Intrinsic Electric

Intrinsic Electric. They won’t return my calls or answer my emails. Maybe they don’t do the type of work that I’m asking about, but I have no idea.

This small business deserves an A+. David and Mike were excellent; friendly and SUPER knowledgeable. We consider them craftsman — stellar service, excellent knowledge base. We purchased our 1922 bungalow last year and it needs so much work. David was patient and offered excellent advice and guidance as to what to do first. We had other electricians come over to do estimates — but it was David who provided answered all of our questions (we know nothing about electrical and we probably were asking silly questions) but David was super patient and took the time to walk us through everything. We plan to bring him back when we know what our next steps on to resurrect this little old home!

I left a voicemail message to schedule an estimate. That was 3 weeks ago. I still haven’t gotten a return call.

David is professional, honest, and pleasure to have in your house. He has been very patient with the ongoing updates to our 1930’s-era home, returning several times over the last month to hook up electrical as the general construction has been completed. I feel safer in my home now that he has replaced the ancient wiring. I highly recommend David and Instrinsic Electric.

I am a first-​time homeowner (i.e. Rookie), the house we purchased was built in 1927, a lot for a rookie to handle. Hiring and entrusting my home to a stranger? Very nervous making. Finding Intrinsic Electric, JACKPOT!!!
5 stars for David and Joel. Both of these men are committed to all the best qualities of being courteous, professional and accommodating to their customers.
Joel pointed out some issues that needed addressing and instead of «winging it» he got on his phone with some colleagues (one came by in person to consult) who knew the answers and double checked with at least one county inspector for verification. Keeping me from having to deal with any later headaches or repercussions. Doing it right the first time! I did only get to see Joel in action for one day but it was a great first impression. David was able to find a stand in worker (Lauren — He gets a 5 as well) who was every bit as friendly, knowledgeable and professional.
David is a polite, professional, patient, thorough, knowledgeable, expert! David listens well and makes educated recommendations. He showed as much concern for my project and my home as I do. My wife and I changed our minds on a couple of line items and David was happy to accommodate the changes we made. Through out the entire process he made time to answer any questions and explain anything I didn’t understand. This was especially true when relating to billing and invoicing. David always made himself available to me whenever he could, be it phone, email or in person. He went above and beyond to help me with my electrical needs.
The icing on the cake is, we passed our electrical permit inspection with glowing approval. The inspector was very impressed with the work he looked at.
The Intrinsic Electric business card has a permanent home in my phone book.

Very good… thorough and a pleasure to work with on several projects. I would highly recommended.

David and Joel are the best! They helped my husband and I deal with 80 years of accumulated wiring in our home and led us through a full upgrade of our system. Why we loved working with these guys: 1) They know their stuff. Totally professional and knowledgable, especially regarding some of the quirks of our 1929 home. They also dealt with permits and inspections, which was a huge help to us newbies. 2) Great communication. David or Joel would update us via email or phone regularly just to let us know where they were in the process. I could always get a hold of them with questions, and they returned our calls and emails quickly. 3) They go above and beyond. When some of the electrical work resulted in a loss of hot water in our house, David and Joel came back to our house, even before we knew the cause of the issue. They stayed after hours and fixed the problem immediately, keeping us updated the entire time. 4) Very competitive rates. Worlds better than most of the contractors we spoke to. Great guys, great work. Highly recommend!

Our Fairfax home was built in 1953, when Sir Francis Drake was a dirt road. There is a mishmash of wiring. None of the older receptacles were grounded. David added new grounded circuits where needed after thoroughly inspecting the entire electrical system. He showed me areas that can be improved in the future, and did not try to talk us into major rewiring. The cost of the project was very reasonable. He is also very much a gentleman, and very easy to work with.

David and crew were supremely professional in the two jobs they did for us, from digging a trench for a new circuit to installing motion activated security lights over the garage (and syncing it with the porch light). Would recommend them without hesitation.

Friendly, professional and highly qualified electricians. Intrinsic was referred to me by a co-​worker but before that I must have called 10 different companies for something I felt should have been a breeze for an experienced electrician but many of these places didn’t call back or even show up to appts. after I took time off from work. Now my lighting has been redone and is stunning and I would highly recommend Intrinsic Electric and use them again. Thanks guys
