I called them, and they were able to come over immediately. Two electricians performed the work. They were polite, professional and did the work very quickly. They had to sweep up when they were done, and they probably could have used a drop cloth (hence the ''B''). They had to come back the next day because one of the wall switches was not working properly. We were charged for that visit, but after talking to Mike, he waived the second charge, which was much appreciated.
Description of Work: They installed a hallway sconce, fixed another sconce that was broken and checked to see if they could install another sconce in a different part of the hallway.

Two electricians came to the house and did a very thorough check of downstairs remodel, fuse box, and all outlets, garage door opener, etc. Since no ''work'' was performed but rather just a check, and since there hasn't been another incident, we are very satisfied. The company responded immediately to the call, and they were prompt, professional, and reasonably priced (and included the Angie's List discount). I would definitely call this company again for electrical needs.
Description of Work: We wanted an electrician to check the house thoroughly after we smelled what we thought was something electrical burning after we plugged in a new small refrigerator in a recently remodeled part of the house.

I wish there was an A- option! They were on time - two men came out. They found the problem and fixed it. They asked for a vacuum to cleanup afterwards (Yeah!) I am sorry that they didn't work with a drop cloth; a drop cloth would have caught the mess. As it was, it stained the rug. (It can be scrubbed out!) Overall - good experience and I will use them again.
Description of Work: Researched and found cause of electrical malfunction.

I know nothing about electrical problems and was fearful of an extremely expensive fix on our older home. I was glad to work with ethical and honest people who found a simple, inexpensive solution. They took the Angie's List coupon and seemed glad to have my business.
Description of Work: We had strange crackling and buzzing noises coming from a bedroom light. Brothers sent out 2 representatives who were honest, knowledgeable, clean, courteous and fast.

Brothers Electric did not show up for the prescheduled appointment. A female employee of Brothers Electric called me at work at 2:15 pm on Feb. 10 and stated that there was some type of "miscommunication." She claimed that my wife's "accent" was the reason for the miscommunication. Obviously, they were aware of the appointment, or they wouldn't have called me at work. In my opinion, this company is not female friendly (or immigrant friendly.) Very poor business practices.
Description of Work: My wife scheduled an appointment for Brothers Electric to do an estimate for electrical work at our home located in Linden Hills. Brothers Electric was to arrive at 1:30 pm on Friday, Feb. 10, 2006.

Response from Brothers Electric Co
I DID SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THIS COUPLE FOR TWO ELECTRICIANS TO GO TO THEIR HOME AFTER 1:30PM ON FRIDAY. I HAD STATED THAT I WOULD CALL OR HAVE THE ELECTRICIANS CALL BEFORE THEY LEFT. I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM A WOMAN STATING SHE HAD AN APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED FOR AN ESTIMATE AT 1:30PM AND WOULD NOT GIVE ME HER NAME. SHE WAS UPSET DUE TO THE FACT OF MY ESTIMATOR WAS OUT OF TOWN THIS DAY. I WAS TRYING TO VERIFY HER APPOINTMENT BUT WAS UNABLE TO WITHOUT HER INFORMATION. WHEN I DID CALL THE HUSBAND TO NOTIFY HIM THE ELECTRICIANS WERE ON THEIR WAY, DURING THE CONVERSATION I DID ASK ABOUT THE WOMAN''S ACCENT FOR VERIFICATION PURPOSES ONLY. THIS IS HOW I CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THIS WAS THE HUSBAND OF THE WOMAN I HAD SPOKEN TO EARLIER. IN THE ORIGINAL CONVERSATION WITH THE WOMAN, SHE ASKED IF WE GAVE ESTIMATES BUT IN NO WAY REQUESTED AN ESTIMATE, JUST STATED SHE WANTED A CHANDELIER HUNG. I TRIED TO APOLOGIZE FOR NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT EXACTLY IT WAS THEY WANTED BUT WAS SPEAKING TO DEAF EARS. AMY

Brothers gave a good bid.Work began on Jan 3.After 4 days all electrical work was done, but there was no word on the subcontracted venting. Had to call repeatedly to get venting. After the venting work was done we heard nothing regarding electrical inspection so the job would be finished (until I called on the 25th). The company needs to take a more proactive stance at keeping customers informed and completing tasks they start. While the work that was completed seems good, the professionalism and cleanliness aspects need improvement. We had beverage containers and debris spread throughout our house and an unpatched hole in the wall. Good thing we had tarps down (had been painting) because mud was tracked throughout the house. I shared my concerns with Mike. He took $100 off for the cleaning. He explained that they had become in charge of a coffee shop & their office staff was taking care of that so we were overlooked. Bottom line: work seems fine, but a lot of aggravation is involved.
Description of Work: Upgraded electrical system from 60 amp to 200 amp, installed mast on roof, moved meter outside. Brought things up to code (garage door opener cord was enclosed, globes on closet lightbulbs, GFI outlets installed in all needed locations, fire alarms hard wired). Changed out 3 light fixtures, fixed broken switches, installed plug for an electric dryer, installed one bathroom fan (they did the wiring, subcontracted the fan), changed 2 prong outlets into 3 prong outlets, and installed a new door bell.

The technicians called ahead to let me know they were coming and when they would arrive. They split up and each worked on different jobs. They were very courteous and did the work in a timely manner. All the work was completed to my satisfaction.
Description of Work: I had 3 projects that this company worked on. They checked the cans on the track lighting in my kitchen and found out 2 needed to be replaced. They replaced a bad dimmer on my bathroom sconces that was humming and smelling hot. They replaced a bad dimmer on an original fixture from 1954 in the dining room.

They were very timely in their response from the estimate to the finished product. They were very polite and worked steadily. I was, however, disappointed that I had to call them back to re-do an error in the design. This was a delay in finishing and required a little patch work on the wall.
Description of Work: Kitchen remodel required re-wiring and adding circuits for appliances. I also had 2 light fixtures installed.

My experience was very positive. I had some questions about the job and got an explanation over the phone. Brothers agreed to call me at work 20 minutes before they were going to arrive so that I could come from work and not have to wait for them all morning. The electrician was polite, knowledgeable and did a great job.

THE ELECTRICIANS ARRIVED ON TIME, WERE POLITE AND FOUND AND FIXED THE PROBLEM QUICKLY. THEY ARE A LITTLE PRICEY. THE RECEIPT SAYS $120/HR FOR TWO ELECTRICIANS, $85/HR FOR ONE. WHEN I CALLED, I WAS TOLD THAT MOST TRUCKS HAVE TWO MEN. I DON'T THINK YOU GET TO CHOOSE A SINGLE ELECTRICIAN. I DON'T THINK THIS JOB REQUIRED TWO MEN. THEY GAVE AN ANGIE'S LIST DISCOUNT (WHICH HELPED) AND THEY HAD GOOD FEEDBACK SO I WENT WITH THEM ANYWAY. OVERALL A GOOD EXPERIENCE.

BROTHER'S ELECTRIC SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED TWO CEILING FANS AND REPLACED ONE CEILING FAN WITH A LIGHT FIXTURE IN A 1920'S AGE HOME. ALTHOUGH THE QUALITY OF THEIR WORK WAS GOOD, THEIR CLEANLINESS LEFT MUCH TO BE DESIRED. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE IF THEY RECOMMENDED TO PUT DOWN SHEETS OVER THE FURNITURE, AS WE SPENT SEVERAL HOURS CLEANING UP DUST AND DEBRIS AFTER THEIR TECHNICIANS BORED HOLES INTO THE WALLS TO RUN THE ELECTRICAL FOR THE CEILING FANS.
