RDP Electric is Ryan Potter's one-man electrical shop, serving Massachusetts and Rhode Island out of New Bedford, and the reviews on file describe him taking on genuinely large jobs. One homeowner hired him for a home renovation that included wiring a new garage and breezeway addition from scratch — interior and exterior lighting, outlets, all of it — while also upgrading the home's electrical service from 100 amps to 200 amps and installing a 22kW Generac backup generator. Another had him relocate a meter socket off the house onto a yard pedestal and run underground conduit to a new, larger panel sized for future renovations. The smaller jobs get the same attention. A business owner called him after a storm knocked down a light post and needed unsafe extension-cord outdoor wiring redone before an event — he got the materials, dug the trench, and finished on time. Reviewers repeatedly single out responsiveness: one was referred to Ryan after two other companies never called back, and he called right away and showed up the next day at the time he promised. Several describe him as fairly priced and easy to communicate with. All 8 Google reviews on file are five stars, three from the past six months, with several detailed enough to read as genuine firsthand accounts rather than quick praise. The Better Business Bureau rates the company A-, based on its length of time operating; it isn't accredited. Ryan's own site states he holds Master Electrician's licenses in Massachusetts and Rhode Island and has worked the trade for 25 years — those are the business's own claims rather than independently confirmed facts. For a homeowner, RDP Electric reads as a capable, responsive one-person operation comfortable with everything from a quick outdoor-lighting fix to a full panel upgrade and generator install — a solid call, especially if you value someone who answers the phone.
