About us

Rick Thompson Electric is a family owned business that was started in 1981 by my father. When dad decided to retire and after working for him for more than 15 years, I decided to buy the company in 2005 to keep the name in the family. Still a family owned and operated business, we continue to provide excellent service to our customers. All of our employees go through a complete background check and attend a 4 year apprenticeship program to ensure you are always provided with a quality and knowledgeable electrician on all jobs. You can feel confident knowing your in good hands with Rick Thompson Electric. Additional Web address - www.bbbxpress.com/rick_thompson_electric_inc.

Description of Work: They set up and installed a generator plug that will run our house appliances, heat and lights when the power goes out and they also installed another electric plug. They said they would arrive at 0730 and were ringing the door bell at 0730. They were fast, professional and did a great job! They have won over our future business and I highly recommend them!

Description of Work: My light fixture in my pantry died and I needed someone to install a new one. Thompson Electric sent someone out who put in a temporary replacement until I found a new fixture, and then came back to install the replacement quickly and perfectly. They were pleasant and professional.

Description of Work: I came home after work to a dead refrigerator. I checked the fuse box; no popped switches, but for some reason I stopped there, so had no refrigeration overnight; turned out it was the GFI outlet near my sink, and it wouldn't stay on. The next morning I was referred to Rick Thompson Electric by my neighbors, and spoke to Rich Thompson (son?). Two members of his crew fit me in the same day, stayed in touch to let me know when they were coming, checked everything out, replaced the outlet, and also fixed two other lights (one over my washer/dryer and one on my deck) that had stopped working, both of which required parts. They took the time to give me some advice on a couple of future projects as well. They were completely friendly and professional, had all the tools and parts they needed, and didn't need to call and check in with the office every two minutes (a major pet peeve of mine). I thought the price was very fair. No "emergency" charges, yet they were there within a few hours of my call. They never made me feel as though they were doing me a favor by squeezing me in, nor did I feel they were rushing through the jobs. I'll use them again.

Description of Work: I needed several "minor" electrical problems fixed involving non-working and "buzzing" light sockets. This team got a lot of work done in a short period of time, and in a professional manner, and at the prices quoted. I would definitely use this company again.
