DIRECT ELECTRIC

We recently moved to Aptos, and we have several items on our punch list. We needed an electrician, so we asked our realtor for a recommendation. We called her guy but did not hear from him for a week. We searched the internet and discovered Direct Electric. They had 85 5-star reviews on Yelp. Dave, the owner, answered my initial call and we scheduled him to look at the job. He arrived at the promised time, giving us a heads up when he was on his way to our home. We wanted to move two bathroom GFI outlets and install power for a new fireplace insert. Dave looked at the job and told us that each bathroom should be on a separate circuit. He also looked at the fireplace and described in detail what he would do. He gave a written estimate on the spot and said the job would take him and his partner Joe 1/2 day. We signed the estimate and scheduled the work in two days around 8:00 am. On the expected job day, he called at 8 to say he was 10 minutes away. Dave and Joe worked non-stop for 3 1/2 hours. Parts of the job required two people while the others were one-person jobs. They worked as an experienced team. The fireplace required unique wiring, so they made an outside trip to get the necessary parts. Dave and Joe completed all three tasks without any issues. They did a professional, meticulous job. Dave is a talented electrician, an excellent communicator and customer focussed. Direct Electric is a two-person company that performs like a larger company. We plan to use Direct Electric for future electrical work.

I made an appointment with Dave who showed up promptly. Because I was satisfied with his assessment of the job and cost estimate, I had him complete the work that day. Dave was professional, courtesy and did a great job. I plan to use him in the future.

Dave, the business owner and Sonny, his right hand man, were prompt, friendly and professional. I was able to get a full day appointment within three days of the initial visit & proposal. I'm pleased with the work and recommend hiring Direct Electric for all of your electrical needs.

I have used Direct Electric several times ranging from small repairs to installing upgraded panel in our vacation home. This time it was a problem with the vent fan in kitchen. An electric motor repairman said the problem with fan was not motor but wiring. I called Direct and Dave came out very quickly. He showed me on his tester the fan was receiving electricity. While he was here he replaced a defective bedroom light switch for me. He did not charge me for this service call. I removed the motor and took it to the shop that told me it was in good condition. They put it on their bench tester and as Dave predicted it was burnt out. I was able to track down a replacement motor for the fan and he is coming back to wire it up for me. I will always use Direct Electric for all of our repair needs. Good people, very respectful to property, professional and really good at what they do.
