Best Smoke Detector Installatio… in Charlotte NC

It's hard to find a good electrician, but Johnathon Brown Electric is so great, I'm already trying to find more lighting projects.

After 12 years of tolerating the fluorescent light in the kitchen, the fella and I finally decided it was time to enter the 21st century. I emailed Johnathon Brown Electric to get a quote on putting in recessed lights along with pendants over the kitchen counter. They emailed me back within an hour and had an electrician out later that same day - a Friday, no less - for a quote.

Ryan was really great at walking us through everything we wanted, what it would take to do it, how long it would take, and how much it would all cost. I asked a million questions, and he had to answer me like I know nothing about lights and wiring... because I don't. But he was so patient! He was able to give us a quote when he came out, and we got on the schedule within a couple of weeks. Each time he came out, we got an emailed schedule reminder along with a call when he was on his way.

The job itself couldn't have gone better. The lights look amazing, and Ryan cleaned up everything perfectly after he was done. The cost was exactly what he quoted us, and you definitely get what you pay for.

Bobby from  LiveWire Electrical came out to help us after me calling him on a Saturday. He was able to work us in quickly. We help out an elderly and it was for her. She had a blown outlet which caused the Window AC unit to not work during the hot August summer. Bobby was prompt, courteous, professional, and his work was exceptional. We appreciate him so much and will only be calling him for all of our needs in the future! Thank you again from the bottom our our hearts!!!

I asked for a quote through Yelp and was pleasantly surprised at the quick response. We set up an appointment for the quote, and again, I was pleasantly surprised that Jose not only gave me a very reasonable quote, but he also installed the ceiling fan immediately. I was expecting to have to make an appointment for another day for install. This business is very professional yet friendly. The old fan was taken away as well as the packing box the new fan came in. The worksite was left clean. Thank you, Jose, for your help!

My man Bill is a beast! What I mean is, he is a superb electrician. A knowledgeable and experienced tradesman. Highly skilled professional at his craft. I contracted him to rewire the whole house (about 1400 SF) plus add more switches, lights, and upgrade the electrical panel and breaker box. Its all labor intensive and he does it all....very well! I highly recommend Bill and Ambrose Electrical

Chad was professional, affordable, punctual, and a pleasure to work with. He did his homework on the project prior to quoting me his rate. My project had layers to it and he communicated effectively. He offered great suggestions on follow up tasks I had surrounding the project, and those suggestions proved extremely helpful. He went above and beyond. Even charging me less once he completed the work. I highly recommend!

Evan came to install what I thought would be an easy fix (swapping out our bedroom ceiling fan for a new one) but it turned out to be a hassle! He was able to get it done and he even used materials he already had due to me missing components from my fan! I would highly recommend

Roman is such a nice guy! He came exactly when he said on a Saturday evening. The business is called Asap and he lives by it. My wife asked him if I needed you at 2:00am would you come ? He said if it was an emergency, sure.  I called him about 7:30pm, he was here and done by 8:45!! Small job, but it needed an electrician. Quick clean professional work! Use this man!

This company is top notch.  We live in a very large house and needed six bathroom fans replaced. They were very thorough and had great communication throughout the project. We will definitely be calling them again for our electrical needs. Lately it's been difficult to find high quality contract and home maintenance specialists, and I can honestly say these people are the BEST. Do not hesitate to give them a call--you will be extremely happy with their attention to detail and level of expertise!

Chris was extremely professional and found time in his schedule to fit us in on short notice over the holidays.  He quickly identified the source of our flickering lights and provided both a detailed explanation of what was happening and our options to remediate.  Luckily it wasn't a fire hazard, and he was able to easily address the problem right away.

Attentive, knowledgable, and easy to work with. They do excellent, detailed work and seem honest & straightforward. I appreciate their responsiveness, attention to detail, that they clean up after jobs, and ease in scheduling. Definitely recommend. Will work with them again.

We just moved into our new house and found that one of our light switches was wiggly and we had an issue with our ceiling fan. I called GB Electrical and Jay came out soon afterwards. He replaced my wonky light switch and fixed my fan problem without issue. Such a nice guy and such a great job.

I contacted Roby for help with my AC units. Judd got me the help I needed almost immediately. Jeremy and hunter worked diligently to diagnose the problems and before long both units were up and running. This company goes way above and beyond the normal level of service. It is not possible for me to mention every positive point. Polite, prompt, professional and very informative. They have earned my loyalty

I also want to single out Anthony Chadwyck who has worked so hard and diligently to keep our Hvac system running. His professionalism and knowledge are second to none. We are very grateful for his help.

Amazing company!! Great service! They are so easy to get in contact with! They go above and beyond! Please see photo below for more!!!

Can't say enough good about these people!! Not only did they do the job timely manner, they were johnny on the spot when a issue came up.( not there fault ). Respectful, clean, knowledgeable. I'm a retired contractor, I wish ALL contractors were this good. I had never heard,or used these guy's before. But now there in my contacts. Thanks guy's

Jim Dickerson is a helluva guy. I worked there for nearly four years, and was never asked to do anything illegal or unethical.  You get what you pay for, and the prices we charged were fair by market standards.  I left after a major contract cancelled, but would have stayed otherwise. I hope that the family has continued with his vision since he has stepped back in terms of management.

Really a mixed experience. My 20 year old water heater started to leak so after a quick trip to Lowe's, I contacted IRV. Robert came out and performed a very thorough and comprehensive review of the situation and provided me 3 options (2 tankless, 1 direct replacement). I went ahead and went for the high eff tankless Rinnai system.
The office was very punctual, giving me appointment updates and the technicians were right on time.
That's when the issues started. The quality of the initial installation was HORRIBLE. I wish I could post pictures.
The plumber attempted to use the existing wall penetration for the exhaust, but somehow convinced himself that the supply also needed to be vented, and went on to create using aluminum flashing and LOTS of silicone and expanding foam, one of the worst wall penetrations possible. That was only outdone by the piping on the outside of the home that looked like two periscopes protruding from a 12 square of aluminum flashing on top of my vinyl siding. It was comical. It's worth noting this is directly off my deck on the rear of my house. A lesser issue was the electrical, in which a new outlet was installed, but instead of running the wire inside the sheetrock to the breaker box, the electrician ran flex conduit out of the wall, along the baseboard and back inside the wall by the breaker box about 6 feet away. It really looks bad. I would later be told that meets code. Lesser issues include the PEX piping that was really just sloppy and the pressure relief valve that was plumbed strangely.
I immediately contacted Leon who while I think was at the job site, did not do the work the first time. He understood my concern, and said he would address it as soon as he was back in town (holiday weekend). Again, great attitude and very responsive.
I showed Leon what my neighbor had done (DIY job), as well as what comes with the unit. Pretty basic stuff. Pics like this all over the internet.
Leon (and his assistant) was again punctual and immediately went about fixing both of the exhaust venting issues. He ended up having to raise the water heater and using commercially available ducting designed and installed what is now a much better installation. I still have a little sheetrock inside to cleanup, but I can handle that. The outside, while better, is still an issue. Because of the initial installation, I am left with 4-6 screw holes in my siding where the flashing from the original installation was installed (along with a lot of silicone again). Short of replacing the vinyl siding, not sure I have a solution.
I will deal with the electrical/sheetrock & PEX piping issues.
I received a survey call shortly after, and I hope the company takes my feedback to heart. When you install a unit like this in someone's finished garage, you need to discuss with the homeowner the installation. What was done was some of the most shabby workmanship I have ever seen. Had I had the 2nd installation, the first time around, I probably would have given IRV 4 or 5 starts. That said,
Leon (and his helper on day 2) - 5 stars
Robert - 5 stars
The plumber that did the work on day 1 - 0 stars (should have gone negative as I also had what we think was a gas leak on the first night to which we were asked to crack the garage door).
The electrician - again, ask the homeowner. Simply stating we don't do sheetrock on a $4k+ job is not acceptable.
Sorry for the lengthy review. I really like the unit. It seems to work well. My lesson - Don't take the installation for granted!

Don't do business with this company. Once a defective light was installed for $225. They refused to take it down for less than $185. Puts my cost at over $1000 for the light and installation. Do not use this company under any circumstances. If I could give 0 stars I would.  No sir the light was not working well when your technicians were there, and when I needed it taken down you refused to do anything but charge me an additional $185 to have it removed. No offer from you other than full price. No worries though I tripped the breakers and took it down by myself in 5-10 minutes. It was really hard. I can understand the $185 price tag when an unskilled person such as myself can do it in 5-10 minutes. Thank you so much and I will assure no one I know and do business will ever use your service. Your a real gem. Good job.
