Recommended Customer Reviews

Chris was so helpful evaluating our multiple projects and providing excellent service at very fair price. He went out of his way to make sure we had as little stress possible in dealing with our emergency and long term electrical work . He is professional and very knowledgeable and the work was quick, clean, and expertly completed. We plan to use him for any electrical work we have in the future and recommend him to anyone looking for an honest, fair, experienced, and knowledgeable electrician .

Chris showed up on time and did the job perfectly in a professional way. I have also recommended him to my neighbors who were also delighted with the services he provided. I will happily recommend him to anyone and everyone!
I will point out that when I was looking for someone to change a breaker in an older panel I got some outrageous quotes that would have almost required selling a kidney. I am so glad I found Chris who was honest and did the job that was required without taking advantage of us!

I always get three estimates for any job I have done on my house. I look for good reviews, value, licensing and warranty and McWay Electric fit the bill. One major pet peeve of mine is unresponsive customer service. Though, McWay was a little more expensive, I did get a discount, than who I originally chose, I went with this company because they actually got back to me. I am still waiting for the call from the other company they said they would give me. Luckily, this was not an urgent matter. Chris arrived on the time slot agreed upon and finished the work promptly. I would use and recommend this company again.

We hired Chris to add some LED down lights in our living areas and add & replace a couple dimmer switches. His prices were right in line with the two other quotes that we received, but his responsiveness and professionalism was much better than the others. Chris and his coworker took the time to protect our floors and furniture during the project, did quality work, and we're punctual with their start time. I will be calling him for future electrical needs, and would be happy to refer him to all of my friends.

I added a 220v 50a ,spa circuit to my home and Chris upgraded a current run to my A/C unit to include the spa wire. Excellent work, outstanding price, very professional, clean and very helpful. I truly could not ask for more. His company has become ""My Electrician""! Thank you Chris!

Very service oriented in providing an estimate. Prompt responses, clear communication, friendly connection.

I needed a lot of electrical work done to get a 220 V hot tub connected in my backyard. As this was something new to me I was not aware of what was needed, however, Chris at McWay Electric was very knowledgeable and walked me through the process, and explained everything throughout. The whole process was very smooth and the connection looks great. Chris is very professional and easy to work with. I would highly recommend McWay electric and plan on contacting Chris for future projects.

Chris was FANTASTIC!! He came to our house for a site visit before he gave me a quote. He offered options that were available to resolve my issue and shared the difference in cost for each. He also leveraged his expertise to recommend a resolution that worked out beautifully!! He was ver customer-focused, friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable! I will continue to use him for all of my electrical needs.

Have used them twice once to do a stop gap fix due to our kitchen microwave being on the same circuit as basically the whole house. They were able to get the fix in so I could live until we could put the microwave on its own circuit.
When I finally got the circuit put in they were quick, easy, and got the job done for a reasonable price. Would definitely recommend and use them again.

Great work from Chris and Justin who took care of my dual meter and 200amp service upgrade project for my rental property that I added a detached ADU. They did all the scheduling with SDG&E and city inspector. Their work passed the city inspection and now I got my 2 meters and a subpanel inside the garage that they transferred all the circuit from the old panel. They also gave me the lowest bid out of 5 contractors I contacted. Very professional and have all the materials ready when all the other contractors telling me that what I needed for the project are backordered. Will definitely use them again for any future electrical projects. Thank you again to Chris and Justin!
