Recommended Customer Reviews

Called and talked to Rich and could tell immediately that he was a professional! We live in the Los Altos area and our kitchen lights were not working as needed and very dim. He reviewed the problem with us and provided us with alternatives. We then selected one and he immediately started work and was completely done within 3 hours! Wonderful brightness! They are the best@

I had a wonderful experience with Rich. Very knowledgeable and professional. I had a lengthy list of items that I needed and everything was done at a reasonable cost. GRT is definitely my go to.

Needed someone to identify what was wrong with my outlets and why some of them were not working. I found GRT online they were highly responsive as they responded to my problem right away coming out the next day ahead of schedule and took care of the problem in no time. Rich was upfront and honest and he still managed to give me a good deal. I could not be happier!

I made the mistake of trying to replace my main breaker panel on my own with the help of a co-worker....what a mistake! We ended up not being able to place the panel cover over the breaker box due to moving the buss bar in the box. Needless to say, it needed to be redone. I had just spoke to Rich at GRT the day before deciding to do the work myself, he was extremely responsive, however, I never returned his call or text. Well, here it is Friday night and I need an electrician, so first thing Saturday morning I called Rich and he answered his phone. I apologized for not returning his call and explained what happened. Rich said he had to go to coach is sons baseball game, but to send him pictures and he would contact me on Monday. Later Saturday night I received a text from Rich once again stating he would call me on Monday. Monday morning at exactly 8am he called, he arrived at my house 50 minutes later. Rich told me what needed to be done to meet code and I agreed. He called his apprentice and 4 hours later they were done and all at a very responsible price. Rich will get all my business in the future and I would not hesitate to recommend GRT.

Nice guy and knows his stuff. He came over to do an inspection. Seemed very straightforward and honest.

Rich upgraded my panel (200 amp) at the beginning of this year. He and his assistant were in and out in one day. He came back a week later for the city inspection, no problems. Everything is cleanly wired in the panel and all circuit breakers labeled. He did a great job at a fair price. He was also happy to help with advice on a sub panel I'm adding myself. I even texted him this week, about 9 months later, he replied quickly and stopped by the same day with a spare part! Great professional and personal service. Highly recommended.

Needed an outdoor electrical outlet for Christmas lights in front of our house. Asked around and was told GRT was who to go with. Rich was quick, professional and efficient. He was in and out in less then 40 mins. He also cleaned up the mess he made! Price was reasonable would definitely recommend his expertise to anyone!

Thanks Rich for your prompt and excellent service. We called this morning for an appointment for a security light installation and you actually answer the phone, wow! When we asked if we could schedule an appointment you immediately said you would come today, what a surprise You were right on time and did a great job for us. We highly recommend you as a knowledgeable and professional Electrician. We will be happy to recommend you to our neighbors and friends and thank you for your help today. Aggie & Gary S

Professional, reliable, creative. I'll definitely contact Rich again when I need an electrician.

I give GRT Electric and Rich my highest recommendation! Rich has done small jobs (garage rewire) and large jobs (new service panel and whole house rewire). All were done efficiently and professionally with highest quality workmanship! I have recommended Rich to my neighbors and their results have been equally as impressive. I wholeheartedly recommend Rich for electrical jobs, big and small! His workmanship is outstanding and he stands behind his work!
