Richard Electric is a South Burlington electrical contractor that says it has been in business since 1960, handling electrical and data communications work on new buildings, renovations and repairs. The company also advertises 24/7 emergency service. A recent Google customer with a standby generator problem said the company took several calls, took the time to understand the problem, looked up warranty information and sent out two techs to work through the issue. That customer said they plan to set up a yearly maintenance contract. BuildZoom shows 10 projects for the company. Vermont lists an electrician licence, EM-05698, as active, held by Richard A Trieb.
“Richard’s electric, or mid Vermont electric. Both probably booked out pretty far, but do good work”
“We had Richards electric out for an emergency replacement on our meter box & breaker. Total bill was around $1300 - which was the initial call, meter breaker box & replacement.”
I recently had a problem with my standby generator. Richard Electric took several calls from me, took the time to understand the problem, looked up warranty information, and sent out two great techs to work through the issue with me. I couldn't recommend them more and will be setting up a yearly maintenance contract soon.
