RA Electric

I can't say enough good things about Ricky / RA Electric. If you are here on Yelp wondering who to hire - you should stop now and just get in touch with Ricky.

I actually happened to see a recommendation for Ricky on on another neighborhood site and I decided to reach out. He responded to me that evening and we set up a time for him to come over to take a look at the job needs. From there, I got onto his calendar, and now I am sitting here with the jobs done - all within less than a week.

In addition to being very responsive and a great communicator, Ricky arrived on time, was wearing a mask, and he was fantastic and patient with our dog who barked up a storm when she wanted to meet him. He was respectful of our home and safety (he closed the garage door religiously when he wasn't present in the garage as I had requested) and he left the work area very clean. He also sent some pictures of the work he did in case we had questions later. Last but not least, his rate is very reasonable. We will definitely hire him again for our future needs and we will recommend him to our friends and neighbors!

Ricky was fantastic -
* quick response to my call and was able to schedule me same day (maybe not always possible but in this really needed so really appreciated)
* notified me that he was a bit behind so I knew what was going on in terms of arrival
* super courteous, wore mask and gloves, asked about shoes off or on
* VERY important - work done well and situation handled!!!
* also took at a problem lamp for me and educated me about lamp issues.

All in all - just outstanding - highly recommend!

Service done well - with courtesty and kindness - that's doing the job right!

I hired Ricky for a lighting fixture repair at a rental property. Ricky showed up on time and put in an LED solution that is long lasting and cost efficient for me as a landlord. I really appreciated his email communication with me and the tenants. He takes venmo as payment which is another plus. I will be asking him to handle my future jobs!

Ricky is great! We worked with him on our kitchen remodel, where he installed new, grounded outlets for all our appliances. Very responsive, listens to what you want, and provides options.

Ricky is the best. He is honest and only charges for the time he works. He's a very thorough electrician and I was very impressed by with the recessed lighting and outlets he installed. I was also very happy with the work he did to hook my generator into the main electrical panel in my house. I've referred him to all my friends. He's got a great personality and does very good work at a reasonable fair price. I highly recommend him.

Ricky's great! I have a car lift (230 volt 25 Amp) and an medium duty industrial firing kiln (240v 36-60A) that I had him install. My current panel was already fully loaded and wired for solar with a complicated battery back up so I didn't want that altered. luckily, the main switch panel from the street to the house has 2 drop outs, one for the main subpanel and one for a potential second. The second was already being used for my A/C and at his suggestion, we swapped that breaker for a larger one to act as a breaker for a new breaker subpanel.

Then he moved my AC breaker up to the new subpanel, wired the lift to a disconnect on a 120v20A/240v30A quad breaker (neat), wired the kiln to a 240v60A breaker, and even wired up my lift's accessory air/outlet box to the existing garage lights breaker on the old subpanel as a bonus. Another bonus was that I originally had wanted the kiln on a plugable washer/dryer type outlet, but when he saw the poor quality of the plug connection kits across what was available at the time, he immediately pivoted to hardline bolt-and-wire connections in a grounded electrical box (but asked my permission first, which was great, since I've had others who will do the extra work and not tell me until it's finished which just sucks because I might have had a different alternate idea). Anyway, I think it's much more durable this way. It might be more difficult to disconnect it but that's still possible to do, and it's probably a good thing to avoid accidental disconnects during long duration use and plug failures which would start a fire.

Pretty sweet deal, and he did an excellent job testing the connections and informing me of their operating amperage so we could be certain that having the devices on simultaneously wouldn't trip any of the breakers. I made sure to get a couple different bids from other electricians and while one was slightly less, most were much more. Ultimately, I chose him for his thoroughness in laying out a safe and sensible statement of work, a very competitive bid/estimate price, and especially for his top-notch communication skill, promptness, aimable customer service and flexible professionalism.

Would definitely recommend him for any electrical job, and for on-the-fly advice during a project.

I requested a quote via Yelp to repair a malfunctioning light fixture in my bathroom, and Ricky got back to me that day and was even able to come by that afternoon. He quickly diagnosed the problem as a faulty wall switch and replaced it without issue. He was also a pleasure to deal with on the phone and in person, and I'll definitely look to him to handle any future electrical work I have.

Wonderful experience hiring Ricky to create lighting throughout my condo. He is very easy to communicate with and kept me up-to-date on installation developments throughout the project. He covered a range of electrical needs, from creating new outlets to installing a breath of lighting (recessed lights, pendant fixtures, track fixtures, and dimmers). He is very courteous and respectful and was always on time. He has a command over his craft. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him for future projects or simply reach out to him for electrical advice.

We had to upgrade or fix our outlets and other fixtures several times at the restaurant I own and these guys have always been readily available to help and fix everything in a timely manner which Is always greatly appreciated especially when you run a business that is open everyday. Also I much appreciate the fact that they've always advised the best solution without trying to take advantage of the business by overcharging us as we've experienced so many times in the industry. They're just being professional as well as personal. Thank you guys!

I was having a problem so requested a quote via Yelp and Ricky got back to me SUPER quickly. He suspected he might be able to help me through just a phone call and proceeded to fix my issue right away, and was so nice about it. Thanks so much Ricky, you'll definitely be my first choice in any electrical snafu in the future!
