Rider Electrical is a small local company located in Bellingham, WA. I enjoy working with homeowners looking for an electrician who can help them with any electrical issues or remodeling projects. My specialties are old knob and tube replacement, troubleshooting dead plugs, broken switches, flickering lights, bulbs that burn out fast, lights that don't turn on, or mystery wires and switches that seem to do nothing. I do all kinds of service change-outs, full electrical remodels, new residential houses or service calls for smaller issues like a plug not working. From large projects to small fixes, Rider Electric can help you with all your electrical, and lighting needs.

"Wonderful service! They were able to fix the outlet literally within 3 hours of my first requesting a quote. We'll definitely be using them again!"

"Dylan is a great electrician. He’s a hard worker who knows what he’s doing. You would be very fortunate if you can hire him as your electrician. I’ve rehired him to do another project."

Our belief in strong communications leads to the highest level of professionalism, integrity and honesty in our relationships with our clients. With more than 10 years of experience you can expect to receive quality precise craftsmanship. Our objective is to provide remodeling services at fair and competitive price.

"Legacy Remodeling did an awesome job to our bathrooms and family room. It turned out beautifully and was completed on time. After meeting up with Alvaro (owner) several times to discuss the projects, we decided to hire him. The best part about this renovation was that Alvaro did the work himself with very good eye on details, as well he is very knowledgeable on plumbing, tiles, carpentry and electrical. Also, he has a great crew. Often, they worked weekends and stayed late. We were very happy with Alvaro and his crew and, we plan to hire them again soon for our next house project."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

You don’t need to be an electrician to change a light bulb. You also don’t have to be an electrician to replace a light fixture with another compatible one. But, if you are installing a light fixture for the first time, it’s worth hiring a licensed professional for the job.

While a handyperson may charge a bit less, a qualified professional can make sure everything is up to code and working exactly as it should be. This is especially true for more complicated lighting projects.

Yes, electric fences need power to operate. They are powered by either a battery or an electrical outlet. In heavy snow or extreme rain, or if the power goes out, your electric fence might stop working. Knowing how to test an electric fence is important for figuring out if the fence is still functioning properly.

Professional services ensure safe installations, reliable repairs, and compliance with codes emphasizing safety in electrical networks.

People who have experienced blown fuse have occasionally tried to fix the problem by placing copper pennies in the fuse box. While they are good conductors of electricity and can seemingly “fix” the issue,  they don’t protect against short circuits or fires. Putting pennies in a fuse box is dangerous—the best solution is to call a professional electrician to fix the problem.

Timers work by using an internal switch to turn power on or off to the cord plugged into it. Just the same way that a light switch turns lights on and off, the timer throws the switch at the programmed times.
