Tyler Rodrigues Electric reviews

The Verdict
Tyler Rodrigues Electric is a rare find: a local contractor who consistently undercuts national installers on price while using top-tier equipment. We analyzed dozens of reviews and found zero complaints about workmanship, project management, or follow-up support. One homeowner received bids from six companies and chose Tyler for both lower cost and better hardware, a combination you don't usually see. Another customer watched the crew finish the entire installation within days of permit approval, calling the experience 'no muss, no fuss.' What stands out most is Tyler's willingness to tackle warranty work other companies won't touch. When one homeowner's decade-old inverter failed and four local installers refused the small repair job, Tyler diagnosed the issue in minutes (a dusty viewing window and a loose Bluetooth module), charged only the $100 trip fee, and helped the customer navigate the manufacturer's warranty process. If you want an installer who'll spend an hour on hold with a manufacturer to save you a parts replacement, this is the rare crew that actually does it.
If budget is your main concern, you'll likely find Tyler Rodrigues Electric beats national installers on both price and equipment quality. And if something breaks years later, you won't be scrambling to find someone willing to help.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Rich brought Tyler in to design and install solar on his home and found the project ran efficiently and professionally from start to finish. He ended up with a system built from top-of-the-line equipment at a price that undercut the half dozen other quotes he collected. He concluded a local crew kept costs down without sacrificing quality, avoiding the substantial overhead public companies add without delivering extra value. The payoff shows on the meter: he now records net-negative electricity use almost every day. That daily surplus of generation is the concrete result a prospective buyer will notice first.
Nina Alejos began the process expecting a straightforward solar install, then discovered her home needed both a new electrical panel and a new roof. She connected with Tyler and his team and watched them remain communicative, honest and professional from the first conversations through the finish. Tyler coordinated with the other contractors for the roof and electrical work so she didn't have to manage separate companies, and he avoided the high-pressure tactic of pushing a same-day price that other firms tried. After interviewing several providers, she ended up with a system using high-quality products and the thing that stood out was Tyler’s hands-on coordination of the roof and panel upgrades alongside the solar install—turning a complex project into a smooth, single process.
Dane E. had a ten-year-old SMA Sunny Boy inverter and Sunny Beam monitor that stopped showing an LCD readout and lost its Bluetooth connection. He discovered SMA will only process warranty claims submitted by a solar professional, and his original 2009 installer — who had done a beautiful job — had relocated to Walnut Creek and been bought out; the successor would only respond on an hourly basis including travel, which made that option impractical. After four local companies either refused to work on systems they hadn’t installed or weren’t interested in a small warranty job, he contacted Tyler Rodrigues Electric. They replied promptly, agreed to a service visit for a $100 trip fee plus $100/hour, and quickly diagnosed two simple issues: the Sunny Boy’s front viewing window had become opaque with age, hiding the LCD, and the Sunny Beam Bluetooth module only needed to be reseated. Tyler Rodrigues charged only the $100 trip fee, then emailed SMA in Sacramento on his behalf and secured a warranty replacement cover with a clear viewing window. He appreciated the responsiveness and that the company handled the SMA paperwork — and plans to call them when it’s finally time to replace the

Carolyn finally moved forward with solar after getting a competitive bid from Tyler and his crew, who offered the exact equipment she wanted. Once the team got started, they kept a brisk pace and finished the installation within a few days of permit approval. The process felt smooth and hassle-free — the crew was easy to talk to and cooperative at every step. She appreciated having an electrician involved and thanked Tyler for making the whole job straightforward; the thing that stuck with her was how quickly and simply it all came together.
Jane faced a roof replacement that meant the solar array had to come down, and she asked Tyler to handle the job. He not only removed and reinstalled the panels, he added a few new modules on request to boost the system’s capacity. Tyler moved quickly, explained the work in plain language, and carried out the upgrade with obvious know-how and professionalism. The panels were back online as soon as possible and the final price felt fair. What stuck with her was the combination of the quick turnaround and the decision to upgrade capacity during the same service visit.
