Ranked by real Google ratings and review volume · How we chose

By Brad Smith, Home Services Expert · ✓ Updated October 2026 · 7 min read

We compared 18 electricians in Richmond on Google Maps · 5 listed · How we rank

Electricians in Richmond are a mix of service-area contractors with no street address on Google (Spark Smith Electric, Thunder Yak Electric and Marconis Construction & Electric) and shops with a base, such as Ally Electric And Solar on Marina Bay Parkway. Together they've logged more than 260 Google reviews and none has reached 100, so every rating here rests on a modest sample, and the most useful detail is what each one actually installs, from 200-amp panels to EV chargers.

Short answer: Spark Smith Electric, Inc. has the most reviews on this page, more than 90, at a 4.6 rating, with customers describing EV charger installs, a panel replacement and old-house wiring. Thunder Yak Electric LLC is rated 5.0 on more than 60 reviews, mostly panel upgrades. No prices are given in the reviews or sites we read, so ask for a written quote.

How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated the business, ranked against the others here. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from dozens of people carries more weight than a 5.0 from a handful. Recency reflects how recently customers still leave reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What shapes an electrician’s price near Richmond?

Electrical pricing depends on the size of the job, the age of the existing wiring, whether a permit and inspection are needed, and whether you’re adding load such as an EV charger or solar. A panel upgrade, a rewire and a fixture install are priced very differently, and older houses can surface surprises behind walls. Get a written, itemized quote first.
