Panel Finished Out.

Many homes in Orange County built in the 1960s were originally equipped with Zinsco electrical panels. These panels use aluminum bus bars instead of copper, making them prone to corrosion and arcing at the breaker connections--which can be a serious fire hazard. On top of that, replacement breakers for these panels cost nearly three times more than standard modern breakers. Rod was recommended to us after he upgraded a friend's panel in Huntington Beach, so we brought him in to replace our old setup with a new 200-amp panel and a generator plug at our home in Costa Mesa. His pricing was very reasonable, and his service was excellent from start to finish. I'd highly recommend Rod to anyone needing panel upgrades or electrical work--professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with.

Rod and his team were great to work with! He actually came for two separate projects and did an outstanding job in both. He's also reasonably priced so I appreciate that a lot. I like Rod's work because he is efficient, correct, and he doesn't take shortcuts in his work. I'm confident that he's doing the best wiring when he's here. I would highly recommend Rod and his team for any electrical work needed.

EXCELLENT service. They were actually able to come out the following day of my request. Rod and his step son were amazing as a team. We had an issue with one of our switches not working and also needed a chandelier hung. Rod was patient and found the problem...fixed . His step son wired and hung the chandelier in our bathroom in no time. . They cleaned any mess that was made. HIGHLY recommend. We will use them again. Thank you!

New exterior lights installed by Rod

Rod was awesome! I hired him to install two exterior lights above my awning for my business. Rod was very professional, friendly, knowledgeable and offered a fair price. The exterior lights turned out great and now potential customers can see the front of my business when they drive by at night. I would highly recommend Rod for anyone that needs an electrician. He used quality parts, and the lights were custom ordered for the job. Whenever I need an electrician again, I will definitely call Rod.

Rod installed a 220 watt outlet in my garage which lets me charge my Nissan Leaf EV. Everything went well and he was very friendly. Highly recommend!

This is where the wire was shorting out.

Rod's Electric "tuned up" our home circuit panel & we can't wait to see how it reduces our electric bill!

Do they patch the holes from their work?

We do, but it depends on the size of the patch. otherwise we refer drywall repairs to a very reasonable and reliable outside vendor to our customers.…

As I was traveling I sent a detailed video with the requirement. They understood the requirement…read moreand charged extra. However, on the day of installation there seems to be internal miscommunication and didn't do the work per my requirements. They did a bad job running the conduit in front of the main door after clarifying in detail. Charged extra to fix the issue. Very disappointed overall.

Hired Rizzo Electric to upgrade a main electric panel, an interior sup-panel, and install an EV…read morecharger plug. I got in just at the tail end of SCE's rebate to install an EV charger when a panel replacement was required. They handled all of the permit processing, the estimate was done entirely with photos over text, and it was honesty about as simple a process as I could hope for. I got pre-qualfied for the SCE rebate but they took over the paperwork and file, meaning my project cost got reduced by the rebate amount which was very helpful for me as well. Work done from my untrained eyes seems top notch, everything was up and working, looked very neat and tidy afterwards. There were up to 4-5 people at my house working for most of the day and everyone was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. They sent out an electrician to meet the permit inspection the next day as well. I noticed that one of the screens over a craw space air vent didn't get reinstalled (they had piped the EV charger cord though it) and even though he was only there for the inspection Andrew got under the house and got that screen installed again correctly, which will help protect the house from rats getting back inside. Really appreciated and shows a full team commitment to getting the job done right. One note, they don't do trenching or wall repair, so you'll need find those services on your own after they work. That's pretty standard I think though. All in all so happy with the whole experience. I'll be recommending them this crew to anyone who asks me in the future.
