Robert came out to my Fallbrook home to install a larger-than-average chandelier in my living room. He was on time, friendly and professional. Robert wasted no time and did the whole job start to finish in less than two hours, including testing and final alignment adjustments. My wife and I were 100% happy with the results, all at a reasonable cost. Robert Brown Electrical will be first on our list the next time we need an electrician. read more

Just had Robert out to install a transfer switch so I can hook a generator up to the house next time we have power outages. Scheduling was easy, the install was fast, and he explained how everything worked to me. Great guy that's easy to talk to and gave me some insight into my current system and some changes that should be made in the future. Definitely will be recommending him to anyone I can and will be having him out to do some more work in the near future. If you're looking for a good, honest electrician this is the guy you should be calling! read more

WARNING AVOID ROBERT BROWN ELECTRICAL AT ALL COST!! Because...believe me, it will cost you!! We were shocked beyond belief! After Robert placed a lien on our property only 5 days after receiving his bill, and before he completed the job! Apparently he knows all the tricks to the trade, and this is his normal practice! He's a rather large, over weight guy that thinks he can bully people into paying him by putting a lien on their homes, before he finishes the work. Please share and Warn your friends & family! Details listed below if you want an insight to how he treats his customers and runs his business! While in the middle of a pool remodel & landscaping project. We hired Robert Brown to help us with several electrical jobs and to make the backyard safe for our kids to play. Robert's first job was to troubleshoot and remove the exposed and nonworking Electrical in the backyard. We had some bare wires coming up out of the dirt that really concerned us, and several electrical boxes that needed to be removed or replaced. After meeting with Robert three times, to go over the same thing, we felt we clearly covered in our first meeting. He finally showed up and poked around the backyard for awhile. And before leaving, he asked if my gardener could dig a trench for him, so he could lay the low voltage wire we needed. No problem! Following week on February 20th, 2020 he returned to lay the wire and he handed us a bill for $773.00 that to our surprise included 6 hours of troubleshooting! Shocked and not knowing before hand that our 3 conversations were also classified as troubleshooting? So to say, we were shocked is an understatement! But at that point, we had no reason to doubt he wouldn't finish the job. So we paid him in full upon request. It wasn't until weeks later...and after several no shows, cancelled apps, and I can't make it, I'm sick, and I'm out of town and I can't find the parts...that we started to have our doubts! Finally on Sunday March 8th, 2020. He showed up to install a few lights and a transformer we needed, and we thought...to finish the first job? But once again after only working a half day, and not finishing...he handed us another bill for $715.00 dollars. On this day my daughter didn't leave me a check like usual, thinking she'd be back from work by 2pm, and he'd still be working. I nicely apologized for not having the check. No words were exchanged. We were just so happy to finally see some progress! We apologized again, and thanked him for working on a Sunday, and everything seems fine. He told us to give him a call in a few days when the pool was done filling, and he'd come back and restore the electrical to the pool, and address the electrical that STILL needed to be removed. No biggie! We figured we'd give him the check then. Right? Wrong! Apparently during the middle of the presidents speech declaring national disaster. He had texting me, asking if he could stop by and pickup his check?! No doorbell, or phone calls, nothing! Just one text. But with everything that was going on, and watching the news. I honestly didn't see his text until later that evening. And I responded early the next morning, with no response until Monday...when we received a certified letter/lien notice dated Friday the 13th. Obviously when I didn't respond to his text, he headed straight to the court house to place a lien on our house, only 5 days after receiving his bill. And After US..waiting patiently on him for six weeks, and he still hasn't even start the demo, or removing the bare electrical wires sticking out of dirt?! WTF Who does that to people? Oh...wait, Robert. Brown Electrical does!! Please whatever you do, don't trust anytime Robert tells or texts you! And If you do decide to use this company. Please Make sure you get everything in writing before hand. But truthfully you're still not guarantee he won't do the same thing to you! Legally he doesn't have to finish the job, he only has to make improvements. We told Robert, we'd be happy to pay him, when the job was done. But not to our surprise, Robert declined to finish the work. Response to Robert's comment below: Well First off, we THOUGHT we did hire a electrician to help us with our project! WRONG....We hired & Paid YOU..."Robert Brown for 6 hours of...so call trouble shooting?! Trouble shooting, btw that we never received any results from. All we received from you was excuses and bills! If you were truly a honest person and the job was too much for you? You should of been honest from the beginning, and let us move on, and hire someone that knew what the hell they were doing! Instead of wasting our time & money on you! And btw. You never addressed ANY electrical done by the previous contractor. 2. And secondly! Shame, Shame on you Robert! I have over 40 text messages from you, and not one single message ends with..."Have a blessed day" Robert you are the most dishonest & fake person I have ever met! 3. See you in court! read more

See all

Just had a J box installed. Robert is very friendly, punctual and is a fair price for the quality of his work. He's been around 25 years and it shows. I couldn't be happier and I will definitely be utilizing him for future jobs that need to be done read more

I tried Robert after a neighbor's recommendation and I am glad I did. I recently moved into a new house and there were a number of electrical projects on my to do list. Robert called me back promptly and came out and gave me an estimate for my top three projects. He clearly knew his craft and he quoted a fair price. Today he came and completely all tasks. Everything was done perfectly and I could not be more pleased. On top of being an excellent electrician he is a genuinely nice person! I have a few more projects done the road and I will be calling Robert for sure. read more

Thank you for help. I needed help with a GFI plug in my garage. I called and was greeted with care and understanding and was scheduled a same day visit.

I would highly recommend this business. read more

Robert showed up a bit early and completed my job of rewiring several 3-way circuits in a professional and knowledgeable manner. Pricing was right in line with his estimate and very fair. Best electrician we've ever had work at our home. Will definitely use him again if we need more electrical work in the future. read more

Very responsive, honest and fair. Two other Yelp electricians quoted $175-$200 just for house call and assessment of faulty light switch (and would have covered minor parts and labor). Turned out that I had the remote switch controller batteries in backwards. Robert "fixed" that and didn't charge for the visit. Robert also provided very reasonable estimates for two other electrical repairs that we will be pursuing. Highly recommend. read more

A lot of electricians says they can do the job, but the biggest thing for me was that Robert had great CUSTOMER SERVICE, kept the appointment time, showed up as scheduled and fair pricing. Some of the electricians I encountered didn't call back or had some excuse. Robert is professional, offers suggestions, lays out a plan and goes beyond your expectations. I will use him again and recommend him to friends, family and all of you! read more

I cannot tell you how pleased I am with Robert Brown electric. I recently had Robert do a lot of work for me at home and at my business which turned out top notch. Last night we finished a business relocation of some vital equipment to my operation, and some of my electrical was not working ( not related to previous work). I called Robert and he rushed right over and did an emergency job for me and got me fixed up. Top notch support from these guys. Highly recommend read more
