We were incredibly satisfied from start to finish working with Rick and his team.

Communication was prompt and professional. He let us know when we could expect to hear back from him initially, when to expect a quote, and when we could expect service to be done. He delivered on all timelines he set.

He emailed a quote so that we could review it and ask any questions.

His crew was experienced, respectful, and diligent. The guys were in and out the house many times throughout the day and were conscientious in closing the door behind them to not let our dogs slip out.

Payment was quick and easy, done through Quickbooks.

Would not hesitate to HIGHLY recommend Rick for electrical needs.

Had an emergency electrical issue that came up over the weekend. A technician arrived on Monday, troubleshot the issue and fixed several outlets and a fuse panel repair. Overall quick service at a competitive rate. Technician was very friendly. I plan to use them again for any future business.

Our experience with Rick was great. On time, reliable, efficient, honest, well spoken, and got the job done. A small, but perplexing issue in our kitchen was quickly resolved by Rick. Would highly recommend!

A number of our electric outlets in our kitchen stopped working. They had someone out the next morning, discovered the problem and corrected it. Their electrician was knowledgeable and courteous and he had the right parts available.

My first time working with Richard and it won't be the last! Our daughters bedroom had light flickering. He was able to come out the next day to fix an issue even with some of his team out sick. He was able to replace the failed breaker and thoroughly check the others to make sure everything was working correctly before leaving.

Can I say enough good things about Richard Olinger and his business!!??? The list goes on and on. Every time I interact with Rick or his crew, I am just beyond satisfied and relieved to know that I am working with HONEST professionals who do top QUALITY work for a REASONABLE price. I can't believe I lucked out finding this business.

Here's my long story. I had to do an electrical rewire and panel upgrade for my small house (650 sq ft) this past winter. It was around the holidays and we were in a bit of a time crunch, so I passed over Olinger to go with someone else (business shall not be named) who seemed like they were ready to get the work done ASAP (Olinger was booked up for a while at that point--makes sense, since they do great work). Going with that other business was a MISTAKE. The other contractor charged almost twice as much more than Olinger did for his first estimate, and then it was one excuse after another for getting the rewire completed. The final straw came when the ""other guy"" demanded an extra $4k for the new panel (parts ONLY--not including the labor) because of ""supply chain issues"" even though we had the cost already laid out in our contract. I know some panels are hard to come by right now, but $4k for a 200amp service panel (just the part--not the labor, mind you) seemed suspicious to me. On top of all that, the ""other guy"" did sloppy work. It was a tough decision but I had to terminate that contract. This all happened about 2 weeks before we had to move--we were patching all the drywall holes ourselves. We needed help.

Que Olinger Electric, who came in and was immediately able to pick up the ""other guy's"" work where he left off and get it done QUICKLY! They were even able to give us temporary power in the house, which helped SO much with the remodel (being able to plug in our batteries for tools, etc.). The ""other guy"" had us running an extension cord from outside. It was like night and day. Olinger's team was able to squeeze us in their schedule last minute so that our electrical was ready for our move in. It was so refreshing to have a contractor that understood our tight deadline and came when they said they would. Olinger and the other leads electricians treat the helpers/apprentices with RESPECT (unlike the ""other guy"" who was downright abusive to his helper constantly). The crew was super friendly. The receptionist for Olinger was a great communicator. They didn't leave garbage all over our yard. Their prices were so reasonable! AND on top of all that, their work was excellent!!!

As long as they are in business, I will be working with them for my electrical needs and recommending them to friends and family. Thank you Olinger Electric!

Richard and team restored my faith in electricians. He did a $3k job for our house and we are very happy. Quick to provide quote, professional, efficient, and reasonable. Aesthetically it all looks great as well. We got 12 new canned lights installed, two dimmers, 2 GFCIS, 1 multi GFCI/ light switch, 4 flush-mount replacements, relocation of two wall lights and converted them into hanging pendants. They also re-wired a rats mess of old wires and replaced a breaker. Will definitely use them in the future!
