I had to go through an inspection to get new home owners insurance on my duplex. During the initial inspection, I did not pass. I made sure that Rayco got a hold of the inspector so that they can do exactly what needed to be done to meet code requirements. The inspector came and it still did not pass inspection, even though Rayco was told exactly what was needed to be done. When I called Rayco to let them know, they said it was up to code and that they would look into it and get back to me. Later that day, they got back to me and said they contacted the person that did the work and they claimed everything was up to code. I ended up calling another electrical company who also spoke with the inspector before performing the work. The inspector came after the second company and we finally passed. I do not recommend Rayco.

My appointment was for 11 AM it is now 1:45 and they still aren't here. I had to call to find out if they were still coming. was told by 2PM. Mind you my appointment was for last week and they changed it it to today. Very unprofessional.

Response from Rayco Electric Inc
Unfortunately, we were late for this appointment. Sometimes, our Service Crews are delayed due to prior jobs. This is not the "Norm" for Rayco Electric but as I stated sometime it does happen. We work for every hard to achieve 100% customer satisfaction and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused this customer.

Called Rayco, Explained exactly what I needed, Two technicians arrive and tell me they do not have the wire to complete the job. They (both of them ) climb back in the truck and disappear for an hour and 10 min and returned from Home Depot (the wire still had the HD Tape) they started on the job , Next they come to me and ask if I have any bolts, they broke one and don’t have one in the truck , I had one and they finished the job They give me a bill for 2 ½ hours. I complained about paying for time for both of them to drive to HD. He explained to me that I could not expect him to carry every kind of wire (or bolts) the job was done fine but you are warned if you do not live next to Home Depot expect your bill to double.
Description of Work: Replaced a wire between meter and Breaker box

Response from Rayco Electric Inc
We received a call from Mr. [Member Name Removed] and responded within 2 hours. Mr. [Member Name Removed] described his electrical issue to the best of his ability. When our service technicians arrived it was determined that Mr. [Member Name Removed] had a 225amp service which takes 3/0 wire which is a larger size wire than we expected. Typically, our Service Crews do not carry 3/0 wire. Our Service technicians came to our completely stocked warehouse to get the 3/0 wire and lug that needed to be replaced. [Member Name Removed]'s statement that we "returned from Home Depot" is 100% FALSE. We do not purchase wire or lugs from Home Depot. Our goal is 100% customer satisfaction. Unfortunately, over the past 38 years, every now and then, a customer is dissatisfied with our pricing. Sincerely, B. Scott, Service Manager

Big F for this company. I did not end up using their service, for a reason. I have an electrical issue at my rental condo in Sarasota. I called Rayco based on the good reviews of the members. Big mistake. Called them to set up an appointment. They confirmed with my tenant. They asked for my credit card information, billing address and everything. I gave them all they need. I was told since they don't know what issue it was it could take an hour or all day. At the beginning they said it is $95 dollars an hour and later told me because they suspected it was a wiring issue so they would need to send two people, at a rate of $140 an hour. I said find. I asked the electricians to call me if they have not fixed the issue within an hour. I am not going to be at the service call so I need them to call me to know how it is going and how long they estimate it would take. Normal, right? And I have never had any other providers say no to this. Mentioned I am an Angie's list member and the 10% discount they have running. They ask me to email them the coupon. Now that is a first. Usually the providers would give the discount promptly at the mention of the coupon. Begin to feel an little bit of arrogance from Rayco there. I decided to still go forward based on the good reviews from the members. A day later I got a voicemail from a lady named Helen saying she is putting my service call on hold because she overheard my conversation with the service rep and is not sure why they should have their guys call me after an hour. She said in the voicemail that she is not sending her guys down to Sarasota to trouble shoot. Yes, I still have her voicemail. I was very upset by this as I went through all the trouble to schedule with them and my tenant. They are just kicking and screaming for me to take my business elsewhere. So I did take it somewhere else. When I called Rayco to cancel my appointment I decided to talked to Helen. She said she is the controller. I simply asked her if she has someone fixing things at her home, would she ask the service guy what the problem is and how long it will take to fix it. She did not have an answer to that. Now she said that the other service rep failed to tell me that they start calculating time from the time their electricians leave the building. Now that is a first. If this company did not have good reviews on Angies list I would have thought this is a con company. Frankly, this is the most frustrating experience I have ever had with a service provider. I cannot believe Angies List lists this company as a super service provider. The lady also transferred me to the owner's voicemail. I left him a voicemail and the owner never bothered to call me back. Something is going on within that company that probably would destroy it in the process. As a controller a good thing to remember is that if there is no revenue there is no profit.

Bob and Paul were here for 3 and a half hours which I thought was quick. They did a great job for what I considered a very reasonable price. It cost $332.5 in total. One place I asked for an estimate quoted over $700.00. It'S always wise to get at least three quotes. I would go with Rayco again if I needed something else done.
Description of Work: I had 5 Ceiling fans and two Pendant lights installed.

A friend walked trough my home after the rough in. He knows what he is talking aout and he said "oh my....these boys are pros!" Quality work, quality service, fair price
Description of Work: I had the project(s) bid by three different companies. I chose Rayco because the man bidding the job, Barney Scott, was the only one that understood the wiring of my 1950 home. He was opening a decrepit receptacle and it sparked. The realtor and myself jumped, Barney didn't even flinch.Experience.....this was my team. the project was almost an entire rewiring. The heavy lifting was done by Phil and Pete - both pros in their professions but even better, pros with their service. I had many questions and frequently needed advice. No problems for these two guys. I highly recommend Rayco Dave Lynch

Bob and Carlton arrived on time as scheduled. Both were very polite, professional and respectful to us and our home. They went over the job with us after they finished to make sure the job was done to our satisfaction, which it was. We would recommend Rayco Electric (Bob & Carlton) and would hire them back for future jobs.

Rayco just left and they did a marvelous job of installing four Hi Hats in our office. We have used Rayco over the years and no one can come close to their professionalism, knowledge, and service. My husband knows how do do many electrical jobs, he also knows who to hire when he can't or doesn't want to do the job. From the first time we used Rayco in 2000, until now, their quality has not changed. Reasonable prices. Would highly recommend.
