As the owner of Rictor Contracting, I receive many requests from subcontractors to use their services. Though there are several electricians out there, we use Chad as our electrician EXCLUSIVELY. Whether we need a consultation, a simple switch installed, or we’re doing a complete remodel or addition, Chad is the ONLY electrician we ever use. He excels in his trade and holds the same high standards for customer service and workmanship as we expect from ourselves and our employees for our clients. We are always confident in referring our clients, family, friends and neighbors to Chad because we know we can trust that he will perform the best possible service for them.

— Marilee HunterAlways professional, Chad treats you like a friend. He shows a well rounded knowledge of his field seeing things a non-professional might not. I trust his judgment and ability to perform the work he promises.
— John BurkeI’m a REALTOR so I sometimes need a quick bid for a buyer on a plethora of different items ranging from nonfunctional GFCI’s to an entire re-wire and electrical box upgrade when we get the inspection back. I called Turn It On Electric and they were able to get a technician out to give us a bid within 24 hours and had the bid to us within 48 hours of our call. It’s hard to find responsive contractors in this day and age that’s why I highly recommend them to anyone who needs an electrical contractor.
