The range breaker continually tripped, leading us to check the electrical panel. We found two damaged 40 amp breakers due to improper installation and replaced them. Upon further inspection, we identified a dead short caused by failing wire connections on the range, which we addressed to restore functionality.

The guys were great they explained anything i asked in simplest terms.
Working with Matt and his team is a delight. He assessed the situation, developed common sense solutions, and sent his technicians to perform the work. They were friendly, courteous, and cleaned up both work areas. I have recommended Rider Electric and will continue to do so.
