I began my electrical journey in 1998 in Ireland, completing a four-year apprenticeship. I worked for the same electrical contractor, starting as an apprentice and advancing to foreman. Upon relocating to New York, I took on the role of foreman electrician for a general contractor, focusing on upscale apartments and commercial buildings in Manhattan. I worked with this contractor until I transitioned to California, where I passed my General Electrician exam and received my journeyman license. I then took the contractor's exam, leading to the establishment of Emerald Pacific Electric in July 2010.

Recommended Customer Reviews

My son stuck something into his electrical outlet in his bedroom causing it to not work. When I called the company they came out and fixed it. Since I have younger children they showed me the covers that I should be using that keep them from sticking their toys into the outlets. I agreed to pay a little extra to use the ones they had with them just to make sure my home was a little safer. I really appreciate them taking the time to make sure my family stays safe. They know that being a mom is a very hard job.

They are just the best, I called them many times, they have been always able to solve the issues in my shop quickly and at a good price. great service.

Chris was so awesome! Back in June, I was installing a second wall oven in my kitchen and needed to run a dedicated 220 from the panel. Most electricians we had come look at it wanted to cut a bunch of holes in my ceiling (to run the shortest route from the panel to the kitchen) and would require that I deal with the drywall repair separately.
When Chris came, I had mentioned the attic idea and his immediate reaction was that he wouldn't do it any other way as this was the cleanest solution. The only hole he would cut would be right behind the wall oven. Chris was the only one that took the time to open up my current oven to see that it was actually only 20 amps and that the panel may have just needed a little cleanup/update rather than a complete upgrade (as other electricians have suggested). On top of all this, Chris' price was very reasonable so I decided to go with him.
On the day of the install, Chris came with one helper and did exactly what he had told me. He cut one hole on the wall where the oven would be installed. He ran metal conduit up the side of the house and into the attic. He drilled a hole from the attic down to the kitchen to drop the line in. He even installed the box based on the drawing that my cabinet maker had drawn up so that I can give my cabinet guy the precise measurement of where to cut a hole in the back of the cabinet in order to feed the power to the wall oven. He put the piece of drywall that he had cut out so I didn't even need to repair it myself. He also checked that my new oven actually only required 20 amps instead of the 40 that the website had listed which means I really did not need to upgrade to 200 amps right now as the other electrician had suggested! I also had Chris install a ceiling fan and cleaned up my panel while he was here. He did all this in 6 hours, only took a minor break in between.
Chris came back a week after I had the cabinets installed to install the wall oven. Everything went off without a hitch. Chris is so diligent and respectful and personable. I am definitely going to call him for any future electrical work!

Chris was great! I called about a fluorescent kitchen light that was flickering off, and he explained that it probably just needed a new ballast (since the fixture had power), and he said it would be around $100 to fix.
We scheduled the appointment a couple days in advance for Saturday at 8:30am, and he arrived promptly. He removed and replaced the T-12 lamp 40 watt ballast for $109 total. He was courteous, responsive, and efficient. I would definitely use them again :)

While I ended up going with a family friend, Chris came out and gave me an estimate. Great communication and fair price. All around good experience and would easily recommend him.

Chris and the guys at Emerald did a job for me that included running power out to an entertainment area in my backyard. They had to dig a trench to bury the cable underground, including lifting up the turf and laying it back down at the end of the day. They started on time, finished on time and on budget. I got two quotes and Emerald was the cheaper of the two. They were very friendly and professional and didn't leave a mess. This was about a month ago and I am very happy with the quality of their work. Chris even gave me some tips on installing LED kitchen lights that I was able to do myself, saving me money. Top notch... I know who I will be calling next time I need any electrical work done.

These guys are great. Have used them several times. Quality work at a fair price. Always on time and great follow up. One time I called on a Sunday with noises coming from my breaker box and they came right over and spent several hours replacing the entire box.

Back in May we had a circuit go that affected half our house including our fridge. We had tried to reset it a few times with no luck. I called Emerald Pacific and left a message explaining the issue and noted that we had some urgency in getting someone out since we had family coming into town. Chris called back right away and fit us in the very next day! He came out and to my embarrassment was able to reset the circuit with no issue! Oops. He told us to call again if we had a repeat and to just leave everything as is. He was nice enough not to charge us even though I am sure it interfered with his scheduling that day!
Luck would have it that it happened again later that night. I called Chris and again he fit us in that next day. He was able to debug the issue and put in a fix. He took the time to talk to me about our old cabling and any different options for upgrading if we continued to have issues.
Chris was personable, efficient and knows what he is doing! I will definitely be calling him again!

Chris is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and kept his word every step of the way.
Chris showed up on time and was extremely friendly. I had a great feeling about him from the start. He knew what to do to make my vision of what I wanted to become a reality. His quote was very well priced and he can even patch up the drywall after he is done! I will definitely give him a call for my future electrical needs.

Chris and Frank were fantastic! Knowledgeable, honest, reasonable. They worked Saturday and Sunday round the clock. Friendly and professional service. Would not go anywhere else.
