Brannan Electric

Laurence H.

I have and old house (built in 1942) and the overhead light in my grandkid's room started going out on us - it only worked intermittently. My grandson said, ""Gampa, my room broken."" So today, Saturday on a holiday weekend, I called Brannan Electric and Dave answered. I explained the problem and he took my number saying he'd call me back. In a few minutes he called and said he'd be by in about another 20 minutes. Good as his word, he showed up and started working on the light switch, making sure that's all it was. He's a really friendly guy and in less than an hour he had the switch changed (no charge for the light switch), had looked at my old fuse box, told me my breaker box was fine, and charged $10 bucks less than he had quoted me over the phone. He also gave a lollipop to my grandson! I am really happy with his service and it's nice to have someone come into my home and be nice and honest. He wasn't trying to sell me anything extra I didn't need and did a great job, exactly what I needed done. Dave Brannan is awesome. Call him and you won't be disappointed in the service you receive. Thanks, Dave!

Dave was amazing and I would recommend him for all your electrician needs. He is very personable and extremely competent to take care of your electronic home repairs. He helped our family with two flood lights that had unique issues but were no problem for him. His price is fair and his follow up awesome! I will only use him next time.

I had Dave come out to help fix the bathroom dimmer switch controlling one of our light bars. Dave was very punctual and friendly. He brought the correct dimmer switch and replaced the dimmer switch very quickly. After this, we had him check some of our two pronged outlets to determine whether they could be replaced with grounded three pronged outlets. He also answered some of our questions related to problems we were having with outdoor lighting. We would highly recommend him for your electrical needs and plan to use him again in the near future

We had a problem removing a very old lightbulb from our bathroom (a part of the lightbulb got stuck and broke off) and called Dave Brannan to see if he would be able to fix it. He saved us money by talking through how he would recommend fixing it (using WD40 and needle nose pliers) and voila, we were able to do it ourselves. Thanks to him for being honest, helpful and empowering us to take on this small job ourselves. We would certainly call him for bigger electric jobs we need in the future.

Dave was very knowledgeable and provide me the information that was needed so I could do part of the work myself. His quote ""Save your money"". The work it did was quick and he even took the time to clean up some items that was not caused by him.

I would strongly recommend Brannan Electric for your small jobs.

Look no further... this is the electrician you are looking for! After a break-in where the burglar ripped out the Air Conditioner fuse box in an attempt to stop the house alarm (unsuccessfully), I was without AC. I received David's name and number from friends who were pleased with his service in the past. From there, my day just got better. I contacted David and he answered his phone right away. Though he was booked for the day, he recognized the priority of the AC issue, due to the sweltering summer heat, and made himself available that afternoon. He had the AC working within 5 minutes of being onsite. While I had him onsite, he also resolved power issues on an outlet in the basement (unexpected GFCI connection and bad breaker) and an outlet in the loft. On top of that, he also fixed the drive-way lights while I was preparing to pay him! All of this was resolved in under an hour!

Not only is David an exceptional electrician, he is a wonderful guy! He was friendly, personable, and informative and we had a wonderful conversation while he was onsite. I could not be more pleased with the service and personal care I received. I highly recommend Brannan Electric for all your electrical needs. I'm so pleased, I am already planning some upgrades that will bring him back onsite. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

Highly recommend.
Used Mr. Brannan twice in the last month for a breaker replacement and a dishwasher that wasn't receiving power. Good guy, with lots of good referrals for other services. Turns out the dishwasher itself was the problem but he checked out all the outlets in the area and made sure things were safe since the dishwasher seemed to be shorting out at the point of its hardwire connection (which he thankfully disconnected). He's a good guy.

I was out of town for a month when the wind broke a large branch off my tree on a Friday night, which took down the power line. SMUD came that same night and rolled up the wire, informing me that they could not put it back up until the repair of the masthead had been permitted, repaired, and inspected by the City. Of course it happened on a weekend!

I got Dave Brannan's name from Angie's List and he had tons of very positive reviews from customers. He called me within 30 minutes of my call on a Saturday morning and went out to check on the damage the same day. He gave me an estimate that was reasonable then proceeded to pull the permit, fix the beast, and bird dog the City permits department until they actually came out to inspect and approve it.

Had it not been for him bird dogging this job, it could have taken weeks to get my power back. He made it his business to keep checking with the City to make sure the inspection was scheduled and actually done. He did his part and went the extra mile to make sure others did what was required of them to complete the work and get my power back on. Dave kept me informed so, even though I was 3000 miles away, I knew what was going on. He helped out in all kinds of ways that made things easier for me. The check I wrote after all that was the exact amount he'd quoted me.

I have dealt with all kinds of bad contractors over the years. This guy is the guy you want. He came up with solutions to potential problems related to my older equipment that was safe but not up to code. Because of him I didn't end up having to replace a bunch of equipment that still worked. I've sought his advice subsequently about some other electrical problems and never had any inkling that he was anything but fair and truthful.

Based on my experience with Brannan Electric, I sure wouldn't put much stock in the bad review he got from Kelli R. He's no con-artist and sure as heck not lazy. He could have taken advantage of me in my time of need because it would have been easy with me out of town. I was warned that some electricians would do that, but he didn't. This guy's the wheat not the chaff.

So, I'm actually a little embarrassed to write this review--and you'll understand why in just a minute. On a Sunday, the lights and fan in the bathroom stopped working. First, of course, I tried resetting the circuit breaker. That was the extent of my electrical fix-it know-how. I hopped on Angie's list and called Brannan Electric because the profile said they welcome small jobs. (I was really hoping this was a small job!) Since it was Sunday, I had no desire to call an electrician out, but figured I'd set up an appointment for a weekday as soon as possible.

David called me back about 5 minutes after I left the voicemail. He was friendly and personable. He instructed me to go hit the ""reset"" button on the GFCI outlet in the bathroom. This, of course, fixed the problem instantly. He didn't set up an expensive house call, he didn't expect anything in return (except for asking me to call him if I needed an electrician in the future!)...

Seriously, now I know better...but how often does a service provider call back on a Sunday AND also tell you how to fix the issue yourself AND not charge you for a service call?

David gets karma points for this. Major karma points.
