Brugger Electric

Brugger Electric is John Brugger's solo North Shore operation, and its Google page — 27 reviews, every one five stars — reads like a run of small jobs done right rather than one big project. A neighbor's Facebook recommendation, a tripping-outlet repair, a new ceiling fan, flood lights, outdoor porch outlets with the feed lines tucked out of sight: the record is mostly quick, contained visits, and reviewers keep noting how fast he responds and how closely his quote matches the final bill. A few accounts go further than "good electrician." One customer says he drove 40 minutes mid-job to replace a cracked switch cover rather than leave it broken. Another, with an older house and what they call "weird wiring," has hired him repeatedly for recessed lighting and new switches and says he works around the quirks without complaint. A third, whose dining-table dimmer wasn't compatible with the existing fixture, says he explained plainly why it wouldn't work rather than forcing it. Recent activity has been heavy and clean: 16 reviews in the last six months, none negative. Worth a small note: several reviews name the electrician "Jake" rather than "John," even though the company's own site describes Brugger Electric as solo/owner-operated by John Brugger. It isn't clear from the record whether that's a second technician, a nickname, or a mix-up on the reviewer's part — either way, it's worth asking who exactly will show up before booking. Brugger Electric is a solid pick for the everyday electrical list — a tripping breaker, a light fixture, a stubborn dimmer — from someone whose own site also lists panel upgrades, rewiring, EV charger installs and backup generator setup for bigger jobs, though the reviews on file lean toward the smaller end of that range.
