Rodda Electric reviews

The Verdict
This company has serious follow-up problems that will leave you stuck. We found multiple stories of customers waiting weeks for callbacks that never came. One business owner spent three weeks chasing a response after lights went out in their new building. When Rodda finally replied, they quoted $500 just to show up, no diagnosis included. The owner found another electrician who charged $100 for the same visit. Another customer canceled entirely after two weeks of missed appointments and unreturned calls for a simple sign repair, only to have the company still try to charge for the initial visit. The positive reviews cluster around solar installations from 2011-2013, praising speed and a staffer named Josh. But the recent complaints reveal a company that ghosts customers after the initial sale. Two separate drivers were reported for reckless behavior on public roads, one nearly causing an accident by changing lanes without signaling.
If you need someone who'll answer the phone after they cash your check, look elsewhere. The solar work from a decade ago earned praise, but recent customers describe week-long silence, surprise fees, and projects abandoned mid-stream.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
This homeowner connected with Josh at Rodda Electric’s solar division and discovered he was refreshingly upfront about what he could and couldn’t provide. They found him reachable by phone, often personally available within minutes, and consistently hardworking, organized, and determined to satisfy the customer. In their own research, the Solarworld panels Josh offered stood out versus other brands for cost-effectiveness, efficiency, warranty protection, durability, and looks. As a recent customer, they left with a full and unconditional endorsement of Rodda Electric’s solar team after an installation handled smoothly by Josh and the crew. The detail that lingered: Josh’s near‑immediate responsiveness paired with high‑quality panels made the whole process feel reliably professional.
Crosley needed the company to repair the ballasts on the front sign of their business—a small, highly visible fixture that customers use to find the storefront. Two days after the initial call a technician came out to inspect and promised a cost estimate within another two days; that estimate never arrived. When Crosley called back five days after the first call, the company said parts had been ordered and they would return within two days of the part arriving. They didn’t show up or call; voicemails and additional calls produced only more vague commitments and long stretches of silence. After roughly two weeks without a firm appointment, Crosley canceled the job—only to be told the company still expected payment for the initial visit. A different contractor handled the same repair in four days, leaving the lasting impression that poor communication and an insistence on charging for an unfinished job were the real problems to watch for.
Solomon hired the company to handle all electrical work for a new veterinary building, and although the wiring was completed years earlier, trouble cropped up about 18 months ago when a short knocked out every light and the lighting controller began needing constant adjustment. His manager spent three weeks trying to get any response; when Solomon took over the follow-up it still took another week before the company finally answered. Rather than diagnose the issue, the crew quoted a flat $500 minimum just to come onsite — no troubleshooting first, no evaluation — which felt excessive given they couldn’t say what the problem would require. Solomon shopped around and found a commercial electrician who would come look for $100, so the $500 call-out fee and the weeks of unreturned calls pushed him to pull future work away from the firm. The detail that stands out: after weeks of chasing, the first tangible offer was a nonrefundable $500 to “show up,” not a clear path to a fix — and that was enough to end the relationship.

This homeowner found the process impressively streamlined: Rodda Electric and Solar handled everything from the initial quote through to receiving the rebate, showing steady follow-through. The installation crew finished the physical work within a week, and the company remained involved until the rebate paperwork was resolved. They recommended the company, and what stuck with them was the fast, end-to-end execution — a week for the install plus hands-on support through the rebate process.
