Brannan Electric

This guy drives unsafe. He flew through a stop sign in front of traffic. We had to slam on our brakes. He had drove right through the stop across Auburn to the other street across the road. No respect for others. My groceries flew everywhere. I'm glad my kids weren't in the car.

We spoke with Dave about our electricity issue and he helped us. He was knowledgeable and honest. He followed up to make sure we were satisfied. He was a pleasure to work with!!

Dave just replaced an old bathroom vent fan for us. He called in advance, was on time, saved us $$, gave us a 1 year parts and labor warranty in writing, and did a great job! Thanks

David from Brannan Electric is fast, effient and hilarious.
He went above and beyond while telling us great stories.
I would recommend him to my own mother.
Hire this guy for all of your electrical needs

Last week a local AC company fried our breaker box and wished to charge us an exorbitant fee for their mistake.
I quickly turned to Brannan Electric. David was able to modify his day's schedule to fix the breaker within an hour at a fraction of the cost.
Thanks Brannan Electric for A+ service, we were not left to swelter in the day's forecasted 97 degree heat.
Beyond that, David recommended a much better, reasonably priced AC company so we wouldn't have to deal with incompetent AC techs anymore.
Thanks Brannan Electric.

Dave came out to diagnose an electrical problem in my rental property. After hearing the problem, he knew immediately what to check. I appreciated his experience, prompt diagnosis and immediate action. He got SMUD out to the house within the hour and they fixed the problem. He even called to follow up on the fix.

Once again Brannan Electric save the day at my home--he replaced a bad switch to the front patio lights AND installed a timer while he was at it, and he did it all for an incredibly reasonable price in comparison to a quote I received several years ago from another for a timer. I've used Brannan Electric several times in the past, and Dave has always been reliable and quickly fixed my problem. In my experience, many in the home repair industry are very unreliable (they make appointments then don't show up--or call), and when they do show up charge excessive fees for poor quality work. Not Dave. If he suspects your problem is something you can fix on your own, he'll walk you through it on the phone for no charge. Who does that nowadays?! Great old fashioned service by a knowledgeable electrician.

David came out as part of a home warranty call! He was fabulous! He was able to reassure me that the problem was not a wiring problem but a light fixture issue -- very relieved that my house wasn't going to catch on fire. Also, took the time to fix the light fixture at no additional charge -- pieces of an old bulb had broken off and it took some fighting with it to get it out. David would not give up until he won the battle. He was also nice enough to check some other outlets for me and saved me a couple of hundred dollars on a new light fixture when the old one is working now just fine! Would definitely use him if you are in his area!!!!

My hot water heater went out, and I discovered that it was due to a lack of power. I called Dave Brannan for electrical service. He was more than helpful and actually did some troubleshooting over the phone. I was able to solve the problem as he walked me through the steps. He saved me the $130 to come out, all while sick at home. I would definitely call again for electrical problems!!

I won't be using Brannan again.

Dave will be a great electrician for some, but not for me, nor could I recommend him to friends or family.

He did some work for me last year. He got the job done, and I appreciate that. What I didn't know when I hired him was that I would be his assistant for the almost 3 hours he was there. He claimed he gave me a break on the price for helping him. I claim he also spent time repeatedly calling Home Depot, then flirting with the woman on the phone (""I want to date your voice"") so that he could tell me what the pricing was on some lightbulb, which was not necessary and something I was fully capable of looking into myself. In the meantime, I was on my way out of town that evening and had to leave late because I couldn't get anything done while he was here.

He is friendly. He will give you recipes and restaurant tips. But he leans to the right and I did NOT appreciate him using a derogatory in reference to gays nor did I want to go see his political bumper sticker on his truck... which he insisted I do. Also, while he was very friendly with me, he pulled major attitude on a phone call with a potential customer, only to make remarks about the man's lack of English skills once they hung up. He tried to give the guy some advice over the phone, but it was loaded with unnecessary attitude.

Had we been at his place of work, I would have left. If my guy had been at the house, he would have told Dave to leave. But I was home alone at the time, getting ready to go out of town, and my electrical issues were in his hands. I needed the issues resolved that day and didn't have a back-up plan. I put on a friendly face and tried my best not to stew over some of his commentary.

Dave may be a good electrician, but he's not for everyone. I will be hiring someone else for the other projects I had in mind.
