Founded in 1955, Brookline Electric Inc. was created by Mr. John Brookman. In 1970, I applied for a position at the IBEW local 6 union hall and was placed at Brookline Electric Inc. John discovered my passion for old knob & tube wiring and said, ""SUPER!"" so I got started.

John's brother served as the foreman. Together, they made a formidable team. They missed nothing, good or bad. A large project involved rewiring a building after it suffered fire damage. I remember being sidetracked by the Watergate hearings on the television in the office; it was quite some time back.

Around 1990, John faced a cancer diagnosis and entrusted the business to a trust. Rick Brookman, his son, assumed control and eventually sold it to David Belisle's father. One of the best electricians for Brookline Electric was David. For a few years, John and his parents ran the business.

In September 1994, I acquired Brookline Electric Co. to expand my business. It didn’t double as planned, but I gained more business. I have been the owner ever since.

★★★★★

John isolated a lost neutral nearly instantly after I mislead him a few times with my guesses. He had it fixed in no time. He was friendly, prompt, and full of knowledge.

john helped me out by phone on a sunday morning when i was beside myself with an unidentifiable chirping (turned out to be my CO detector) - he came by the next day to install an up-to-date system, which he did very quickly, leaving no mess behind

★★★★★

John is always prompt, professional and competent. He does the job efficiently, and his charges are fair. John is a good problem solver. Not only does he keep the lights on in the house, but he upgrades the smoke and CO detectors. When I have an electrical issue, John is the person I call. He's most reliable.

John is prompt, efficient, and has great attention to detail. He installed a new light fixture in our vintage bathroom, installed and checked the smoke/CO detectors in the hallway, and gave practical suggestions for a ""fix"" in the closet of our old rental property. We will be using him again when necessary.

It was great to have John come and install new smoke alarms in our house. He also helped with some light fixtures. I will definitely call him again.

He helped me install two wall outlets which took around one hour and he charged me over $280. I will never use this service for sure.

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.
