RTR Electric
Company Overview
I manage remodeling of kitchens and bathrooms, problem-solving, and fixes. I put in modern appliances, televisions, can lights, and kitchen gadgets. I frequently perform service panel and auxiliary panel upgrades, safety lighting, and landscape lighting. I install communication lines, telecommunication lines, and network lines. I put in heaters during chilly months and ceiling fans and air conditioners when the temperature rises. I enjoy tackling bespoke jobs, so don’t hesitate to test my skills :)
As an electrician with more than a dozen years of expertise in both private and public sectors, I was unemployed when the local shop I worked for slowed down due to the declining economy. Motivated by circumstances, and to remain in a field I truly enjoy, I founded RTR Electric. Though I was skilled as an electrician, I was not as confident in business, and building this company has been a significant experience for me. Initially daunting has turned into a labor of love. Together with my wife, we are growing our business by providing reliable solutions at competitive costs and by going beyond our clients’ needs.
Ryan T. Rutherford (RTR) is a Licensed Electrical Contractor. After serving in the United States Marine Corps for 4 years, I began my electrical career in the year 1999 in Palm Springs, where I focused on the construction of new homes for bespoke residences. I moved up quickly to Foreman and later became a service technician with Cockrell Electric. After that, I moved to NorCal, where I continued in the construction sector before returning to the southern region of California, where I served as a lead supervisor for Jamar on several concurrent projects at once. In 2004, I went back to NorCal and joined I. Cannan Electric as Lead Electrician, where I enhanced my skills in house upgrades and commercial installations. I became my state license in May of 2009 and started RTR Electric. I value my work and pay close attention to detail. I strive to be on time, respectful, and motivated to fulfilling your power needs.
Our company is a locally owned and operated enterprise.

Recommended Customer Reviews

Excellent! I appreciated the response to my sudden electrical issue over the weekend. Monday morning he notified me when he was on the way. He fixed the issue, and explained what he needed to do to resolve it. Professional and timely, much appreciated when I was nervous about how in-depth the issue may have been.

Top notch work each and every-time. We have used Ryan's services multiple times over the years and will continue being his customer.

Ryan wired my entire house. He is so personable and a total expert in tje field. I highly recommend his company.

I have used Ryan a few times in the past for various electrical needs. Most electricians can do the job so there are other important factors for me. He explains exactly what is going on and what may need to be done, and he is fair. I trust him. I know the job will be done right and will look good. I can tell he takes pride in his work and the finished product. I have even called him on occasion when I am tackling an electrical project and he has taken the time to walk me through the details of it to make sure I don't electrocute myself, Ha! Can't beat that!

Ryan did an excellent job installing two ceiling fans for us.
He was pleasant, honest, and charged a very fair price.

Ryan is great! He's on time, professional, helpful and able to accomplish all your electrical needs.

RTR Electric has been a lifesaver! Ryan has been out for a couple of jobs over the past few years and we will definitely call him in the future if we have any electrical issues. Ryan is always on time, professional, efficient, clean and gets the job done and takes time to explain what the options are. RTR Electric will be my first call if I need an electrician.

I have used RTR Electric consistently for the last several years. Ryan is a solid worker and honest guy who takes care of his customers. Ryan is extremely efficient with his work, always on time, clean, polite and professional. I will never use anyone else.

My friend lost power to a portion of her house and was in a panic. We called Ryan and he offered to come by after a job he was doing, which was after hours. It turned out to only be a switch that needed flipping, and Ryan did not charge my friend. My friend is a single mom who definitely has no electrical knowledge, and he could have taken advantage of the situation. He was quick, friendly and honest.... So thankful we called him! I totally recommend him!

Have had Ryan out twice now to our Condo to fix some of our lighting issues. Very impressed with his speed of taking care of our problems. He's very professional, knows what he's doing and is affordable. We will be using his services from now on.
