Great service all the way around. I especially appreciated how pleasant, friendly and courteous Carol was. She was so helpful and respectful. This was a huge reason for choosing RK Electric. They came by to do a free quote and then also did top notch service on a dimmer light and an outdoor socket. And they were fast. Very professional and a delight to do business with.

Great work by these guys! I am having my attic weatherization improved and the insulation contractor discovered knob & tube wiring that had to be removed before they could do their job. A much pricier endeavor than I initially envisioned - but, knew I had to get it done at some point (now that I know it's there). RK's proposal seemed reasonable for the work that needed to be done - and i was able to add a few other things that would be easy to handle at the same time. Came in under budget because some proposed work wasn't in fact needed. I would hire them again in a heartbeat. Thanks Rob & Carol!

I have nothing but praiseworthy things to say about RK Electric, they initially did a full re-wire for me in 2018 and they did an fabulous job. Nothing has changed in 4 years, had a faulty GFI, Carol tried to talk me through it but it needed hands on. The gentlemen came at 9:00 am on the spot, explained what needed to be done, changed GFI to a dedicated plug for new freezer, they were courteous and professional. Thank you RK for being upright and honest company, Carol you are a Gem!!!

After another electrical company cancelled the appointment I started calling various folks on Angies list. I came across RK Electric. Left a VM. Carol called few minutes later and asked for pictures. She immediately recommended that I reset a few CFGI plugs in various bathrooms and then guide me to reset my breakers in garage and try again. Wow, all power was restored and I actually learned how to troubleshoot electrical problems. Carol was heaven sent. I am forever grateful. Well Done.

RK electric is a true jewel of a company. We have worked with them for years, and decided that it was now time to swap out the old, failing lighting in our home, add a couple of circuits for specific purposes, and make sure that our electrical systems were up to current code. RK did beautiful work, helped us find safety-related trouble spots with our wiring, and made time to fix those spots even though the original estimate didn't specify it. The work itself was superb.

Thank you for sharing. Although we would have liked to help you, your electrical concerns should be addressed as soon as possible and we're already scheduled many months out. When things settle down a bit, we will reevaluate our schedule and open up our calendar again. But until then, we encourage you to reach out to other electrical contractors on Angie's List. And please feel free to give our office a call if you have any questions. Thank you for your understanding, - RK Electric

We understand and thank you for sharing your feelings. When we booked your estimate appointment last month, we were already scheduling service work toward the end of April. We appreciate your willingness to try to wait for us, but now we’re way beyond that. Some of our clients are saying that being this busy is “a good problem to have” and although it seems good, we hate to disappoint you. I’m sorry. We recently sat down to discuss our challenging workload and determined it would be best to stop adding to it for a while. This is the most responsible option so as not to let you down later by trying to forecast too many months in advance. This was painful and awkward, but it was a necessary step. We know your time is valuable so we reached out to you immediately to give you as much notice as possible. When things settle down a bit, we will revisit our calendar and open scheduling up again. In the meantime, we encourage you to contact the contractor I believe we referred you to. If not, please call our office for their information. We have confirmed they have availability soon and they would be awaiting your call. We’re all trying to help each other get you all served as quickly as possible. Thank you for your understanding. - Carol RK Electric, Inc.

Ultimately we went with another company that we had worked with before (and was a bit cheaper) but we were very impressed with the speed with which Vanessa in the office got back to me after I contacted the company here on Angie's List. And particularly impressed with the estimator, Robert. Our estimate appointment was less than a week from when we first spoke with him. He did a n excellent job of explaining what needed to be done to meet our needs, how much it would cost, when the work could be done, and what we would need to do to prep for the work.

From beginning to end, my experience with RK was fantastic. They weren’t the cheapest nor the most expensive, they were comfortably in the middle & worth it!! Their patience, excellent work and professionalism is unsurpassed. The wonderful Carol was so great to work with. More companies should have their very own Carol! I will be calling RK when I need my subpanel added. I recommend them without hesitation, they were worth waiting a few weeks for!!
