Riel Electric
Company Overview
For over 20 years, Riel Electric has been passionate about brightening my clients' environments. Years ago, I worked as a handyman, relishing the role of being my clients' trusted expert. While developing my expertise, I vowed to keep that personal connection with my clients. I attribute my success to my technical abilities and my pleasant interactions, which have led to a thriving referral-based business. Being detail-oriented, I find fulfillment in completing tasks to a high standard. I work quickly, maintain a tidy workspace, and ensure your project is completed efficiently without delays. With no assistants, you can trust that your project is in the hands of a 20-year veteran in the field. While I sometimes need to turn down work to keep my timeline intact, you may be amazed at what I can accomplish solo, so don’t hesitate to inquire. There are plenty of other firms eager to secure big jobs that can last them several weeks. I specialize in diagnosing issues in both residential and commercial electrical systems, lighting installations and remodels, upgrades for switches, outlets, and bells, electric vehicle chargers, spa disconnects, and much more. I would be happy to visit your site, assess your project, and see if I can be the right fit for you.

Recommended Customer Reviews

Dan is fantastic! Friendly and knowledgeable. Dan installed 4 ceiling fans for me, he did a great, clean job and price was very reasonable. I have already recommended him to several friends! Thanks Dan!

I had Dan install a car charger and what seemed like a straightforward project quickly became much more involved. I appreciated Dan's thoroughness, knowledge and attention to detail. He did a great job on this project and would reach out to him again on another project, no problem. He is honest, reliable and knowledgeable!

Dan is awesome! We had a few things needing fixing including a pendant light replaced, porch light, and some under counter lighting that had long since been out of service. Dan was super quick with responding and flexible with scheduling, which helped me as I am teacher and getting time off is difficult. He asked for some photos beforehand and came prepared with all the items needed to do the repairs. He was super friendly, efficient and great at communicating. He had a tricky situation that he worked hard on for quite a while (old under counter lighting) and solved the problem. He even checked our electrical panel at the last moment. We are happy to have found a local electrician that we can trust. His fees were affordable and fair. I have already recommended him to a friend. Thank you, Dan!

I've regularly used Riel Electric as a mentor/consultant for my handyman business. The owner Dan Riel is a trustworthy professional with good attention to detail and quality. I would advise anyone who is considering hiring a contractor to hire Riel Electric as I can vouch for his work ethic, honesty and workmanship.

Daniel does wonderful work and he goes above and beyond. He is a attentive, detailed and reliable. I've use many different electricians and he is by far the BEST!!

Total professional, did fantastic work quickly. I brought out four electricians to evaluate my problem and Dan had the most reasonable and cost effective solution.

I'm glad I gave Dan Riel a chance. When I saw he only had one Yelp review, I was going to pass him by. But I took the time to look at his write-up in the ""About the Business"" section and I'm glad it did. Something caught my eye. After getting a couple of other quotes, I chose Dan. I found him professional, personable and honest. I asked him to install a 50 amp circuit for an EV charger. He worked with me on placement and scoped out the details of the circuit breaker, parts, etc. His work was meticulous and I could see he took pride in doing it right. It reminded me of Steve Jobs, who insisted the inside of a product must be as good as the outside, even if no one would ever see it. That's the way Dan did the install. I asked him why he had only one review and he said he stopped asking people because Yelp's algorithm would either not post them or delete them after a short period of time. That says a lot about Dan - he was keyed to the impact to his customers rather than the benefit he might accrue. Well, I hope you all get to see this - Dan is one of the good ones and I highly recommend him.

I hired Riel Electric to install a 220 circuit for a new electric hot water heater. Daniel communicated very well, was on time, provided a free, accurate, & competitive estimate on site, and was very professional & friendly, He replaced an existing 50A breaker with the required 30A breaker, ran wire behind drywall, and installed a junction box in the proper location. Replacement & repair of the drywall was included in his estimate - - and it's very good dry wall repair. He left everything as he found it - clean. I will definitely use him again in the future.

We have had Dan as our Electrician since almost three years and will continue to use his services, hopefully for years to come.
He installed recessed lighting, upgraded sub and main panels, brought power to areas where there was previous none, installed smart switches, EV plug, etc.
Dan is very thorough, quality and detail oriented. I've worked in my professional environment with many electricians and Dan is definitely amongst the best. He is polite, friendly, cordial and foremost meticulous in all he does. He is an excellent communicator, evident from his messages as to his approximate time of arrival. He is reasonably priced and I have recommended Dan to three friends who have all been very happy with his performance and hence will continue to recommend him.
Dan was referred to us by a neighbor who I am grateful to.
We can highly recommend Dan for he has the gift of being quality oriented with a very pleasant character.
