McDarby Electric

I'm a local Realtor, and I was lucky enough to be referred to Patrick by another electrician, who wasn't available at the time. I've been referring Patrick to clients for estimates, diagnosis, and electrical work, for about 4 years now. Every client has been thrilled with his work, pricing, and demeanor. He is very reasonable, prompt, and reliable, which is hard to find in this business. I've been through about 3 Electricians in my line of work, and Patrick has been the best, without a doubt!

I called pat with an electric issue I was having, he got back to me within 5 minutes and verbally taught me how to reset all of my wires. This dude is the man, saved me $95 that I could have spent on new outlets and wires!

I have used McDarby Electric a couple of times and extremely satisfied and very reasonably priced

Pat was so professional and fair in pricing. Plus he answered the phone immediately and was in the area. Came right over. Service doesn't get any better than that. He got the power working again to my apt. Thanks.

Pat was referred to me by my previous electrician, Mario Brothers (also awesome!), who relocated their business to Oceanside - too far from IB. So I called Pat yesterday morning to set an appointment to have our Jacuzzi spa electrical wiring connected. He agreed to come next week. About 10 minutes later, Pat called me back to let me know he had an afternoon cancellation and he could come today - Wow, same day service?! He showed up on-time, worked neatly, was enjoyable to converse with during the job and left the area looking better than when he arrived. If we have any more electrical needs, Pat will be our go-to guy! Very fair pricing too!

We just purchased an older condo and needed electrical work done. Pat was recommended to us by an experienced maintenance man who was coming to do general work and house painting for us. We also wanted four ceiling fans installed where there weren't any before. As we got more familiar with the property, we asked Pat if he could do additional projects for us (a light replacement in the garage, rerouting of an old cable wire, changing out a hanging lamp in a high ceiling).
Pat worked quickly and gave us heads up about what he was working on. His rates are reasonable and we're very happy with his work. I'm thankful we now know an electrician should we need him in the future.
We highly recommend Pat!

Pat was wonderful to work with. We didn't have the right switch for the ceiling fan we bought so he went down to Home Depot & got one - even bought the face plate to match the other ones in the room (instead of getting a cheap white one). He is courteous & a great electrician. We will be using him again!

Except that Pat's NOT my neighbor, my experience with Pat has been almost identical to Chris Fs. He started by fixing the little things, built trust and demonstrated expertise, and then I used him for more work.

I'm new to San Diego, have a mid-century modern house (realtor speak for 1955 with old wiring) and blew a breaker on a Saturday night. Pat showed up on Sunday with 1955 vintage breaker in hand and fixed me right up. There weren't your basic Home Depot breakers and I wasn't going to fix this on my own. With Pat, no hassle, good pricing.

Since then he's moved some outlets, added some circuits, cleaned up some wiring that was just a mess, and ultimately updated my house to current. I couldn't be happier and recommend Pat to anyone.

We have had the opportunity to get Pat to do some major and minor electrical work in our home(s) for many years. He does good, reliable work and when he's done the work area looks better than when he started. He's very careful around our stuff. Whether it is installing some upgraded lighting fixures or putting in a whole new service box, Pat gets it done well and there are no upcharges or surprises. He is our go to guy for electrical work.

i moved into a new home in july of 2012. the house was in very good condition, but it was built in 1978 and need some electrical upgrades and some AV work. i got patricks name through my real estate agent. i had him do 5 different projects including a ceiling fan, new outlets and running AV cables for a new TV/audio system. he always showed up on time and clearly knew how to do the job. the work was neat and done in a timely manor. he gave me the price to do the jobs before starting and never gave me the "" i think it may cost a little more "". have not had any issues with any of his work.
