Company Overview

Addressing complex problems can be a significant challenge. If you're looking for answers, the likelihood of finding them is high here. I don’t back down easily, and I have top-notch equipment that complements my skills.

I have held a California license since 1983, with the number 448994. I’ve installed wiring for approximately 200 swimming pools, from simple to intricate. Many bespoke homes and remodeling endeavors have been recognized. Occasionally, I take on minor commercial tasks as well. Now, I am semi-retired and prefer smaller projects where quality craftsmanship is valued.

Meet David L. Bertsch: A native of the Santa Cruz region, I have long been a fixture in Scotts Valley. As a child, I showed a natural curiosity for how things worked and the purpose of their inner components. After finishing at Santa Cruz High School and Cabrillo College, I entered the workforce as an electronics technician with nearby companies. With the backing of John Land Masonry in 1980, I shifted to the electrical trade, excelling ever since.

David is awesome! After looking for an electrician & looking through many other options I decided to call David for help because of all the good things people had to say about him. They were all true! David not only showed up very quickly, he had things working in under half an hour. He's very professional & he's super nice! I highly recommend him!

David came to my home within an hour of my calling him (he was in the neighborhood) and proceeded to spend the next 3 hours carefully tracking down, diagnosing and fixing a difficult problem. He was very professional, extremely skilled, patient, friendly, honest, responsible, reasonable... everything you could wish for in an electrician. He will always be my first choice henceforth!

David also came by later on and installed several sockets by my breaker box, which I used to install ""Dirty Electricity"" (DE) filters to filter out the DE (or high frequency transients) coming in on the electric wires. David did a fantastic job for a very reasonable price. David is not only an excellent electrician, but he is also just a super nice open-minded and humble guy. Whenever I need any kind of electric work, he will be my ""go-to"" guy.

We had a fairly minor problem due to a DIY failure. David was kind enough to come to our somewhat remote location right away and help my husband straighten things out. I would recommend him for sure.

David is a pro. I had him install a subpanel in my garage, and run a few new circuits off it; one for a garage heater, another for future 240v shop outlets, and some 110 circuits. He handled all of it and it's awesome.

Will definitely hire him again.

As good as it gets. David is very in demand for a reason. Takes his time and shows his experience. What I really loved was that he came out ahead of when he could do all of the work I needed completed to quickly take care of a safety issue that otherwise could have led to a A/C unit failure or fire. Once he came back to take care of all of the remaining work, he finished on time, was right in line with his estimate and taught me what he fixed as he completed the work. Highly recommended.

David is awesome! I called about 8 different electricians trying to find someone to help with old knob and tube wiring problem I was having with a new ceiling fan. David was only 1 of 2 that actually answered the phone! I explained the problem to him, he was out the next day and fixed the problem for me. Very reasonable pricing and great quality work. I would highly recommend him to anyone for big or small projects. He gets the job done!

This review is for the quote process. Contacted David through Yelp requesting a quote. He got back to us quickly and happened to be in our are (Aptos). He uses text and email promptly so this was nice as well.

5 stars to David because he was nothing but honest with us about what updates we needed and what could wait. He didn't try to upsell us or anything which is very much appreciated. His quote was very fair and reasonably priced and was the best deal we found in comparison to other quotes we heard about from others.

For this reason when we need electrician work we will definitely call him!

David returned my call pretty much immediately, showed up earlier than he said he would, and took care of my generator disconnect from the main panel. He also patiently listened to a couple of other electrical challenges I have and suggested reasonable options. As good as it gets, in terms of experience, highly recommend!
