Overall, I was pretty happy with Rory. I just moved into a newly remodeled house that had some questionable electrical construction - I am a fairly skilled mechanic, but never would have figured out what was going on. Rory rolled up his sleeves, spent some serious time diagnosing what was wrong, and was able to fix 4 out of my 5 problems in just one visit. 1. Showed up on time. 2. There was good communication. 3. Had a well above average skill level - 35 plus years of experience. 4. Was able to fix other people's mistakes. Guy is tenacious - he will get to the bottom of your problem. 5. Charges a reasonable rate. I felt good about the work he did and the price I paid. 6. Nice guy. 7. Cleaned up after himself. 8. Trustworthy - at one point, I had to go to Home Depot and pick up parts while he was working. I felt totally comfortable leaving him by himself in my home. I try to give specifics. This guy is legit. read more

Rory arrived at expected time, worked efficiently, and answered my questions about residential electrical work. He demonstrated how to identify a circuit, how to replace receptacles, including wiring technique. Solid work. read more

Excellent work by Rory! Sent a Quote through Yelp app. Rory got back to me within minutes. His quote and estimated time to do the job was way better than others. He replaced my very old exterior light with a new one I found at Home Depot. He replaced the mounting bracket too. Rory is super nice and organized. He is Licensed and bonded (see his website). I paid him through Zelle (he takes checks too). I will definitely use Rory again when I need electrical work. Thanks! read more

Rory installed a Tesla wall charger for me at a very competitive price and a gfci outlet in the garage. He's very knowledgeable about what he does. You cannot go wrong with hiring him. read more

Rory was fantastic. Friendly, punctual and provided excellent service. Would use and recommend again.

I was slowly upgrading our home's outlets and switches to more modern Decora designs and getting GFCI outlets where required. There were two areas that my DIY knowledge was challenged. Our master bathroom which had a 1-gang outlet but was STUFFED with wires to the point I considered it unsafe, and our kitchen's 3-gang switch/outlet that was just a mess. I decided to call an expert and very happy I called Rory. He came by the following Monday afternoon and listened to what I had to say and then examined the problem boxes. He got to work. Not only did he successfully install the GFCI outlets and new switches, he trimmed the box volumes of excess wire and optimized the wiring. Everything looked great. His rates are super competitive (especially for a licensed electrician with his experience) and I do not second guess calling him first! read more

Rory was so great! Sent a request through Yelp and Rory was quick to respond and schedule a visit. He helped identify the best outlet to use to charge my car and gave a very reasonable quote to install a Level 2 charger. He was very friendly and patiently answered all my questions. I ended up deciding not to get the Level 2 yet but will definitely reach out to Rory for that project or any other electrical work. read more

Rory was great! Excellent communication, courteous, did the job quickly and i now have working light fixtures in both bathrooms! Would happily call on him again for electrical needs! read more

I would definitely recommend Rory. His pricing is completely in line and the quality of work was exceptional. Good person definitely would recommend them. read more

I contacted Rory with a seemingly straightforward request - I have a circuit that gets overloaded frequently and need to figure out how to increase capacity or change what outlets are on the circuit. Two days later I received a 3 word reply - "unable to service". I followed up asking for clarification (should I be targeting a specific kind of electrician? Is he just too busy?) and have not gotten a response. I'm glad those that have used him are happy, but my experience upfront has been less than ideal. read more

I needed an additional outlet added to my garage for a garage freezer. Rory handled it no problem and seemed to work quick and efficiently. I was pleasantly surprised with the price as I had a previous quote for significantly higher from another company earlier in the week. read more

Rory came to look at the old doorbell and recommended what needed to be done to install new ring doorbell; he was flexible to accommodate my schedule; read more

Everyone Deserves a Reliable Electrician Rory Higgins is that reliable electrician. If I could only hire veterans, then I would! I have the highest respect for the veterans. They are patriots, honest, disciplined & reliable. Rory learned everything he knows in the Air Force where he was working on sensitive projects. Rory has been my electrician for a long time. He has had his business for 4 decades. He knows what the hell he is doing! He is not the type of contractor who puts Shiite on Shingles & does a Tijuana Style of patch job! He is detail oriented, trouble shooter & reasonable in cost. This time around, I needed him to replace a sensor motion detector outdoor double light in the driveway, install a new double floodlight in the patio, create a new outdoor metal pipeline covered line to the floodlight, create a GFCI outdoor outlet & line to the BBQ island & outdoor refrigerator, create a separate outdoor GFCI outlet, switch & line to the outdoor lights in the patio (separate the lines to distribute the weight), uninstall an old rusted hanging outdoor light in the patio & cap, cup & cover the wires, also replace a couple of old outlets in my office. So, I waited for all of these electrical jobs to pileup & then I called him to schedule me. Rory is a decent, softspoken good man. Right away he scheduled me as soon as he could which was pretty fast. He showed up in the morning & tackled all of these tasks, one by one until afternoon when he was done. In the 90 Degree heat, I sat outside & watched him work for hours when I could easily go inside & allow him to be alone. He was already heat exhausted from his past 2 jobs in prior days. It was so hot that he used 2 fans to not overheat! I observe my contractors for a few reasons: I. To make sure they do not screw up my house. II. To learn something from them. III. To evaluate their work, so I can write accurate, informative reviews. I hire a lot of contractors & I try to do my research, background check, BBB, licensing, consumer report & read reviews before hiring them, so primarily I do not end up with a lemon or worse, a contractor from hell! In addition, I do my contractor investigations, so you don't have to do it; therefore, when you read my reviews, you can hire the reliable contractors with a peace of mind. What I notice about Rory is that: A) He uses top notch material He uses proper metal pipeline for outdoor & even indoor (read my last review when he done my garage), metal casing & reliable parts. B) Right away he trouble-shoots the problem Due to experience, he precisely or approximately pinpoints the problem right away. There was a short in my patio. Sometimes when it rained, the lights & the refrigerator in the island popped out & I had to reset the GFCI outlet in the kitchen where they were connected to, so they would pop back in & work after the rain. Rory took care of that issue by separating the lights & island lines & getting both of them off of the kitchen GFCI; however, as soon as he looked at the situation, he made a logical guess that the old rusted hanging outdoor light is more likely the root cause of the problem, so I told him to eliminate it. He took it off, trashed it & capped the wires & close cupped it. C) He is detail oriented Rory works fast but he takes his time to do a thorough job. Every single task which he does is done right. For instance, the way that he bends the pipe covers, connects the joints, silicones the connections, & comes up with ideas to secure the circuits. D) He is honest Rory always states that he does the job right, the first time, so he can go home with a clear conscience. He doesn't cut corners, makes sure the job is done right the first time & he primarily gives you an approximate estimate of the cost. Rory done the job right, done it fast & gave me a special discount. I usually come up with the best contractors in each field. I know Rory very well. He does super work with ethics & reasonable prices. He is a knowledgeable electrician with work ethics. He surely passed my perfectionist taste & test, many times over. Hiring him will not be regretful. Rory Higgins knows his job well. read more

Excellent service, very friendly and efficient. His charges were reasonable and he completed everything very quickly. I would definitely recommend him. read more

Rory is fantastic! He's helped me out with two projects: a Tesla EV charger and outlet repair. Like one review said, he knows his stuff! In fact, he figured out a much cheaper, easier, and aesthetically better way to fix one of my garage outlets than two other electricians I got quotes from. He's honest, communicative, and reliable ... all things I have not found with other electricians. I would definitely recommend Rory for your electric needs!! read more

Rory was very helpful, professional, and efficient. So glad I found him. He rerouted an electrical line that was in an inaccessible spot. He was able to fit me in the same day. Great service and value! Appreciate his work. read more

I called Rory for an estimate on doing some electrical work on my house. He arrived on time, he was professional and he completed the work the same day that he came to my house. I had gotten quotes from other competitors in Rancho Bernardo/Poway area and had gotten a quote for almost DOUBLE the price. Rory didn't price gouge me and his work product was fantastic. I've found my go to electrician in Rancho Bernardo. Thanks again for taking care of our home, Rory!! read more

We have had Rory out to put an outlet in two bathrooms as well as a 220 in the garage. He was on time affordable and the work was excellent. Rory cleaned up everything before he left. I highly recommend him. read more

Rory replaced some electric patio heater elements for us. He was very responsive in setting up the appointment, and he was very professional in getting the job done well and in a timely manner. I will contact him again for future jobs. read more

I am an engineer and am no stranger to electricity/electronics, but am a stranger to home wiring. I spent a day trying to find the problem and isolated it down to one section of the wiring but I couldn't find the root problem. I explained it to Rory and he had it figured out in 5 minutes, maybe less. He fixed it in another 10 minutes or so. Rory is very professional, friendly, and competent. I do have one suggestion for him: he should mention on his website that he doesn't check his email regularly and much prefers to communicate by text. read more

Quoted a few other companies. Rory was GREAT. Fast reply and good communication throughout. Fixed the issue thoroughly and efficiently - what else could I possibly ask for? read more

Showed up on time and with a mask. Communication was great via text and his price was fair. I had a very small job of adding an outlet above my tile backsplash. Took an hour to complete and he was gone. I will definitely contact him again for any other electrical needs. read more

I have used Rory twice. Once to replace the lighting in my kitchen & bathrooms. Called him back to add an electrical outlet for the big screen TV on the fireplace wall. He was fast and efficient. Very nice man too. Highly recommend Rory Higgins. read more

Great work. Rory was on time, ready to work, and finished on time. Will definitely have him back for future work.

I hired Rory in 2017 to fix a few loose outlets. He charged $900 for less than half day of work. The minor repairs he made lasted a few months and the outlets came loose again. He said he had to go to Japan and would not respond to calls. I don't trust yelp reviews ever since I worked with this person. read more

I live in Ramona and finding local reliable help is tough, Rory Higgins is "down the hill" but was willing to come help my blown circuit. I began with a message on his website, said I'd have a reply within 48 hours (it was quicker than that) and he was able to come on my day off. He texted on the way so I was aware log his arrival. It was raining and he took care to keep areas clean and he explained what he was doing all along the way. The work took an hour, and the price was less than I expected, so I gave a thank you tip for the drive up here. Totally happy, and I will use him again and refer to friends up here. read more

Excellent quality of work and could not be happier and will definitely go with Rory on future work thanks again!

Our outlets in the kitchen stopped working. Rory came out the next day replaced the outlets that were causing the issues. Overall an excellent experience. read more

Do yourself a favor and don't use this guy. Complete opposite of a pleasure to deal with. Unprofessional and inconsiderate. Offered him water and coffee only to be made feel taken advantage of. Came to my house and pressed a button and still insisted on charging me $115!! I know you've got to make a living Rory, but cmon man?!. Compromise! Also your dirty shoes left dirt throughout my entry. Thanks. read more

A GFCI outlet in the garage keeps tripping when we have Christmas lights outside and it rains, then it won't reset for days. Rory did a careful diagnosis and found the problem to be a circuit for our backyard lights being exposed to weather elements. He came a 2nd day to do a full repair by replacing a switch, an electric box along with some wires and protective conduit. The finished product looks good and the color blends in well with the structure in our backyard. Rory takes his time to do good work, and the price is very reasonable. read more
