Company Overview

We at Direct Electric specialize in troubleshooting & installing new systems, such as fresh circuits, new outlets & light switches. We are a TESLA-approved installer. EV installation is our focus.

Having an electrician as a dad shaped my path. I was raised in the family business, and upon my father's retirement, I decided to start Direct Electric. I have held my license since 1998 & received my state certification in 2004.

My entire life has revolved around electrical work, & I find great satisfaction in it. In my free time, biking is a favorite pastime, play baseball with my son, and I love cooking with my wife.

An update on Dave's continued professional work. The charger he installed for my electric car three years ago is in excellent condition. He recently installed power sources for my home security cameras. Direct Electric is the best!

Best service I've received in a long time. Dave was out to my house within an hour of my call. He was on his way to another job but said he would stop by my house to check things out. He took less than 5 minutes to assess the situation. Noticed the issue was due a broken neutral wire on the PG&E pole. Gave me the PG&E number and told me exactly what to tell them. Dave called me later that evening to make sure everything turned out ok. And he didn't charge me for anything! Can't ask for better service than that! And thank you to PG&E who was out that same day to fix the problem. Very glad I now have a great electrician to call when needed!

I had phoned several electricians with no reply and then checked here and saw the reviews for Direct Electric and called. I was helped and scheduled promptly and when they arrived at my house they quickly problem solved and repaired my issue. I got a quote for the remaining outlets I needed help with also. I was so relieved to have competent people working on my electrical issues!

Dave Christie is a very sincere and responsive craftsman. He is thorough and listened to our concerns. He offered to let us use a sample fixture in our kitchen; and when we decided not to use it or do the work in the kitchen, he told us to keep it.

He has done work in setting up a sound system at our house and moving electrical outlets.

We highly recommend Dave and Direct Electric.

Excellent work. Dave diagnosed and fixed a burnt wire in a junction box that had eluded two other electricians. Apparently the work was quicker and easier than the original bid, so we even ended up saving money. Due to all the landslides, Dave needed to emergency work and thus reschedule, but he called on a Sunday to reschedule, which was really appreciated. Honest, on time, and fixes things - what more could you ask for in an electrician?

I want to highly recommend Direct Electric! They
did an excellent job of wiring up our new hot tub.
Communicating with Dave was really easy. I never got voicemail. Dave and his team showed up on time to give me a written estimate, scheduled the work to accommodate my schedule, and completed the project on time and on budget.
Every aspect of using Direct Electric made me feel good about choosing them.
I believe you'll feel the same about them too.

I really appreciate Dave and his team at Direct Electric and the great service they have provided us. They repaired our kitchen lighting and installed outdoor lighting. They were quick, efficient and did a great job each time. And Dave and his team are super nice and helpful. For any electric work we need, I will call Dave.

Very friendly service. Dave and joe were right on time. They helped me figure out why my lights were not working. It was a easy fix and they said don't worry about the charge. Thank You again!

Last month, we had a small job in our home in Rio Del Mar: 2 bathroom lights needed to be installed. Dave / Direct Electric, came out and put them up; total bill: around $180.

Because DE did such a great job, we asked for an estimate for 13 can lights to be put in the entry, kitchen, dining room, hallway, and laundry room. Again, DE was fantastic, installing all the lights in about 5-6 hours; total bill: around $2,800.

We've very pleased, and we certainly give Big Time Kudos to Direct Electric / owner, Dave / and helper, Joe. If you need any electrical work, call Direct Electric; they are GREAT!
