Excellent service and upkeep. Checked everything and found battery need replacement. Replaced battery then rechecked everything.

There was a mistake made by one of the gas line installers for our generator. Mike (the owner) took care of it and made it right financially. The generator installation otherwise went smoothly and the electricians were professional and competent. Highly recommend this company for your generator installation! How a company responds to complaints is very important. Nothing goes perfectly all the time, and when it doesn't, you learn what the company owner/manager is made of. read more

I've been a Bratcher customer for about 2 years now. Always happy with the quick response time and the quality of work performed. The crew is always polite and responsive. They do not "up sell" and they always have a solution. Overall, extremely happy. read more

I have been a customer for 18 years and decided today I am no longer one. The first time I needed something other than normal maintenance it took forever as Mike needed to be involved for some reason. I did not think you much about it at that time. My generator has not cycled in the last year and was told I needed a new part. Been trying to get this service and can get a call back. Told again Mike needs to be involved. Today called someone else who will be here with the part. Think twice before investing here​ read more

Purchased a whole house generator about 2 years ago from this company and as luck would have it, the generator stops working during every power outage. The service is responsive, but they have no clue of how to fix this Briggs and Stratton generator. At least a dozen times service has been called out with different "solutions" each time. Each time assuring me that it's fixed only to have it stop working at the next power outage. If you go with this company be prepared to pay for their "best guess", I am. read more

Happy. Happy. Happy. The front half of the lights and outlets on all floors went out. And the garage door opener is on the same circuit, and there is no other way into the garage. Resetting the breaker ... buzzed to indicate a short-circuit. What could it be? I had changed nothing. Nothing. The power had not failed to provoke a sympathetic failure. Hmmmm? I did a bit of trouble shooting myself; unplugging everything from the dark outlets to rule out an appliance internally shorting out. No joy. I checked each outlet and switch for signs of spark/arc'ing. Nope. I checked the working circuits to see if neutral had floated (a very dangerous condition that could easily lead to a fire). Nope. Time to call a professional. Karen was confident that they could arrive a bit after lunchtime. Caleb (journeyman) and Alex (apprentice) called to let me know they were enroute. It took a few hours of trouble-shooting to find the short. It was a wire to a stairway light installed by the previous homeowner. Caleb knows his trade well, very well. He was also great teacher, insuring that Alex grasped a proper trouble-shooting methodology. A family owned business since 1956. I will certainly use them again. read more

My experience with Bratcher is awful. Bratcher installed a 20 kw whole home generator at my house in 2012. The first time we have a power outage the generator didn't work. This company is either not very good at what they do or they have no pride in their work. Their customer service is lacking. To go with the generator I wanted regular service as well. Getting them to come out and provide that service has been a nightmare. At times, with no notice they just stop coming. Lately it can take weeks to get an appointment. On the latest appointment I paid them several hundred dollars to find out why my generator was revving. They came and looked at the generator and told me nothing was wrong. Then, weeks later when the power went out, I found it was revving again. I question whether they did any work or review of the generator. I called them to complain. They are unable to send someone to review what I am told is an EXTREMELY serious problem for weeks. They didn't say, we can't help you. They said they would fit me in when they can. I am on their DO NOT ANSWER list. If I call with my regular phone number my call goes straight to voicemail. If I call from another phone they pick it up right away. That is their customer service. Poor technical work. Followed up by stone walling and avoidance. read more

I have been a Bratcher Electric Customer for over 10 years, and Bratcher Employees has always done a Great Job, "However" this past week 2 Bratcher Employees came to replace some needed lights outside my home and instead of bringing the 2 lights taken down for the New Lights that cost over $300.00 dollars combined with the 90Watts Philips lights in them they stole them and never said anything to me about them. I called Bratcher Electric 2 times and said they need to come back to the homeowner and I am still waiting. Is this now the way Bratcher Electric does business? read more

my stand by generator would not stay running..they sent a tech to the house to correct problem. He replaced voltage regulator and declared that the problem was solved..Come next exercise time I had they same problem, would not stay running. They sent the tech back out..this time he decided it could be an internal problem that would require getting inside the generator and it would require someone better able to handle this type of repair.. ok I said, have someone call me with a ball park figure for this work..4 weeks later still have not heard from them. Bottom line, it would appear that a part was changed that was not the problem.. they took my 300 dollars and left me with a non functioning generator. read more

These professionals are well organized, kind, helpful and their pricing is fair. I had them do two jobs for me and am scheduling them for more electrical updates next week. I am very happy with their services and staff and I am sure you will be too. read more

Great company, quality workmanship and competitive pricing. The crew at Bratcher put in a Kohler Generator last week and did a phenomenal job! Chris and his partner worked from 8:30 am to 6:30 pm, doing the install. They treated our house like it was their own, keeping the mess to a minimum. It was greatly appreciated. My wife got three bids on the job and Mike Bratcher was the most competitive. She was also impressed that Mike came out himself and took the time to go through exactly what needed to be done for the install. All in all, we couldn't be more happy with the work Bratcher Electric performed for us. Highly recommended! Dave & Emily Jarrett read more

I called everywhere looking for someone to help us during the selling of our house. We had outside electrical issues that needed to be solved ASAP. After calling and being told again and again by others they wouldn't touch my issues, I was referred to Bratcher Electric... It was that easy and everything was fixed quickly and professionally. I won't call anyone else from now on... They have a customer for life! read more

Don't call if you want your work done in a reasonable amount of time. It has been a month and no one will call us back. That was after I had made numerous calls to get a status. read more

This is an excellent company to work with. They installed and service a whole house generator for us and we also had them do some service entrance wiring. Very pleased with the work and with how they interact with us. read more

These guys are the best. They did great work for my son's house fixing his attic fan and today they repaired a wall plug in kitchen that had fried and moved their schedule around to accommodate my crazy day. Highly recommend them. Very professional and knowledgeable. read more

I want to share my Bratcher experience with people who are considering hiring an electrical contractor, because mine was, in no way good! I got the indirect recommendation from 'The Inside Outside Guys' (local handyman radio program in Detroit, because everybody in the Detroit area knows about the show and I'm anything but electrically acute!!) website. I met with the owner and went over everything that I was looking for. I received a call from their secretary/office gal named Karen a few days later. She verbally listed out what sounded like the majority of the items that I discussed with the owner and I asked her to email me a copy of the estimate so that I could look it over and discuss it with my wife who was unable to be at the meeting. Karen also told me that the price was Six hundred and some change, so I restated my request for a copy of the estimate. Fast forward a few days, I'm out of town, walking into a closing on a new home and I receive a call from my son, who was watching the house, asking me if we hired electricians, because there were a couple at the door. At that point, I have not received the requested estimate, but I told my son to allow them to go ahead. BIG MISTAKE!!!!! Whoever (two guys) they sent was there for around an hour and I still have undone work. When I got back in town, I followed up with Karen and asked about the items that were not completed and inquired as to why she never complied with my request for a detailed copy of the work to be done. She said that she'd have Mike, the owner, call me back to discuss. There's a bill for $647.00 in my mail pile and nothing else by way of communication. I've got an installed, grounded outlet for my stove, a CO2 detector and a portion of a drop ceiling cut out, so that I can have an electrician gain access to the service if it needs to be worked on. Very, very disappointed! read more
