RTR Electric
Company Overview
I handle upgrades for kitchens and baths, problem-solving, and repairs. I put in new equipment, televisions, in-ceiling lights, and kitchen gadgets. I regularly execute main service panel and secondary panel upgrades, security lighting, and garden lights. I install communication lines, phone lines, and internet lines. I install heating units during cold weather and overhead fans and A/C units when the heat is on. I take pleasure in working on unique tasks, so feel free to challenge me :)
As a skilled electrician with 12 years of work in both residential and commercial sectors, I found myself unemployed when the small business I worked for faced challenges due to the declining economy. Out of necessity, and to remain in a field I am passionate about, I launched 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. At first intimidating has turned into a joyful endeavor. Alongside my wife, we are developing our business by offering reliable solutions at fair prices and by surpassing our clients’ needs.
Ryan T. Rutherford, the founder of RTR is a Licensed Electrical Contractor. Upon completing my service in the USMC for four years, I initiated my electrical career in 1999 in California, where I worked in the construction of new homes for bespoke residences. I rapidly progressed to Foreman and later became a Service Electrician with a local electrical company. Subsequently, I transitioned to NorCal, where I remained in building projects before going back to SoCal, where I served as a Foreman for another electrical firm on several concurrent projects at once. Come 2004, I returned to Northern California and joined I. Cannan as the lead electrician, where I enhanced my skills in home renovations and commercial installations. I became my state license in 2009 and launched RTR Electric. I am proud of my work and emphasize detail. I aim to be on time, courteous, and motivated to meeting your electrical requirements.
RTR Electric is a family-operated 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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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+!
