DV Electric

Back in June 2021, I reached out to Mike from seeing the positive reviews here on Yelp, and my experience was equally positive. I wanted to run power from our electrical panel on the back side of our house to our garage so we could install a car charging unit that we already owned (Chargepoint). He requested some photos of the location where the charger would be installed as well as photos of the panel, which I sent through Yelp. Once we agreed on a price (which was very competitive amongst the several other quotes I received), he was over at my place in about two weeks. The install took one day, and everything looked and worked great. He scheduled the permit inspection for me and came back on the same day of the inspection to help with that process too.

Overall, no complaints and very satisfied with the work done. I've been using the charger for many months now with no issues.

I was in a jam because my previous electrician (another highly rated one on Yelp) didn't finish the job and was gonna make me wait for another week. I messaged Mike here, and he was very responsive and scheduled me for the next day (on a Saturday no less). He installed new junction boxes and new kitchen island pendants for me in less than 1.5 hours. He and his team were on time, professional, listened to what I wanted, and just generally chill. Don't bother with anyone else, I would reach out DV Electric first and get things done quick. 5 stars all around.

EDIT (Oct 2021): 3rd time now I've called Mike and he continues to be incredibly fast, reliable, and trustworthy. Called him out after our 240v dryer outlet died. We thought at first the dryer broke, so we wasted 2 months with an appliance tech who replaced a bunch of parts in the dryer but who never thought to check the outlet.  Mike came out on a Saturday within 2 hours of our call, discovered the problem with the outlet, fixed it in 30 mins.  Lesson--- the top 1% of contractors are miles better than the competition. Mike and DV Electric deserve 100% of our business, and more.

I feel compelled to add to the sea of good reviews here based on the level of service received.

I've never had to request the help of an electrician before but Michael made it so easy. The fees are incredibly reasonable, the work flawlessly professional and it was really fun to ask questions about how everything worked.

Really happy we have a great neighborhood electrician.

Thank you Mike and Nhan for top grade work. Super happy with the electrical work and flawless TV installations around our house.

Reliable, honest, and knowledgeable guys.

I was looking around for days to find a fair price and great labor work to replace my old circuit breaker panel . Mike and Nhan did a wonderful job on replacing my old panel with a brand new one and also enlightened me with the do's and don'ts on electrical work. Showed a genuine care for my problems. Down to earth and friendly service. I would tell anybody if you already have an electrician in mind (CALL DV ELECTRIC AS WELL) they will show you and tell you what your electrician has not already shown you. Keep in mind they come out to you for no charge!

Thank you Mike, I'm not stressing out anymore:)

Mike came by to check our oven. Power on but no heat. He managed to diagnose the problem and fix our oven the same week he did our breakers. This guy can do it all. Definitely would call back and recommend to others for almost ANY problem

Excellent. Excellenting, Excellentist. Had an oddball project. Mike worked with me to get the project sorted out. Great guy, excellent work.

My next electrical repair or install, Mike is my first call. He should be your firdt call as well.

I had scheduled to have my bathroom lights and fan to be looked at because they kept going out intermittently. I had even sent a photo of this issue which clearly showed this. Mike the electrician said okay ill be there at said time. Time goes by and  I call Mike back I'm running late, I'll be there.  Okay this a little inconvenient but I really need this fixed because showering at night with the lights turning off could lead to a nasty slip, so I wait. Mike shows up driving not a company vehicle,  but what looks like his personal sedan. He seems friendly and I greet him and show him to the said bathroom. The light and fan are working at this time and I let Mike know I changed all bulb. So he opened up the light switch and looked inside, I was curious as to why no diagnostic equipment was used but hey, maybe he knows something I don't. Next he asks to see the breaker, I show him to the box outside and he asks to turn them off so I say no problem. Off goes the breaker and i notice he listened to them, I recall that you can hear when breakers go bad but I couldn't hear anything. Mike said it's probably the breaker that's causing it and said he would notify the property manager and to call him if anything else comes up. I thanked him thinking okay perhaps he will discuss work needing to be done and notice that the next couple weeks the lights and fan work fine. Up until the last week and a half it started doing it again. Low and behold the property manager said Mike never called her and was charged for nothing. No breaker was replaced and I was stuck with a bathroom with no light or working fan. We messaged Mike and his response was So last time I was there the lights were working. This was infuriating because i thought in good faith Mike had contacted the property manager and squared this away, instead he did nothing knowing this was an ongoing safety issue and didn't even follow up. When confronted he said he was insulted, I do work  public works that involve massive power. But hey, if you don't want my service than I'm ok with that. My lic # is 975197.

Considering that I have 5 star review on Yelp I'm a little offended by your comment. The priority seems to be with Mike's reviews and pride rather than the safety or satisfaction of his customer. I just wanted to have a working bathroom light and fan man, if you didn't want to help me out you could have just declined service instead of taking our money and wasting our time.

Did a great job for a good price. Were able to fix issues with complex and questionable existing wiring and finish the project in a fast time frame.

This is for Nhan Khuu specifically. He had no idea what was wrong with our partial electrical outage and came up with some crazy theories of how our apartment was wired. Spent a full hour going nowhere. After he left we called One Touch Electric and their guy identified the problem and fixed it in less than 20 minutes. One Touch Electric showed us that it was kind of an easy fix too. $200 down the drain for one hour of conspiracy theory stories.

Requested a quote for adding a circuit to the breaker box.  Mike came out and gave me a few options to minimize cutting into the sheetrock.  He was personable and gave me a fair and honest quote.  Definitely recommend!

I've had 2 lights that wouldn't work in the kitchen, but left them as is because I've been too lazy to call someone. Today the half the outlets in my kitchen stopped working so we had to call around for someone to come asap. We called a few different places and DV Electric had the best quote. Mike came within a few hours. Although the outlets started working before he came, he fixed the 2 lights in the kitchen super quickly. Not only that, but we decided to ask him if he knew anything about plumbing since our toilets been running for DAYS, and he said he'd take a look. Several minutes later, HE FIXED OUR TOILET TOO, WTF!!!!

So happy with my experience with DV Electric. 10/10 would recommend. Mike was very polite and respectful. I'd call him for anything else in the future. The Yelp deal doesn't hurt either ;)

We called DV Electric to look at a circuit that was shutting off for an unclear reason. Nhan came out only a couple hours later and took his time trying to diagnose the source of the problem, which ended up being an unexpected loose connection in the circuit box that could have ended up being a major problem down the road. He explained everything thoroughly and was very honest about not seeing any other urgent needs.

Ultimately, our issue was solved, future trouble was averted, and we got an honest assessment of our current circuit box; all at a reasonable price. Thank you Nhan and DV Electric!

Our old house needed rewiring but we had limited budget.
Nhan stopped by, listened to our needs, discussed with Mike and we quickly converged on what's essential for our budget.
Then the team started on a Saturday.
During the work, a lot of challenges from previous owners' amateur arrangement were discovered. The team were able to complete the job to modern standard without breaking the old structure.
They even helped to enforce the structure around new outlets so the finished work is to the code from all aspects.
On budget, on schedule and reliable work for modern living. And cleaned up afterwards. Definitely will call Mike again for our next project.

Had a quick chat with the owner, Mike P.  Super honest about the electrical problems I have even though I did not ask for his service.  He'll be my go to guy for electricity problem for years to come.

Great experience with DV Electric. They were able to send someone out to repair my bathroom fan the same day I called. Nahn arrived within the time frame specified and replaced an inoperable exhaust fan that wasn't originally installed properly. Nahn did a thorough job installing the new one, making sure it was done right!

I have used other electricians in the past who were in the top few results on Yelp but those guys only have availability weeks out and give you the overall impression they don't need (or care) about your business unless you have a larger, more expensive project.

That is not the case with DV Electric. Nahn did a fantastic job and provided great customer service. I will definitely use them again for other electrical repairs in the near future.

I came across DV Electric through Amazon for my Exterior Light Fixture Installation after my other scheduled electrician ended up bailing on me. Mike was very professional and his communication skills was excellent. I wanted the light mounted a certain way which I knew it was going to be very difficult job but he completed the job exceptionally. Great service, there's a reason why he has 100% positive feedback on Amazon.

I had DV Electric come install a NEMA 14-50 outlet install in my garage.

He did a really good estimate over the phone asking very relevant questions on my setup and locations of my power/breakers.  His estimate came in at a very competitive price.

The job was done early the next day after I got the estimate.  He was very professional, prompt, and did a fantastic job.  Highly recommended!

Great job, fair quote and super nice to work with.  I scheduled DV Electric on Amazon as the Tesla preferred vendors tried to gauge me with $1,800 install.  Turns out, Amazon charges them 20%!  So I would reach out directly if you can.

Mike is an outstanding electrician.  He was extremely courteous on the phone, was able to provide a very fair quote on the phone and agreed to come next day, which was on the weekend.  He was able solve our light switch problem, and we are very happy with the speed and price.  We highly recommend Mike and DV Electric for all of all electrician needs!

Mike and his team at DV Electric are outstanding! We are very satisfied with the install. Originally contacted Mike to add an additional outlet above the fireplace so that we can mount the TV and hide the wires. Due to the fire place and having to drill through multiple studs, this is not an easy job. Overall, we are very satisfied with the quality of work and strongly recommend his services. Also, Mike was very professional and arrived on-time for his appointment.

Thank you Mike, we will call you in the future for our next project.

I want to start by thanking Mike for his upmost professionalism during this process. When I started vetting contractors for our job (recessed lighting) I was met with some push back from other contractors and also some downright rudeness. Mike took the time out of his busy schedule to come look at the project and give me a fair quote on the job. Him and his team came over and worked though some tough situations due to the way our home was built, 1977 build. He explained everything along the way and kept me in the loop before he did anything extra. My wife and I are extremely please with the job done, and would recommend this crew to anyone. We have more project coming in the future, and these guys will 100% be our first and only call! Thanks Mike and Team! You both went above and beyond the job to get things done. Cheers!

I needed some electrical rewiring done in my home and was so happy to find mike! He was prompt and responsive through out the job, gave a fair estimate, was able to explain the process of the work in understandable terms. Definitely recommend for any electrical work! Look forward to working with him in the future when needed.

I had recessed lighting installed. These guys gave a competitive price and were able to install them on my schedule.  The job was completed cleanly and professionaly. Definitely recommend.

Appreciated the quick response and quote estimate given as a result of my  described home electrical needs.  Because I requested several quotes, ended up working with a different company.  But I give high marks for the responsiveness.  Provides a good first impression.

A couple of my lights were not coming on after I turned off/on my circuit breakers. I tried contacting 3 electricians with the symptoms and asked for quotes. One did not respond and another responded that they were booked up. DV Electric responded promptly and asked me to check some things and then suggested what could be wrong, and also let me know their rates.

Based on the information DV Electric provided, I was able to get my lights working again. They saved me time and money. If I ever need any more electrical help, I'll be talking with DV Electric.

Mike was very prompt in responding to our inquiry on Yelp. He was able to come by the very next day to give a quote for our recessed light installation. He was very upfront about pricing, and very responsive throughout the process.  He clearly explained what he would need to do, and walked us through our different options. The price isn't the cheapest we were able to find (some contractors/unlicensed folks will be cheaper), but we felt it was important to choose someone we could trust with electrical work. Considering how great the lights look and the ease of doing business with Mike, it was definitely worth it!

My man Mike and his guy Nahn came through and saved the day! I now refer to him as Magic Mike!! They came and knocked down a laundry list of electrical jobs like it was child's play. All the while being courteous and forthcoming. I'm pretty sure I will be using them again. Not sure when though cause they killed it over here! Nothing left to do.

I had an emergency today and can't live without my dishwasher. Something was wrong with my outlet, which kept tripping the breaker. Mike was able to come in 2 hours to help out. He was very knowledgeable, professional, demonstrated expert troubleshooting skills and had it fixed right away. Highly recommended!

Mike was great to work with. I called him after hours on a Friday night and he managed to squeeze me in the following day!  I needed to upgrade my sub panel in the garage as it was completely full and I'm about to add two AC units in. His price is very competitive and did a fantastic job and is professional. He was recommended to me from a friend and I now understand why he has nothing but 5 stars on yelp. Thanks Mike!

Mike was awesome!  Took my call late in the day to fix an electrical issue at my rental home.  Sent me before and after photos, clearly explaining what he resolved.  Upbeat and clear communication.  I will use him again for any further issues.  Couldn't be more pleased, A+!!!!

Mediocre, lot of talk but no real stuff. I hired mike for initial opinion and estimation for revamping electric wiring for my old house. When I called for initial consultation, he complained about, customers wasting his time for initial estimation. So I told him will pay $100 for just showing up and giving me some good opinion and estimation. All I got was some chit chat and vague estimation and a promise that he would send a detailed report. Thats it.

Thanks Toan for being on time,  fast and friendly!  He was able to install an electrical outlet in no time.

Mike was great. Friendly, professional, and down to earth, with good advice. We asked him to replace our main panel, which was arcing even after a breaker replacement. He accommodated our request for a 200A panel and additional kitchen circuits at a great price. Scheduling inspections and PGE can be trying, but he was persistent and advocated on our behalf to get it all done in a reasonable time frame. We are grateful for his service and would call on him again. Thanks Mike!

I was referred to Mike from another friend who had his main panel done by Mike. I had him install a car charger in my garage. I was happy with his work and would refer him again

Purchased chargepoint for my EV on amazon and scheduled an appointment through amazon. Mike showed up on time and started working on it very quickly. Mike finished everything in 3 hours which was estimated as 8 hours while I google the job online. He did a super fantastic job to layout the wires and plug. Way better than what I expected! I also asked him to check a problem for my kitchen lights and provide a quote. The price he gave me was unbeatable. Definitely have him come back for all electricity issues i have from now on. Highly recommend!

I found mike on telp and called for to do a rewire for my house and panel replacement. He came and reviewed my electrical wiring and gave me a good quote. Good pricing for his job and estimate future work. I would call him again

Mike was the third contractor that I worked with on this project -- I only wish that I had started with him!  I wanted to replace 6 on-off and 2 dimmer switches with smart switches and he arrived on time, walked me through the process and helped me setup the switches to the smart hub.  I completely recommend DV Electric for any and all projects requiring an electrician.  I will definitely call on him for my future electrical project needs.  TOTAL PROFESSIONAL!  GREAT JOB!!!

I contacted Mike because of an electrical issue created by my handyman. I messaged him on Yelp and he responded immediately. My issue ended up being a tripped GFCI. It took Mike minutes to figure this out. I found him to be upfront and honest. If I ever need an electrician again, I will definitely call Mike!

The DV electric folks have done a fantastic job installing my very complicated high ceiling Chandeliers that are 9 feet tall. The Pham brothers worked very closely and completed the job with patience and high quality. They are on time and cleaned up after work. Very professional and I highly recommend for any kind of Chandelier installation.

I have dealt with Mike and his team twice now.  Our recessed lights are exceptional!  Mike and his team are passionate about their work.  You will be happy with their work.

I have used dv electric two times. Mike has been quick to respond to my texts and has scheduled my jobs without delay. He's an honest guy who is fairing on the pricing. Good service. I would use him again.

I called DV Electric and they are very nice, I really appreciate that they were able to help me out and get my electrical issues sorted out.

I met Mike in 2013. At the time, he did all the electrical work in my kitchen during my remodel. He also put in two outlets and a florescent light in the center of my garage. He was always professional and did an excellent job for me, and he was a pleasure to talk to in an otherwise stressfull remodel. He made such a good impression that I called him three years later to install recessed lighting in two of my rooms. Once again, he did an absolutlely wonderful job. I am so glad---he is my electrician for life! His prices are very decent and his work is outstanding. I would recommend him very highly to anyone!

I had the pleasure of working with Mike to install several smart outlets and connect those outlets to Hue light strips and also to Amazon Alexa.  Mike was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, courteous and helpful.  He showed up on time, went out of his way to go the extra step to locate a new switch since the one I bought was not compatible and to connect the new hardware to the wi-fi and to Alexa.   He took the time to understand what I was looking for and then gave me the various options to choose from.  He cleaned up when he was done and everything works as expected.   Mike was the third electrician I hired to do this same project.  I wish I would have found him first.   What was so difficult for the previous elections, was a snap for Mike!   I would hire him again for any electrical project and would highly recommend him to anyone who has need for an electrician.

I had them come out to replace what a faulty Zinco breaker. Dave texted when he would arrive and showed up on time. He took a look at the Box and replaced the breaker. He was quick, was knowledgeable, and I would recommend him in a heartbeat.

I used Mike on various home electric jobs. Very knowledgeable,  super professional and completely honest.  Excellent electrician!

It was a long weekend and the partial power at our business was out.  We phoned PG & E and they said to call an electric person because they did not see any problem at their end.  I phoned 20 people on Yelp and Mike was the only one who phoned us back, which was a life saver.  Mike gave us a time he would be able to come by and he did, he checked everything and told us that it was indeed a problem with PG&E.  We phoned them and they came out and said it was not their problem and to call the electric person again.  We were getting very frustrated at this point but Mike was really patient and he was willing to come out again with PG&E the next day which was a Sunday and when Mike came out he showed PG&E the problem which they did not even recognise.  We are so grateful to Mike and we are definately going to be saving his # and giving it out to our friends and family.

We asked Toan to add a few outlets to our home and are very happy with his work. He is prompt, professional and well prepared.  I will ask him to do our next project. Thanks toan

Electrical problem showed up unexpectedly and shut down the lights in our retail store.  Mike came the same afternoon and took care of it.  Super. Nice guy, easy to work with.

I was able to hire Toan to replace a circuit at my parent's house as well as rewiring a couple rooms that seemed had issues.  We were very impressed with his work, especially with his communication skills.  He was able to access our situation, give us a timeline when the project would be complete, and followed through each step to the T.  I was very happy that I hired Toan, and was very fortunate on my behalf to be able to network with him.  He is my go to guy for these type of situations, and I could not be any happier knowing I won't have to hire someone else to check his work.  Thanks Toan, for being professional and timely.

Recently, I hired DV Electric to install 20+ recessed lights throughout my townhouse.  My experience with Mike and his team was outstanding. He responded to my initial request promptly, and came out and checked out my place. I didn't have much experience and clue about recessed lighting and asked for advice from him.  I communicated my idea/goal of each room, and he listened carefully and formulated his own suggestions, giving me options and ultimately let me decide on the options based on his advice.  He definitely works with the customer to understand their needs, and not govern the work to be done in a fixed way. He was able to clearly point out the tradeoffs to each approach, like which would involve more effort/drilling, cost of each option, etc. His team showed up on time, worked efficiently and laboriously, planning out the placements, measuring, drilling holes, running wires in the attic, installing dimmable switches, etc.  The work was done within his estimate of 2 days. Totally, 23 recessed lights were installed, and I was very happy with the work and result, and they cleaned up well after the project.  He was able to fix minor issues along the way, again showing his dedication to customer service. His rates were also very reasonable.  To me, many things stood out about his work -  his flexibility and patience in accepting changing requirements, a can-do attitude, honesty, responsive and excellent communication, technical expertise in his field, and overall being a cool guy to work with!  If I have any more electrical needs, I would certainly give Mike a call again and would recommend him to others without reservations!
