Rick is amazing, I will never use another electrician as long as I stay in this area! He was able to get out quickly, fixed my problems, and even came up with a creative solution to help work around some DIY design challenges. He was great to talk to, laughed at my jokes, and gave my dog lots of love. Thank you again Rick, I’m looking forward to having you back soon!!

I cannot recommend Rick enough. He was super responsive, showed up when we asked, and completed the project expertly, making adjustments when we changed our minds along the way about where we wanted different things. Honestly, I have never seen a tradesman work as hard as Rick works, and his hourly rate is very reasonable. I felt like we got a remarkably good value, and I will call Rick for all future electrical work.

Rick set a date and time for his work. He arrived on-time, as communicated. He replaced the two existing light fixtures (about 15 feet high) with LED high bay lights. This required removal of the old round electrical boxes and the installation of new rectangular boxes with plug receptacles. He then hung the bay lights from new hooks that he had supplied and plugged them in. We were very pleased with his service.

He came out and try to do it on the outside, he never got it right the first time and he never filled in the holes on the fireplace. He just assumed and cut off all the chains and wires.

Response from Rick Kittle Electric
This is an unfair review that I spoke to the homeowner about. I did not cut off any wires and the job was done correctly. My job was to install electrical work and it was understood that the homeowner would fill in the fireplace holes.

Response from Rick Kittle Electric
** A CAVEAT AND NOTE TO ANGIE'S LIST SUBSCRIBERS: I did not do any electrical work for this person and he is basing his "F" rating on my not responding to his messages ** [Member Name Removed], I am truly sorry that I did not contact you via e-mail or phone. I was out of town twice in late November-December to travel to NY, as my mother is dealing with a serious illness that had her hospitalized during that time. Obviously I let your e-mail and phone calls/texts fall through the cracks, and for that I apologize. It is not my way of doing business and there is no excuse for it. December was an extremely busy month with work and this personal issue I was dealing with, and I obviously dropped the ball with you. My work speaks for itself and I have many satisfied clients, so if you need work done in the future, I hope you can give me another chance to rectify matters. I Again, my deepest apologies. I saw your review was posted on Christmas Day - it put a damper on an otherwise festive occasion - but regardless, I hope you had a great holiday season and Happy [Member Information Removed] Year to you!

I needed the work to be done the week before Christmas. Despite soliciting estimates and attempting to schedule an electrician over a month in advance, I was having trouble finding someone who could do the work that week. Rick proposed splitting the work over two days so that he could fit me into his existing schedule, with the understanding that he might have to take a break to go do another estimate. I appreciated his willingness to be flexible and help me out (we were doing most of the work at a new home we had just built, and couldn't move in until it had been completed). All installations went according to plan and met my expectations for speed and quality of work. The work was done over the course of two days. On day 1, Rick's helper Mike handled most of the fan and light installations; on day 2, Rick finished the fan and light installations and installed the whole-house surge suppressor. Both Rick and Mike were very experienced, knowledgeable, easy to work with, and professional in the way they approached the job. I've added Rick's company to my standing list of home maintenance contractors that I depend upon.
Description of Work: Install ceiling fans, install chandelier, install bath vanity light fixtures, install ceiling light fixtures, install whole-house surge suppressor (spread over two houses in the same general area).

He is my go-to guy for electrical. The cost wasn’t much. He has done other things for me to straighten out some confusing wiring in my old house. He has gotten things safe. I see things when I am working on projects that I don’t think are safe, so I call him in and he gets it all sorted out. Give him a call and try him out, he does good work. He is just one man in a truck, he is not very expensive and he knows what he is doing.
Description of Work: He helped to rework some wiring in my screen porch so I could install a ceiling fan. We had a little bit of a jumbled-up mess in the old house for the wiring to an oil light fixture in the ceiling of the screen porch. He straightened out the wiring, got the grounding and everything safe, so that I could actually hang the ceiling fan myself.

Rick did a great job! He was punctual, professional, courteous. We agreed on wiring 3 rooms for lights and ceiling fans; however, when i asked him if he could also install a ceiling fan in the living (for an additional fee), Rick didn't hesitate to take on that task. I would like to point out that Rick is very detail oriented and knowledgeable. When he ran into an issue with the ceiling fan, Rick didn't give up and worked on the issue until it was fixed. In a few words i would describe my experience with Rick as: professional, reasonable pricing, great customer service!

Rick was prompt with communication, easy to reach, quick to give quote. Work was done very professionally, left job site clean and free of dirt, wall smudges, etc. Stayed longer than Rick anticipated; stayed as long as needed to get job completed. (Odd existing wiring required extra parts and time, not anticipated) I would not hesitate to use Rick again tomorrow, nor hesitate to give full recommendation to someone else.

Rick was wonderful to work with. He showed up on time and after walking through the rooms and going over the job he said he thought 6 can lights would be better downstairs due to the size of the room. We had originally only thought of doing 4 and he said the only extra cost would be the lights themselves and there would be no additional labor. I agreed and he was right! The 6 cans look amazing and the fan in the middle does as well. Rick did his best to minimize the holes needed to install the lights and did his best to patch the holes needed to run the wire. The upstairs fan wiring and install was more of the same! Great work and quality. Rick worked his tail off to finish the job that day and never sacrificed quality. We will use Rick again in the future for any electrical work we need done.
Description of Work: Wired/installed 6 can lights and a ceiling fan with light kit in a downstairs room(with a room above it) that had no overhead lighting. Wired/installed a ceiling fan in an upstairs bedroom(with attic access) that had no overhead lighting.

ick was very professional and responsive. I sent him an email about an estimate regarding the work I wanted done and he responded quickly. Compared to other electrical services his price was on the lower end of the spectrum and he received really good reviews. So I decided to have him do the work. He called the night before and checked to be sure everything was still going to happen, which I really appreciate. He showed up the next day on time. Before he did any work he checked things over and talked to me about what needed to be done. There was a slight problem w/the room in how it was centered (or not so centered) that I hadn't really noticed before. Anyway, he did his best to minimize holes in the wall and ceiling. He did a great job. The light fixture in the ceiling looks great. When he was finished he cleaned up. Overall, he installed wiring so that we could have an overhead light where none was before (and no wiring), he installed a walk through or 3-way light switch and also installed another switch. He did a quality job at a low price. During the time he was here (which was maybe 3 hours) he was very professional and friendly. I highly recommend Rick.
