Rory Higgins Electric

Quoted a few other companies. Rory was GREAT. Fast reply and good communication throughout. Fixed the issue thoroughly and efficiently - what else could I possibly ask for?

Rory was able to fit us into his schedule very quickly. He communicated every step of the way. He was extremely professional. Rory found our electrical problem, repaired it and provided recommendations for the future. We highly recommend Rory and will definitely use him again.

I called Rory for an estimate on doing some electrical work on my house. He arrived on time, he was professional and he completed the work the same day that he came to my house. I had gotten quotes from other competitors in Rancho Bernardo/Poway area and had gotten a quote for almost DOUBLE the price.

Rory didn't price gouge me and his work product was fantastic. I've found my go to electrician in Rancho Bernardo.

Thanks again for taking care of our home, Rory!!

I am an engineer and am no stranger to electricity/electronics, but am a stranger to home wiring. I spent a day trying to find the problem and isolated it down to one section of the wiring but I couldn't find the root problem. I explained it to Rory and he had it figured out in 5 minutes, maybe less. He fixed it in another 10 minutes or so.

Rory is very professional, friendly, and competent.

I do have one suggestion for him: he should mention on his website that he doesn't check his email regularly and much prefers to communicate by text.

Rory was able to come out quickly to fix an improperly mounted 220v outlet for our stove. He had great communication, gave us an up-front estimate on the repair cost which he met, couldn't be happier.

Rory replaced some electric patio heater elements for us. He was very responsive in setting up the appointment, and he was very professional in getting the job done well and in a timely manner. I will contact him again for future jobs.

Rory was awesome, friendly and all around professional. Really appreciated his work and how fast and easy it was. We won't be going to anyone else!

After pouring through several Yelp reviews and selecting those that are close to where I live given gas prices, I selected Rory to do the work. It is so hard to find a reliable electrician and I am so glad I chose him. Rory came in to fix an outdoor light that was going on and off as well as help me label my electrical panel correctly. He is low key and is very knowledgeable. He fixed my light without much fuss and we both worked on the panel. It is such a relief to have it finally labeled right. Previous contractors who I hired before I moved in labeled things in a haphazard fashion that was no good to anyone. I would definitely recommend Rory if you need any electrical work done! I will definitely work with him again when I redo my lights and fans.

Everyone Deserves a Reliable Electrician

Rory Higgins is that reliable electrician. If I could only hire veterans, then I would! I have the highest respect for the veterans. They are patriots, honest, disciplined & reliable. Rory learned everything he knows in the Air Force where he was working on sensitive projects. Rory has been my electrician for a long time. He has had his business for 4 decades. He knows what the hell he is doing! He is not the type of contractor who puts Shiite on Shingles & does a Tijuana Style of patch job! He is detail oriented, trouble shooter & reasonable in cost.

This time around, I needed him to replace a sensor motion detector outdoor double light in the driveway, install a new double floodlight in the patio, create a new outdoor metal pipeline covered line to the floodlight, create a GFCI outdoor outlet & line to the BBQ island & outdoor refrigerator, create a separate outdoor GFCI outlet, switch & line to the outdoor lights in the patio (separate the lines to distribute the weight), uninstall an old rusted hanging outdoor light in the patio & cap, cup & cover the wires, also replace a couple of old outlets in my office. So, I waited for all of these electrical jobs to pileup & then I called him to schedule me.

Rory is a decent, softspoken good man. Right away he scheduled me as soon as he could which was pretty fast. He showed up in the morning & tackled all of these tasks, one by one until afternoon when he was done.

In the 90 Degree heat, I sat outside & watched him work for hours when I could easily go inside & allow him to be alone. He was already heat exhausted from his past 2 jobs in prior days. It was so hot that he used 2 fans to not overheat!

I observe my contractors for a few reasons:

I. To make sure they do not screw up my house.

II. To learn something from them.

III. To evaluate their work, so I can write accurate, informative reviews.

I hire a lot of contractors & I try to do my research, background check, BBB, licensing, consumer report & read reviews before hiring them, so primarily I do not end up with a lemon or worse, a contractor from hell! In addition, I do my contractor investigations, so you don't have to do it; therefore, when you read my reviews, you can hire the reliable contractors with a peace of mind.

What I notice about Rory is that:

A) He uses top notch material
He uses proper metal pipeline for outdoor & even indoor (read my last review when he done my garage), metal casing & reliable parts.

B) Right away he trouble-shoots the problem
Due to experience, he precisely or approximately pinpoints the problem right away. There was a short in my patio. Sometimes when it rained, the lights & the refrigerator in the island popped out & I had to reset the GFCI outlet in the kitchen where they were connected to, so they would pop back in & work after the rain. Rory took care of that issue by separating the lights & island lines & getting both of them off of the kitchen GFCI; however, as soon as he looked at the situation, he made a logical guess that the old rusted hanging outdoor light is more likely the root cause of the problem, so I told him to eliminate it. He took it off, trashed it & capped the wires & close cupped it.

C) He is detail oriented
Rory works fast but he takes his time to do a thorough job. Every single task which he does is done right. For instance, the way that he bends the pipe covers, connects the joints, silicones the connections, & comes up with ideas to secure the circuits.

D) He is honest
Rory always states that he does the job right, the first time, so he can go home with a clear conscience. He doesn't cut corners, makes sure the job is done right the first time & he primarily gives you an approximate estimate of the cost.

Rory done the job right, done it fast & gave me a special discount.

I usually come up with the best contractors in each field. I know Rory very well. He does super work with ethics & reasonable prices. He is a knowledgeable electrician with work ethics. He surely passed my perfectionist taste & test, many times over. Hiring him will not be regretful. Rory Higgins knows his job well.
