones we had purchased, plus installing a doorbell extension kit for additional chime locations.

Two of the light replacements were an easy swap, the third was a challenge because it was controlled by two separate switches and it was 1926 wiring. The pendant lights were a nightmare for the journeyman. Took him all day and he felt badly about the high bill as a result. The previous owner got creative in how they created the soffit which resulted in the electrician constantly running into unexpected barriers. The electrician persevered though and figured it out. Our soffit looked like swiss cheese but we had painters coming in to do repair on another project so it all worked out.
Description of Work: replaced 3 ceiling lights and installed 2 pendant lights on a dimmer where there were none

I am very pleased with Brothers Electric, And would not hesitate to use them again. They repaired a switch in our Bathroom that we had repaired previously. I had a list of concerns, they addressed everything on the list. The work was done in a timely manner. This was the third time we had to have someone out to repair the same switch.

I saw the electrician working on a house near by and asked him to check the cable at my house. He checked the cable and said we were fine. I offered to pay him but he simply asked me to remember them when I needed service in the future. This is the best i can do to recommend his prompt and courteous service. We will use them in the future.
Description of Work: I asked the provider to check on the electrical service to our house. We had a squirrel which has eaten off a clip on the ground wire. They inspected the cable and said we were fine.
