Del Mar Electric
Company Overview
Our expertise lies in identifying faults. We understand the complete range of electrical services and are committed to addressing electrical challenges.
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. I spent a period of five years before transferring to my wife's hometown of the beautiful San Diego. I fell in love with this wonderful city of San Diego. It reminds me of my original home of Santa Barbara, but the water here is significantly clearer and more inviting.
We established this business in 2000 while settling in Carmel Valley. We are based in Solana Beach, CA and provide services to the entirety of North County. I completed my training in electrical work in Northern CA for a duration of five years before moving to Cardiff, where I worked with another family-run business called Fredrick's Electric Company before opening my own firm. We proudly belong to the Better Business Bureau (BBB) with an A+ rating.

Recommended Customer Reviews

Really fantastic service from Chris at Del Mar Electric. He was able to give us same-day service to update a subpanel in our new townhouse, and also fixed a few electrical odds and ends that weren't working. He and his team were extremely professional and super friendly, got all of the work done quickly, and left us with smiles on our faces! Really can't recommend him enough. Glad to know we've got such a great electrician in the neighborhood!

Very pleasant and reasonable! We had some outlets that weren't working and booked an appointment for Chris to take a look. However, by the time he came out, we were able to fix it ourselves (broken fuse). We expected him to charge us for having to come out and we would have paid, but he didn't charge us! We'll definitely use Del Mar Electric next time we have a problem we can't fix ourselves!

I needed 16 smoke detectors changed out in my house and was really scared about how much it would cost. I was pleasantly surprised when Chris suggested I purchase the smoke detectors (and a few combo carbon dioxide/smoke detectors) directly from Home Depot and then call him for the install. He and his son came out and installed the detectors quickly and they are so nice too! I would 100% recommend them and will be calling again next time I need some work done. Thank you!

They picked up the phone right away and were able to troubleshoot with me over the phone to solve my breaker issue. I would use them again for small or large needs! Thanks

Del Mar Electric is a highly skilled Father and Son professional team. It was impressive to see how efficiently they worked together. I have used about 5 other electricians and I rate Chris and Del Mar Electric #1. No hesitation to recommend them for top quality work. I give them 10 stars or an A + rating because they exceeded my expectations.

I needed someone to install dimmers and a complex chandelier bought in Mexico and Chris responded and arrived in 1 hour!! On time and professional and go the job done with zero issues. Will use them again for any lighting needs we have.

Del Mar Electric is the best! Our hardwired smoke detectors have been going off randomly in the middle of the night (no fun!) so we decided it was time to replace them all. I had heard about Del Mar Electric from a neighbor and after a weekend of being woken up twice by the screeching smoke detectors, I called Chris this morning. Chris said he'd try to fit us in today, and sure enough, he and his associate were here this afternoon to install 8 new smoke detectors throughout our house. He charged me a very reasonable price, was super friendly, professional and knowledgeable, and best of all, we hope to not suffer through anymore middle-of-the-night false alarms! Highly recommend these guys.

Chris was very responsive and was able to come to my house within 30 minutes I called him. I would definitely recommend him.

I found Chris of Del Mar Electric through Nextdoor. He had several excellent reviews, so I called him for an issue we had with our outdoor lighting. He was prompt, quickly figured out what was wrong, and got it fixed. I've had him here a few times since for various issues and have always been happy. We highly recommend him!

Chris responds rapidly. Has very fair pricing and is a consummate professional. He installed a new electrical box and a Tesla home charger. I am very satisfied and recommend him to anyone looking to have big or small jobs done right the first time.
