Company Overview

Resolving intricate issues can often feel overwhelming. If you seek a solution, your odds are better than average 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 handled the wiring for nearly 200 pools, from straightforward to highly detailed. Numerous custom homes and renovation projects have received accolades. I have also tackled a few small commercial jobs from time to time. At this stage, I am semi-retired and enjoy smaller tasks that emphasize superior workmanship.

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. Following my graduation from Santa Cruz High School and Cabrillo College, I started working as an electronics technician for local businesses. In 1980, encouraged by John Land Masonry, I transitioned into the electrical industry, where I have flourished since.

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.

I needed an advice about surge protector. Davide answered my questions honestly and quickly. In today market, It is not easy to get an honest advice. Thank you Davide.

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!

We hired David as our electrical contractor for our kitchen and upstairs remodel project. He was wonderful. We had so many changes as we went along and he just adjusted as we went. He was so flexible and great to work with. We love the final results and he was a pleasure. Thanks David!

I called David last Thursday because all of our large appliances had been turning on and off intermittently. I was very concerned that the power issues were going to eventually fry all our large appliances - leaving us with not only fixing our electrical issues, but also buying all new large appliances.

David returned my email almost immediately. He was able to come in and fix our issue that same day (I called around 8:00 and he met me at my condo at 1:00). He was able to fix the issue in a short amount of time while also explaining all that went wrong. He also recommended that I call my HOA to confirm that this repair wouldn't be covered by them (HOA didn't cover it)- rather than just doing the repair right away and taking my money. I appreciated him thinking of that.

I absolutely recommend David. He is a kind, reliable local electrician - who will get the job done.
