We hired Rick Electric to install outlets and cameras at our home for our new security system. Just thoroughly impressed with Greg and the entire process. He was very professional and made sure I was 100% happy with the placement and look of the cameras. Very much appreciate his attention to detail and promptness with communication. I will highly recommend Rick Electric based on my experience with their team.

We had Rick Electric install a whole house generator at our lake. They made sure the entire installation process went smooth. Greg F. did a great job making sure everything was working as planned and made sure we knew how to operate everything. Service: Installation

I recently had a home inspection for my 1950's home and discovered several items were not up to today's standards. I contacted Rick Electric and they were able to review the report and fix the relevant items. My electrician provided great advice on some items that I wasn't ready to commit to repairing, and found some additional updates. I received exactly the type of service I was looking for! Definitely recommend them!

Rick Electric is always my go-to for electrical work. On time and always great ideas to make the project even better. Under cabinet lighting, moving and installing outlets, hard wiring landscape lights and more. None better than Rick!

I highly recommend using Rick Electric's services when updating your electrical components at your home. Greg F at Rick Electric was able to close out an old open permit I had at my house due to another electrician company that did not finish the job. Greg quickly diagnosed the areas that needed to be addressed due to city requirements, called the city inspector to verify the items that needed to be completed, and quickly completed the job so that my open permit was closed.
Working with Rick Electric was a pleasure and mainly because they did all the work for me. It is nice to be able to have an electrician company you can trust and that values the quality of work that needs to be completed in order to keep your family safe at home. Thank you, Greg!

As a home owner for over 40 years, we have used Rick Electric multiple times. The first time was having Keith rewire and update our electrical board from old fuses to breakers. Then we remodeled our basement and Keith again wired all our light boxes into the ceiling. We have even used Rick Electric to install dimmer switches as well as simple outlets. My thought is why try to do it yourself, when you can have professionals do it and know that's it's done up to city code and safe.
We have since moved to a townhome association, and I was asked to find an electrical contractor to install new fire extinguishers and carbon monoxide alarms for the 8 units. We went with Rick Electric and they contacted us for an estimate, gave us the quote bid, scheduled the work, and completed the installation of 40 alarms. Every homeowner was very satisfied with the work preformed. Rick Electric Inc is a 5 star company.
