RTR Electric
Company Overview
I perform kitchen and bathroom renovations, problem-solving, and fixes. I install new fixtures, flat panel televisions, in-ceiling lights, and various appliances. I often perform electrical panel and sub panel upgrades, outdoor security lights, and landscape lighting. I lay communication lines, phone lines, and network lines. I set up heating units during cold weather and overhead fans and A/C units when the temperature rises. I enjoy tackling unique tasks, so bring on the challenges :)
With my background as an electrician with 12 years of experience in both residential and commercial sectors, I unexpectedly became without a job when the mom-and-pop store I worked for faced challenges due to the recession. Motivated by circumstances, and to continue with a field I truly enjoy, I established RTR Electric. While I felt confident as an electrician, I was still learning in business, and growing this business has been a significant experience for me. What once felt has turned into a joyful endeavor. My wife and I, we continue to expand our business by offering dependable service at competitive costs and by exceeding our clients’ wants.
Ryan T. Rutherford, owner of RTR is a Licensed Electrical Contractor. After serving in the USMC for a four-year term, I began my electrical career in the year 1999 in Palm Springs, where I focused on building new homes for bespoke residences. I rapidly progressed to Foreman and later became a repair electrician with a local electrical company. I then relocated to the northern part of California, where I kept working in the construction sector before going back to SoCal, where I served as a Foreman for another electrical firm on several concurrent projects at once. In 2004, I went back to the north and joined I. Cannan as the lead electrician, where I enhanced my skills in residential remodels and commercial work. I became my license in May of 2009 and launched RTR Electric. I am proud of my work and focus on detail. I strive to be on time, professional, and driven to fulfilling your electrical requirements.
RTR Electric is a locally owned and run enterprise.

Recommended Customer Reviews
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.
Meagan N.Great experience. As a young woman, it is always a little nerve wracking having someone come fix stuff in your house but Ryan made this ZERO of an issue.
I had been seeing a guest out and finishing conversation and he waited patiently as I wrapped things up, which was really nice. He was thorough in assessing the problems I had (yea.....plural, its been a while since i had someone come out) and fixed everything without even blinking. He was curteous of the pets I had in my home as well as making sure items were back to their original places. He also didn't make me feel like an idiot when there were some obvious changes I needed to make. Woohoo!
A very, very easy and fast visit and you cannot beat the price. I highly recommend Ryan for any of your electric needs! A+!
