Power kept tripping to the master bedroom. Ended up being a nail through a wire in the wall from when previous owners hung shelves. Found it with their wire tracer. Smart troubleshooting.

Found them during an emergency and kept them for everything since. The emergency work was stellar but what really impressed me was how they handled the scheduled follow-up work afterward.
Response from RT Electric
Thank you for being such a loyal customer! Your continued support means the world to our team.

They handled a tricky situation that two other companies said they could not fix. Not only did they fix it but they did it for less than the other quotes. Problem solvers.

Thanks for the great feedback! We are always working to earn that fifth star and appreciate you pointing us in the right direction.

I have now referred them to eight people. Seven have become regular customers. That conversion rate tells you everything about the quality of their work.
Laura A.
They showed up on time, diagnosed the issue quickly, and had everything fixed within a couple hours. Upfront about pricing with no surprise charges. This is how it should be done.
Response from RT Electric
We appreciate the review! Always looking to improve and your input helps.
Terrence J.
This was our second project with them and they nailed it again. Consistent quality, no games with pricing, and they clean up after themselves. That third point alone puts them above most.
Kathryn B.
Referred by a coworker who had a great experience. Can confirm — RT Electric does quality work at a fair price. They were honest about what needed to be done and did not try to upsell me on things I did not need.
