Shamrockin Electric

Others have said it, but it needs repeating. David is amazing! From the very start of contacting him, he was extremely communicative, knowledgeable, professional, courteous, personable, and punctual.

I had lost power to my upstairs heater/thermostat. I originally had an HVAC person come to check it out, but they said the unit was fine and it was an electrical issue. I then contacted a different electrician who came and took a look. They said they would send me an estimate, but never did. A week later I called them back and this other company told me their electrician was sick and they'd get me an estimate by the end of the day. That never happened.
At this point it's been weeks with no heat and with the weather we've had lately, it's been very cold at night.

In comes David to the rescue! I called Shamrockin Electric and David took a look at the issue, He was able to fix it in the same visit. Tonight, we have heat! Not only did he fix my electrical issue, but he explained what the problem was and the how/why of what he was going to do to fix it. As I said, great communication.  I will gladly call David/Shamrockin Electric for my future electrician needs. He is the best electrician I've ever used. It's a good feeling when you have found a go to tradesperson and don't have to roll the dice with other electricians.  Thank you David.

tldr: David is amazing, extremely communicative, knowledgeable, professional, courteous, personable, and punctual.

Excellent Job done, and very knowledgeable . Prevented a huge cost on us for electrical wiring

TLDR: Dave came in, did the work as per estimate, cleaned up after himself, and showed up on time. Priceless.

Long version: I'm the contractor's worst nightmare, a homeowner who thinks they can do certain tasks. Sometimes I'm right, I could do it, but I'm getting too old to go crawling around in attics and on ladders and such.

I had a coupla electrical things I needed done, some of which meant fiddling about in my breaker boxes, which I'm always leery of. I called a few people, who were too busy or had crappy communication skills and no sense of time and politeness.

Dave, on the other hand, has his proverbial you-know-what together. Organized, very clear communication, and timely. First he scheduled a virtual get-together to go over what I wanted. He was on time and was willing to listen as well as talk. After me running around with the camera and showing him what the outside boxes looked like, he determined that no, the style of thing I wanted wouldn't work well, but says, hey, you know, there's this other one you can get on Amazon and put in yourself. Sent me a link, boom, simple. Saved a few bucks on that side.

The other half of the work I did have him come out and do. Again, scheduled, and showed up on time (I have this thing about folks being on time and not wasting MY time, which Dave has down to a science), and taken care of. He might not be cheap, but face it, when hiring a professional you should be looking for professional work, not the lowest price -- or at least you should be when the downside is the risk of your house burning down. (If I wanted to take the risk I'd do it myself =)) I tried not to shoulder cruise much, but what I saw was done The Right Way, so I'm pleased with the results. We spent a bit of time talking about other possibilities, upgrades and such. I didn't feel pressured or anything, it was just chat about someday if I wanna change up the house or go to sell and need to meet code for inspection or whatever.

As above, good guy, respectful of your time, and I'd use him again in a heartbeat.

Very easy to deal with. Very responsive. Knowledgeable. Understanding and considerate to customer's need and concerns. Highly recommend and will continue to request David's service.

I needed my electrical outlet replaced to fit my EV charger adapter. Dave provided a consultation over Zoom and then we proceeded to schedule a day he could work on my outlet. For the entire project, I felt that he was knowledgeable and explained everything to me so I understood what he was doing. 10/10 would go back to him to work on future electrical projects.

Dave is amazing! I needed some outlets added to my garage and had no idea where to get started. Dave first did a virtual walkthrough via WhatsApp the same day I requested a quote and he gave me estimate a little while after that.

The day of, he was right on time, very friendly and did an awesome job - I couldn't ask for more. If you're looking for a professional electrician that will give you top notch service, call Dave first; you won't be disappointed! Thanks Dave!

Dave is exceptional in his work and great to work with. He is clear, communicative and has the patience to see the job thru. He installed a generator for us which required permits etc and he followed thru impeccably. Highly recommended.

Dave rocks. But seriously, it's hard to find quality people/companies these days, so we really appreciated Dave's professionalism and quality craftsmanship. He took care of several electric issues throughout the house and found some other issues which some folks in the past had overlooked. Thank you Dave!

Dave was able to come and fix our issues even though it was short notice. He was very responsive,  on time and had everything fixed in a couple of hours! Overall we had a really good experience and would recommend his services!

I contacted the owner and he answered the call and I was lucky because he had a cancellation and he was able to fix the non working outlets throughout the home. In addition, I asked him to do a few other things while he was there and he did. Just a very professional and helpful person for any of your electrical needs in the Tri Valley area, including Danville.

Dave is a rockstar! I wanted a Nema 14-50 outlet installed for our EV. I looked into getting one installed last year when we bought our house. The first company that came out said we were on a 100 amp service and would need to upgrade to 200 amps for a plug to be installed.

I looked into upgrading to 200 amps and it required permits and PG&E approving the project. I was told it would me close to $10,000 to do this project....I'm good!

I put the idea off and then decided this year to look back into it. Called a few electricians and was blown off or did not get a call back. I found Dave, gave him a call, left a message and by the end of the day he called me back, we set up an appointment for him to come out and look at the property.

Dave showed up on time, thoroughly went through everything and said he could do it without having to upgrade to a 200 amp service.

He was super up front letting me know he was very busy and it would be a month or so before he could get me in. This was ok with me, he sent me an invoice, I paid a portion up front and we locked in a day to start the project.

Due to covid related stuff, the breaker he needed was on back order. There was no estimate on when it would be in. Dave kept me in the loop the whole time, constantly checking in to let me know if he had any updates.

The item finally came in, Dave and I agreed on a date, he showed up on time and did an amazing job! He did such a clean job with the installation.

Dave did accidentally knock a wire lose while pulling the wires and it knocked out our doorbell cam. I didn't notice until later that night. I contacted him and he was very apologetic, said he would come out and fix it.

He showed up again on time, even replaced a few parts and had it fixed within 15 minutes.

Dave is super professional, very detail oriented and has such a great personality. We will definitely be using him for more projects around the house.

Cheers Dave!

I had an electrical problem with my fifth wheel trailer and he was one of the few electricians willing to come out to help me with it. Incredibly friendly and respectful and did a great job. He is my new go-to electrician!

I used them for putting Tesla charger in my garage. They did a great job in checking the main and ensuring we have room to add the charger. The work was seamless and nicely done.

Shamrockin Electric is the electrician you will want in your contacts list. Dave is an absolute professional who does meticulous, high-quality work. Shamrockin Electric installed my home security system and, not only have I had no problems with it, he also did the neatest job I've ever seen. Even when there was a complication with one of the devices that would have had me giving up and just tying a cowbell to the doorknob, Dave tackled the challenge and quickly got it all sorted out.

In addition to his impeccable work, he's dedicated to providing stellar customer service, he's trustworthy, and he was kind to my dog. Is there really anything else you can ask for?

I would 100% recommend Shamrockin Electric. Five stars all the way.

We had Dave diagnose and fix our lights in our garage, swap out ceiling fans throughout house, add recessed lights in a couple of rooms, and added additional switches and dimmers. He was neat, professional, and prompt. Best of all was that Dave was able to work around my husband and I work schedule. We both WFH and he was able to work around the hours where we were on Zoom meetings, which was highly appreciated as the drilling/hammering can get quite loud. His rates were reasonable and we will use Dave for any future work and have recommended him to our friends and neighbors.

Dave is awesome! I needed lots of electrical work done and submitted a Yelp request. Called back some of the top rated companies that replied and only got the runaround, Oh we can't get out there for weeks, etc. Down the list of replies was Dave's, a simple Hi sir, I can certainly help you with those issues and his cell phone number. I left him a voice mail and he called me back in 2 minutes (even though it was a Friday night), then we scheduled a time for him to come out. He addressed everything to my satisfaction, did top quality work and was respectful of our home. I was very satisfied. Some of the repairs I requested, those other guys told me Oh geez we'll have to send multiple people out, that could be really tricky to troubleshoot, etc. Dave figured every single problem out in 5 minutes or less. He does meticulous work too; when he's done he uses his personal vacuum cleaner to vacuum every last speck of dust away from the area he was working in, you literally can't even tell he was there!

I've had other electrical issues that needed addressing and Dave has come back two more times. Once again he set a clear date and time, showed up on time, assessed all work that needed to be done, provided an estimate then fixed everything perfectly. Dave also teaches you as he works so you clearly understand why something isn't working, and what he did to fix it. I'm the type of person that really appreciates observing and learning from a highly skilled person, and Dave is a great teacher; not a lot of companies or independent electricians will do that. He is smart and very skilled and it's nice of him to share his knowledge with the rest of us.

Dave is very patient, great with people and just an incredibly nice man to deal with and talk to. Honest too. On one occasion when he was replacing a ceiling light fixture the drywall around it cracked slightly as he removed the fixture (not his fault at all, a normal occurrence). It was so minor I honestly couldn't even tell. He came and told me right away, and said he wouldn't charge me for that hour of labor to make up for it. He didn't have to do that, but he did. Just a solid, honest man all around.

5 stars all the way. Dave should be your first call for any electrical needs. I'll never use anyone else.

We couldn't thank Dave enough for repairing the electrical issue at our house. With a 1 year old and no power to 3/4 of our house he came in and handled it quickly and professionally. I will be using/recommending Dave for any electrical needs in the future!

Dave is an outstanding and pragmatic electrician and is the most reliable tradesman I have found.  First, unlike the past electricians I have worked with he both called and texted me back when he said he would.  His voice mail said he was booked until Wednesday and on Wednesday like clockwork he called back.   He's also a very personable and nice guy.  Highly competent, reliable and nice.

He took the time to understand the problem before he arrived and also clearly explained his fees then as well.  We scheduled a day and he got back to me with a two hour ETA window for his starting the work.  Again, he was right on time and also texted me beforehand.  

Once here he took the time for me to walk him through the problems I was having with a number of my upstairs circuits.  Then he went through the diagnostics in short order.  He provided me a few options to preserve some old switches and breakers or replace some or all of the components.  I chose the clean it all up and he went through the fixes very efficiently.  

While here I had a number of other items I wanted to get done at another time so he did a walkthrough of that and provided a clear estimate.   He also provided good advice on options for the additional ceiling wiring I wanted and also what he would stay away from....and what would keep costs reasonable and what would be excessive.  

I will be using him for the additional work and any other electrical work.  He's a fantastic find and I would look nowhere else.

I called David for installing transfer switch for connecting power generator. I would say that the whole experience from onsite consultation and job estimate to completion of the job was great. David is very nice and courteous. He is responsive and he completed the job on time as promised.

Dave from Shamrockin was great.  He was booked out a couple weeks, but it was worth the wait.  He fixed our electrical panel and then fixed/installed two other things in the same visit all within the originally quoted time.  We will definitely use Shamrockin for our next electrical needs.

Everything about the experience was great...from getting a quote to getting the project done! David is a thorough professional and it was a pleasure to work with him; highly recommended

Had an electrical issue on one of the properties I manage in Palo Alto.  Had previously used an electrician that was extremely expensive and found out they did poor work.  The tenant didn't care for them either. Then I found Shamrockin Electric.  What a life saver, and I truly mean that.  David was able to come out quickly and assess the issue and find out we had an electrical hazard that could have turned into a fire.  He repaired and replaced the necessary items and left the house and area he worked in clean.  My tenant appreciated him and was happy to have such a professional, kind and meticulous.  David sent me a photo of what he found and then what it looked like after.  Night and Day!  I highly recommend David and Shamrockin for your electrical needs.

I really appreciate that they are punctual, professional, positive, problem solving on the fly. These are thing that have made an impression on me

My wife and I asked Dave to install a number of new ceiling can lights and trouble shoot some lighting issues we were having in our house. Dave quickly found the issues caused by a prior contractor's work and resolved them. As to the new ceiling can lights, I could not have asked for more professional work. Dave took photos after completing the work as much of the work was in the attic crawl space. It was clear that the work was completed by someone who is passionate about their trade and for providing exemplary customer service. I will absolutely call on Shamrockin Electric for future needs!
