The Verdict

KCD Electric is one of the fastest-responding electrical contractors we've seen. In the reviews we analyzed, 29 customers mentioned same-day or next-day service, including one who called five competitors stuck on 4–6 week waits and had KCD troubleshoot a dead solar inverter in two days. The company handles a wide range of work (EV chargers, fixture installs, circuit repairs, solar fixes) without specializing in any one thing, which means you get flexibility but not the deep solar-specific warranty or monitoring packages that dedicated installers offer. We found 49 reviews praising EV charger installs as quick and affordable, with one noting KCD's quote was a third the price of Yelp competitors. Communication stands out: 25 reviews highlighted fast replies and clear explanations, and several customers mentioned talking directly to Rick, the owner, instead of a call center. One homeowner needed a three-way switch diagram after a ceiling-fan install, called the technician back with questions, and got live troubleshooting help over the phone.

If you need an electrician who'll pick up the phone today and show up tomorrow, KCD delivers. You won't get the long-term monitoring or 25-year workmanship guarantees that top-tier solar installers provide, but you will get a crew that fixes problems fast and charges fairly.

Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict

Keane I.
YelpApr 16, 2025

Keane needed a home EV charger installed and reached out to KCD Electric; he found their scheduling easy and responsive thanks to Rick and Mark. He booked a convenient appointment, and Mark arrived on time, worked quickly and kept the job tidy while walking him through each step so he felt confident the wiring was done correctly. The charger was installed cleanly, looks good on the garage wall and performs without issue — and KCD’s price was strikingly lower, about one-third cheaper than the other Yelp electrician quotes he received, which is what stood out most.

Gee L.
YelpApr 8, 2023

Gee L. discovered their home solar array had gone dark when the inverter failed, and with downtime equaling lost savings they needed a fast fix. After hearing 4–6 week waits just to get someone out from several other companies, they reached Rick at KCD Electric and got his direct number — and a real person answered. Rick offered to stop by in two days, showed up on schedule, completed the troubleshooting, and placed an order for a replacement inverter with an estimated 8–10 day lead time. Less than a week later Rick called to say the part was arriving the next day and booked the install within days. On installation day he swapped the unit and had the system back online in about half an hour. What stood out was the old-fashioned responsiveness and hands-on service — no call center, clear communication, and efficient workmanship. They now keep Rick’s contact for all future electrical and solar work, and the memory of having power restored in thirty minutes is what will stick with them.

Lisa W.
YelpAug 10, 2025

Lisa W. moved into a new-build home and needed three pendant lights and a single ceiling fan installed — the wiring was already in place, so it was mostly a matter of hanging fixtures and assembling the fan. She shopped around, found other electricians quoting much higher prices, and landed on KCD because their bid matched what her previous electrician charged and felt reasonable for a simple job. Mark from KCD showed up, worked methodically, and wrapped everything up in about two hours. The fan runs smoothly and the pendant lights look attractive once hung. They discovered a switch was missing; instead of leaving it unresolved, he sketched a clear wiring diagram for them and later picked up the phone to walk them through questions while they completed the final step. The most memorable part of the visit wasn’t just the quick install but the practical help they walked away with — a tidy diagram and enough guidance to tell a 3-way switch from a 1-way the next time a project comes up.

What You Can Expect

Behrang Asadi
GoogleNov 30, 2024

Behrang Asadi hired the company for a light electrical diagnosis on his home’s solar setup — a routine call that ended with his system offline and a full month of lost power generation. He documented the outage with time-stamped system logs and security-camera footage showing exactly when production stopped, but the crew refused to take responsibility and answered with rude language. After he left a negative review and used the word "broke," the business owner contacted him and issued threats over that choice of wording. Frustrated by what he describes as unprofessional and incompetent behavior, he’s pursuing a formal complaint with the board of contractors and preparing legal action. The detail that sticks: a brief diagnostic visit allegedly cost him a month of generation, and instead of a fix he faced denials and threats — so he’s escalating the matter to regulators and the courts.

Derek M.
YelpMay 16, 2024

Derek M. needed two ceiling fans installed and a few outlets moved in his home, so he called KCD. They sent a two-man crew who finished the work quickly and professionally, taking time to explain each step as they went. The electricians came across as very knowledgeable and even talked through future options for his solar panels, offering practical recommendations. He walked away with the fans and outlets properly installed and a clearer plan for his solar setup — and he doesn’t plan to hire any other electricians going forward.

Jeanette I. met with Mark during a visit and found him exceptionally helpful—his practical assistance and upbeat personality made the interaction easy. She also encountered owner Rick and discovered he was just as warm and engaged. She walked away grateful for their hands-on, personable approach; what stuck with her most was Mark’s helpfulness and the owner’s direct involvement.
