Fantastic service! The problem occurred on Friday afternoon. Thought I would either have to pay an exorbitant price for after hour and/or weekend if I could even find someone who would take the job over the weekend. Called several companies some either didn't work in my area or did not return my call. Then I called Retter Electric my call was answered by a real person. First, over the phone, he talked through some things I could do to maybe fix the problem so as not to have to pay for a service charge. When the problem persisted he said he would be there that evening as soon as he could. I was impressed with the professionalism, knowledge of what the problem could be. Every step of the repair was explained to me in a way I could understand. Once the problem was found, the repair was done and my electricity restored. I would highly recommend this company. If I could give a higher then an "A" I would.

Marty was great. His communications were great. He tracked down the problem with the outlets, fixed them and then made sure they were working correctly. Charges were very reasonable. I will definitely will call Retter Electrics next time I have an electrical problem.

Great! I was in a real time crunch. He arrived 15 minutes early and finished 45 minutes earlier than expected. He was friendly, gave great advice about the type of fixtures to use, showed me some hidden settings to change the colors of the new LED lights and cleaned up before he left. Great Job!

Honest. Told me what to do over phone for free — look for and reset gfci. When I tried and didn’t work Marty came out. As soon as he arrived, I found a gfci outlet that I missed. I reset it and power on. Only charged me $50 which would have been less than travel time and gas. Definitely recommend.

He not only found the bad breaker but figured out I had loose connections in the attic and he could have just fixed the one connection but he also checked all the junction boxes in the attic and made sure they were all good I will definitely use him for any future electrical issues

Retter's communication was excellent and quick. Extremely responsive. They arrived on time, did the job well, were very professional, and charged a reasonable price. They did what they said they would when they said they would. I would hire them at any time for any electrical work. Highly recommended.

Great! He is very knowlegable and willing to explain his reasoning.
Description of Work: Put in a new thermostat and checked to see if I needed to move an electric outlet in washroom. I had been told by a big box Home store that this needed to be done to be permitted. As it turns out, that was not true... I am forever greatful for his recommendations and service.

Glad i could take care of your problem on the phone. I would hate to have come over to reset your breaker. Then have to charge for a service call. Thank you for posting this review without me doing any work at your home. Sincerely, Marty

When I got back from vacation I scheduled a day to have Marty complete the work. Yesterday, I called and reconfirmed with him. He said he would be at my house by 8:00 am because the job would take all day. When he hadn't arrived by 8:40, I called him. He said he had had an emergency call (which turned out to be a bathroom exhaust fan that needed wiring) and was trying to finish. He would see me by 9:30. Finally, at 10:15, he arrived. By then I realized the work wouldn't be completed today. I suggested that he do three rooms where I had moved furniture and tried to give him easy access to outlets and switches. He asked me if I wanted the "short cut" installation, or the more secure installation where the wires were wrapped and tied off with caps. The more secure installation would cost me twice as much, bringing the probable cost of the job to $1600 to $2000. There would be an additional charge of approximately $160 for the actual outlets and switches. I had taken notes when we talked in July and I told him that what he was telling me today didn't match the information he had given me in July. I realized that he hadn't given me a written estimate, so it probably didn't matter to him. In fact, I wondered if he was just as happy not to do the work for me. I'm disappointed because I thought I had found a really good electrician.
Description of Work: I had used Marty to replace an outlet under my kitchen sink on July 15, 2015. I was very happy with his work, and I talked to him about updating the outlets and switches in the rest of my house once we were both back from vacation. At the time of our discussion, he gave me a rough verbal estimate saying that the work would probably cost between $900 and $1000. He asked me if I wanted traditional or modern outlets, and said that he would include them in the total cost because they were relatively inexpensive. That seemed like a reasonable amount to spend, and I looked forward to having him complete the work for me.

Marty is truly a professional we had a complete line out because of a burned out plug. He knew exactly where to go to solve the problem We could of had a fire so he recommend to use metal encased power strips for all of our electrical equipment! I plan to use him in the future for any electrical issues.

I chose Renner Electric from the search list mostly because other reviews indicated that Marty was good about explaining what he was doing and why he did it that way. My experience was the same. My expectations for good electrical work stem from years of watching "This Old House" on PBS. Renner Electric meets those expecations. Yes, we will hire Marty again!
Description of Work: Marty installed a number of things needed for the renovation of an older condo: 220 service in the kitchen for a stove; quiet vent fans in the two bathrooms and laundry closet; laid wire for eventual additional circuits; and added a whole-house surge protector to our panel.

It went well. I called yesterday to set up an appointment and he arrived on time this afternoon. He's friendly and professional, and I plan to hire him again.
Description of Work: He replaced a disposal/dishwasher plug under my kitchen sink. We also talked about replacing the rest of the plugs and light switches in my 37 year old house, and he gave me a rough estimate on how much that would cost.

After replacing the ceiling fan and entry hall light (which went well), I asked Marty about replacing all the recessed lights in our house to the LED recessed lights that come with a new canister. I thought it would be a complicated process, but he took a recessed light down and showed me how to do it and also told me what to order. I really appreciated his honesty in showing me how to do it myself, instead of charging me to do the job. When looking to hire people who work inside my house, my highest priority is having someone who is trustworthy. Marty's wife is a librarian and he has a young daughter, and i felt very comfortable having him in my house.
Description of Work: Marty install a ceiling fan in my daughter's bedroom and replaced the entry hall light (very high ceiling). I also used him about two years ago to replace the hanging light fixtures in my kitchen and dining room.

Marty rewired our 1925 house completely with not one hole made in our walls,floors, and/or baseboards. Marty spoke with myself and my husband at length before the start of the project and really thought out everything before he started. After rewiring our 3,000 square foot house he replaced multiple light fixtures and even showed me how to oil and fix our old door locks. Marty is a true craftsman that we would hire again in a heart beat!

Superb service! Marty explained what he was doing, let me make choices rather than deciding for me, and graciously let me change my mind. Price was fair.

Provider came out the same day he was called. He was very thorough in his search for cause of the open circuit, carefully explaining his reasoning as he went from the breaker box to plug boxes and light switches. Before he could complete the search, however, the circuit unexpectedly re-energized. He helped me decide that the best strategy, in terms of my cost, would be to wait for the problem to occur again since he had narrowed the potential problem areas. On that basis, I intend to call him again if and when that happens.

The work went perfectly. The electrician showed up to provide a quote at exactly the day/time agreed, and showed up promptly on the day work was done. Service was friendly and professional, and the guys had no qualms about answering any questions and organizing the layout to meet my needs. Would definitely recommend.
Description of Work: The provider added two new 110 volt, 20 amp circuits with three outlets each and one 220/30 circuit to the garage. Work involved pulling an electrical permit, placing conduit, wire, and receptacles, and adding and adjusting circuit breakers.
