The Verdict

Service Rite Electric handles the basics well but doesn't stand out. We analyzed nearly a hundred reviews and found a company that's built a reliable reputation on punctual crews and clean workmanship, particularly for panel upgrades and emergency repairs. One property manager has used them for ten years across multiple rentals without a single letdown. Another homeowner called six companies during a Sunday night power outage and only Service Rite answered, dispatching a tech who arrived in 35 minutes with the right breaker in stock. That responsiveness shows up in 40 reviews praising their project management, and 46 mention solid workmanship. But five reviewers hit frustrating scheduling snags: one was told mid-call that Oceanside wasn't in their service area (despite calling the North County line), another waited two weeks for a promised estimate that never arrived. If you need a dependable electrician for straightforward work and you're inside their core territory, they're a safe bet. If you're on the edge of their coverage zone or need airtight communication on complex projects, confirm those details up front.

If you want an electrician who'll pick up the phone at midnight and show up with the part you need, Service Rite delivers. Just make sure you're in their service area before you start planning the job.

3 Stories That Stood Out

1. Marc L.
Yelp | Jul 23, 2018 |

Marc L. faced a late-Sunday-night emergency when a breaker in a six-month-old electrical panel burned out, cutting power to the entire upper floor and several downstairs outlets while his home sat near 95°F. He, Kadie, and two overnight guests all had early-morning jobs, so the outage felt urgent. After calling six 24/7 companies and only hitting answering machines, he reached ServiceRite; an employee named Irma asked for a photo of the damaged breaker to check stock and confirmed they had the part and could send a tech. Thirty-five minutes later Chris arrived, replaced the burned-out breaker, and restored power. The bill was fair, Chris worked informatively, quickly, and efficiently, and he left such a strong impression that he would hire Chris if he ran a business. The detail that stuck: ServiceRite’s photo-based triage and a 35-minute response turned a potentially disaster-packed night into a solved emergency.

2. Ryan S.
Yelp | Sep 26, 2022 |

Ryan S. called the company’s North County line (760) 385-3054 to arrange a straightforward job — an electrical outlet and a light-bulb socket for his Oceanside garage. He explained right away that he lived in Oceanside and the representative agreed, even moving to schedule the work for early the following week. Just before confirming, she asked what other services he was considering; as he began listing them she abruptly cut him off and said, “we don’t service Oceanside.” He pushed back, reminding her he had given his location at the start and that he’d called the North County number, but she repeated that they don’t cover Oceanside. He didn’t object to a coverage boundary, only to being walked through the whole list of services and given a tentative appointment after being assured service — then being rejected at the end of the call. The call left him both angry and disappointed, and he concluded the experience with a one-star review. The detail that lingers: being promised a slot early next week, then told after sharing all his needs that the company won’t service his town.

3. K L
Google | Jul 26, 2024 |

This homeowner relied on Service Rite for all their electrical needs and found an exceptionally capable crew. K L singled out Paul for being inventive, attentive, and for pushing projects forward so the work achieved the best possible outcome. Even more memorable: Moises has returned to the property twice, arriving pleasant and polite each time, and worked with a thorough, hardworking approach that repeatedly went above and beyond. Because of that consistent attention and workmanship, they plan to keep hiring Service Rite for every future electrical project.

What You Can Expect

01

1. Anthony Padilla
Google | Oct 23, 2025 |

Anthony had Shawn come out to handle some electrical work at his house, and right away Shawn's customer service stood out. He took the time to locate the problem, walked Anthony through what was wrong, and explained the repair clearly so Anthony felt comfortable with the work. He came away impressed with the professionalism, plans to call them for future repairs, and will pass their contact along to anyone who needs electrical work — the calm, patient explanation of the issue was the detail that stuck with him.

2. Vilchez
Google | Sep 1, 2025 |

Vilchez needed someone extremely meticulous and trustworthy to handle a full main-panel upgrade on the house. They hired the crew and watched as the team walked them through every step, stopping to make sure they understood what was happening and why. The installers methodically inspected and rechecked their work against code, tightening details and addressing issues until everything met safety standards. The sheer amount of work surprised them — far more involved than they'd expected — and those thorough inspections left them with lasting confidence. They ended up with an electrical system they believe will be safe for a long time and the peace of mind that came from such careful workmanship.

3. Therese C.
Yelp | Feb 8, 2019 |

Therese C. had her house tented for termites and then discovered electrical problems with the smoke alarm system. Referred by a trusted source, she got a next-day service call: the owner arranged the visit and the technician, Armando, arrived and fixed the wiring promptly. Both the owner and the tech knew she had to be at work by 9 a.m.; she even left a lockbox with a key and told them to bill her later if she wasn’t home. As Armando finished and began writing the invoice, she left for work expecting the billing arrangement to be honored. A few minutes down the freeway, someone in the office — Irma — called to demand payment while she was driving. She reacted with a mild expletive; Irma answered angrily and became defensive. What mattered most to her wasn’t the quality of the repair but the mismatch between the owner’s promise to bill and the office’s immediate collection call, plus Irma’s harsh tone. That billing snafu and the unpleasant phone exchange left her unwilling to use the company again.

02

1. Set Max
Google | Feb 23, 2021 |

Set has leaned on Service Rite for more than a decade for technology and smart‑home projects, so this relationship reads like a string of repeat installations rather than a single sale. They have consistently shown up on time, produced solid workmanship, and kept prices reasonable across multiple jobs. After wrapping up another installation just last week, they walked away with the same impression: dependable crews, fair pricing, and work that holds up — the standout fact is the decade-plus reliability that makes Service Rite a go-to partner.

2. Hector Jasper
Google | Dec 30, 2013 |

Hector turned to the company repeatedly to handle projects across several rental properties, and after about ten years he still found their work outstanding and finished on schedule. He relied on them for consistent, timely results across different jobs, and that steady dependability is what kept him coming back. The lasting impression: a contractor that delivered high-quality, on-time work across a landlord’s portfolio for a decade.

3. Brent Shaw
Google | Mar 20, 2013 |

Brent has relied on Paul and his company for ten years; over that stretch he never ran into a project that let him down. That decade of consistently dependable work is the takeaway—no failed or disappointing jobs across multiple engagements.

1. ckmooney1
Google | Sep 8, 2025 |

After more than 30 years in property management, ckmooney1 turned to Service Rite for an electrical upgrade and relied on them as a go-to contractor. They discovered a team that knows the trade, offers competitive pricing, and consistently leaves jobs immaculate. When Moises finished the most recent electrical upgrade, he delivered workmanship the reviewer ranked among the best of their long career — tidy, precise, and clearly done with care. The memorable detail: Moises’s attention to clean, high-quality finishes that make ongoing maintenance easier.

2. Mario Amaya
Google | Aug 25, 2025 |

When Mario had his solar system installed, he found the crew punctual, efficient and clearly experienced. He watched them finish the installation flawlessly and took note of how smoothly the job progressed. More than the tidy workmanship, he appreciated that the team spent time showing him practical maintenance tips to keep the system running well. He left confident he could handle routine upkeep himself because of those clear, usable pointers.

3. K L
Google | Jul 26, 2024 |

This homeowner relied on Service Rite for all their electrical needs and found an exceptionally capable crew. K L singled out Paul for being inventive, attentive, and for pushing projects forward so the work achieved the best possible outcome. Even more memorable: Moises has returned to the property twice, arriving pleasant and polite each time, and worked with a thorough, hardworking approach that repeatedly went above and beyond. Because of that consistent attention and workmanship, they plan to keep hiring Service Rite for every future electrical project.
