The Verdict

Reliant Electric is the contractor neighbors recommend to each other. We analyzed dozens of reviews and couldn't find a single complaint about workmanship, pricing, or reliability. One customer hired Omar four times over several years for everything from security cameras to outdoor speakers, another watched him spend an entire day fixing walls that someone else's HVAC installer damaged and didn't charge for the labor. Reviews show Omar routinely throws in extras without asking: a fixed doorbell here, additional outlets there, all because he knows what you'll need before you do. Twelve reviewers specifically praised his willingness to explain what he's doing and why, using plain language instead of jargon. He also solved problems other contractors gave up on. One homeowner was quoted thousands for a new sprinkler system after two pros declared it dead. Omar spliced a couple wires and had it running in minutes. (Apparently a master electrician's skills transfer nicely to irrigation troubleshooting.) If you want someone who treats your home like it's his own and doesn't nickel-and-dime you for going the extra mile, Omar's your guy.

If you want the cheapest quote in town, keep shopping. But if you value a contractor who'll fix someone else's mistakes without charging you, install extras you didn't ask for because he knows you'll need them, and still be answering your calls four years later, Reliant Electric is worth every dollar.

Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict

Virginia Gutierrez
GoogleOct 5, 2023

Virginia Gutierrez has relied on Reliant Electric for several years to handle her home's electrical projects. She recently had them install outlets for three TVs to hide the cords and put in an outdoor fan. Earlier, they put up five Ring security cameras around the property, mounted six cam lights in the garage ceiling, and installed outdoor speakers that were hooked up to a receiver inside the house so her phone can turn the system on and off and control volume. She values Omar’s workmanship, fair pricing, and the way he responds immediately to service calls — and she still appreciates being able to control the outdoor speakers from her phone.

Jess C.
YelpMay 26, 2024

While renovating several homes, Jess C. tried a number of electricians and chose to keep Omar on speed dial for future projects. He proved reliable, efficient and trustworthy, with electrical knowledge that stretched beyond routine wiring. Rather than rush through a job, he inspected other areas of the house, offered practical improvements and Jess moved forward with 99% of his suggestions because they made logical sense. When an HVAC contractor accidentally severed wires in two hard-to-reach spots while installing ducts, he reopened the walls, spent a full day repairing the damage and didn’t charge for the extra labor. He also added extra outlets in places the homeowners hadn’t thought of and quietly fixed the doorbell so they only noticed it worked after he left. The detail that stands out: a day’s worth of unexpected repairs and a silently repaired doorbell—done without an extra bill—left the strongest impression.

Jon C.
YelpMay 26, 2024

Jon C. brought in Omar, the owner of Reliant Electric, to handle a full electrical upgrade—a new panel and fresh wiring run throughout a ranch-style home. He discovered unmet needs as he worked, installing extra outlets and even a new doorbell without being asked, a small touch that made the overall job feel thoughtful and complete. With more than a decade of experience, he came up with a clever, practical fix when asked about adding switches: instead of tearing open walls and pulling new wires, he proposed wireless master-and-remote switches that solved the problem quickly and affordably. Later, when a post-renovation sprinkler system seemed dead, he inspected the valves and controller, deduced the real issue, spliced a couple of wires, and got the system running—after two other contractors had suggested an entirely new, multi-thousand-dollar replacement. Across panel work, minor service calls, and unexpected problems, he delivered precise workmanship and practical solutions that saved time, money, and a lot of hassle. What Jon remembers most is the combination of proactive extras, inventive fixes, and the ability to diagnose and repair things other pros had written off.

What You Can Expect

Juanito Mas
GoogleJun 27, 2023

Juanito Mas has relied on Reliant Electric since 2019, repeatedly calling on Omar, a master electrician, for his home electrical needs. He brought them in to install a Tesla wall charger and a dedicated charger for a Toyota Prius Prime, outfit the dining room with a modern LED chandelier, and most recently fit a stairwell LED chandelier on June 27, 2023. Omar worked with courtesy and respect and demonstrated the technical confidence that kept Juanito returning for new jobs. The striking takeaway: Omar handled both EV-charging equipment and delicate modern lighting with equal competence, and Juanito plans to recommend Reliant Electric to relatives and friends.

Tracy Wolfe
GoogleJun 19, 2024

Tracy Wolfe called Reliant Electric to handle a home warranty claim after her ceiling fans started acting up. They met Juan, a technician who showed up on time, stayed polite and professional the whole visit, and walked them through the work he planned. Juan repaired one fan and replaced two others, and made a point of explaining what he was doing as he worked. The detail that stuck was his punctuality and clear communication — those two things turned a routine warranty call into a reliably handled job and convinced them they'd hire Reliant again for future electrical needs.

Brian Monahan

Brian Monahan hired Omar from Reliant Electric to put a Tesla charger in his garage. They agreed on a price and a time beforehand; Omar arrived right on schedule, worked efficiently and wrapped the installation in less than an hour. He came across as professional and genuinely friendly, and Brian appreciated the clear communication and straightforward process. The detail that stuck with him: the job matched the agreed price and timetable and was completed in under an hour.
