Brennan Electrical

BEWARE!!! SCAM Company! Based upon Angie’s List, we called this company to provide a quote and complete the installation of two electrical outlets. The operator assured me that the work could be done in the day of the estimate, assuming I felt the price was appropriate. The technician arrived, took one look at installing two outlets and reassured me that he had no idea how to do it and everyone in the company was out on vacation. It progressively got worse as he provided me a quote that exceeded $ 2K for two simple outlets. When I told him that was outrageous and compounded by the fact that he could not perform the work, said that I would not proceed. He then said, «well pay me my $ 50.00 for coming out and I’ll be gone». For What??? I called the company while he was there and to their credit they told him to leave without the service fee. I called another electrician, he was able to install the outlets in 1 hour, and charged me a whopping $ 300.00 I could not believe the price gouging that this company attempted, which they claim is based on national averages! What a mess! Do NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!

My review is also listed under Yahoo! Reviews:
Let me start my review with a little background describing the problem we had…
About three years ago, we wanted to upgrade from our old fuse box so we hired some random guys (they weren’t licensed but claimed to know what they were doing) to install our new circuit breaker. They were recommended by a family friend. Long story short, these two guys wired everything incorrectly and put our home at risk of possibly catching fire.
We decided to hire a professional company to fix the problem so we called Brennan Electrical after seeing their name somewhere and setup an appointment. They (the owner of the company came that time. He’s a great guy!) came out promptly to fix everything and make sure that our wiring was safe. He even labeled each breaker so we knew which switches controlled each room or area of our home. He explained in detail what he fixed and showed us how to use the new circuit breaker.
A couple years ago, we needed to add outlets to a room in our basement that we were going to use as a ‘movie room’. This meant that we needed to have good outlets capable of handling all the power that we would be generating in that room. We called Brennan Electric again and a technician came out promptly and installed the new outlets. He explained everything that he did and was courteous and professional.
We recently had some issues due to a lightning strike and will be calling Brennan Electric again. We trust them and know that they will do their jobs in a timely, professional way. I HIGHLY recommend that others use their services if they are in need of a good, trustworthy electrician.
