On call-24 Hours Emergency Service
I purchased the deal from Rio Salado Electric ~ $69 for service call and one hour of labor. I called on Friday afternoon and received an appointment for Monday morning. The 4 light fixtures were replaced within the hour time frame and the gentlemen completing the work were very friendly, honest and efficient. I will definitely use Rio Salado for any further electric work I need done.

The work went well but cost a little more then I thought. It took a good three and half to 4 hours so it was probably a reasonable amount.

Recently moved into an older home. I took advantage of Rio Salado's $69 offer and was very pleased with the outcome. Between Larry and his associate, they wired the ceiling fan and put in the switches with no issues. I will be calling them again for more work I need done.

It ended up going well and Larry is very nice. My water heater is only 1 1/2 years old but it is not brand new or fancy. It has an electric panel with lights on top and I was told he had never seen one like that. Luckily it looked like it was just the wire needing to be capped. It was fixed fine but I didn't ask for the other repairs I needed. Also, where my problems were located is a semi tight space and that was another uncomfortable factor. Seems like a good place for small repairs. Also, the quote to install fire alarms was outrageous. More than $200 over my previous estimate.

Larry, who I believe is the owner was very responsive in getting back to me from my initial request. He called with a time to schedule, I couldn't make as it conflicted with my work schedule. He said he would call me back in the next couple days, which he did. He was able to schedule someone to come out within a day or two. The day of the service: there was a bit of a delay on our scheduled time, however Larry did call and give me a heads up rather than having me wait wondering where they were. Two electricians arrived right about the time Larry said they would. I showed them what I wanted done and discussed a couple additional options I was still undecided about. One being adding a switch or not. Another option would be to run power to two wall fans, which I have not installed. We determined the power to the fans could be completed after I decide on the fans. Both electricians were cordial and seemed to have made great use of the time. I got exactly what I wanted: a garage door that is not on the exterior light circuit and outlet power for hand tools. I think the price was fair and I will call Rio Salado Electric again for any additional electrical work.
Description of Work: I had the wiring in my garage redone. The garage door had been connected to the same circuit that operated my exterior lighting. This meant I had to leave my lights on in order to open the garage door. On the outside wall of the garage, we found an outlet that was on on the same circuit as the switch. A hole was drilled through the garage wall which fed a new wire to the interior. The new electrical wire was then mounted to the unfinished framed garage wall (no dry wall). A 4 plug outlet was added. A motion light on the exterior of the garage had been incorrectly wired, which they rewired with metal conduit. Another wire was mounted on the ceiling and powered the garage door. All wire was placed inside metal conduit.

I recently had an electrical outlet installed in my garage. Larry from Rio Salado Electric arrived on time and ready to do the installation. there were some challenges to the job because of where I wanted the outlet, but Larry came thru in true professional fashion. The job was completed quickly and professionally. I would definitely use Rio Salado Electric for my electrical needs in the future.

The experience with Rio Salado Electric went very well. He broke our ladder and gave us a loaner while he was fixing it. He went above and beyond I think. He was very easy to work, he was very chatty when he was here and I wished he would have talked less but over all we were very pleased with what he did. He wasn't able to center the chandelier but that was fine.

Larry arrived exactly on time at 7:00 am. They dug a trench approximately 25 feet long from the house to the ramada. Layed the conduit and wire into the trench. Ran conduit up the corner of the house and punched through in the attic in a descrete location. Ran conduit into the rafters of the ramada and did a great job of conceling the conduit from view. Installed 3 separate circuits, each ground-fault protected. Completed the wiring for the ceiling fan and two other outlets that had to be pre-wired curing the construction phase of the ramada. What I liked about Larry is that: 1) he was on site and working, 2) Larry is a straight-shooter 3) Larry offered lots of suggestions on how to enhance the installation that I had not thought of, 4) after putting in 23 hours on site, at times with 4 guys there, the final bid was exactly as quoted.
Description of Work: Ran 3 separate cicuits from my electrical panel, through the attic, down the opposite corner of the house from the panel, under ground and into our recently constructed ramada. Installed 5 duplex outlets.

I contacted Rio Salado Electric to fix an outlet/breaker on a Sunday afternoon. I moved my home office into my dining nook, in preparation to having my home office tiled. When I plugged in the power strip to the only outlet in my dinning nook, it popped the breaker. which knocked all the power to my dining nook & 1/2 of my kitchen. This happened on a Sunday afternoon. I work from home and needed my computer equipment up and running by Monday Morning. Other electric companies I contacted wouldn't be able to show up for several days, or even a week. I was extremely relieved when Rio Salado Electric was able to come out that day, even though it was a Sunday. He found that the breaker was bad, and replaced it checked my other outlets to make sure there weren't any other issues.

See the explanation already given.
Description of Work: We had a series of five smoke alarms in the house, and even when replaced, one kept alarming without any smoke. We needed an electrician to check the house wiring and circuitry. They came promptly the next day and isolated and resolved the problem within 15 minutes. We took advantage of the coupon they offered on Angie's list. We have kept their contact info and will call them if we have future need for an electrician. The service techs were very helpful in answering questions and explaining their work.

There was no power to the water heater. We bought the deal on Angie's List $69 for service call & one hour labor and called Rio Salado right when they opened. They had a full schedule but said would fit us in today around 3pm give or take an hour. Clayton called at 3 to say he would be there in half an hour. He arrived right on time. My first impression was that he knew exactly what he was doing and I felt confident in his skill. He and his helper were very professional, got right to work. Clayton suggested going in through the garage rather than inside the house which made a lot of sense but hadn't occurred to me. He was friendly & was not bothered by me asking questions. It took less than 10 minutes for Clayton to test & determine the cause was a failed circuit breaker. He had to get the part. Installation of the new circuit breaker took less than 10 minutes as well. Also I told him our central heat wasn't working he confirmed heat/ac unit was getting power so that was not the problem. Also gave me rough estimates for future work.
Description of Work: Diagnosed lack of power to water heater. Replaced circuit breaker.

Two electricians showed for this simple task but the price was preset at $69 for one hour. If the job would have required more than 1 hour, I would not have paid for two people to do a job that one person could do. I will use this company again with that stipulation.

The work moved along at a good pace and progressed to a successful conclusion--no delays. The technicians were professional and did an excellent job
Description of Work: An electrical outlet appeared to have tripped a circuit breaker, but after repeated attempts of switching the breaker back and forth was at a loss as to the cause of the problem so called Rio Salado. They arrived at the time specified and after some investigation determined there was a defective connection in an old electrical outlet box that had been sheet-rocked over in an earlier renovation. Clayton and Juan located the hidden outlet, cut into tje wall and made the necessary corrections to restore service to that circuit. After completing the re-wire, everything put back and cleaned up.

I requested an electrician to just change a dryer plug - estimated to be less than an hour of work. They committed to next day at a specific time. When the person had not shown up an hour after the appointed time, I called and was told that the previous job was taking much longer than anticipated and they could try to get out in the afternoon. With a tight schedule of other actions, I cancelled the request and obtained services from another. I cannot speak to their work. The person booking was pleasant and polite, but the dependability would be unacceptable. I expected to at least get a phone call telling me they would be delayed or to reschedule.

I have a rental property that lost power late on a Friday afternoon, I "Googled" Electrician, Chandler and called 4 or 5 of the prominent electricians on the front page, Rio Salado was the only company that actually answered and gave me a sense of professionalism over the phone that my problem was now their problem. I spoke to Larry, the owner of Rio Salado and he assured me someone would be out to the house within the hour. Clayton showed up about 40 minutes later, he explained the house was 21 years old and so was the panel box, he called Larry & confirmed the price he was able to give me. As Clayton replaced the panel change out, two of the original five companies called me back.. when I told them I needed a new panel I got quotes for 2200 & 2550 over the phone.. Rio Salado completed the work for $1900. I would recommend Larry and Rio Salado to any homeowner looking for a fair and honest solution to their electrical problem. I can't thank them enough for handling my problem on a Friday night and making my renter happy with power & A.C.
