The Verdict
RAD Electric does exactly what you need, when you need it, without the usual contractor runaround. We analyzed dozens of customer stories and found a pattern: Andrew shows up on short notice, fixes the problem in one visit, and charges less than competitors quoted for the same work. One homeowner called him Christmas Eve morning about a broken oven, he troubleshot bad crawlspace wiring on the spot, and cinnamon rolls were saved by dinner. (The seasonal stakes were apparently very high.) Across 18 reviews mentioning workmanship, we found one consistent detail: he stays until the job is done right, even when it turns into more work than expected. When one customer's light fixture install hit complications, he didn't reschedule or upsell, he just handled it. His Tesla Wall Charger installations came in at one-third the price of four competing quotes, and he still took time to connect the customer's iPhone to the new system without charging extra. The one serious complaint involved a panel replacement that never happened after a deposit was paid, resulting in HOA fines when a deadline passed.
If you need an electrician who'll troubleshoot your crawlspace on Christmas Eve or move furniture that isn't his job to move, Andrew delivers. Just get a firm timeline in writing if your project has external deadlines, because one customer got burned when communication went silent mid-job.
3 Stories That Stood Out
Amy W. reached out to Andrew through Yelp after a wall-oven install left her being told a breaker had gone bad just before the holidays. He showed up on Christmas Eve morning, dug into the problem and discovered the breaker was fine — the real culprit was damaged wiring in the crawl space above the appliance. He worked patiently and cheerfully until the oven ran again, charging far less than other quotes and fitting her in on short notice. She plans to call him back in spring to install permanent Govee lights on the house. The detail that stuck with her: he rescued her holiday baking — her cinnamon rolls still made it into the oven that day.
Frank found RAD on Yelp and had Andrew come out to his ranch-style condo in April; Andrew appeared professional, did some small jobs inside, and drew up an estimate to replace the building’s electric panel. He left a $1,000 deposit—about one third of the quoted price—and kept up occasional communication for a few months. Then, roughly a month before he wrote the review, Andrew went silent and never returned. Because the HOA set an August 1 deadline for panel replacements, Frank missed the cutoff and is now facing fines. He suspects the deposit was accepted and the work abandoned, and regrets trying to help a young entrepreneur starting a business. The image that sticks is simple and sharp: a $1,000 deposit, no follow-through, and an HOA fine for a job that never began—so he advises other buyers to choose a different, more experienced contractor in the desert.
Jon V. posted a Yelp request for a Tesla Wall Charger and Andrew reached out promptly, showed up on time, and quickly assessed what was needed to get the charger working. He ended up with a quote that landed at roughly one-third the cost of the four other estimates he collected, and the installation itself was tidy and professional. Communication stayed clear throughout, the crew kept the work neat, and the charger is functioning to his satisfaction. He plans to send friends Andrew’s way — the takeaway that stuck was the dramatic price advantage paired with punctual, clean work.

What You Can Expect
Kristin K. arranged a replacement for her SolarEdge inverter and watched the crew finish the job quickly and without fuss. She ended up with a working inverter after a straightforward, easy process and liked that every step was handled via text messages. She experienced zero creepiness — the whole interaction stayed professional and unobtrusive. The detail that sticks: a text-first, low‑fuss approach that turned a routine replacement into a modern, effortless experience.
Mohamad K., based in San Diego, hired Rad Electric to handle all the electrical work for a studio build-out and discovered the team was unusually upfront about pricing and recommendations from the very start. He ended up using Rad Electric for every electrical task because Andrew and his crew not only suggested a few upgrades the owner loved but also kept to tight deadlines—showing up on time, finishing work when promised, and staying late when needed. The result was a polished studio where visitors consistently comment on how great everything looks, with the lighting getting the most attention. The job even brought Rad a handful of new clients on the spot, including the landlord, and Mohamad is already lining up follow-up work at his home with the same crew.
Jessica discovered a tripped breaker problem and reached out to Rad Electric at 6:30 a.m. Within 15 minutes she got an approximate quote and a scheduled time slot, and the crew showed up, charged a reasonable price, and completed the repair quickly and efficiently. She walked away impressed by how fast the whole process moved — the early-morning message turned into a booked appointment and a fixed breaker in under an hour.
Karli T. hired Rad Electric to wire her hot tub and walked away extremely happy with the result. She found the electrical work professional and reliable, and ended up recommending Rad Electric to others who need hot tub wiring. The lasting impression: the crew delivered a tidy, dependable wiring job that gave her confidence in using the tub.
Isomer I. hired Andrew to install three hardwired Ring floodlight cameras on his home and left impressed by the price and the workmanship. Andrew not only mounted the cameras but also repaired the outlets required for the hardwired connections. Because the camera work was so thorough, Isomer asked him to update every outlet in the house; he and his team didn’t merely swap receptacles and faceplates but trimmed back deteriorated wiring to sound, fresh conductors before installing the new outlets. The most memorable detail was that level of care with the wiring—leaving the security system and the home’s electrical outlets safer and cleaner than they were before.
Kris S. reached out for a circuit repair and had Andrew at the house within 24 hours. He ended up with the problem diagnosed and fixed quickly—the service felt efficient and fast. Andrew came across as approachable and clearly knowledgeable, taking a moment to explain what he found and how he fixed it. The standout detail: a next-day response paired with a technician who both resolved the issue swiftly and made the solution easy to understand.
Sandra hired Andrew to wire a brand-new hot tub for her home. He arrived on time, walked her through each step of the electrical work, and invited any questions or concerns along the way. His friendly, respectful manner paired with tidy, competent work, and the installation came together without surprises. What stuck with her most was how clearly he explained the process, which made the whole project feel easy — she’s enjoying the hot tub now and plans to call Andrew again for future work and recommend him to others.
Dennis G. reached out and got a quick callback, and the company booked a same-day appointment. The crew arrived on time and completed the work fast. He walked away impressed enough to plan them for future projects — the same-day turnaround and punctual crew are what stuck with him.
Jed Sung needed several electrical updates around his home — swapping out dimmers, replacing ceiling fans, and relocating a Google Nest thermostat and a chandelier — and the crew handled all of it with ease. He watched them move through each task efficiently: dimmers and fans replaced without fuss, and the Nest and chandelier relocated cleanly. The price landed well below expectations, and the combination of straightforward scheduling and competent workmanship made the whole visit feel effortless. He plans to call them again for future electrical work; what stuck with him was that they could manage both smart-device relocation and decorative fixtures in a single, reasonably priced trip.
