Del Mar Electric
Company Overview
Our expertise lies in solving problems. We are well-versed in the complete range of electrical services and are committed to resolving electrical issues.
Being a family-run company for more than, I developed my expertise in Northern California while working for a well-respected company called Foley Electric Company. I was employed there for a period of five years before moving to my wife's hometown of San Diego. I became enamored with this fantastic city of San Diego. It shares qualities with my original home of Santa Barbara, but the coastal waters here is much clearer and more inviting.
We started this company in 2000 while residing in Carmel Valley, CA. Our location in the Solana Beach area and cover the entirety of North County. I completed my education in electrical services in Northern California for five years in total before moving to Cardiff by the Sea, where I worked with another locally owned business called Fredrick's Electric before opening my own company. We proudly belong to the BBB with an A+ status.

Melissa W.Where do I even begin???!! First off, I am always skeptical of home repair people. I guess it stems from my bad experience with a plumber years ago..but I digress. We called Chris at Del Mar Electric about an issue I had with my circuit breaker box thingy. It had tripped and caused my dryer to burn out. At first my husband called Chris and Chris was super honest with him and told him he was really busy and didn't foresee getting to us for a couple of days. I called around to a couple of other electricians and didn't get calls back or was just plain turned off by their customer service skills. I had heard that Chris does a good job so I made the decision it was worth waiting for Chris to take a look at our issue. This time I called him back and I told him ""look, I'm in a world of hurt..I'm a mom without a dryer!!! My life as I know it has basically come to a complete stop and I am a desperate woman."" He laughed and said he would squeeze me in as soon as he could. True to his word he showed up when he said he would and fixed our problem very quickly and efficiently. Chris has an easy manor about him kind of like a soulful surfer who just happens to be a kick-ass electrician. He did a great job, did it quickly and for a price I thought was more than fair for the work performed. I highly recommend that you call Chris at Del Mar Electric if you need an expert electrician who is reliable, trustworthy and solid all the way around.
Mick M.Chris did an amazing job! Super nice and honest and did not ask for a troubleshooting fee which most of the others do. Was able to hunt down a breaker panel which saved me from paying for an entire breaker box. Installed some new dedicated outlets and repaired my bad breakers which actually melted onto the panel. Chris is a great person who does great work. Highly recommend him.
I called Chris and he was so helpful that we resolved the problem over the phone. He could have come out to charge me but he is one of the good people. I highly recommend.
We have used Del Mar Electric on three occasions over the past year and on each occasion Del Mar Electric has exceeded our expectations. The most challenging job was to revive a sloppily installed ancient low voltage lighting system that we inherited from the prior owners. Rather than to try to sell a new system, Chris volunteered that he thought the old one could be salvaged. After a bit of tinkering he had it up and running and we've been delighted with the results. I'd recommend him extremely highly.
Scott L.Chris did a fantastic job - he truly exceeded my expectations ! Equally important, he was easy to contact, showed up when he said he would and was fairly priced. I highly recommend Del Mar Electric!
Chris is the best! Some one else came and quoted a total overhaul. Chris looked at us and laughed. He did the job for 1/5 the cost of the other quote. Said it was an easy repair. He was in an out in a few hours. Very nice and let our 9 year old son watch (from a safe distance) while he worked. Would hire him again in a second.
Susie N.Great electrician. He installed a new electrical panel for me and was very thorough, on time, fair and professional. I'm a real estate broker and it's tough to find a great electrician to refer. Highly recommend Chris and Del Mar Electric!
Chris from Del Mar Electric installed 4 ceiling fans and two smoke detectors in my home. Not only was he thorough, professional, and trustworthy, he was truly a nice guy. His work was carefully and well done (I know, my brother is an electrician). He definitely didn't cut corners. The fans work perfectly, no wobbling, and no drywall or painting repair work needed. I definitely recommend Chris and Del Mar Electric!
Peter C.Thorough, fair, on time time and a really good guy. As good as it gets.
Jim S.Chris was recommended by a friend when we needed a switch and ceiling box installed for a ceiling fan and to install a new interior entry light above our front door. He showed up right on time, discussed some options with us and then got right to work. He was very careful to cover our furniture to protect it from plaster dust, and to clean up when the job was done.
Chris clearly understood what we wanted and helped us understand what he planned to do to get us that. He was very patient as we needed to spray paint the ceiling cover for the entry light after he had removed it with the old light. He was willing to work at the nearly 20' height of the ceiling and worked safely while he was up there.
Highly recommend Del Mar Electric.
