Great service, excellent quality, helpful, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Met the owner and was willing to work with my difficult schedule. Came right out and did a stellar job.

Richard Olinger and his team are very professional in every aspect. We were very impressed with the overhead lighting they installed. They also repaired front porch lights, installed new exhaust vents in the laundry and bathroom and added a new electrical outlet, all for a reasonable price.

Great customer service and easy to work with. He was very professional and practiced safety protocols using booties and cleaning up for himself.

Called Richard based on these Yelp reviews and glad I did. I explained my problem and he was actually able to diagnose the issue on the phone which turned out to be something I could easily fix myself. His honesty and willingness to give me a quick hand over the phone was incredibly appreciated. I can tell just by chatting with him briefly that he cares about his customers and loves what he does. I will 100% use and recommend him for all of my electrical needs going forward.

Thanks again for the help Rich!

Rick is great! He responded quickly to schedule the installation of our 4 fans.
He is reasonably priced and an expert at what he does. He is a super nice guy as well. His work was top notch and was very clean. Follows all Covid protocols as well. I highly recommend him for all of your electrical needs!

Our Electrical Panel fuses were popping. We decided, since our home is a little old, to have all new Panel with 200 AMP and Solar ready installed. Richard gave us a great quote and took care of every detail one must cover to have such work done on a home. Scheduling City and SDGE and kept us informed and on schedule. He was very reliable and his super crew were just the best ever! I could not tell they had been here other than the new panel on the wall! Very COVID-19 and very considerate as well. We would give them a 10 rating if possible. Honest and very dependable! Everything in writing! We will call them every time we need work done in the future as well. Alex B.

Richard did a great job discovering, diagnosing and fixing a wiring issue I had. He came highly recommended, did a great job at a good price, and I will definitely use his services if needed in the future! I recommend his company to anyone who needs great quality electrical work.

if i could get them more than 5 stars i would!!! Absolutely amazing customer service from the beginning to the very end. i called around asking for several quotes And Richard was the ONLY one that was actually friendly and explained everything to me step by step. He also broke everything down cost wise. Which I appreciate because the other companies just came up with a random price but when i asked for a breakdown they couldn't give me that. I will never use anyone else for my electrical work and i will refer everyone who needs work done to you!! Thank you so much Richard!!

Rick and his team have come to my home on two occasions. I called him the first time because he was highly recommended on Next Door. He installed a ceiling fan and some vanity lights in addition to replacing broken light switches and a few other smaller jobs around my home. I was very pleasantly surprised at how reasonably priced his work was, and I was also very appreciative at how clean and tidy he left everything! I have had lots of contracting work/repairs done around my home over the years where I have had some cleaning up to do afterwards, so I appreciated very much how picked up Rick left everything.

The second time I had Rick come out to replace smoke detectors and fix a fuse/circuit that kept failing. I also had him remove a broken bulb in one of my ceiling fans that I could not get out on my own. Not only did he get the broken metal and glass out of the socket in the fan, but he replaced it with a new bulb. As with the first time Rick & his crew came out, they were so neat and tidy, as well as always being so professional & polite, and arriving when they say they will.

I made a third appointment with Rick a few months ago but have had to reschedule it twice....and just rescheduled again. Rick has been so nice and understanding about it and has given me a new date right away. One thing in particular I have noticed with Rick is that he has always answered when I call. If I did need to leave a message, I know he would call back as soon as possible. I will definitely always use and recommend Rick for any electric needs I have.

My wife and I own a home in Vista and we just had a panel upgrade, can lights installed and some problem solving on some 3 and 4 way switches. Richard Olinger and his crew did excellent work. They even provided a generator for us to use while the power was turned off. They followed mask protocol. Their work was meticulous. They cleaned up after themselves and even wiped down the surfaces. They were punctual and dependable. He communicated and answered calls and texts promptly. I would definitely recommend Richard Olinger for any electrical work that you need done. We were very pleased with the end product and will call him again if the need arises.
