Richardson Ready Electric

Richardson Ready Electric operates out of Richardson, Texas, and handles electrical work for homes and businesses throughout the DFW area. They have provided these services since 1988 with a focus on residential repairs and installations. The crew takes on jobs like running new wiring, setting up EV chargers, installing generators, and sorting out lighting and data connections. Homeowners in this part of Texas often face issues from storms, aging panels, and overloaded circuits that cut power without warning. The company shows up with licensed electricians who aim to restore service safely and avoid repeated callbacks on the same problem.

They respond to storm damage calls where lines from the meter to the panel get fried and leave only half the breakers working. Crews have installed surge protectors on boxes and tracked down dead outlets on exterior walls that stopped supplying power. In one case after heavy weather hit on May 28, they restored full service the same day and then returned to fix the remaining issues two days later. Jobs also include quick additions for generators and lighting upgrades that keep homes running during outages. Customers note the crews work fast on these repairs but sometimes create extra tasks that stretch the bill higher than expected.

Reviews show strong marks for speed when storms knock out power and for the quality of fixes on meter lines and breaker problems. Communication holds up during the initial visit but slips when follow-up crews get sent or when costs climb past the first quote. Price feedback splits between those who got the job done right away and others who paid more after multiple trips. The score reflects reliable response times on urgent electrical fixes balanced against occasional driving complaints and billing surprises. DIRT Score 3.8 from 40 reviews on Finds.

“The electrician was so professional and so helpful. After the storm on 5/28, we lost power for a day which was restored same day. But then the next day the power was wonky and then only half our breakers were working 5/30. Turns out the line from the meter to the box got fried, we had another company come out to just repair the line but they wanted $10k to do all the unnecessary upgrades. But Richardson Ready Electric was called on 5/31, we sent them photos of damage and they said they could come Monday 6/3. Unfortunate but lots of electrical damage in area after the storm. He said he might come 6/1. Well we hoped for the best and they showed up on a Saturday and fixed the fried line from meter to breaker box. We finally had power to the entire house again!! And the fee was so reasonable for emergency work on the weekend! It was under $300 for the work! I highly recommend Richardson Ready Electric for any of your needs!”

“Seems like your company doesn't believe in turn signals, safe driving, or whether or not they almost hit about 4 cars from cutting people off.”

“They placed a surge protector to electrical box and wanted them to figure out why one of the outer outlet lost power. End up spending lots of time and creating different work. I talked to manager to send a different crew to fix the problem. Supposedly it was fixed after paying a very large bill. I have an different electrici company addressing the problem again. Save your $$$ and don’t call them.”
