Founded in 1955, Brookline Electric Inc. was created by Mr. John Brookman. In 1970, I sought employment at the IBEW local 6 union hall and was assigned to Brookline Electric Inc. Upon finding out I enjoyed working with classic knob & tube wiring, John enthusiastically said, ""SUPER!"" and I began my journey.

John's sibling held the foreman position. They worked well together. Nothing escaped their attention, whether good or bad. A large project involved rewiring a building after it suffered fire damage. I recall being distracted by the Watergate hearings on the office TV, which feels like ages ago.

In the early 1990s, John was diagnosed with cancer and placed the business into a trust. His son, Rick Brookman, took over the operations and later sold it to David Belisle's father. David was among the top electricians at Brookline Electric. For a few years, John and his parents ran the business.

In September 1994, I bought Brookline Electric Co. with the aim of expanding my business. While it didn’t double, I did see an increase in business. Since then, I have continued as the owner.

Brookline is a friendly operation to do business with; solving one of those ""I've got this"" situations with a light touch of humor that said, ""Einstein would've stumbled here, but let me give it a try"", and then he switched two wires and the lights came on. Yep, a life coach type of guy.

John arrived in under 20 minutes when I recently had an emergency situation where my lights were flickering wildly and several appliances had overheated. He was competent, congenial, and professional, and immediately figured out that the problem was with an ""open"" neutral wire from the PG&E feed. He helped me contact PG&E, and was still present when the PG&E truck arrived and made sure that they had properly solved the problem. On top of that, his rates were very reasonable. I would not hesitate to call him again if the need arises.

John installed a kitchen fixture which proved to be a bit more challenging than predicted. I felt very comfortable with his presence. He is very knowledgeable, a great problem solver, very patient, had all the right tools and adaptations necessary for the job and completed quality work in a timely manner.

John was quick in responding to my request for service, timely on arrival, courteous and professional. I needed to find out why my lights were not working, and John quickly solved the problem. I would certainly use him again.

John was very easy to contact and set-up an appointment to fix an incorrectly installed light switch that blew out all our power. As I called him he sent a text with instructions and I was able to set-up an urgent appointment. He did great work, as well as explaining the problem and how he fixed it. Thanks John!

I was so impressed with how easy it was to set an appointment and how John was able to provide directions ahead of time to solve my circuit breaker problem, which totally worked and saved us both time (and saved me money). Not all electrical issues could be solved like this, but it's sure nice when an electrician understands how to both solve the problem and enable a homeowner.

It was easy to schedule an appointment with John. He arrived on time, was very personable and solved 3 problems for us in 40 minutes--revived our stove hood light, repaired our toaster and installed an outdoor light fixture. Highly recommend him.

Mr Peters is punctual and punctilious. After quickly fixing our problem with outlets, he reviewed our smoke alarm setup, offered updating solution, and installed same, in one visit. Excellent texting communication all along from booking to visit, and follow-up as well. Would definitely call on him again.

John is the electrician you want. He quickly found a concealed bare
wire that made my kitchen light inop and dangerous. He rewired the
fixture on site. I had him install a new service light fixture and repair a hallway light. He installed two new smoke detectors. John can do
about anything with skill and speed. You need him for you electrical
