Service Rite Electric reviews
• last updated FEB 26, 2026Loading map...
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.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
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.
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.
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.

What You Can Expect
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.
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.
Lynne needed a small electrical job done and called ServiceRite; they bid the work within two days and handed her an estimate that same day. She had called two other local companies first—one never showed for the appointment and the other took weeks and still didn’t send an estimate—so the quick turnaround stood out immediately. The technician, Victoria, showed up knowledgeable, finished the job quickly, and took care to clean up and put everything back the way it belonged. Because the process was fast, professional, and left her home tidy, she plans to use ServiceRite for future electrical needs and keeps their contact info on hand.
