Description of Work: I am a new Angies List member of only a couple of weeks. I had some outlets and light switches that did not work and a power drain when two appliances were on at the same time. I found Bretco Electric and saw that they had good reviews and an Angies ribbon, I assume meaning they were outstanding. I called them 4/4/2013 and was told they could do the work on Monday 4/8/2013 and that someone would call me before coming to my house. I arranged to take a day of vacation on Monday so that I could be there. By 4:15 no one had called to say they were coming and no one called to tell me that they were not going to be able to come that day. I wasted a day of vacation waiting for nothing! I called their office at approximately 4:15 and got no one on the phone even though they don't close until 4:30. I guess I should have paid more attention to the negative reviews because you cannot always go by the good ones. I will never call them again except to complain.

Response from Bretco Electric Company Inc
In response to [member name removed] on April 8, 2013. We at Bretco Electric Company are very regretful that we dropped the ball, so to speak and missed our scheduled appointment with [member name removed]. There is no real excuse, although it was a busy and hectic day, we take complete responsibility. As to [member name removed] waiting and wasting his entire day, putting myself in his shoes, I think I would have called our office maybe at least by mid-day to update scheduling. In return this would have very well changed the outcome of this overlooked service call. Respectfully regretful, Randy Draughn Bretco Electric Company, Inc.

Member called on Monday Feb. 18th to get a free estimate for work that he wished to have done. We let him know that we would contact him before coming out. Bretco contacted Member on Wed. Feb. 20th around 4:00pm to let him know we were heading to Greensboro from Winston Salem when he informed us that it was already taken care of.

please see above.
Description of Work: I needed to have a new fan/heater installed in my master bathroom. I called Bretco and spoke with Tina, who contacted Randy immediately. He came out promptly and gave me an estimate. He advised me that I could purchase the hardware required cheaper on-line, which I did. Randy and his associate, Will, arrived on time on the scheduled day and did a great job. I will, without question, call Bretco again, and recommend them highly.
