We've used B&D a couple of times now for some work at our retail store. Recently had a fuse at the meter that went bad. GRU said it was on our side. the guys from B&D were very prompt, respectful and thorough in their repair, even working through not having to shut power to the other stores to fix ours. Will definitely use them again. Very pleased.

I thought I had one circuit problem but it turned out to be two separate problems. The first was an easy fix but the second required a lot of work and expertise. They arrived on time (early in fact) and did their work very professionally. I will use them again anytime. I also liked the communication with their office. The appointment was followed up by a message to my phone with the scheduled appointment. They called before arriving for the appointment.

B&D was able to get to us very quickly while other companies were almost a month wait to even come take a look. The two technicians that came to make repairs were very professional, punctual, and well mannered. They competed the job quickly and cleaned up afterwards. Would highly recommend for any electrical needs. Services: Electrical panel replacement or upgrading, General repairs

Excellent customer service. Knowledgeable and very friendly, respectful staff across the board. Variety of electrical jobs done from new construction allocation to older wiring investigation and concerns that needed sorted or repaired. It was an "okay " to everything reply. No job was too small or too big of a task to offer their help with. Grateful. Money well spent.

Phillip Taylor and his crew of one performed the annual service on our Generac generator. They were prompt, professional, courteous and knowledgeable. The work was completely satisfactory. At $350 it seemed a little pricey for oil change, plugs and air filter change, but I would not have anything but factory authorized service. That's the price of having a generator.
