Chris did an awesome job installing the outlets on the new circuit. He was on time, efficient, and cleaned up afterwards. He is very professional and courteous. This was my second time dealing with Chris and Rader Electric, and I was not disappointed again. I will continue to use them going forward for any electrical needs.

Chris tried his best to identify the source of the issue creating the light switches in the garage to have no power. I'm pretty sure he took apart and put back every possibly outlet and switch that could on have been on the circuit, but the issue could not be found. He was able to still repair the issue as he used another working light switch to feed the power to the one that was not working. Chris was on-time, very professional, and performed his due diligence to try to resolve the actual issue before going with the alternate option. I will definitely be planning to call these guys for future electrical needs.

Moved a pre-scheduled date up because another electrician told me I had a big problem (my sixth sense doubted this diagnosis), and if I did have a big problem I needed to know because I was about to have some painting done in the exact area where these 4-way light switches all reside. Chris came out right away and fixed the single faulty switch box in less than 12 minutes. In addition, he took the time to review 5 upcoming electrical/electrician needs and a written quote for these prospective services was delivered via mail to my house less than 3 days later. I will use them for some of the quoted future work. Efficient, professional, fairly priced. Can't ask for more. Thank you Rader Electric.

We sold our house and there were a couple of things we needed to have corrected before closing and they came in and fixed them for us. Radar Electric is really really good. Excellent in every way. We've used them a few times. They have excellent service, they don't have a long waiting time, fully licensed electricians so you pay accordingly but you know your getting the job done right and in a timely manner.
Description of Work: They had to close the box in the basement that was open. They added in an additional line on the power box. They had to fix some faulty wiring to the four way light switches that were upstairs. We had them install ceiling fans also.

Shel the owner came out and was super friendly, giving me a fair estimate for the work we'd planned. He had good suggestions for how to implement the installation of our new lights and outlets. We accepted the estimate and got scheduled for later in the week. His electrician Chris came out and got to work. He did a really good job making sure the lights were positioned exactly as we wanted, and did a really good job with the install. Afterwards, he cleaned up very thoroughly. I would recommend Rader Electric to all my family and friends - they are the best electricians I've ever used.
Description of Work: Installed four new LED light light fixtures in my den ceiling, and new electrical outlets in the wall.

I had an issue with my master bathroom outlets and two of the lights no longer working. I had checked the circuit breaker, etc. and saw no issues. The address/phone on the circuit breaker in the basement had info for a company that was currently on vacation, so I called this place based on Angie's List reviews and location to my home. I couldn't have been happier with the call. The person that answered the phone was cordial, pleasant, professional and stepped me through a possible fix (which DID work) before he took a trip out to my home. I would definitely call this person again for my electrical needs and we discussed the possibility of putting in an external 220 outlet outside my home in the future. Very pleasant, knowledgeable, and had a great attitude towards me, as a confused customer with a problem. Very happy.
Description of Work: Stepped me through a process, over the phone, to fix a possible GFCI issue in my master bathroom.

Shel was prompt the day he came to give us a quote. He was very patient while we proceeded to email ideas back and forth and add and subtract work that we were considering to have done. The day the job started Shel arrived with his electrician to introduce him to the job and make sure we were all on the same page before the work commenced. The electrician was neat and tidy, a good problem solver, and executed the tasks as we had planned. This was a very positive experience and I'd be thrilled to be able work with them again.

This is a difficult review because of the unknown factors in my outdoor wiring: there are numerous outlets and lights throughout the fairly long property. The electrician had to try to trace down wires and connections that were underground and to figure out where they went. He used a couple different voltage devices but we couldn't get any definitive results. He did explain to me up-front and during the process that this may be the case and I believe he did almost everything he could to try to solve the puzzle (see next paragraph). We never got anything working, though, so it almost spent like I spent the money for nothing, however I do have a better understanding of the whole system now. The electrician seemed to know his stuff just fine (though I was surprised I thought of a couple things he didn't) and was very professional. There were 2 things that I thought could have helped solve the problem and I'm wondering why they didn't have these: 1) A metal detector to trace the wires from the garage to various places in the lawn. 2) Some type of device that could "buzz" both ends of the wires to find the connection. I will research these things and update my review accordingly. The reason I rate the company a "B" is because of the above. I checked "Yes" to use them again because I do believe they know their stuff so I'd use them for a specific task without unknowns. I also thought the "service call" fee ON TOP OF the hourly was high -- I thought the first hour is usually included but I didn't research that.
Description of Work: I bought a house last year that had a number of outdoor plugs and lights that didn't work. These were not explained by the homeowner (even though he was supposed to) and I had Rader come in to figure out how they were wired, what the issues were, and hopefully to get them to work.

Response from Rader Electric Co Inc
This a difficult review to respond to as it references an estimate I provided one year ago and is very much out of character for me. I would ask that members read the posts of others before making a decision. I can say from my notes that this member contacted me on a Monday last July and we scheduled a date for a quote on my day off as that was the closest date available. I provided that quote on the next business day. the member gave me a verbal laundry list of items she wanted a quote on including GFCI kitchen circuits, install a paddle fan, several repairs, install new fluorescent closet light, add switches etc. I provided a quote for this work including an electrical permit and city inspection. It is very hard to believe that my price was triple others for the same scope of work from a licensed electrician. I am sorry if I caused this member any dissatisfaction however I find nothing in my notes concerning this quote that would reflect her comments. Shel Rader

The electrician arrived on time. He was courteous and well-prepared. The work went quickly, and was completed within an hour and a half. Our previous electrical company had been performing badly and, after this work, we intend to use Rader for all our electrical work.
Description of Work: We had an old multi-plug panel in our kitchen. This failed, and Rader came in to remove the old unit, replace it with new GCI plugs, and put in a new breaker in our main circuit panel to handle the amperage load correctly.

ceiling fans, electrician
  + 0 more
They were excellent. The electrician was very professional and even recommended that we install the exterior outlet since the interior walls were removed. His installation of the ceiling fan wiring was especially impressive. I came home expecting to find multiple holes in the ceiling since running a drop from the closest wire would have needed to run thru a roof joist. We had intentionally held off getting a drywall quote until after the wiring was completed so that we could include the ceiling repair in the quote. Instead the electrician ran the wiring along a path that was 3-4x longer but ran along the joist. He ended up needing just one hole that was less than 1/2" in diameter and almost impossible to see from the floor. I was very impressed.
Description of Work: Radar rewired 2 bedrooms and 2 bathroom running all new wiring from drops installed in an earlier stage of the renovation. They also installed a bathroom fan, repaired some circuits, installed an outside outlet, and ran wiring for a ceiling fan. The wiring for the fan was especially tricky because the great room has a flat shed roof so the electrician had to run the wire blind for 10-15 feet across the ceiling.
