RAD Electric Renewable Energy reviews

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.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
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.
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.

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.
