We bought a 99-year old Craftsman that was completed outdated, ungrounded, had exposed wires everywhere; just a mess. After talking to another company that supposedly specialized in older homes, they wanted $500 up front just to do a detailed inspection to tell us what was needed to bring the electricals up to code. They asked this and that, when they should be taking the bull by the horns and knowing or figuring it out!

Thankfully, we came across Emerald Pacific Electric. Chris and his team were superb: easy to communicate with, understood exactly what was needed, and suggested thoughtful avenues that we didn't even think of, such as what future needs of the house if we were to expand it, and burying the old unsightly overhead wires to go underground. His team was very respectful, hard working, put in all the outlets I would ever want, installed high quality lights and fans-- the works! They rewired the entire house and garage and really went above and beyond. Those guys thought nothing of crawling under the house all day to put in the wiring! Chris really looked after us as if the house were his own. Very high quality work, the only electricians you would ever need.

I really liked these guys. I felt their pricing was reasonable. But I had some time sensitive projects I wanted to have completed. I texted and called. No response after multiple requests. Just very disappointed. If you're too busy to take on more work, please just say so. Don't string along clients.

Super professional on install and cleanup, many small details went above and beyond. These guys are top notch, excellent work so far on 2 projects.
Giving 5 stars and wish I'd ran into these guys earlier.

I called Emerald Pacific Electric and spoke to Chris. He gave me an idea of cost and time of completion. So, I thought t he sounded legit. We booked the appointment and Chris was on it about ETA.
Justin was the technician who showed up. He did a thorough assessment. We spoke about pricing and before I knew it, the job was all done.
Excellent service and communication.
Give these guys a try. They won't disappoint you.

My wife and I are really happy with all of the work that Justin and John have done. We couldn't really afford all the work at once, and they understood and were very kind to let us phase the work out. The craftsmanship is top notch. We still have more work to do, and as long as we are in San Diego these are the guys we'll be going back to again and again!

Chris came by and installed two 14-50 outlets same-day as inspection.

Friendly and patient with our numerous questions at a busy home.

Thanks.

I called emerald as I had a new electrical problem via sdge. Chris talked me thru the options and ended up finding the problem (over the phone).

I then explained the situation to sdge and made the problem go away.

I recommend emerald electric!

We've used Emerald Pacific Electric multiple times and each time, they've done an amazing job! They're professional, responsive, honest and quick. They've done whole-house lighting, backyard and small jobs and are always reliable. Definitely recommend.

Andrew B.

Awesome electricians. We had them show up to install a fan in a tricky situation. Without much heads up, they showed up same day, installed the fan, and fixed a suicide switch. He fixed a few other things free of charge when he noticed the room was becoming a nursery and felt it would be safer. I'll be using them in the future.

Late one night we turned on a rolling air conditioner while our house fan was on and blew a breaker. Or at least that's what we thought happened but after flipping the breaker back on some outlets still no longer worked. Worse? We had an electrical smoke smell in the house!

Chris was at our home within hours of our call and had us fixed up super quickly. This included:
* Diagnosis and replacement of GFCI outlet
* Reworked old sub-panel to fix dropped neutral
* Diagnosis and replacement of another outlet
* Reworked ANOTHER sub-panel to find ANOTHER dropped neutral
* Replaced missing metal faceplate

All of this was done in ~2 hours, he had all necessary parts at the ready, and left everything spotless!

I've been ripped off by two other electricians so this was a pleasant surprise for me.

Super nice, would recommend if you need someone for electrical work. We're already thinking of some wishlist items we may be sending Emerald's way.

Carol M.

10/10/2019 12:00:00 SA

If I could, I'd gladly give Emerald Pacific Electric 10 stars! They definitely deserve an excellent rating. The work they did for us was 100% professional and they charged an extremely fair price. We had extensive rewiring, new breaker box installation (relocated to code), and had all old outlets/switches throughout the property upgraded/grounded. Our home was built in 1960, so the need for an electrical overhaul was a top priority for me. Not only did the crew put in many (many) hours to get the job done, they also went above and beyond in ways to make sure everything was just right. Sending a huge thanks to the whole crew - Chris, Mark, John and Sean! You guys are great.

Carol M.

P.S. Aristotle the dog went into a slight depression after the job was complete. I think he missed you guys! Lol! Thanks again.

Once again great work and service from Chris and John. Free estimate, set appointments and arrived on schedule each time.
Provided tarps, etc to minimize the mess. AND they are nice people!
Thanks again!!

I bought my house a little over 2 years ago and wanted to replace my old electrical panel as it would outdated and unsafe. I called Emerald Pacific and a few companies out here in San Diego for quotes in replacing my electrical panel and after going over the project, the time frame and the pricing I was so happy I chose Emerald Pacific Electrical. They offered me more than any of the other 3 companies that I called which all had great reviews here on Yelp.

From the follow up calls, to taking a look at my panel and giving me a quote on short notice. They gave me an AWESOME deal (compared to others). They took care of all the permits and inspections with the city of Chula Vista. They also replaced the service Entrance and Riser in to my electrical panel and labeled all my breakers, cleanliness after work was completed and getting the project done all in one day.

They are very knowledgably, friendly, true and respectful group of guys!!!

I would like to thanks Chris and the crew at Emerald on a job well done and exceeding my expectation. This is an awesome company and would consider them to anyone out there looking to get any Electrical work done at their home or business.

Super great guys. Very easy to work with. I had them install a new outlet for a new stove in my house. Quick and efficient at a very fair price. I was so impressed I started referring them to my customers (I own a small Plumbing company.) I cant say enough good thing about them.

Windee F.

06/10/2020 12:00:00 SA

Woo-hoo! I found electricians who were nice, showed up and got the job done!

We had two dedicated circuits put in for the garage and added a switch for a roof fan. They let me know what they needed to do, did it, and cleaned up. It looks great!

A+ Will have them back for more work.

Alex S.

3/30/2020

Had some old electrical that burned out. Owner Chris called me and set me up with an appt. John was my technician again. Coolest nicest guy ever. Talks you off the ledge and explains what's going on and gives you options on what order to take care of job. These guys are my go to.

Royce N.

02/10/2020 12:00:00 SA

These guys came out right away and fixed up my tangled mess of an office electrical! Thanks!

11/12/2018 12:00:00 SA

Would highly recommend, Mark did a great job. Very professional and knowledgeable.

For anyone looking to get electrical work done, look no further than these guys. Exceptional work and customer service.

Meg C.

8/27/2018

I agree with all the five star reviews on here. Their work is exceptional, they're highly professional and knowledgeable.

The most important aspect of Emerald Pacific to note, however, is they're all very attractive. After Frank gave me the estimate, it was hard to imagine that there were any more attractive Irish people- but all of them were! This was a win!

Sky M.

05/04/2018 12:00:00 SA

Chris, Frank, and all of the electricians at Emerald are of the highest caliber. We have done multiple projects with Emerald including an electrical panel upgrade, added recessed lights, a ceiling fan, dedicated circuits in the garage and even the installation of a whole house fan.

These guys are the best, their prices are fair, and their people are friendly and professional. I recommend them to all of my friends.

Brad D.

10/09/2019 12:00:00 SA

I feel pretty good about these guys, and I would definitely use them again. I can tell they are customer oriented because they have a can do attitude and good business sense.

Jamie L.

2/23/2018

A GFCI outlet in my kitchen blew. I was going to try replacing it myself, but I noticed scorching and melting around one of the contacts, so I thought it might be prudent to have a pro check it out in case there were other issues with my wiring. Chris was able to squeeze me into his schedule quickly, and arrived at the house when he said he would. Friendly and professional service, reasonable price (slightly less expensive than one other highly rated electrician I called).

I'd definitely use Emerald Pacific again for any electrical work in my house.

Christina C.

9/27/2019

I would give these guys more stars if I could. Very thorough, honest, great working company to handle all your electrical needs. We will continue to use them for all electrical needs in the future.

Tyler Y.

3/24/2016

We had a few outlets in our kitchen stop working so I called early in the morning and got a call back within a couple hours and was able to schedule an appointment that afternoon, so the response time was nice.

I was away when it happened (brother was home), but apparently all that was needed was to press a reset switch on one of the outlets. My bad for calling an electrician for something so trivial, sure, but we were billed $134 for the service. Since the website says Free Estimates and No Call Out Charge, I'm guessing the full $134 was for pressing the button.

2 stars for the fast response times and actually fixing the problem, but 3 off for charging so much.

Jake L.

4/14/2019

These guys killed it at our new house. They modernized our nongrounded panel with ground fault protection, upgraded all receptacles, put in beautiful switches and recessed lighting, added some outlets and installed fan boxes in all of our rooms. Workmanship was top notch and every interaction I had was great. Highly reccomend!

Justin J.

05/04/2020 12:00:00 SA

Over a few years, I've had Chris and his team do a full panel upgrade, run new circuits and outlets in the house, and tie in solar inverters. He is always prompt and does spectacular work. He was helpful in figuring out what we needed and was quick to improvise when things weren't exactly as expected. All work is very clean and professional looking.

Danna G.

3/14/2019

If you want top notch, professional work from honest, well-qualified people at reasonable prices, call Emerald Pacific Electric. We recently bought an old home powered, in part, by extension cords running across the attic and with multiple electrical violations in the attic and main and sub panels as noted by the inspectors. We got multiple estimates from well-reviewed electricians, but the most thorough investigation and estimate came from Mark Hegarty at Emerald Pacific Electric. He saw all the problems and seemed to think the solutions could be easily accomplished in a day's time. I appreciated his explanations and his confidence.

We scheduled Emerald Pacific to do the work and Mark and Sean arrived on the appointed day and time with everything they needed to get the job done. Everything agreed was done professionally and with a smile within the day, as promised. When Mark and Sean left, everything was in perfect working order, safe and spotless. They will be coming back to do a few additional electrical jobs that are of a less urgent nature and Emerald Pacific Electric will be the only electricians I will call in the future. If you insist on getting multiple estimates, do yourself a favor and make sure one of them is from Emerald Pacific Electric. These guys are great at what they do and a pleasure to work with!

Nancy D.

11/24/2015

These people are awesome. Chris sent Frank to resolve an issue with our dining/living room

He was clean on time neat and efficient. Squeezed us in on thanksgiving week when most others are already taking the week off

We will call them again and give them 100 per cent rating if we could.

Dan B.

2/17/2019

I called Emerald Pacific because I was cutting my drywall and happened to cut a wire in the wall. Chris answered and even suggested I send him pictures of the wire so he can confirm it was an electrical wire. He even offered me some tips to determine if the wire was live. I didn't actually have them come to my house but this customer service via the phone was more than I expected. I'll definitely be calling Emerald Pacific the next time I need electrical work.

Amy K.

11/12/2018 12:00:00 SA

We hired Mark to increase our power usage at our juice bar. He has great employees, they are professional and knowledgeable.

We would definitely work with this company again if we ever need electrical work.

Julie K.

9/18/2017

These guys are great. Had a number of smaller things I needed to get done for a new home. Received my reasonable estimate the same day they came out. Always received timely responses to my calls and emails. Scheduling the work was a breeze, even when I had to change dates due to HOA issues. Professional, friendly and these guys worked hard to get everything done in a day. Would happily go back to them and recommend them to anyone who needs a reliable licensed electrician.

J P.

12/07/2019 12:00:00 SA

John and Sean did another outstanding job at our house. This was a small job compared to the major work they have done for us in the past. Again, their training and expertise in all things electrical were obvious. They know what they are doing, are very thorough, and do things right. Emerald Pacific Electric has the nicest employees. I highly recommend them and will continue to call them if we need electrical work done. They are awesome. Thank you Chris, John, and Sean.

Cassandra D.

10/24/2014

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 :)

Tiffany V.

9/14/2017

I highly recommend Chris from Emerald Pacific. He is incredibly knowledgeable and gave us a very detailed, professional, and competitive quote. I will be referring him to my friends and family.

5/24/2017

I created a Yelp account because I wanted to rave about Emerald Pacific Electric. After receiving my home inspection report I realized I needed to hire the best and I was fortunate to come across this company. Frank thoroughly examined my home's electrical system and explained what needed to be addressed and the reasoning behind it. I asked him tons of questions and he gladly answered them. Never for a second did he hesitate to explain things whereas other companies did. I kid you not, I spoke to over 10 electricians and no one instilled the confidence in me like Emerald Pacific Electric. Frank and everyone at Emerald Pacific are knowledgeable and professional.

The work completed on May 10, 2017 includes but is not limited to the following: created dedicated circuits, rewire dangerous garage wiring, fixture installations, panel clean up (don't know the correct terminology).

Also, you will get a bid right on the spot which is very convenient instead of having to wait for days for a price. Scheduling was flexible. Cost was excellent. Service was phenomenal.

Brad N.

8/27/2017

Great fast service, professional job, and very reasonable price! I had a new 220 volt circuit run from the panel through my home's crawlspace to my pool pump area. The installation was really clean and professional - cleaner than what was done by the original swimming pool installer.

I highly recommend Emerald Pacific!

Doug C.

3/30/2018

I demolished my 70s fake lava rock fireplace. It was a massive 8 X 8 feet. When we replaced it, we wanted to mount our TV above it. I got 3 bids for the wiring and placing of a very heavy duty TV support arm. They were all about the same price. Emerald Pacific was recommended by the fireplace mason we had hired. The electricians were going to be the first tradesmen and also the last when they came back to actually mount the support arm and hook everything up. Frank really made sure that he understood what we were trying to do and made it happen. I would absolutely use them again

Jennifer L.

8/22/2014

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!

Jordan J.

05/06/2014 12:00:00 SA

I hired Emerald Pacific Electric to install a 240v / 50-amp outlet in my kitchen, to make way for a brand new flat-top GE oven from Home Depot. I called and spoke to Chris (very nice, professional, and down to earth guy!) and we scheduled him to come to my apartment at 10:00am on May 1st, 2014.

My apartment is 30+ years old (as was my old oven!), and the old oven itself was hard-wired to the wall (via a crusty cable coming out of the wall and plugged into the back of the oven). This old, hard-wired configuration is out-dated and not up to code for the installation any new, modern oven.

On the date of our scheduled appointment, Chris called me about 45min prior and asked if he could come early. I told him absolutely (early is always good)! Chris arrived, and within an hour, he had the old cable trimmed down to the wall (fortunately the cable's internal wiring was well shielded and fully intact), and attached and installed it into a clean, fresh new outlet!

What I really appreciated is Chris' level of precision. When he went outside to grab an additional tool item (about halfway into the job), I took a peek at his project. Chris had installed a brand new inside-of-the-wall square enclosure for the outlet to reside in and protect it from any surrounding interference (prior to connecting the wires).

That level of detail right there showed me someone who takes their craft very seriously and does their very best during even the smallest of jobs. Chris also cleaned up his work area tidily and immaculately once the outlet was fully installed. In fact the area was cleaner than I had left it before Chris even arrived!

Oh and did I mention that the new oven performs like a rockstar? That's 50-amps of pure cookin' kapow, baby!

Thanks so much for doing such an awesome job, Chris!

I would highly recommend Emerald Pacific Electric to anyone who are looking for professional, honest, and immaculate Electrical work.

Natalie S.

5/20/2014

We had a vision for an outdoor lighting project but needed an outlet installed on the outside of the house in a random spot. Chris was great from the moment I called him. He gave me an indication of what he thought it would cost but scheduled a time to come by that afternoon. After taking a look, he suggested another option which would cost much less.

We decided to go with his idea and the work was done in a timely manner and the quality of work was great. I will definitely be using Emerald Pacific Electric in the future.

Chris C.

12/20/2017

Chris and Mark are great guys, very honest and professional. I have some complicated wiring in a house I recently bought and they worked hard to diagnose and fix the problem at a reasonable rate. They came highly recommended to me by a friend and I am so glad I took her recommendation.

Shelby L.

2/17/2017

The electrical company sent our a team who came out to do some work on some interior fixtures. They were all really easy to deal with and were just a great group of guys. Very knowledgable and quick in their fixes. I haven't had a ton of electrical work done in the past so I can't speak to pricing. I would 100% use them again in the future. I'll also spread the word to my friends about these guys!

Shannon O.

12/27/2016

Frank is great! I had several little items that needed to be addressed at my condo downtown. Frank came out and provided me with a thorough quote that was fair and easily understandable. He fixed some previous work that wasn't to code and completed everything we discussed, even though it meant he had to return when we determined we needed additional supplies. I will use Emerald Pacific for all of my electrical needs in the future. Great job, Frank!

Hunter B.

01/04/2014 12:00:00 SA

Emerald Pacific Electric gets a 5 star review for the following reasons:

1) Knowledge of the work
2) Fair Pricing
3) Excellent Work
4) Punctuality
5) Professionalism

My wife and I were in a pinch and Emerald Pacific Electric came through for us. Chris fit us in a busy day and did exactly what he said he would: Diagnose, Review with the client and fix the problem.

Sabrina S.

08/10/2016 12:00:00 SA

I love these guys! I use them for all work large and small. I have used them on two large remodeling projects for my work and both times have gotten competitive bids. They are the only company I have found that says yes to everything I want to do and finds a way to make it work, rather than trying to talk me into something easier, or telling me something can't be done. They found a way to work on a 60+ year old building and expand the electrical while keeping everything safe and looking nice. Everyone that works there is professional and helpful. I would call them for any electrical project.

Nancy P.

6/22/2016

We recently purchased an home that had aluminum wiring and other electrical problems. We needed our outlets replaced and upgraded. Justin and his crew came in and replaced the outlets, address recessed lighting , rewire lines due to wall demolition, and several other items. They were professional, honest, and we trusted them 100%. Justin was genuine and very prompt and to the point. Fabulous work. Trusting your electrician is key.

Matt K.

3/20/2017

This was one of the best experiences I have had with any company in a long time: first of all, Chris gave me quotes so I knew what I could expect to pay. Furthermore, I was excited to hear that someone would be able to come out the same day. More surprisingly though, was the fact I got a call from Frank within an hour or two; letting me know he would arrive shortly.

Frank was super friendly, informative, and is really good at what he does. He rewired a three-way switch in my kitchen that my friend and I had done incorrectly, and now could not figure out. Frank rewired and cleaned up everything in less than a half hour.

Thank you Frank - and thank you Emerald Pacific for the great company experience!

Brian W.

03/09/2017 12:00:00 SA

I had Emerald Pacific re-wire a bath remodel. They added a couple circuits, can lights, and a bath fan/heater. They did awesome work at a fair price and Frank and Chris are great guys. I will use them for any future electrical work without hesitation.

Matt F.

2/20/2016

What an awesome, professional group of guys. Chris was available to come out and give me an estimate on short notice, then showed up on the morning of the job with Mark and another guy whose name I didn't catch. All 3 were really professional and respectful. They gave suggestions and free advice for the whole house without trying to upsell me at all. I couldn't be happier with the job they did (install recessed ceiling lighting in 3 bedrooms, ceiling fan install, and moving a switch so it wasn't hidden behind the door + extras). They got it all done in one day and arranged to have an excellent dry wall guy come through to patch the holes that very same day. If I could give 6 stars I would. Thanks guys, cheers.

Bryan S.

10/20/2018

These guys are great. From talking to Chris on the phone to John, Sean and Frank who've come out - they have all been fantastic to work with. They are my go-to guys for electrical work in San Diego.

Mark S.

1/29/2013

I have used Chris on several occasions for a condominium rental I have in the Bay Park area. Chris is great: knows what he is doing, charges a fair price, and is always right on time.

I give him my highest recommendation.

Lynn S.

03/05/2016 12:00:00 SA

Great company! Quick response, honest evaluation of what I really needed done. Showed up as promised for appointment and did exactly what they said they would.

Great work. Super nice guys, fast, and clean. But most importantly, quality work.

Brandon C.

2/15/2017

I can build cabinets, I can do most repairs on my cars, but I really don't like to mess with the electricity in my home. I call a professional for that. However, I do know enough to understand when I'm getting ripped off and I have caught a few electricians do just that. But, not this company. They have been out to my home four or five times and they are completely honest and ethical. I don't even compare prices any more because I completely trust them, and trust is the most important thing!

Andrew K.

8/26/2015

these guys are top notch! i went through two other electrical companies while upgrading the lighting in my house. the work they did was top notch! they use great, quality materials and have great installations. they took the time to carefully run the wires to get them in places i thought would be impossible without cutting up my walls ( like the pervious companies did )

you wouldn't even know they came and left, they don't leave any evidence that construction went on in your home, even vacuumed my carpets!

Stina B.

5/30/2015

Chris came out to do an estimate at our house. He was so friendly, professional, and thorough. He gave us plenty of options for grounding options and he was not pushy about selling us or price. If we move forward with our remodel and upgrades we will definitely call Chris!

Aj P.

4/24/2015

Chris just finished up a quick diagnose and fix at my house. Straight forward, polite, clean work, honest, professional work. All at a reasonable price. Thumbs Up!

Kim C.

3/13/2018

Very impressed - Chris was so helpful and he knew his stuff. He diagnosed a very troubling issue that had been created by another electrician and was abad situation! He was able to not only correct it quickly but check entire set up for me to be sure all was OK and safe. Very honest, fair prices, and really knows his trade also most helpful explaining it all to me. I highly recommend and will use him in the future.

Clint L.

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.

Frank V.

10/09/2014 12:00:00 SA

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.

Heather M.

09/08/2017 12:00:00 SA

John installed three chandeliers today. In the past, Frank and Chris installed many other chandeliers and fixed other electrical issues. We had a few questions in the evening and they immediately called back and brainstormed solutions. This company has excellent customer service and very professional. We highly recommend this company for any electrical work.

victor k.

8/29/2017

We needed help fixing our outdoor lighting in front of the house. Something was not working right and it took a couple of visits to figure out the problem. But they stuck with it until the problem was solved. Their commitment to get the job done right makes it easy to give them a 5 start review. Next time you need some electric job done, they are the ones I would recommend to call.

Carly S.

02/05/2018 12:00:00 SA

I have used Emerald Pacific Electric multiple times and have been SO impressed with them every time!! They are meticulous with their work and it is much appreciated. Not to mention they are so prompt with their response times and are incredibly professional. This is such a nice change when dealing with the typical, impossible to get a hold of people in the home improvement/contracting world. I can't recommend them enough!! You will not be disappointed!!

Gareth G.

7/27/2014

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.

Amber B.

Finally found an electrician I can trust! Frank thoroughly investigated the problem, explained all the findings to me, and quickly fixed the problem. He did a great job! I highly recommended this company.

Corinna H.

01/08/2018 12:00:00 SA

We recently hired Emerald Pacific Electric to do some electrical upgrades to our townhouse. What started out small got big quickly when we saw what they could do! Changing out old light fixtures with new LED units and new wall outlets throughout. They were great! From the initial estimate visit to the final sign-off, they were highly skilled, dependable, and on-time. A truly flawless job by Chris, Frank, John and Jack! Not only would we use them again, we recommend them with the highest level of enthusiasm. They are also a great bunch of guys!

Jared C.

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 actually made the drive out to my place (at his own urging; not my request); and repaired two lamps (an ornamental desk lamp, and a mica stand up lamp). Chris came up with solutions that were ingenuous, imaginative and inspired - plus on a personal level, Chris was a real pleasure to make the acquaintance of. I only take time out to write on Yelp when an enterprise either does a spectacularly awful job on something -or- when they do a phenomenally wonderful job on the task(s) at hand. Well, Chris at Emerald Pacific Electric was fantastic, and clearly falls into the latter category. I *strongly* recommend Emerald Pacific Electric (and specifically Chris) - if you live in San Diego County and need any work done electrically --- call these guys, and you'll be happy you did. There's a (very good) reason (or lots of them) why they keep getting 5 star ratings from everybody!!!

WOW same day service, fixed all of our problems and very reasonable. I would highly recommend Emerald Electric best contractor I've found so far in San Diego.
We are in Arizona and needed a rental property taken care of in a hurry and
Emerald came through for us, if you need quality reliable service this is the company
to use!

I highly recommend Emerald Pacific Electric. Their professionalism and knowledge is outstanding. Honest, reliable , efficient, and very fair pricing. Chris was great getting back to me and scheduling my appointment and Mark arrived right on time and very thorough.

I am very happy with the excellent service provided to us by Frank of Emerald Pacific Electric. He was not only knowledgeable, but also educated me on the problems that had resulted in our electrical issues. Frank is a very professional and pleasant gentleman. At my request, he checked all our electric system, to make sure our home was safe. His quote was very reasonable. I have already recommended him to all my family, friends and colleagues.

Chris & Mark did a great job. We had a particularly difficult repair issue and they took the time to figure out the best solution and resolve it to our satisfaction.
Hopefully I won't have to use them again, but I wouldn't hesitate to call them if I had to.
Highly recommend them.

These guys were excellent to work with. They showed up promptly, paid close attention to detail, and were reasonably priced. I had several dimmers installed, re-wiring of electrical outlets, and ceiling fans had to be re-installed properly. Highly recommend.

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.

Fabulous experience. We have had Emerald out a few times now (two smaller projects as well as a huge job that required rewiring our entire home). Couldn't be more satisfied as the entire team is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, professional, respectful, clean, and timely. Really, what more can you ask for?

Mark and Frank were so wonderful we would highly recommend using them. We bought our first house last year and they were right there willing to give us their expert opinion on the homes electrical system. It is an old house and we knew there was upgrading to be done. They were extremely professional, on time, and took the time to explain exactly what was going on. When they completed the work for the day they always cleaned up after themselves and left it spic and span. We had to have an entire new electrical panel installed and Mark was great with scheduling the work with the city permits and inspections. We will 100% plan on using them again in the future for some new projects we have been wanting to do. Thank you Emerald Pacific!

This an A+ business. From my initial contact with Chris to the work that Frank and Paul did on my home and the follow-up visit because Frank had to put in a dimmer switch which turned out to be more work than anticipated. Frank is a great guy and accommodating. He was professional at all times. What stood out the most with my whole interaction with Frank was his attitude when the dimmer switch became more work than anticipated. He had a very positive attitude and did not leave until the job was done right and to my satisfaction. He was respectful of my time knowing that I had a party going on in a few hours. He got the job done quickly and left his work area clean!!! If you need any electrical work done contact these guys and get it done right the first time. I will definitely contact them again to get more work done. Thanks Frank and company!!!

I highly recommend Emerald Pacific Electric without reservation. I met Mark and Chris at a Home Depot while cruising for various home improvement stuff. Mark was kind enough to help me figure out which switches I needed for my specific issue. I got his card and emailed later that night and asked for a quote for various projects, he promptly responded with a very reasonable quote. I have a lot of experience hiring contractors as we did a whole house remodel several years back. I've had quotes from contractors that jack up the price once I tell them I live in La Jolla. Once I received his quote I knew I didn't have to get a competitive bid.

They were on time, professional and did work ranging from installing a fancy Euro chandelier to changing a few three way light switches. I was going to change light switches myself as I normally do but of all the home improvement projects, the ones dealing with electricity are ones that I most worry about so I just added them to the list. The chandelier installation went perfectly as did everything else.

These guys are spectacular. I highly recommend them and without a doubt would hire them again. I was nervous about hiring them at first because they only had one review here on yelp and I didn't know anything about them. I needed a repair in the evening and I was amazed when I called and they answered the phone and came down to help me! I was even more amazed with their service. They were courteous, honest, thorough, and extremely knowledgeable about their craft. They not only fixed the problem but took care of other issues that could have caused problems in the future - all at a very reasonable price. Not only that they are very nice people - and they cleaned up when they were done. My home was impeccably clean.

Great service. Great people.

These guys are great. They have done work for me on 3 occasions and each time was a pleasure. The first time was when all of my electricity had gone out. A prior electrician told me I would need to re-wire the entire house - I was bracing myself for a few thousand dollars of repairs. Mark and Chris fixed it free of charge. Apparently the line coming into my house had a bad connection it took 15 minutes. They have also replaced my pool light with GFI, installed 220, and new wiring for a new laundry area. The final cost has always been original estimated cost, they show up when they say they will, work quickly and leave the work space tidy. I highly recommend Mark and Chris.

Love these guys! Spoke with Chris about an issue with my bathroom outlets not working from day one of owning my condo. Previous owner said she never had an issue with it...of course, not the truth. Frank came out to troubleshoot the problem and was very upfront and honest regarding the cost. Joseph, also very friendly and professional, finished up the job, same day, and they had to rewire because when the previous owner had a bathroom remodel done, they apparently had cut some wires that caused no power to the bathroom outlets. It was a little more than what I had expected, but Frank was nice enough to work with me on that, giving me a YELP discount, and splitting the payment because my payday wasn't until the following week. I would hire these guys again in a heartbeat. Very honest, very professional, very friendly. I felt the price was fair and the job was done right.

Very pleased with the work done by Chris & Kevin, and the price they charged. Chris spent an hour estimating the job and checking out my existing electrical system to see what it could handle before I upgraded my entertainment center, and then promptly, properly, and efficiently performed the required work, along with a few electrical odds and ends that needed to be done around the house. He communicated reliably prior to landing the job, showed up on time both times and even took it upon himself to buy, and then return, an item that we thought would work in one of my applications but didn't. After all was said and done, I had no problem tipping him a bit, and am planning to call him again for my next round of electrical projects. Highest recommendation and satisfaction for a job well done!

Found Emerald Pacific Electric on Yelp and they had great reviews, so I gave them a try. They where on time, did good work and where honest. Very knowledgeable and gave us some tips for future work that needs to be done. We have an old house so nothing is straightforward, but they were able to take care of the problem the correct way. I will be using them for sure in the future. I highly recommend Emerald Pacific Electric.

Chris was an honest straight ace of a guy with us. We owned a condo in La Jolla until 2014. There was an issue with microwave being on a shared circuit with half the rooms in the condo causing the breaker to trip on use. The other electricians (2 other quotes) that we contacted wanted around $1200 dollars to fix the problem. Chris found another way, and it only cost us $200 with limited wall cutting compared to the other guys. Realize, he may not be able to do this on every job. The other guys just wanted big money!! Chris took the time to explore all the options, not just milk us for cash. This tells you what a fair and honest guy he is. I only wish I could find someone like him where I live now! I hope you are doing well Chris! Sorry for the year late review!!

Called this morning needing someone to repair some non-working fluorescent lights at my elderly mom's kitchen and bath (I don't live in SD and having to arrange this from afar..). Chris said they'd be there in the afternoon and they were. Mom was thrilled with the service (fixed both set of lights) and professionalism. And, the price was more than fair for service performed and short notice.

I can't have mom (an 83yr old widow) waiting around for someone to show up only to give a crazy estimate to scare an old lady (yes, we've had it happen with other trades).. I appreciate Emerald's responsiveness and understanding of my situation. They were courteous, respectiveful, and fair. Yes, we'll definitely use them again when the need arises.

I forgot if it was Chris or Mark who came over, but he was great. He drove a big red truck, that is all I remember. He spent about 2 or 3 hours diagnosing my problem and only charged me the minimum price! He even fixed my heating unit!! I would definitely recommend this company to anyone.

Leslie S.

03/05/2013 12:00:00 SA

I actually found this company on yelp and they have been great. I have a 100 year old house -- they arrived on time, did a great job and were very reasonable priced. I also used them for a rental unit--same good work. Appreciated that they did not try to over-sell me.

I had contacted other electricians for my old house and because of its quirks none of them took the time that Emerald did to get things in order...highly recommend.

We found Emerald Pacific Electric through Yelp. We just had our electrical work done today and we are so pleased. Mark and Frank were wonderful to work with and very professional. We highly recommend Emerald Pacific Electric.

Chris did a great job w/ my renters who reported lights and electric plugs not working in front half of home. He was on time, professional and was able to determine and prompty repair the issue at a good price. I will definitely call him again when an electrical issue arises.

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!

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.

Outstanding service, professional, reliable, and skilled! I've called Emerald Electric to my home for repairs twice now. The first time was after 6:00 pm on Sunday. Chris was immediately responsive on both occasions, arrived when he said he would, and did an excellent job both times.

These guys are awesome! I needed a small wiring repair. I called in the morning and squeezed me in for later that day. Chris and Mark were polite and professional. They left the work area spotless and charged a very reasonable fee. I will use them again in the future and definitely recommend them.

I was looking for a good electrician and found these guys on yelp. After dealing with 2 other electricians who were unprofessional and both tried to scare me, I found these great guys. They were honest, timely, clean, friendly, professional. They did exactly what they told me they would do in exactly the time they said it would take. I usually try to find good contractors thru word of mouth but this time I had to rely on yelp and I am very happy with who I found. That is why I a writing this review! To help out anyone else looking for good electricians! If you need electrical work, look no further. Call Emerald Pacific Electric and you won't be disappointed! I will definitely be using them again if I ever need more electrical work!

Chris is the best! He has helped me out at my small business 3-4 times, he is always prompt, professional and charges a very fair price! We call with crazy stuff - my girls are always breaking switches :), he shows up quickly and gets their tools back them asap! He picked up something yesterday (Fri) afternoon and had it back to me by 3:30 Sat because they needed it this weekend! i highly recommend and appreciate Chris and Emerald Pacific Electric!

Chris really cares about customer service which seems to be rare with businesses nowadays. I chose this company based on the positive reviews that I had read beforehand. I needed to find a new electrician and was unsure who to contact. I called and scheduled an appointment for some minimal work that I needed done. I paid what was charged and was given a price before work started. Later on I wanted an explanation regarding the pricing and decided to contact Chris via email. He was prompt with his reply and he wanted to be sure that I was happy with the pricing as it related to the work. He worked with me regarding the pricing of some other jobs that I needed to be done. I rescheduled for more work and he went out of his way to give great customer service. Justin did an excellent job and was on time each time and was knowledgeable and polite. I would recommend them for any electrical work that you need to be done.

Chris and Mark were just great! They worked hard on installing my electric double oven. The plug in my house was in the wrong place and they had to move it. They were determined to figure out what they needed to do and get it done. They crawled into the attic, climbed into the oven space and did a terrific job. They did just a good job in fact that I called them back a few weeks later to replace all the can lights in my family room. Again they were efficient, neat and completed the job with great skill and knowledge. I highly recommend them for any electrical job you need done!

Very pleased with Emerald Pacific. I need a couple hard to wire outlets replaced in my home. Chris was enthusiastic, quick, and pleasant to have working in my home. Prices were very reasonable. They are a small family business who seem to take great pride in their work. I would recommend them and I'll call them again if I have any more electrical service needs at home.

Chris was great! He returned my call on a Saturday afternoon and scheduled to do the work the work on Monday. I really appreciate that he was able to do the work so quickly and while I was in town. He installed two dedicated circuits from the panel to two bathrooms so my tenant could use her blow dryer without tripping the circuit. I definitely recommend him and will use him again.
