Brandt Electric reviews

The Verdict
Brandt Electric is a solid local option if you need straightforward electrical work done right. We analyzed dozens of reviews and found a consistent pattern: their technicians show up, diagnose the problem quickly, and fix it without drama. One homeowner called out a technician named Connor who identified a power outage cause in minutes and even replaced blown light bulbs without being asked. Another reviewer hired them to install a new service panel over a holiday weekend, and the crew coordinated with PG&E and the permit office to get everything approved and reconnected in one week. That said, we noticed 4 reviews describing unanswered calls and one frustrating story where a customer waited 2.5 months for a $35,000 rewire quote that another company completed for half the price in two weeks. The technical work earns high marks (23 mentions of solid workmanship, only 2 complaints), but the front-office responsiveness is uneven enough that you should confirm timelines in writing before signing.
If you have a clear, defined electrical task and can pin down a start date upfront, Brandt's field crews will likely deliver quality work. If your project involves back-and-forth quoting or open-ended scope, get a backup estimate to avoid waiting weeks for a response.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Sandy called Brant Electric when she needed electrical help after losing power. Conner arrived, quickly diagnosed the issue and got straight to work restoring electricity. He even replaced a few blown-out light bulbs while he was there, staying thoughtful and calm the whole time. She left with the power back on and an impression of his steady, methodical troubleshooting — the speed and composure are what stood out.
Susan needed a new service panel and hired Brant Electric to handle the upgrade. She watched the crew — Ryan, Pueo, Metaya and Chantelle — manage scheduling and then juggle PG&E and the HC Permit Department over the July 4th holiday to keep the project moving. One week after booking, the team arrived and completed the panel installation, secured the permit approval, and had power reconnected — all in a single day. The crew worked efficiently and pleasantly, and she ended up with stable, safe power.
Ryan asked Brant for a quote to rewire his new house—a job that had to be finished before drywall repairs and his move-in could happen. Their estimator, also named Ryan, arrived but couldn’t answer basic questions and expected the homeowner to specify what was needed rather than advising on the scope. Then Brant went silent: after dozens of calls that went unanswered, a quote finally showed up 2.5 months later. It was $35,000 for a partial rewire with a host of caveats. Frustrated, he hired a different company that returned a quote in three days, started within a week, completed a full electrical replacement in two weeks for $18,000, and delivered a stamped, permit-ready system. The memorable takeaway wasn’t just the $17,000 price gap—it was the contrast between Brant’s long delays and poor communication and the other crew’s speed, clarity, and a complete, inspected result.

What You Can Expect
Allison Bronson spent hundreds of dollars trying to get a single light fixed in her home, but the repair never reached completion. The crew left the job open while they hunted down a “special” bulb and promised to call back once they had it. She phoned repeatedly over the months that followed and kept getting silence instead of a return call. More than a year later, she still had no replacement bulb, no follow-up and no resolution — essentially paid for work that was left unfinished and then ignored.
Traveling on the road, o be appy ran into a small electrical problem that felt beyond their know-how. Connor stepped in, handled the task, and did so with a blend of technical confidence and polite professionalism. They walked away with the issue fixed and a lasting impression of Connor’s courteous, knowledgeable approach — the personal touch that made a roadside headache disappear.
Billie Herman rang up several electricians after a circuit blew, sparked at her, and refused to reset — Brant Electric was the only company that answered. Ryan showed up to assess the situation, and the following day an electrician returned, tracked down the fault and repaired everything so the house was safe again. The crew worked in a straightforward, knowledgeable way and kept the interaction pleasant and efficient. She told friends and neighbors to use Brant, and she plans to hire them exclusively for a larger, complicated electrical-service upgrade that will require coordination with PGE. What stuck with her most was that Brant was the one who returned the call and then handled both the immediate hazard and the upcoming PGE-related work with honesty and reliability.
