Best Businesses in North Carolina

Chad and Jason did an excellent job with mounting our television, installing a light in my daughter's closet, and troubleshooting and fixing a light switch in our foyer. We highly recommend Tri-City Electric, and will use them again!

Some areas of my new home required additional interior and exterior lighting. Daniel had to navigate through the cramped attic and insulation to install outside motion lights, and to hang a light over the kitchen island.  In addition, he installed under-cabinet lighting in my kitchen.  Daniel arrived promptly and stayed late to complete the work, while keeping to his original quote which was very reasonable.  I would highly recommend him and would not hesitate to have Daniel return to do additional work.

Roger with Jim Electric did a great job installing the outlets I needed for my salon. He understood the urgency of the project and worked hard to get what I needed done before my deadline. Everything works as it should and I am very happy with the value of the work he done.

I'd highly recommend Paul and Call 1 Home Services if you're in need of home repairs. Paul is very easy to work with and did a great job with all the repairs listed on the inspection report. All the work was completed within a few hours and all deficiencies/defects were fixed and are now in perfect working condition. And the areas around the repairs were kept clean as if everything was brand new. The next time I need repair work done in my home, I'll know who to contact!

I wish there was a way to give negative stars.... unfortunately, I have to give at least one in order to warn future suckers like me.  My lights had been flickering for a few days so I called the power company who said there was nothing wrong (Duke Power, and I will get to that in a moment) Shortly after that we started losing power in certain rooms off and on.  We researched electricians and came up with Brilin because somehow they have a good rating?! The technician came out and was very friendly and seemed very knowledgeable.  My boyfriend and I are clueless when it comes to electrical work.  The technician showed us what he called burned wires and said we had a major fire hazard and we needed to get things rewired immediately to the tune of $1,160 and furthermore, to REALLY  fix the problem, we need to get a new breaker box and completely rewire that because a couple fuses were doubled up and this was causing all of our problems.... which he could fix for an additional $1,650... so now the total was $2810 and we already paid $125 for the estimate.  He had us fooled by claiming he would throw some stuff in for free and even called back the next day and said he spoke with his manager who said they could drop the total price to $2500 if we did all the repairs the next day although we need to leave a 50% deposit.  I found it odd that this company was willing to send someone to pick up a check when they are in Fort Mill SC and I am in Charlotte NC... and they seemed extremely eager... so I called a friend from out of town who owns his own electrical company and he offered to come check it out.

NONE OF THE REPAIRS WERE NECESSARY.  THE PROBLEM WAS A DEAD LEG OUTSIDE THE HOUSE THAT WAS DUKE ENERGY'S RESPONSIBILITY.  Apparently the house is supposed to get around 440 watts? volts? who knows... but we were getting 120.  As for the burned wire.... it was a copper wire that had some paint on it.  My friend said If a wire was 'burned' you would know....  He agreed that a couple of the breakers were doubled up and need to be done but were not super critical.  He will be by this week to replace those... $15 each.  We called Duke who came out immediately and with a 10 minute repair OUTSIDE fixed all out issues inside.  My friend was furious and said that Brilin was FOR SURE trying to rip us off and called them fucking crooks.  He didn't want to see the estimate because he said he knows people who work for Brilin and he didn't even want to know because he was so disgusted.  

AS I AM WRITING THIS.... BRILIN JUST PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY!!  I never gave a deposit or ordered the work!!!  I feel bad for the guy who just showed up to do the job because I just unloaded on him.  His response after I told them what crooks they are was as follows, and i quote, We are better than most companies, I used to work for Mr. Sparky and they are WAY WORSE soooooo..... I guess Mr Sparky is one to stay away from as well.

don't be fooled like we were! less than one month into the contract with this family owned company a myriad of things went wrong. few examples...our main cable line was cut during pruning (to which they tried to deny it was them), several sprinkler heads were broken (and not fixed because it couldn't have been them), landscape lighting was turned over and left for my husband to find, yard tools were left on the property--i could go on and on. and don't forget, this is all is just 2-3 weeks time! as platnium package customers our acre property was maintained in less than 25 minuters each week--i take that back, because i hurt the feelings of the maintenacne division manager (who happens to be the father of the owner) they did not show up to cut my lawn on the 4th week! the owner ,mike haynes, was to attend a meeting at my home to put the past behind us and start fresh. mike did not show up nor did he follow up after the fact. it is very apparent family rules here and not the customer. if daddy's feelings get hurt, (this is a quote from the account manager) then mike breaks and contract. or rather just allows his crew (his father's crew) to not show up and honor the contract without letting you know! total joke of a company and overpriced at that! DO NOT FALL PREY to these unprofessional, highly sensitive individuals. DO NOT RECOMMEND.
