BR Electric

BR electric put lights in our backyard and did an awesome job. Brian is very passionate and has great vision. Very happy with their work.

After several disappointing experiences with other electricians, I finally found one who is professional, more than reasonable and willing to solve my problems on a short notice. He came to diagnose issues with the sump pump in my shop, spent more than 2 hours and didn’t ask for payment before the problem was fully resolved (THANK YOU!). From now on, this is the guy I will call when I need commercial/​residential electric work done!

Unreliable and don’t know how people have given them more then 3 starts! i have call them twice and spoke with the owner & he ask me to email him to schedule the appointment and no one respond me after a week ! Didn’t herd anything. So I call again to schedule the appointment and they gave me the date and time no call from them neither no one show up!
Giving them more then one star will be very unfair.
Thanks

I needed an electrician and yes I read alot of the Unilocal reviews from other people on BR Electric before deciding. I have to say I was very pleased with Brian and Matt. They both held up their side of my remodel job by giving the extra customer service and quality of work. Example: after they finished installing recess lights for me, Matt and I could hear a very slight buzz in the dimmer switch. I could of lived with the noise since it was only noticeable with dead silence. But, without saying, its a normal sound with my lights, they made it a point to investigate and rectify the noise. They came back the next week and installed new switches with the problem solved. Alot of businesses need to follow their example of customer service.

Professional. Honest. Amazing attention to detail. I don’t put up many reviews. But when guys like Brian and Matt came and installed two expensive and very heavy chandeliers from RH — one weighing in over 160lbs — I could not have asked for anyone more professional. Brian and Matt REALLY cared we were happy with the installation, took care with our chandeliers and provided some great advice on installing these heavy lights. They took their time and even installed some needed reinforcement to our ceiling to mount the lights. I suspect if our house ever falls down, the only things hanging will be the chandeliers! Planning some more electrical work to be done. Brian and Matt will be the only guys I will call and trust. Highly recommended.

Had some light issues and a problem with the power to our dishwasher. Brian came by and quickly swapped out the light fixtures without any hassles. He gave the dishwasher problem a once over and found the issue, saving me from both buying a new dishwasher or having to worry about messed up wiring in the house.

I can’t thank BR Electric enough. Brian and his team show up on time, work fast, and clean everything up before they leave.
I had a tile contractor tell me he could do under counter lighting for me since they were tiling my backsplash in my kitchen. After they put the lights in I didn’t feel confident in the work so I called BR Electric.
Brian came over the next day and looked at the work. He said it was not to code and was a fire hazard. I was kind of shocked.
His guys showed up two days later and put the proper lights and wiring in. The lights are amazing and I don’t have to worry about a fire starting behind my kitchen walls.
His guys also put can lights in my daughters room with a dimmer switch and they re-​wired our master bathroom outlets so they are to code and so when I use my dryer and straightener I won’t flip a fuse. My daughter now has beautiful lighting in her room.
I would recommend BR Electric to anyone and the next time I need an electrician I will only call them.

Look no further for a qualified electrician. BR Electric was incredibly professional, quick and got the job done right. They went above and beyond for us today. Being pregnant, I could not clean or lift anything and they took care of everything for me! Brian is a great guy, a family man, a small business owner who has another loyal customer. His partner, Marshall, was great too! Very kind and skilled.
Brian responded to my inquiry right away and fit me into his schedule within a few days. He emails you rjght back and responds quickly to phone calls.
Don’t hesitate to book any of his services.

Brian is amazing! We have had BR Electric out here a few times, and each time, Brian goes above and beyond. Because he has such a good memory, he remembers from one visit to the next exactly how our house is wired. This obviously helps a lot when he’s troubleshooting a problem. He has been here to troubleshoot/​fix non-​working and loose receptacles, and he’s also installed a few dimmer switches. In the future, we’re eager for him to install fans in the bedrooms. He is honest and fair, and I trust him completely.
His response time is also fabulous. In fact, he’s managed to fit me into an already busy schedule on more than one occasion. He even responds to text messages!
Brian, thank you so much for sparing me the stress when we have an electrical problem. You solve our issues quickly, your prices are fair, and your work is excellent. I will definitely continue to rely on BR Electric for any electrical issues in the future!

I own a small shop out in Livermore and I recently purchased a new Air Compressor and I needed it hooked up. I contacted BR Electric in the afternoon on a Wednesday and even tho my job was small and simple I was treated with much respect an urgency. Brian came out to my shop that same day assessed the situation and realized I needed a new breaker and that there was some potential issues with my panel that I should notify my landlord of… Shortly after he made a trip to get the parts I needed then returned to wire up my compressor. He even took the time to make sure the plug on the compressor was solid and that the cable was correctly secured.
I wire up cars on a daily basis and I know what attention to detail and quality workmanship look like in vehicles and after watching Brian work it’s safe to say he shares those same values! If you think it is expensive to hire a professional then try hiring an amateur! You will end up paying 2 – 3 times as much to get it done right.

Brian was awesome and I will definitely use him again. We had 3 separate projects we wanted to quoted, and he came out and gave us a written quote for all 3. We decided we only wanted two of them done immediately, and I emailed Brian and setup a time and date. The morning of the install, we decided to only do one of the projects instead of 2. I emailed him to let him know and he said «no problem» He showed up on time, did a great job, and even vacuumed and cleaned up before he left. What else could you ask for?
We plan to have a few more projects to do (spa install etc) soon and I’ll be calling Brian to do them. Don’t hesitate to give him a call!

Update: I called another company to give me 2^nd opinion prior to going through Brian’s estimate and was shocked when this new guy fixed the issue in 5 mins. So either Brian is not good at his job or he intentionally miswired our bathroom outlet to get more job out of us. So with Brian, I paid $ 100 to be mislead into paying another $ 600-​$ 700. Not happy with that.
If I were you, I’d skip Brian and find another electrician that is honest and doesn’t mislead for more profit.
2 stars since he «fixed» half of the problem. Minus 3 for the update above.

BR Electric installed our Tesla HPWC. The quote was on the higher range, but Brian and his crew did an excellent job. They are Tesla certified and I highly recommend BR Electric.
Tips: Brian seems to be a busy guy, so responses may be slow.

I am really happy with his work on installing my Tesla charger in my home. I got his num from tesla in Fremont because I don’t know who to use. He gave me a great price and his work is excellent. I will use him in the future for anything else I’ll need done from an electrician.

We had intermittent problems in our kitchen and Brian came out quickly to look at the problem. Our old panel was in bad shape and these guys replaced the entire panel right away. Job took two days but I am glad to have a safe and functional house again.
I definitely would recommend these guys for serious electrical work.

BR Electric is our «go-​to» electrician from now on! Overall we had a pleasant experience from them ranging from prompt communication, professionalism and the quality of work that they provided for our electrical issues in the garage and the family room. Thank you Brian, Rett & John for your all hard work! We hope to see you sometime in the future when we buy a Tesla ;-)

We needed some electrical work done which is one of my least favorite things to have done. I was very happy with every aspect of my interaction. They arrived on time, everything was explained very well to me. I also have a vintage light from a firehouse that had an unusal base. he was kind enough to figure out how to make it work with my house. We will definitely be using them again!

Brian and Matt did a great job with sorting out the mess a Handyman had done to our Kitchen Remodel. A simple moving of some plugs became more of an exercise in stupidity on my part thinking that a Handyman could do so. Eventhough he loved electrical. Brian and Matt were both professional and personable and set about to do things correctly. Now each additional plug has a home run to its own breaker/​circuit for our kitchen. Now we can live in calmness that we will not have future issues and that safety is assured. Brian’s personality is attentative and hyper at the same time in a good way and very easy to talk too. We had a deadline and he found time for Matt to come help us. Matt is very calm professional and very clean with his work.
Everything was very comfortable and we were happy that we found them through Unilocal… yeah Unilocal.

BR Electric is my «go to» electric company. I have used them several times and they have always been prompt, able to diagnose the problem and fix it quickly for a reasonable price. Finding a contractor who just shows up seems rare these days but the guys at BR have gone above and beyond for me every time I have had them out.
Above all it is a company you can trust. They will be honest and fair with you. There’s nothing worse than feeling like you’ve been «taken» when you’re contractor is done with the job. I have never felt like that with BR.
Good guys who care about what they do and do great work.

While Brian may be an amazing technician, his workers left my walls with little holes around the electric sockets… The plugs are loose and it doesn’t look great. Other than that the permits didn’t get taken care of until almost a year after. He took care of it when I brought it to his attention that it couldn’t have final connections done still. I need more work done, but I am worried if I call him I will get much of the same. Oh, one other thing, they wired MOST of my house, but didn’t ground the living room… said I wasn’t specific about wanting that room grounded. I don’t know how specific you need to be when you want your whole house grounded…
Job got done, just not to my liking. Can post pics of sockets if people are worried I’m too picky.
