I worked with White Rhino as a vendor on behalf of Lowes to install a whole house Generac generator that I bought through Lowes. White Rhino was an excellent communicator throughout, they showed up on time, they did the work they said they would do, and they were pleasant to deal with. When the county inspector had some minutia they wanted them to clean up after the work was done, White Rhino came right back immediately and made the adjustments for free. Highly recommended for a generator install. read more

Update as of March 2022. The owner of the company got mad that I posted a negative review and now refuses to warranty the generator or the install. If you want to avoid retribution for posting an honest review, don't use this company. Hopefully the BBB can help me sort it out. read more

I think most people dread having to call a contractor or electrician. I used to be one of those people. Ryan, the proprietor of White Rhino Electric, changed my perspective. He showed up on time and was very pleasant. He quickly provided a very reasonable estimate and even offered to work on Saturday to meet our needs. The work was finished expertly and on time. We will happily recommend Ryan and his crew to any friend or family member needing electrical work. read more

I can't say enough about this company, the owner Ryan and his crew. I contacted him as a certified Generac service provider and he immediately responded to troubleshoot my problem. Once identified Ryan was nice enough to tell me it was an original installer error and that I should call who put it in to fix under warranty. That problem resolved I called Ryan again to come out and completely do a test run to make sure my generator was working the way it should. He sent one of his guys and a few minutes later we were in business. Just operator error on my part for the test phase. Oops... anyways this is one of your top notch companies not out to rip you off and excellent customer service. I would highly recommend using them for any electrical issues you might have. Five Stars Plus ++++++ Thank you White Rhino Electric. read more

How does this place stay in business! Someone was supposed to be at the site between 9 and 11 today and no one showed up. My husband called and finally was able to reach someone who said there was an emergency. Why no one called to tell him is beyond comprehension! He waited in the car for almost 3 hours. Still waiting for some word and it has been almost 5 hours! Would NEVER recommend this business. Very unprofessional. I finally called myself and Ryan hung up on me. Nice..... read more

I live in the Black Forest and our power has gone out several times, so we decided to shop for a generator. Generac was our choice and White Rhino has the highest Generac certification and they were very knowledgeable about sizing, placement, etc. They had to run the gas line a pretty good distance for the generator and they did a great job. I also had them install an outlet for my motorhome and fix some other electrical issues I've had since moving in. They did excellent work and offered great pricing and follow up. Highly recommend. read more

Even if he has a better deal, you have to consider his legitimacy as an electrician and his responsiveness to your needs. If you don't feel like reading this entire review, the bottom line is this - he has no business installing Generac generators, he charges for things he does not provide (check invoice carefully), he is impatient and disrespectful should you have any questions about his work, he screens calls to avoid being held accountable, it will take months to correct any problems and he only complies with laws and regulations he is bound to uphold as a licensed electrician unless he is inspected and coerced by the building department. I have a feeling most of his positive reviewers have no idea he side stepped his legal obligations and will only find that out when disaster strikes. Call Generac to find out what happens if you run a generator he installs and something goes wrong. To maintain your warranty, a certified Generac service provider must validate the install (he is only certified to sell). Although technically he can install your generator, you will void your warranty if you run it and something goes wrong. The additional cost of hiring a certified service provider negates any savings Ryan might appear to provide. There were several basic things Generac requires for proper installation, many of which Ryan never provided. Save yourself the aggravation and hire a legitimate Generac service provider to install your generator. Do NOT pre-pay him for his service as you will most likely be put on the back burner or ignored altogether. It took nearly 6 months to get our whole home generator properly installed and we were only able to facilitate that with the aid of the regional building department who was forced to use strong arm tactics and coercion because Ryan refused to respond to any of our requests and many of those by the building department. Do not expect him to rectify any problems that you encounter or even offer the courtesy of a response to your calls or emails. We incurred many additional costs and countless hours of frustration dealing with his avoidance and disregard. He cuts corners, tries to shortchange you, disregards El Paso County regulations, charges for permits he has no intention of pulling and ignores repeated requests made by the Regional Building Department when his work is not to code. Building permits may be a technicality to most, but for any work Ryan does - they are necessity if you hope to have proper work and get what you paid for. Many errors were noted by the inspector, some of which affected our entire electrical system that he improperly modified to facilitate an easier install of the generator. And he refused to rectify those issues until his account was placed on hold by the building department. We were treated with disrespect, disregard and disinterest. He tried to short change us on several occasions by attempting to pass off inferior and incompatible components. At this point, his electrical expertise and workmanship are irrelevant because what good does that do if he charges for things he doesn't provide, deliberately ignores you, doesn't follow his legal obligations as a licensed electrician, lacks any ethical compass and refuses to finish the job? Ryan not only has no right installing Generac generators, but he has proven he should not be trusted as an electrician or a businessman. His estimate may be cheaper than others, but there's a reason for that and in the end, you'll be paying the difference anyway - both financially and mentally. You're better off hiring a legitimate electrician who will do the job right in the first place, who has the patience to deal with questions and who has the professionalism to respond to inquiries. It will save you time, money and a whole lot of stress and frustration. And a word on permits. It may seem like a hassle and extra expense that is unnecessary - especially for a generator. But after my experience, I am a firm believer in their importance. They provide a 3rd party unbiased verification that any work done on your home is done correctly and may be your only means to get what you paid for. Without the permit, I would not have known my generator wasn't installed correctly and would have had no way to force Ryan to accept responsibility. And while our generator may have functioned for a while as he installed it, it is possible it could have ruined the generator, or worse, our whole electrical system. read more

I hired White Rhino in March to re wire a Victorian apartment house. I contacted them on Aug 1 2016 to come and turn on electric. I could not reach Ryan for a month. It took awhile after Ryan finally contacting me to send his journey man to work on the service. Then Ryan walked off the job. He told a friend of mine that he had more lucrative jobs and he just didn't want to finish this job. He wanted me to agree to release him. I did not agree. He became volatile and vindictive because I wanted him to finish what he started. It is now Dec. and I recently got the electric on. The electrician told me that Ryans wiring on the service was wired wrong. We keep finding wiring problems and this is a total nightmare. Now Ryan has shut down and will not talk to me. The electrician who is fixing his work told me that Ryan doesn't know what he is doing and he feels that he walked off the job because he didn't know how to finish. He was in over his head. Ryan never should have attempted this job. read more
