Awesome work, awesome quality of work and awesome value for money... highly recommend..Brian has it all going on.. Thank you so much for being a awesome electrician read more

I've used BR Electric a number of times now, and I've never been disappointed with the work they deliver, the quality, and the communications. Brian is fantastic and no nonsense. While you can go cheap, the adage is true: you get what you pay for. In this instance, quality. Most recently, Brian and team added additional breakers and outlets, as well as an updated Tesla charger in the span of two days. The pipe work is awesome, and I'm stoked to be able to do more woodworking in my garage without having to flip a breaker every 5 minutes. If you demand quality and good service, then you should really consider BR Electric. And no, Brian didn't put me up to this review. I just think he's a cool dude. Thanks Brian! read more

We have used BR electric for several projects. They are very good at explaining what needs to be done and why. They are dependable, arriving when scheduled and completing their work as estimated. Their pricing is very competitive. read more

I put out a bid to have a 32A electric car charger installed. Brian helped me pick a wall unit that he had good experience with since I was very new to this whole thing. It may be hard to appreciate why Brian is outstanding without having had a truly horrible experience before using him, but if I could give him 10 stars I for sure would. He was the perfect amount of communicative without being a hassle. He kept me informed when he was expecting to show up, he showed up when he said he would, he performed the work as if it was his own place, the price was great, and the work was done quickly (but not hastily!) He cleaned up after himself, and left only a tiny amount of wall patch work to be done. I for sure will use Brian again for future electrical work, and recommend that you consider him, too read more

Brian is amazing! Just Amazing! Super knowledgeable, responsive, available and efficient. Also excellent value for money. He's my go to electrician from now on. read more

I needed a new EV charger installed at my new house, and the location of the charger was quite a distance from my panel. Bryan expertly navigated the complexities of the route through the house, outdoors, with various twists and turns and got the job done perfectly. He's a really nice guy, reasonable prices, and does excellent work. Highly recommend. read more

Brian and his son did a fantastic job putting up an exterior Tesla charging system. They also put up several wired ring security cameras around my home perimeter. They arrive on time, work diligently and clean up after the job. I highly recommend Brian read more

BR Electric - Tesla charging - Electricians Near Me

We had to hire Brian again for another job. SunRun basically jacked up panel by putting in a not so good installation of the 70amp breaker. It caused the solarpanel to think it was off the grid and it would force us to run off the tesla powerwall battery. They originally told us it was going to take them almost 3.5 weeks to come and take a look. We ended up having to text Brian on a holiday and he came like the next day. Great work as always. read more

Brian is priced right with a 5 star quality install for my EV charger. Other bids were as much as 2x the cost with unnecessary switches. He knows what he is doing and answered all my questions. His self described OCD is an advantage making the install look tidy. He also uses the best materials. I am very happy with the install and highly recommend. read more

We had an emergency where half our house didn't have electricity and the sewer pump wasn't functional so we couldn't flush our toilets. Brian came out the next day and made a fix to hold us over until we replace the panel. The other two electricians didn't offer the same solution so we were very grateful for that fix. Brian's pricing was very fair and he was really great to work with. I would definitely use BR in the future and recommend them to friends. read more

Fantastic conversationist and really knowledgeable electrician. Brian is great to work with, does incredible, meticulous work. I would highly recommend and definitely will use again in the near future. read more

Brian is great. He knows his stuff and is very efficient. Definitely recommend him if you need any electrical work done. We had a car charger installed in our garage. read more

Brian and his son Cody are truly awesome, not a word I use very often. They showed up for my electrical emergency after working another job all day. Brian knew exactly what to do and what the problem was. It was fixed instantly, and I'm back in business, not having to lose all the food in my fridge to a power loss. If you need an electrician, Brian is the guy to call, hands down. Friendly and professional and totally dedicated. We need more professionals like him! read more

Wow! Just WOW! Brian is an incredible electrician and such a cool soul. I recently bought a home top dollar and it was hugely disappointing to see the lights in an area of my house and garage flickering, shutting off and on. Initially I had thought it was just bulbs but one Sunday, the lights in areas of my house would shut on and off for a minute at a time. Intuitively knee it was the panel at this point. I went to turn off the breaker and I heard sizzling and cracking. So scary! It was a Sunday so I was super stressed. I called Brian off the recommendation of my realtor friend. Even though he was busy working that Sunday, he promised to come by after he saw his other clients because my situation sounded dangerous. I'm so glad he did. He meticulously spent the next few hours of his precious Sunday targeting and locating a faulty transformer along with singed wires, and arcing on breakers. He told me I was lucky that a fire had not started. The whole panel was dilapidated and aluminum wiring was not helping. I felt the whole panel had to be replaced. Brian came back to re-wire the whole panel. I can now sleep at night not fearing for my life. The panel work he did was not only amazing but beautiful as well. I would highly recommend BR Electric. Brian is one of the best electricians around and uses the best quality products to ensure safety for his clients' homes. read more

BR Electric - Look at this beautiful work of Art. It was previously a rats nest before Brian cleaned it up! - Electricians Near Me

If you want honesty, Brian is your man. My power was fading and the problem was a mystery since no breakers ever blew etc. I got an estimate from another electrical company and they quoted me $16,000 for a new electrical panel and a bunch of other unnecessary items. Brian was on my property for three minutes and pointed out that my neutral line was disconnected. PG&E came out within an hour and fixed it for free. When my panel actually needs to be replaced I know who won't be doing the job and who I'll call first. Thanks again Brian !!! read more

Met with Brian to do a walkthrough to address some findings on my inspection report I needed addresses. cool guy, but super fixated on convincing me I needed the wires in my panel redone (with the other contractors said I didn't). Anyways, his wiring looks great but he never followed up with the quote and ignored my follow-up request to get the quote. It's so incredibly frustrating to take the time to get a contractor out to your house only for them to ghost you. My takeaway: more interested in getting pretty wiring or Tesla installation pics for the IG than actually delivering quality (or any) costumer service. Would not recommend. read more

BR Electric was experienced and professional. The work was completed in a timely fashion and was correctly done at a reasonable cost.

BrIan at BR Electric did an excellent job on our property at Crystal Springs Terrace. Fixed all problems!! I would recommend him to anyone who needs electrical work. read more

We were so appreciative of Brian's expedience on fixing our outdoor electrical box that emitted smoke. We were very concerned of the danger that it could potentially cause. He did excellent work in resolving the issue immediately at a very reasonable price. We will definitely use him again for all our electrical needs. My husband and I also enjoyed the lighthearted, comical banter that we shared with Brian while he was working! ;-) Brian was quick in solving a hazardous electrical problem, reasonably priced, reliable, and very personable. Many thanks Brian! read more

I reached out to BR Electric for a floodlight installation in May. Initially, Brian was quick to respond with a scheduling link to perform an onsite estimate. I dropped the ball by responding a month later, but it was crickets from that point on. Around that time, I also went through BR's Facebook page to schedule the estimate, but there was no response there either. I'm sure BR's work is fine based on the plethora of positive Yelp reviews, and this is the primary reason why I wanted to experience their work firsthand. However - BR's lack of subsequent response in light of (1) having other electricians successfully coming out to do estimates and (2) the vendor I opted to go with being very communicative - is what drives this average rating. read more

We had an electrical problem and Brian came out the same day and quickly determined what it was and how to best treat it. He worked off published prices and was fast and very detailed in his work. This was for our rental and our tenant was super impressed with his professionalism and knowledge right away as well. Brian is one of the best electricians I have ever hired. Upon inspecting my panel he found out there were also problems with it and we came up with a plan to address those issues as well in a timely manner. Brian explained everything as he went, and worked in a way to best suit my tenant. I would definitely recommend him to others. read more

Very mixed feelings on this business, frankly. We needed big ticket items done (Tesla charger/kitchen lights) and those were done fast and well a year ago. But for the half dozen other things that were in the scope of work, that needed a little more time/research/conversation, we were straight up ghosted as soon as the high-profit-margin stuff was done. Repeated requests to look at the many smaller issues, which were still important to us, went unanswered. Feels like the business is about making money first, helping the client second. I feel like helping the client comes first and the $ will follow. But you can't drive a $100K pickup that way, I guess. read more

Free estimate when he came to our home. Have great recommendation. Very honest. Quick scheduling and accommodated us for a quick install a day after I received my HPWC. Quick install and clean-up. Tested and showed us how it work. Even recommended to check with Tesla on how to make Model X charge faster. Great job on our Tesla HPWC that will work for both Model 3 and Model X. read more

It is getting increasingly difficult to find a good contractor who does a small project in our neighborhood recently. Brian took this job just changing one of my bad GFCi outlets. He finished very quickly. I highly recommend this business. read more

This was the third time that I used Brian's services. This time, with his son Cody, he rewired our panel and fixed the problem with our oven. He is not an ordinary electrician. He is an expert in his field. His work is nothing short of art. And on top of that, he is a great person too. Highly recommended. read more

Very poor customer service. Did not communicate well. Had me rearrange my day to be there for him to show up and then sends a text the day of saying he may or may not show up. Rude and condescending. Would not recommend. read more

I definitely would recommend Brian! I reached out to BR Electric to get a Wall Connector installed. Brian came out the same day to do a walk through to provide an accurate estimate (much appreciated)! Once we decided to move forward with the project, Brian had to special order a new breaker for my setup. When the part arrived, he reached out to see if I was available the follow day (I cleared my calendar)! Brian arrived on time and did a very clean installation and answered all my last minute questions along the way. We were able to complete the Wall Connector, hard wire an outdoor camera, and replaced a lighting fixture all in one visit. I peeked in from time to time to check on how the project was coming along and he made everything look super easy. Brian has been in his field for over 20 years and it definitely shows. If you are in need of electrical work, I would completely endorse and recommend Brian at BR Electric! read more

A friend recommended BR Electric to me. I'd been trying to get an electrician to give me an estimate, or return my e-mail to no avail. I won't name the other companies whom I'm guessing are so busy they don't feel the need to respond, but I will be calling Brian and his team for my future electrical needs. Brian returned my call promptly. He also told me that he was coming to San Francisco and could work me in which was great. He and his assistant installed a new outlet with no additional holes or damage to my walls, working within the existing framework. Bonus! I appreciated that they cleaned up after themselves, leaving no tacks, sawdust, etc., for me to clean. Brian also repaired a broken light fixture for me in the garage. Do yourself a favor and call Brian and his team. Their prices are fair, and more importantly, they do the work in a timely way and get back to you. read more

Excellent Service! I'd certainly recommend BR Electric to anyone for all of your electric needs. Why did I chose BR Electric? First of all, I've had a few issues with my electrics (outlets, lights, etc.), that have occurred over these past few months and needless to say I've been uneasy to have just anyone in the house without the proper personal protection. I finally knew I had to get these electrical issues fixed so I used my home warranty who assigned me an unknown company (NOT BR Electric). I wasn't sure about this unknown company so i checked their reviews on Yelp and quickly cancelled! No way was I going to go with someone who had 2 star reviews. I knew I needed some experts and wanted someone dependable and trusting to fix my issues. So I checked Yelp and came across BR Electric and based on their excellent 5 star reviews I decided to give Brian a call. I'm glad I called BR Electric! It was an easy decision to pay out of pocket for a better company. Brian answered the call.... was very attentive, understanding, quickly fit me into his busy schedule and was able to come over for a evaluation the next evening. Brian was very polite, wore the correct mask protection and mindful of the social distancing guidelines. Brian was able to quickly identify the issue, checked everything properly, and explained in plain language what needed to be fixed with the cost. Understanding my situation, Brian was kind enough to shuffle his workload and fit me into his weekend schedule. Brian turned up on time with his team member (Eddie) to fix the issue. The work was quick, clean and completed as explained. No up sell, no pressure, just a good job at a reasonable cost. I can't thank Brian enough for being as responsive, accommodating and quick as he was. Brian did a great job - I'll be recommending Brian & BR Electric to everyone. Brian's service was above and beyond. read more

I called Brian again to help us replace our whole tesla charging station. He had did my install back in 2014 and it has always worked great, but I think my husband over our charger and messed it up. It was able to charge two model s all these years with not even a problem! We are in Danville San Ramon area and Brian lives close by and was able to come the very same day to fix any problem that he can fix, but The charger is messed up cause I think my husband ran over it with his car.. he won't admit that though! Brian looked at it and told me to get a new charger cause that's what's broken and he'll come and install it for me. So I got a new charger the next day, and he was able to come by late that very same day to help do the install. He's our man! When we want something done, we need it done right and right away! Brian from BR Electric is able to do that. I highly recommend him! read more

Brian is a wonderful guy, and goes *above and beyond* above and beyond. We had him come in to install a high powered wall charger in our place in Blackhawk/Danville. He turned up the Friday previously to quote us, quoted us a fair price, worked out how he'd do it (and actually found a spot in the center of our garage wall so that we didn't have to decide on a particular place for the Model X), and then said he'd be there Monday. He's clearly spoken, no nonsense and really friendly. So, he turns up, installs the charger fast, and we run into the big issue - the X is *dead*. It had no charge in it. We're all kinda worried, and Tesla wants $500 to come and tow my dead car. Now, I'm not saying exactly what happened because Tesla said "don't do that," but Brian vowed to stay there until we found exactly the way to get a powerless Tesla connected to the wall charger, and it's happily charging. His electrical work is clean, he's honest, he's reasonably price and we're gonna bring him back to do more work for us. He's just that good. I've worked with 3 other installers for Tesla chargers over the last 4 years (long story), and Brian is far and away the best. Hire him if you have a tesla, a BMW i8 or BMW i3, or really any electric vehicle. read more

I called BR because I came home and some but not all of my electric was out. I tried resetting all the breakers...no change. BR asked a few questions and promised they would come out but suggested I call PGE first even though some power was working. Said PGE is free and sounds like it is a PGE equipment problem. I followed the advice. After four PGE trucks came and went everything is fixed at no cost. What this tells you is BR is honest, knowledgeable, skilled, helpful and intelligent. And they answered the phone on a Sunday afternoon. I do have some upgrades I was thinking about and now I know who to call! read more

Whoever picked up the phone I didn't catch the name, but almost certain it was Brian. Was the most reliable electrical technician I could have called for my problem. Had a problem for over 24 hours and when I described my situation, Brian instantly knew what it was, and even told me why I thought it was a certain way. I thought fire alarms were beeping in my house for days, but after doing everything and calling every other technician, they all needed to come out to see the problem. BR electric didn't they told me what was wrong and said they didn't want to come out and charge me even though they were super local. Amazing sweet people would definitely go back to them for electrical needs!! read more

Brian offered to come out to my apartment to give me an estimate on electrical work I needed to have done. He said he could come the following morning after 9:00 a.m. So I waited for him to come, but he never showed up. When I finally called him, he said that he had become busy with some other work and hadn't been able to make it. Maybe he could at least have called me to let me know so that I wouldn't wait for him all morning? read more

Both Brian and Eddie were troopers for working in 110 degree heat to replace our outdoor lighting fixtures. Apparently the existing set-up weren't up to code and they made sure to fix that before replacing some of the fixtures. Will definitely book them for future projects! read more

Brian is phenomenal. What I thought was a "minor circuit breaker issue with my dishwasher & garbage disposal" (I know, how stupid is that) turned out to be a giant fire hazard. During his initial diagnosis, Brian saw that the problem required a 4-5 hour fix. He made the time to come back the following day, which was a Saturday... oh wait, a Saturday when the NFL playoffs were going on... to make sure to come out to fix the problem. It got done in the time he said it would, and for the price that he quoted me. I posted a couple of pictures showing the before-and-after. Awesome. He is a stand-up guy and I have already referred him to a friend who needed some electrical work done. read more

Woke up to find that the garage and three outlets in the house were no longer receiving power. I sent an email to several companies for a quote but noticed that Brian had the best reviews so I called him directly. He immediately answered the phone, asked me to text him the details and said he would squeeze me into the schedule. Plus gave me a reasonable rate. He called and texted the that he was on his way a couple of hours later. Got the job done. No up charge. We plan to use him again in the new year for a few projects. Thank you Brian. read more

Brian was very quick to respond, and came 3 days before Christmas to take care of a couple issues. Brian is meticulous & pays attention to the smallest details, going above & beyond the quoted job to take care of some of the small maintenance things to make the home safer. Brian will take the extra 20 minutes to do the job right, even if there's another appointment to get to. Will definitely be the first call for the next electrical job! read more
