The dryer stopped working. We figured out the problem was with the electrical fuse box (we have had that problem before). We have a house that built 55 years ago, and the switches are no longer available. Rob came out, and we discussed several solutions. Chose one, however that did not work out. This entire time, Rob kept searching electrical supply businesses for the proper switch. He finally located one (not an easy feat), and it was quickly installed. Best part about the experience was discussing how the electrical could be fixed, and feeling as though Rob cared about the quality of work that they did, as well as getting us the best possible price.

Response from Brighter Connection
OUR PRICES ARE VERY COMPETITIVE. I DON'T REMEMBER TALKING THIS MEMBER AND I FIND IT REALLY HARD TO BELIEVE I ACTED SO UNPROFESSIONAL THAT I DESERVE AN "F". BY READING OTHER MEMBERS POSTS ABOUT US, YOU CAN SEE OUR SERVICE IS AFFORDABLE AND HIGHLY RATED.

We had a code violation for a condo we were selling and it needed immediate attention. Rob responded quickly and had Oren in our condo within a day. He helped us with the city and guided us through permits and everything we needed to get up to code. We liked them so much that we had them come to our new home the next week to do miscellaneous electrical work. The cost above includes supplies so we think the pricing was very fair. Oren did the work and was conscientious and very pleasant. Rob checked his work and ensured our satisfaction. He also had planned the job with us to find the most cost effective solutions for our budget. Could not recommend them more highly. Would use them for anything that comes up.
Description of Work: Hot water heater needed a shut off valve. Replaced under mount cabinet lights with LCD lights, replaced two fluorescent fixtures; one with regular bulb fixture and the other with LCD rope lighting. They also did some work in our garage rewiring the light.

Rob came to my home within days of my calling, gave me an estimate on the spot and we scheduled a time to have the work done. Oren was prompt, neat and even did a repair to the ceiling so one of the lights would fit properly.

Brighter Connection people came in several times for various phases of the project. They were always pleasant and clean, and did the work right the first time. Inspections were no problem even though our town has a reputation for tough inspecting.
Description of Work: Brighter Connection provided the electric work for installing a new 1/2 bath in our former coat closet. I don't know the price, because it was included in the bill from the general contractor. Work included connecting light fixture, ventilation fan, light switches, door bell. They also grounded a gas line at request of the inspector.

I called Rob on a Sat. and left him a message. I heard back from him that very day. We scheduled to meet on Monday at 10:00. He was running a little late but called to let me know. When he arrived he was polite and very easy to talk to. He looked at the job and even gave me suggestions on how to keep my costs down. I had originally wanted recessed lights in the exercise room but he suggested the florescent because of the heat factor with recessed and also the added cost. We scheduled the work to be done on that Wed. On Wednesday Rob and Tom arrived promptly at 8:30. They walked through the basement with me to make sure I was happy with the lay-out. Tom stayed and did all the work on Wed. and Thurs. Tom was very polite and was a great worker! He always checked with me on the placement of fixtures and switches. I felt very comfortable with him in my house. When the job was finished I received a call from Rob to make sure I was happy with everything.
Description of Work: 10 recessed lights installed with dimmer switches in basement play room, 6 florescent lights with double switches installed in basement exercise room, and 6 electrical outlets installed in both rooms.

The work went exceptionally well and quickly for the amount of wiring that had to be done. Rob came in and went over all that had to be done and then Orin came and with the help of the journeyman they we able to finish all the work in 4 1/2 hours. They were neat and cleaned up after they were done with all the work.
Description of Work: Wired two fans that did not have power to them. Installed a dining room light that did not have any power going to it and changed out a fan in the powder room to a light and fan unit. Also, changed out the dining room light for a ceiling mounted light.

Rob was thorough, professional, personable and honestly created a sense of concern for my issue, and resolved it easily and competently within a short period of time. I thought I could handle the work and found myself in over my head. Rob came out the same day and solved it. Very fair price and excellent workmanship. I will hire Brighter Connection again.
Description of Work: Came to the house--on the day of the call--due to our specific lack of electrical in a portion of the house. Diagnosed the problem--related to the ceiling fan installation going on. Our home was built in 1950 and many of the wires are cracking fraying and need serious attention. Installed an additional box in the attic to accommodate the current wiring issue, and installed the ceiling fan in the bedroom.

ROB WAS ON TIME, EXPLAINED WHAT HE WAS DOING. IT PROBABLY WASN'T EASY HAVING THE HOME OWNER STANDING OVER HIS SHOULDER ANALYZING HIS EVERY MOVE. THANK YOU FOR THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AND ANSWERING OUR QUESTIONS.
Description of Work: WE USUALLY DO ALL OUR OWN HANDIWORK AROUND THE HOUSE, BUT WE HAD A FEW STRANGE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT WE JUST COULD NOT FIGURE OUT. FIRST OF ALL WE HAD A THREE-WAY SWITCH THAT WE HAD TO TURN OFF AND ON TO GET THE UPSTAIRS LIGHT TO GO ON. WE HAD TO GO UP AND DOWN THE STEPS TURNING ONE ON AND THEN THE OTHER. OUR SECOND PROBLEM WAS RECEIVING AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK OFF AN OUTLET IN THE BASEMENT. THE ELECTRICIAN FIXED THE THREE WAY PROBLEM AND THEN SAVED US MAJOR PROBLEMS IN THE BASEMENT. HE FOUND A PIPE WAS DRIPPING ONTO THE FLUORESCENT FIXTURE THAT WAS POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS. THE METAL FIXTURE WAS ABOUT TO RUST THROUGH CAUSING WATER TO DRIP ON THE LIGHT. HE ALSO FIXED OUR WOBBLY CEILING FAN.
