EV Receptacle
To ensure safe charging for an electric vehicle, we installed a dedicated 50-amp circuit for the EV receptacle. This included a 50-amp GFCI ABB breaker.
Ceiling Fan Repair
Diagnosed arcing ceiling fan caused by loose wire connections in downrod. Repaired connections using secure crimped connectors and verified proper operation.
Floodlight Installation & Garbage Disposal Switch Repair
Installed a new weatherproof bell box above the garage for a customer-supplied floodlight, utilizing the existing attic light switch box as the power source. The customer-supplied floodlight was securely mounted, wired, and tested to verify proper operation. Also troubleshot the garbage disposal switch after the customer reported intermittent operation.
Troubleshoot Loss Of Power In Bedrooms
Power loss in the bedroom was traced to a loose neutral connection in the hallway receptacle, which was also wired with aluminum. We installed alumicon connectors and properly addressed the wiring issues. After completing the repairs, we verified that the voltage levels were correct and the receptacle was functioning properly.
Shed Power
To provide reliable power to the shed, a dedicated 20 amp circuit was installed from the electrical panel. This upgrade ensures consistent electricity supply, allowing for the use of power tools and lighting, enhancing the functionality and convenience of the shed.
Receptacle Repair & Fan Troubleshooting
A bathroom receptacle was causing arcing issues during use, so we removed the faulty unit and replaced it to ensure safe operation. In the master bedroom and living room, we troubleshot non-functioning fans and discovered that the receivers were defective. We replaced the receivers with standard Decora switches and recommended future fan replacements. Voltage and operation were verified upon completion.
Troubleshoot Living Room Power Loss
Upon inspection, we found that power was lost in two receptacles in the living room and the kitchen microwave. After removing the outlet box, we discovered a hidden junction box within the wall. The connections inside had failed, so we replaced the outlets and corrected the improper wiring to restore power effectively.
Home Inspection Repairs
A home inspector flagged several issues that needed addressing. We corrected the feed going to the garbage disposal to ensure it operates efficiently. Additionally, we closed the junction box in the attic, enhancing electrical safety.
Panel Replacement
Due to safety concerns, the outdated Challenger panel was removed and replaced with a new 150 amp GE panel. Along with the new panel, we installed all new feeder breakers and included a whole home surge protector, ensuring enhanced electrical safety for the entire property.
Home Inspection Repairs
Double tapped neutrals in the electrical panel can lead to unsafe conditions. We addressed this issue by removing the improperly bonded neutrals and grounds, then installed a ground bar where all grounds were securely landed. This ensures a safer and more reliable electrical system in your home.
Relocate Receptacles
Troubleshooting revealed issues with three receptacles scattered throughout the home. We relocated two receptacles, ran new power for another, and prepared the kitchen for cabinet installation. Additionally, we installed a box and GFCI for the dishwasher and set up a dedicated 12/2 circuit for the over-the-range microwave.

Rider electric installed a new electric panel in our garage about a month ago and recently added a receptacle for a 220 plug for an EV. Great work, very professional, we’re very happy with it! Matt and his crew are the best!
Great experience overall! Matthew came out the day I called to give me an estimate. Not only did he give me a fair price, he took time answering my questions without making me feel uneducated. Eric & Dylan showed up on time, were respectful of my home & property, showed me their work & answered my questions with kindness as well. I couldn’t recommend a better company for electrical needs.
Very friendly attitude and very professional, on time,neat pricing was great ๐. they installed out door lights on both of my daughter houses I'm very satisfied and will use them again.
Prompt, friendly service. Had an unusual issue, they stuck it out until they found the problem and fixed it. Will absolutely use them again.
Best electric company in Florida!
Matt was recommended to us by our realtor for some repairs in order to sell our house. Knowing it needed to be a quick turn around, he was at our house the day after we called and on a weekend. He completed the job in a professional and timely manner. Very personable, will use in the future, and would recommend to anyone else.
The owner of Rider Electric has been instrumental in the completion of two home projects for us: Moving a hot water heater and renovating our kitchen. He problem-solved for us, was flexible (as we had multiple other contractors to coordinate), and he was cost-conscious on our behalf. I would feel confident recommending Rider Electric to anyone I know for projects big and small.
