RTR Electric
Company Overview
I handle kitchen and bathroom renovations, problem-solving, and repairs. I put in modern appliances, flat-screen TVs, recessed lighting, and various appliances. I often conduct main service panel and secondary panel upgrades, security lighting, and garden lights. I also run cable, telecommunication lines, and network lines. I install heaters during chilly months and ceiling fans and air conditioners when the heat is on. I love tackling unique tasks, so feel free to challenge me :)
With my background as an electrician with over a decade of experience in both private and public sectors, I unexpectedly became out of work when the local shop I worked for struggled due to the economic downturn. Driven by need, and to remain in a field I love, I launched RTR Electric. Though I was skilled as an electrician, I was still learning in business, and building this company has been a significant experience for me. What once felt has turned into a labor of love. My wife and I, we are developing our business by offering dependable service at fair prices and by exceeding our clients’ expectations.
Ryan T. Rutherford, owner of RTR is a state-licensed electrician. Upon completing my service in the Marines for 4 years, I started my electrical career in 1999 in Palm Springs, CA, where I worked in the construction of new homes for custom homes. I quickly advanced to Foreman and later became a repair electrician with Cockrell. I then relocated to the northern part of California, where I remained in building projects before heading back to SoCal, where I served as a lead supervisor for Jamar Electric on various jobs at once. In 2004, I came back to NorCal and joined I. Cannan as the lead electrician, where I enhanced my skills in home renovations and commercial installations. I achieved my state license in May of 2009 and launched RTR Electric. I am proud of my work and pay close attention to detail. I aim to be punctual, courteous, and driven to fulfilling your electrical requirements.
Our company is a family-operated and operated company.

Recommended Customer Reviews
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.
Matt W.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.
Leeann H.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!
Steve K.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.
Cj C.Ryan,
I wanted to thank you for helping me with my electrical issues. You were very knowledgeable and most importantly personable. I was a bit over my head and called you for assistance and you were there that day to solve my problem. Even though it turned out to be nothing too difficult, you can never be too careful when it comes to electricity. The best part of the process was our conversation. If I ever need another electrician I will definitely give Ryan a call without any hesitation. Thank you again very much.
Bill E.Ryan recently installed some key electrical items at my home. He had come well recommended from our local Nextdoor Greenbrae website. I had a similar great experience. Ryan is a good electrician and a pleasure to work with: I can recommend him highly. You won't be disappointed!
Kevin T.We had a very good experience with RTR Electric. From the first call to when he left our home, Ryan was very professional. He was right on time for the appointment, made us feel very comfortable having him in our home, and did exactly what we needed to have done. His prices are very fair. Although our job was small, he treated it with the importance of a large job. When we asked him about some potential projects that we may want to do, Ryan was very honest about what it would entail, and had some good advice that was genuinely in our best interest and not just what would be good for his business. We will definitely be using RTR Electric for our future needs.
