Absolutely the best electrical company in the area. We have used this company for the last five years in our home. Their work is always top notch. Today Eli and Steve installed two lights on either side of our garage. Expertly done, timely and clean up was perfect. We do not use any other electrician in our home.

I couldnt say enough about Jay and his team at Briggs Electric. They have experience in all areas. Professional and easy to contact if needed. They ran the electric in the master bath floor and patched the floor afterwards. It is rare to have a contractor these days do work and leave the job without me finding issues. I could not find anything wrong with Briggs Electric. They even troubleshot an electrical issue I had in the house without charging me.

Excellent. Jay Briggs returned my call promptly and we selected a date. His team showed up exactly on time. They were very courteous, removed their boots and used clean soft-soled shoes while inside. They used drop cloths so there were no scratches on our newly re-finished hardwood floors. We are preparing our house for sale so I had a laundry list of items the home inspector had identified. Mark and Will worked through all the items on my list and then carefully worked through the sheet from the home inspector to ensure everything was up to code. They were knowledgeable and professional. Very happy with their work.
Description of Work: Repaired and rehung chandlier, replaced exterior security lights, checked all GFCI and added/replaced outlets where necessary, installed attic fan, replaced attic light fixture. It included work both in the attic, the crawl space under the house and on a ladder outside in very cold weather.

I contacted Briggs on 8/6/15 to perform some electrical troubleshooting and repair on a circuit in my bathroom and they stated that they could not get to it until the end of August. This is clearly not the company to call if you need a repair performed in any reasonable amount of time.

We had a relatively urgent request. We lost power to the second floor while we were painting. The problem was not a blown fuse in the breaker box as we thought. Turns out it was a bad wire in the electrical socket that we wouldn't have known was the problem without an electrician. Jay replaced it and we were back in business. I especially like the fact that he responded to our service request so quickly. He was courteous, professional and fair with his price since his service call price is $100. Will definitely be using Briggs Electrical again if needed.
Description of Work: Check the circuitry to determine the problem. Restore electrical power.

I wanted to put a ceiling fan in room that did not have light or fan in ceiling. I did not realize how much work it would be to put in a new fixture. It would cost $275 which is probably a great price, but we did not have that much to spend on this project.
Description of Work: I did not use Briggs. He seemed very professional and could do the service we wanted, but price was not something we could afford.

He's phenomenal. I called another company and I gave both companies the description of the job over the phone. With the other company, you're speaking to someone that's in a call center, so really, they're not equipped to kind of give you pricing so that you know ahead of time and I didn't like the fact that the only option I had was to have someone come out and then you pay like a ship charge of $75. With Mr. Briggs, I clearly stated what the issue was, the same as I did with the other company and he was able to give me a quote over the phone. What stood out is his professionalism. He quoted me a price and he stuck to his word on that price.
Description of Work: We used Briggs Electric. They repaired 2 outlets.

Briggs went out of the way for us, knowing that we had just bought the house and that we needed the home put in safe order before we moved in.
Description of Work: We bought a 1987 ranch style house that had been poorly maintained. Briggs came in first ran a dedicated circuit to a new HVAC system iChat another company installed in our crawl space. While the electrician was there we had him repair several problems that our home inspector had found... Defective dimmers, improperly wired attic fan, random wires to nowhere in our crawl space. We then had him come out at a later date and fully inspect and label the panel box, replace unusable wall receptacles that had been broken out of wall, install a dedicated circuit to an above-the-range microwave, and a few other things and go through home from top to bottom to correct any problems that he found. This was a total of 3 visits, so we thought we got a very high value service at a reasonable price.

Back in mid-July, we were having a problem with a breaker continuously shutting off. I contacted Briggs because they were local to me and got great reviews. They came within a day, and the two guys worked hard to find the problem. They installed a new breaker, and the problem seemed to be solved. They were extremely courteous, neat, and cared very much about accurately diagnosing the problem. A few days ago, we noticed a problem with the same circuit they had worked on. I called late in the afternoon, and they were at my door in a half hour. After additional searching (which took at least an hour), they found what was likely the original problem, and didn't charge me a penny for all the extra time they spent on the repair. I really appreciate a company that tries hard to please and stands by their work. Briggs definitely does, and I'll be using them for any future electrical work.

Very impressed-- we've found our new regular electrician! Jay had two employees come out within an hour of my call. They trouble-shooted until they found the problem (unlike another company that was out just a few hours before and said it would be "a lot of work and money" to figure out the problem. Jay came back later in the day to finish the repair, as he had to locate the light we needed. Wish I had called Briggs first!

Jay arrived promptly as scheduled, worked quickly, cleanly, and efficiently, and performed the requested work in a very professional manner. In addition, he was able to replace the ballast in the flourecent fixture (even though I was anticipating a need to replace the fixture) saving a few dollars. Jay also took extra time to consult with us on some future work and carefully explained our options. We are looking forward to having Jay perform additional work for us in the future.

It is his own company and he does work with another guy. They did wonderful; I cannot praise them enough on every account. They came and did a really good job in half a day. I had one issue so I called them up and they came the next day and took care of it so no problems. Their price was great too; the other providers’ quote was around $900. They were very honest; they changed the ballast in the overhead fluorescent light but the other three companies wanted to change out the whole light and that saved me a bunch of money. I would highly recommend them.

They were wonderful. They did a really good job. I had problems and I had the gas company come out several times. The light would go out. He knew exactly what he was doing and he explained to me exactly why I was having the problem. It took him about a half an hour and he fixed everything.

The work was done in two visits. They were prompt each time, courteous, highly professional. They installed the under-cabinet lights and two ceiling fans the first time, as well as removing the small light from the laundry room and replacing it with a long fluorescent which was formerly in the kitchen. They also installed lights in two closets during that visit. On the second visit, they installed ceiling fans in the bonus room, three bedrooms and the porch, as well as installing a light in the coat closet. I have more work in mind for the future, and definitely will call them again.
