As a Christian-owned, family-operated business, RLB Electric is built on the principle that every customer is a gift, not just a dollar sign.

There are no hidden fees, no surprise charges, and no corners cut. Every job comes with a full guarantee and warranty, because Ricky stands behind his work 100 percent.
RLB Electric is proud to offer discounts for veterans, seniors, and students, because giving back to the community is a core value of the business. The company also runs a referral reward program — refer a friend or neighbor and earn $250 or more when they book a job. It is Ricky's way of saying thank you to the loyal customers who have helped RLB Electric grow through word of mouth over the past two decades.
