Brookline Electric Inc. was established in approximately 1955 by 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 brother served as the foreman. They formed a strong partnership. They missed nothing, good or bad. We undertook a significant project to rewire a large building after a fire incident. 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. John, along with his parents, managed the business for several years.

I purchased Brookline Electric Co. in September 1994 to grow my business. Although it didn’t double, I experienced growth in my business. I have been the owner ever since.

Very prompt arrival for both the work days. John is a great communicator and a master electrician. After we discussed the problem with the ground fault in the power supply to my spa, we agreed on a plan to to not only fix it but add a timer to the system and lower my power cost as well.

I will definitely hire Brookline the next time I need electric help at this old house.

They were on time , professional and lifesavers ! It turns out the smoke alarms in my parents home were not active as they are part of a burglar alarm system my parents don't use. Thanks to Brookline I have purchased proper smoke alarms and installed them . They also fixed our electrical problem quickly . I will call them again , thank you John and Brookline you were a great help !

John is a master of his art. Not only is he a highly experienced electrician who can get the job done quickly, he is a master of service--from the moment I called until his final email. Since he did work for us years ago, my name was in his phone--when I called he answered using my name. A couple days after he completed the work, he asked if I was completely satisfied and offered to address any outstanding concerns. I wish every service professional took this approach!

Guy was very quick, helpful, polite, actually was able to help me over the phone, charged a fair price for a quick bit of help from a pro which he let me know upfront. Will call again next time I need an electrician.

This guy is a con man. He can diagnosis the problem, but can't fix it. Instead he wants to sell a fire alarm. Recommended by Bay Electric so I suspect they are in on it. Don't contact this firm if you want work done.

I'd definitely recommend John. He reinstalled a bathroom lighting fixture for us this past week. He was prompt in responding to my initial inquiry, got us on his calendar, and was friendly and helpful throughout. Will call him again next time we need an electrician.

My wireless doorbell did not work. We called him and he said it was the old battery. I asked if it was more than that...he said NO. Well he left, I went to Walgreens to get new batteries, and it still does not work. He came back to replace our doorbell without charging us labor, and just the cost of doorbell itself.
