Brannan Electric

Brannon eletric I called David and explained to him the trouble I was having with flicking lights in a house I had just bought. Instead of charging me to come out he advised me to call SMUD and have them check the power coming into the house which I did and the trouble was resolved. David even called back later in the day to make sure everything had gotten taken care of! It was a pleasure to find someone who was looking to make sure the trouble was taken care of in the most cost effective way for means not just out to make a buck. I would recommend David to everyone I found him to be honest and trustworthy. 

Dave swapped out an inferior breaker and provided great advice on what needed to be done now and what could wait.  I was close to having the whole house re-wired but Dave explained why that wasn't necessary and saved me a couple thousand dollars.  He also offered some suggestions on some other small electrical projects I could do on my own told me to call him if I ran into any problems.  Dave is a good guy and a straight shooter and I will not hesitate to use him again.

Just having the help from the voice on the phone gave me a good feeling that I wasn't going to be stuck with this thing going off perpetually and I learned a lot about how smoke alarms work in the process.  In the end, David asked a simple question about my carbon monoxide detectors and that led to the solution.  It was actually my separate carbon monoxide detector that was chirping and not the smoke detector!  So, a lot effort to get to the answer but problem solved and I was so thankful for the help from David to get me through it.  He certainly didn't have to take that time.  I now know who I will call if I have electrical work that needs to be done in the future.  Really good guy.

David showed up on time, equipped to solve my problem.  He was very professional and methodical in his work.  I felt comfortable with his knowledge and personality.  He explained everything and I would certainly call him back if I need help with anything electrical.

All good!

Just purchased home where inspector noted aluminum wiring with new plugs and switches which were not aluminum rated. Wanted it all brought to code and safe before moving in with a disabled spouse and lots of medical equipment. Dave called within an hour or so of messaging him (on a Saturday) and we set the project for the following Tuesday. Very quick response!

Dave also gave me a list of what we would need so I could purchase directly before he showed up, thus saving a substantial amount of money. He let me do some of the tedious, non-skilled work (removing switch and plug covers and reinstalling), so he could focus on the important tasks and keep the hourly rate down. I really appreciate his knowledge and skills and his willingness to explain everything while he works.

We have a little more work to be done, so I'll be calling Dave Brannan back again.

Dave was very professional, knowledgeable, and personable.  He efficiently, installed the somewhat complex, upscale Hunter ceiling fan.  The new fan looks great and works perfectly.  I would definitely use Brannan Electric again.!

Dave Brannan drove to the house on short notice to restore power for the tenants who rent from me.  He was quick to respond even though it was a Saturday and he was considerate in making arrangements with tenants to complete work.  After completion Dave called to explain the work done and provided a detailed invoice for payment.
This is the fourth time I have called this electrician.  I have been fully satisfied with the quality of work and prompt completion of services every time Brannan Electric has done home repairs for me.

Not only is Dave the Earl of Electricity, a true disciple of Nikola Tesla, but a good guy. He guided me to the mostly hidden GFI outlet, on the phone, for free.  A man of integrity!  Happy Easter Dave .

When I first contacted Brannan Electrical for an estimate, David, the owner, was "under the weather" and unable to schedule an appointment immediately.  Despite not feeling well, he took the time to help me try to trouble-shoot the problem.  As soon as our mutual schedules permitted, David installed the necessary GFI's.  He was very professional and skilled at his profession as well as personable.  Should the need arise again, I would not hesitate to call Brannan Electrical.

I had a weird wiring issue affecting switches and outlets that Dave diagnosed and corrected. 

I have used David several times in the past and he has always done good work for me, he finds the problem and sticks with it until he makes the repair or fixes the problem. He traced this problem to 2 worn circut breakers and replaced both. Dave will come back if need be to get the job done right.

Although my project wasn't work that Dave could do as he does not have any employee's and what I needed done required at least two people, he was nice enough to recommend another company to me who could. ?He was even nice enough to call them for me and have them call me. ?I literally got off the phone with Dave and within 10 minutes I was getting a call from the other electrician he recommended. ?The company he recommended came out and were able to complete my project for a completely reasonable price and were just fantastic people to work with. ?Although I didn't get to work with Dave on this project I would certainly call him again if I needed electrical work in the future. ?Thanks for the great recommendation Dave!

I was alarmed when I smelled the wiring as it melted in the plug to my clothes dryer so I looked on Angie's List and found Brannan Electric. Dave spoke to me at length on the phone to advise what parts to get before he came. He arrived a few hours later and performed the job. Now I can run my clothes dryer without worrying about a fire. Very satisfied with the work performed. Thrilled that he could do it on such short notice.

As a multiple homeowner, it is a pleasure working with someone that knows his stuff. I would absolutely recommend Dave  to other home owners and reach out to him for future service issues.

Dave Brannan was professional and communicated well. He provide good service and when an issue with trouble-shooting would have cost me more hours to have him do it, versus having trouble-shooting electrical expertise, he referred me to another really good Angie's List contractor, Jones Electric, that did a great job trouble-shooting the issue.

Our front porch lanterns have not worked since a handyman tried to replace the electric timer for them a month ago.  Not only was the timer not working, but we could not turn on the porch lights manually anymore.
We hired David,  who arrived on-time.  He even called about 10 minutes before he arrived to let us know he would be here soon.  (We love that). 
Immediately after removing the "non-working" timer he said, "This has been wired wrong!"   David correctly wired the timer to the house wiring and double-checked the other switches in the same housing.  The previously "non-working" timer works perfectly now.  David also replaced a faulty timer that controls the garage exterior lights.  Now we have light again at nighttime!
He also provided some consulting for my husband on what it would take to install a house "surge-protector".
David is very knowledgeable and professional, and has a good sense of humor.   We would definitely recommend him to others.

Everything went well. I did not get several people to submit bids since the job was so small. I am happy that there was nothing wrong with the breaker box and I am happy to have more light in the garage. I have several other small electrical jobs that need to be done in the future and I will most likely call Brannan electrical. While the service call amount seemed a bit much I was expecting that it would take more work than it actually did and he was up front about the amount. Since the circuit is now working and I have a decent amount of light in my garage I am happy with the result.

The most recent service Dave gave me was advice and instructions over the phone to fix my power going out in my own kitchen while preparing a big family holiday dinner.  When I described my problem, he gave me preliminary advice over the phone on how to check for problems at my breaker box.   He also referred me to an electrician more local to my home, and he called me back the next morning to check if my problem was fixed and if the other electrician had returned my call.  When I left him a message that the other electrician was out of town for the holidays, he returned my call again and offered to schedule an appointment but suggested we try one more time with his instructions over the phone as he indicated my problem was an easy fix.  I followed the steps he gave me, and voila, my power was restored in my kitchen as well as my garage which had also later gone out.  
In the end, my problems were solved, Dave gave me some good education about  understanding electricity, he saved me from having to take time off work to set up an appointment, and he didn't charge me a dollar for all this help.  And by the way, he even made another follow up call to make sure everything was still working.  I highly recommend Dave Brannan Electric and will continue to use him for electric repairs in my rental properties and personal home.

Everything went very well.

He came out the same day I called and found a solution very quickly. He was fantastic!

He was very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. He was very honest, advised us to replace all eight smoke alarms in the house since they were beyond the seven-year life they were good for, and advised us what specific brand of alarm to buy (and while on the initial phone call he called Home Depot to make sure they had the brand instock, which was very helpful and impressed me). He came as quickly as possible, did the work quickly and carefully, checked to make sure the work was perfect and complete, and was very pleasant and interesting to talk to. I would not hesitate to highly recommend Mr. Brannan to others and, if and when we need other electrical services, we will hire him again. This was one of the best repair experiences we have ever had.

He was originally going to rearrange his schedule to come out and take care of it but asked for a little more information and when I mentioned how newly done it was he let me know that it should still be under warranty from the contractor. He was right and they came out and did the repair at no cost. He has consistently given me good advice on electrical projects in my home and I definitely recommend him.
