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.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Bill A.Walnut Creek, CA05Jul 31, 2024
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.

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, tooHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Joey C.Orinda, CA42830Feb 22, 2024
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

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.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Sharon F.Fremont, CA01Jun 24, 2024
BR Electric was experienced and professional. The work was completed in a timely fashion and was correctly done at a reasonable cost.

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 !!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Homeshpun M.Moraga, CA0304Oct 18, 2023
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.

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!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Shin F.Concord, CA041Sep 4, 2023
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.

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.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information
