Great job figuring out my problem.

Highly recommend  for any issues you may have.

Friendly technicians who cleaned up after the job.

They drove out here and cancelled because they couldn't find parking right next my house. There was parking a block away. I watched someone park 1 minute after they called me half a block up my street. All that needed to be done was to replace a couple outlets and to get a quote on some additional work for a later date. They complained to me that I scheduled them to come out when there was construction going on on an adjacent street, not even my street. As if I'm supposed to know when the city is doing construction a block up from my house.... But also, as if that should stop an electrician from just showing up to the job, because they don't want to walk a block with some tools...

Edit To Respond To Jeff: There was plenty of available parking if they had spent more than 5 minutes looking. Your guys didn't convey the situation to you accurately. Additionally, they directly blamed me for scheduling the visit during a time that the city was laying pavement, that is when I lost it.

If you want an electrician who gives up and blames you because there isn't a convenient parking space then these are the guys for you.

They have done a few jobs price very fair they honor their warranties In one instance hui=is employees said something could not be done due to the way the house was uilt. When I came back into room half hour later they had found a way to do the work. I would recommend them to everyone (thght I had already submitted a review

Wonderful experience!! Dominic was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable!  I would highly recommend this company!!

UPDATE TO MY REVIEW THIS MORNING.  Today I received a call from the owner Jeff and he advised me there was an inadvertent overcharge as he thought 2 GFI/Switchs and bubblecovers were purchased and installed during the Worker's visit.  He apologized and said he noticed it when he processed my payment today and reviewed the invoice.  His call and response was professional and the right thing to do.  He is correcting the charge error as well.  Therefore, I am satisfied with the outcome and appreciate his actions.

I'm very pleased with my entire experience with Brandon Electric. We needed to upgrade some old wiring in our home, so we gave them a call. Jeff came out on Saturday morning (which was so convenient instead of shifting around the workweek), explained exactly what was needed and gave me an extremely fair price. We also discussed future work that I was considering, knowing it would be a bigger job, and Jeff explained to me that I wouldn't necessarily need all of that, and he explained easier, cheaper alternative work that can be done. A lesser electrician would have seen dollar signs in his eyes. So I instantly got the feeling he was trustworthy too.

They came back and did all of the work exactly as expected and the end result is a very clean, professional looking upgrade in our basement. I couldn't be happier with Brandon Electric and I will recommend them to anyone who ever needs work done.

I've used Brandon Electric for large jobs and small over the years.  Excellent service.
Tricky problem recently.  Storm tore main electric cable from side of house, along with fascia and trim.  Needed to sequence work of PECO, siding repair, and painting along with electrical work.  Jeff Shefsky, head of Brandon Electric, came to my house several times to assist and provide guidance on how to proceed.   Always prompt response.  
Highly recommended.

Jeff came out to our house to perform a free estimate. He took a look around for 15 minutes, then informed my husband that it was just the breaker and that he had fixed it right there and then. He said he'd send a bill, which we figured was fair enough since the problem was fixed, after all. He never indicated a price to either of us before or after the service and we never agreed to any price because none was ever given to us.

A few days later we were sent a bill for $175. Somehow, a free estimate (as listed right on his Angie's List page) that lasted 15 minutes turned into a $175 service charge. When I emailed him to ask him about the charge and how he got that number, he gave me a step by step (literally--he even told me how many times he walked back and forth between the house and garage) retelling of that 15 minutes. That still didn't explain why he is advertising free estimates as such if they aren't, in fact, free. I informed him that if he had to perform billable work to complete an estimate, then he shouldn't offer them for free. Had he told me upfront that he would need to charge us for testing, I would have asked the price and agreed or passed on the appointment. That is the fair way to do business.

In response, Jeff sent me this email [sic throughout quote]:

You know what? Forget it. On me!!  I dont want you as a customer. I dont want your money   Please dont ever call me again for service. Im happy to fix your problem for free , but i choose to never service you again. Its not worth the aggravation. i never in 30 years have been treated like this. Have a nice day.

It was incredibly unprofessional and downright rude. MY emails were firm, but always polite. I had offered to pay for a portion of the bill since I did think it was fair to pay for fixing the problem. Had he had an explanation for why the bill was so high (travel costs, parts, something like that), I would have paid the whole thing; however, Jeff had no explanation for these costs and instead resorted to throwing a temper tantrum.

I took it upon myself to post this email on Facebook yesterday and in less then 24 hours I've had others come to me and tell me that Jeff tried to con them or their friends out of money. So buyer beware--this is not a person you want to do business with.

UPDATE: Since posting this review, Jeff has sent me messages through email and Yelp apologizing for his behavior, but I chose not to respond because he seems very unpredictable. As a result, he is now attempting to say that I'm lying, etc. I still have the emails between the 2 of us, as well as a screenshot showing that he advertises on Angie's List for free estimates he is not willing to provide. Nothing I have posted here is untrue in any way. Based on his current behavior I can only assume that his attempts at an apology were only made to make me alter my review and now that he isn't getting his way, he's trying to discredit me. This is not someone you want working on your home. And by the way--the power is out in my garage again so his fix was a total waste of 15 minutes anyway.

Very good experience!! Professional, courteous, fair priced, respectful! Would definitely recommend this company! Thank you!

I've used Brandon Electric for 12 years!

Anyone that has ever owned a house knows how hard it can be to find good, reliable contractors. Brandon Electric has provided a very wide range of services for me over the years. Everything from electric service upgrades to installing a ceiling fan. More recently, they installed LED recessed lighting in several rooms as part of a multi-phase project.

Jeff and team are ALWAYS extremely responsive; and the work is always very neat and professional. I have only good things to say about my experiences with Brandon Electric over the last 12 years.

Jeff returned my calls in a timely manner and sent someone out to review what started as a replacement for my bathroom exhaust fan. I wanted an upgrade and was told they needed to run another line. Since we had a lot of lines running out of our circuit box I had his company do a full house assessment. We did need a larger box and some of the outlets needed replacing. Although the price for all the work, including the installation of the new fan, was more than we had bargained for, Jeff worked with us to help make it affordable. Five guys came out to do all the work. They were polite, informed us what was happening every step of the way, and cleaned up afterward. The bonus was, because they left the basement door open, my cat got out. Not once but twice. They helped us find her and were great with her :-) I highly recommend them.

Brandon electric provides GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. Along with experienced professionals. The electrician and assistant were speedy, clean and respectful. I was contacted immediately by email and phone to  set up a  time for Mike to come and evaluate the jobs. Mike arrived promptly, provided a written  quote. I accepted and my work was scheduled. New panel installed, troubleshot some receptacles and fixed them, checked two overhead light fixtures and replaced the photocell on my outdoor lamp post.Overhead light fixtures need  to be replaced and rewired, Carlos   provided me with a written quote and told me to call as soon as I purchase new fixtures.  Carlos was great, as was his assistant . I will definitely use them again and will recommend to family and friends.

I've been using Brandon Electric for years. What a great honest and fair priced outfit. What a releaf when I purchased my latest home and saw Brandon ' s sticker on the 200 amp panel. Jeff, Mark, Carlos and all the fellas are terrific.

I have called and worked with this company three times now and each time they are extremely professional, do a wonderful job, and charge a fair price. The last time they installed the receptacle a few inches too high for my new stove to fit. I called and they gladly came back the next morning and moved it for me without making a fuss. I would highly recommend working with them for projects large and small. They showed equal attentiveness and professionalism no matter how small the project was. A wonderful experience!!!

Over the past few years I have called Brandon Electric to replace outlets, run new circuits through foundation, and replace our electrical panel.  The result has always been clean and professional.  Projects are completed within estimated time frame and I don't think I've had to wait more than a week to get a project started.  Will call again (without hesitation).

I had the complete opposite experience of the previous commenter.  We requested an estimate earlier this week, and one of the staff came out within two days, early in the morning to accommodate our schedule.  He did a thorough check on all of the electrical issues in our new house, and explained in detail how each of them could be addressed and quoted what seemed to be fair prices for each.  We did not actually make a follow up appointment for work done, because we have a lot of other things going on with our new house at the moment, but we did not receive a bill for the free estimate.  We plan to call Brandon Electric in the medium term future when it is time to deal with our electrical issues.

They came, provided an estimate, and completed the work on time and neat as a pin. No added costs and very pleasant to work with. Highly recommend Brandon electric.
