Best electrician I’ve worked with in Santa Fe and maybe anywhere! Responsive, reliable, kind, fairly priced, and honest. And, most importantly, does excellent work. Could not recommend more highly.

Richard is incredible - timely, thorough, kind and extremely knowledgeable. My first home was built in 1948 and had old electrical and very few outlets. Richard rewired the entire house, added outlets indoors and outdoors, put in a ceiling fan, and talked me through the whole process. He has also been very generous with answering questions post-project. 10/10 Highly recommend!!

I highly recommend Richard’s Electrical Solutions. He fit me into his busy schedule the same day I called and solved a problem on the spot that others could not. Pricing is fair and their knowledge/competence can’t be beat!

Richards Electrical was very responsive, reliable (came on time), polite, and very efficient. We had several issues with kitchen CGIs and the main switch box and also with two quirky bedroom ceiling fans. They were able to troubleshoot all and quickly got everything fixed and working. In addition, Richard answered my online request for service with a direct call during evening hours!

Richards Electrical Solutions responded immediately, on a Sunday afternoon, when all of our smoke detectors started going off at the same time. There was no smoke to trigger the alarms, the batteries had been recently changed and Richard, the owner of the company, arrived asap to remedy the problem. He was considerate of animals in the house, knowledgable about our systems, and knew exactly what to do. Im happy to know that we have professional and reliable electrical service here in Santa Fe and Ill be calling Richards Electrical for any future issues.

There is a reason Richard Electrical Solutions is the #1 electrician in Santa Fe, NM.As a registered nurse serving my community, I highly recommend Richard for ANY electrical needs.Two years ago, I reached out to Richard to have him do some work for me on my property. He was a busy guy, I was also super busy, and I could not nail down time that would work for me.So, I shelved the work.I knew I wanted Richard to do the work because his reputation is BEYOND STELLAR, I finally reached out to Richard this year.After meeting up with MANY of the OTHER top-rated Electricians for quotes in Santa Fe. One of which, (I will not name names) ...who claims to be the “# 1 electrician in Santa Fe”, and who has no problem charging you 3x’s as much as any other electrician in the area “because you have to pay for the best”.I decided to go with Richard.Folks, we are in a recession, just because you CAN charge someone 3’x as much does not mean you SHOULD. There is a right and a wrong way of doing business.RICHARD DOES IT RIGHT.His prices are fair, he is ethical, and truly a gifted electrician. Well known to the city of Santa Fe, for the quality of his work.He does not go around bragging about his skill.He does not have to; his quality of work speaks for itself!!!Upon the initial meeting of Richard, he took his time, laid out an action plan for what I wanted and sought ways to keep the cost down while NOT COMPROMISING the QUALITY of work.I am a safety person. I strive every day to keep my Patients safe ----and knew when hiring Richard, everything would be to code and done flawlessly. Thus, keeping me and my loved ones safe in my home.I cannot speak highly enough of Richard and his team. Hire him---YOU WILL NOT regret it---if you must wait to nail him down. WAIT. He is WORTH IT!!!Thank you, Richard,Breeze Butler RN

Richard provides exceptional service. He is extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy, and he wants to make sure that you are completely satisfied with his work. Finding an electrician in Santa Fe is hard right now, but Richard is very communicative and does excellent work.

Richard was great! I am so happy I found him. He was able to come by the day I called,and also did a follow up visit the next day. I would highly recommend him. He was fair, responded quickly and explained the issues.

Review 9 (2024-02-22 - Rating: 5)
Having worked as a builder in SF I have used several different Electricians. Richard’s has been the best of them. First, communication with them is prompt from first contact to work related issues. With contractors this is very important as much as the work itself. Richard has done several different things at my current job site. He’s very versed on current ideas such as smart switches and the related internet use of them now necessary to complete the most contemporaneous of ideas and installations. Their installations of led strip lighting in display cabinets or under counter task lighting is very cleanly installed and outside of the emitted light, virtually undetectable.They clean up carefully before departure. I was surprised that after running a new power line from one garage plug to a new one 3 feet away, they actually repaired the little bit of drywall damage to get it there, not just run the wire and leave the damaged drywall to someone else. They walk you through what was done, and if they supplied parts, switches, whatever, it is all itemized at fair, not aggressively marked up prices on the bill. And their hourly prices are fair and inline with regional norms. That combined with doing the work quickly is often too rare. There is a one time very low cost trip visit to come out.But he and his crew are equally good at sorting out why something is not functioning, including work previously done incorrectly by another local electrical service. Often it is something obvious, a bad ground or neutral wires, but it can be very hard to isolate even though the correction is simple. They are good at determining the problem and if there are multiple ways to address it, discussing them so you can make the best choice.They always show up when they say they will, and if running late take the tine to text or email, so you are not left sitting wondering what’s going on wasting your time. And while they are the best, the one downside to that is it makes them in high demand. Whether it’s new construction or fixing a ceiling fan that died, getting on their schedule the first time may require a get in line bit of patience. But as someone that has dealt with lots of subcontractors over many years, I can say it’s worth it. These guys have a good work ethic, do quality work, that would pass any inspection, in a timely manner, and at a fair price. I highly recommend them.

I recently moved to Santa Fe and found Richard through a local recommendation. Despite his already busy schedule, he was kind enough to accommodate my timeline. I can’t say enough positive things about Richard. He did an incredible job, is professional and kind, and offers extremely fair pricing. I look forward to working with him again in the future. He may be busy, but he’s definitely worth the wait.

Review 11 (2020-05-12 - Rating: 5)
I had a major renovation project at my home that involved extensive electrical work. Richards Electrical, including Richard himself and the person had assigned to my project, did an excellent job. All city inspections were perfect. Richards was efficient, on time, flexible with my needs, fair in pricing, and when the job was finally completed, Richard attended to any little punch list items that came up. This company was the best to have on my project and I recommend them to anyone! Thank you Richard!

Review 12 (2020-02-04 - Rating: 5)
I’ve used Richard for electrical issues several times, and each time I’m more impressed by his responsiveness, respect, quality of work, and his great personality! He’s a pleasure to have around. You feel like you know him forever. This last time he came to my house, it was right before Christmas so I thought I’d never get anyone to come. But when i told Richard it was for my 15 year old nephew so we could light the outside trees with Christmas lights (it was a faulty outlet), Richard made time in his schedule to make a child happy. He’s a real caring person, which is a rare find these days. Highly recommend him.

We highly recommend Richards Electrical. Great problem solving expertise, attention to detail, and high standard of work. A pleasure to work with!

Review 14 (2019-09-29 - Rating: 5)
I am a very pleased first time client of Richards and I will definitely be calling him again. He was punctual, considerate, well organized. His installation work was done very well and finished neatly. Plus he is a very nice guy, and one who clearly cares about what he does. From the name of his business, I guessed that he was a creative problem solver and that proved to be true.

Review 15 (2019-10-25 - Rating: 5)
Richard was the first electrician we contacted after moving here years ago. Simply put, finding Richard felt like hitting the jackpot. He has proven time and again to be a methodical, efficient and skilled problem solver. He is always very professional, refreshingly communicative, and highly dependable. We cant recommend Richard enough!

Review 16 (2020-06-30 - Rating: 5)
We were vacationing in Santa Fe in March when we had an urgent electrical issue. Richard returned our call immediately and was able to come out quickly. He identified the issue right away and he turned our very stressful situation around quickly. I appreciated his professionalism and expertise. Richard went out of his way to ensure he was available if we needed assistance explaining the situation to the appliance company who made the error. All in all, everything worked out great, thanks to Richard!

Review 17 (2019-10-06 - Rating: 5)
I am a repeat customer. Richard has replaced my smoke alarms and installed lighting for me, as well as troubleshooting an electrical issue. He is a skilled electrician and is very thorough. He is friendly and punctual and he calls when he is on the way. I am sharing his business cards with friends and neighbors because reliable electricians are difficult to find.

Richard is our go to for all things electrical at our businesses and home. He works diligently to develop solutions to our needs and always provides a fair cost for his time and materials. He means what he says and delivers on time. We wouldn’t go anywhere else for electrical service and recommend him with no hesitation.

Review 20 (2021-12-30 - Rating: 5)
Richard was available at a time when we really needed an electrician. He made a point of stopping by our house to assess a situation that could have resulted in a much different outcome. He was able to identify the problem and make the necessary repairs. We will definitely call on him again.

Review 21 (2019-12-13 - Rating: 5)
Richard was meticulous great attention to the quality of his work. He installed a 50 Amp and about 90 feet of wire to support our new electric stove. Personable and reliable. We highly recommend!

Review 22 (2021-03-17 - Rating: 5)
Richard came to my daughters house to troubleshoot a light dimmer. He was professional and seemed very competent, he provided great service, great advice, and didnt even charge us anything. This is a great company and I would definitely use him in the future.

Review 23 (2017-12-28 - Rating: 5)
Ive worked with Richard on several different projects at my home over the past several weeks. Each project hes gone above far and above my expectations. From beginning to end hes been great. I would highly recommend his services to anyone.

Review 24 (2020-05-16 - Rating: 5)
Richard has been a lifesaver find for us. We’ve used him for several projects now and couldn’t be happier with his professionalism and work.We had a new hot tub install that required new lines brought from the front of the house clear across to the back of the home. It was a difficult project that included running over the roof, pulling through the crawl space and ensuring we met code requirements with the placement of shut off verses the slab in the backyard. He handled the project extremely well and went above and beyond by even adding caution tape for the open trench to ensure safety for our renters during the final run to the new tub.We highly recommend his service and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to others.

Richard was easy to work with. He did what he said he would do and at a better price that the other three companies we had quote the work. We will be using him for all our future electrical work.

Im a repeat Richards Electrical customer.This time he installed a Ring Doorbell Pro Camera. Turned out it was not as simple as installing a regular doorbell. He handled the task really good and professional.I would highly recommend him!Thank you Richard!

Review 31 (2024-01-06 - Rating: 5)
We have hired Rich twice now. Conscientious, thorough, puts things back together (and well!). And reasonably priced to boot! He’s our go-to man for anything electrical.

Review 32 (2018-04-12 - Rating: 5)
If you need a very competent electrician and one that does not have the mañana mentality of some of the Santa Fe businesses, look no further than Richard. He ran a 220V line for our new tankless water heater and he just finished up some problems we were having with a whole section of our house not having power.....mice had chewed through some wiring! He found the exact spot where the wire was severed first try with his troubleshooting equipment.You will not be disappointed using Richard and you are supporting a small local business.

Review 33 (2021-04-02 - Rating: 5)
Richard helped me problem solve a very complicated plumbing issue. He did not hesitate to attack the problem. He is the ultimate professional and his knowledge of his craft is of the highest order. I will always call on Richard. Thank you, Richard, for helping me.

Richard is absolutely the best. Great service, always responds promptly, and totally stands behind his work which is always excellent.

Review 36 (2018-05-01 - Rating: 5)
We had a large, complex electrical project to move our PNM owned electric meter from the driveway close to our home approximately 300 feet to a new location adjacent to the servicing electric transformer and the subdivision road where it could be easily read by the PNM meter reader. At Richards suggestion, we hired an electrical engineering firm with previous PNM experience to draw up technical plans, including load drops over distance, which was a key to PNM approval to proceed with the project. Richard completed allre-wiring at our garage electrical panel and installed a junction box where the old electric meter was removed. He supervised and assisted the PNM contract crew which, by rule,had to install the new power line from the transformer to the new electric meter pole apparatus, the latter which Richard personally built and installed. Richard is a MASTERelectrician. He works efficiently and charges a fair price for his expert services. You cannot go wrong getting his bid for your job!

Richard and Abel installed a dining room light for me. It was not an easy installation, through a beamed ceiling, the roof and diamond finish walls. I was impressed with their attention to detail and professionalism. The light is perfect and beautiful. And everything they had to tear into was repaired and looks better than it did before the installation. Thank you, Richard! I look forward to having you come back and do the other work we discussed.

Richards Electrical Solutions earned my 5-star rating when we remodeled our kitchen last summer. Best electrical work in town!! Their price was the most reasonable of all the quotes we received, plus the team arrived on time the next day carefully measuring, working, and completing work to perfection. Their suggestions were spot-on too! All future electrical work in our home will go to Richards team. Thank you!

Richard installed five new hardwired smoke/co alarms at our new home. He was easy to communicate with and arrived at the agreed-upon time. He did a great job with the alarm installation and answered lots of questions about our electrical system. I will definitely call him again for any other electrical work we might need. Thank you Richard!

Richard installed new hanging lights for our garage work area, and added new electrical switches and outlets for that work area. In my 63 years I have not experienced a more professional, personable, warm and friendly person in the work place. Richard not only knows his electrical business, but also has a creative mind that helped us determine the best locations and positioning for our needs. My wife and I highly recommend his services.

I live out of state and the tenants reported an electrical problem. Richard made himself available on short notice right before Christmas. He went above and beyond in his troubleshooting and got the problem fixed. He promptly answered calls and texts, and explained what he did and/or needs to be done. If youre in a jam, Richard is the one to call!

I purchased a new, all electric, manufactured home with the understanding that I could get a separate meter connection or connect it to my existing electrical panel. After being told by county/PNM that I could not, it became a very confusing, difficult and costly situation.Richard did a very good job dealing with and coordinating with the county inspector, manufactured housing division inspectors and PNM to make it happen smoothly.Richard is very knowlegable and made me feel at ease through out this whole process, he was punctual and honest, this is hard to come by these days, I am very pleased with the job he did and would recommend his electrical services to anyone!

Richard is just the best. Mine was a simple gfi plug having tripped. Although I had spent several hours checking all the gfis ....this one was hidden behind a cabinet. Now I know where it is! Anyway, he was great about it all, changed out a couple of plugs and charged me a very reasonable rate. Five star PLUS!
