Electrician in Moscow, ID

Licensed in Idaho & Washington • Serving the Palouse

When the power goes out in part of your Moscow home, a breaker won’t stop tripping, or your new range won’t pull a full 240 volts, you need an electrician who shows up, diagnoses the real problem, and fixes it right the first time. RD Electric is a fully licensed and insured electrical contractor serving Moscow, Idaho and the surrounding Palouse — from neighborhoods near the University of Idaho campus to homes out toward Moscow Mountain and the farms along the Troy and Genesee roads.

We’re based in the Lewis-Clark Valley and run service calls in Moscow regularly, which means we know the housing stock here: the older homes near downtown with original wiring, the additions and remodels around the Fort Russell and East City Park neighborhoods, and the newer construction on the south and east edges of town. Whether it’s a quick service repair or a full panel upgrade, we treat your home like our own — clean work, clear communication, and the boxes hauled away when we leave.

Electrical Services We Provide in Moscow

We handle residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical work across Moscow and the Palouse, including:

• Electrical repair & troubleshooting — dead outlets, voltage drops, flickering lights, breakers that won’t reset, and circuits that have quietly stopped working
• Electrical panel upgrades — upgrading older 100-amp and fused panels to modern 200-amp service for homes adding HVAC, EV chargers, hot tubs, or shop space
• Generator installation — as a Generac authorized dealer, we size, install, and service standby generators so you’re covered when Palouse winter storms take the grid down
• EV charger installation — Level 2 home charging stations wired and inspected to code
• Lighting & fixture installation — ceiling fans, recessed can lighting, chandeliers, range hood fans, and exterior lighting
• New construction & remodel wiring — full rough-in to finish for additions, kitchen and bath remodels, and new homes
• Whole-home surge protection — protecting your electronics and appliances at the panel
• Hot tub & appliance circuits — dedicated 240V circuits done right

If you don’t see what you need listed, give us a call — if it’s electrical, we likely do it.

Why Moscow Homeowners Choose RD Electric

Licensed in both Idaho and Washington. The Palouse straddles the state line, and we’re licensed and insured on both sides of it — so whether your home is governed by the Idaho Division of Occupational or Professional Licensing in Moscow or Washington rules over in Pullman, your work is permitted and inspected correctly.

We diagnose, not just replace. On a recent Moscow service call, a homeowner’s electric range wasn’t getting full 240 volts and was completely inoperable. The power tested good at the panel, so rather than guessing, our team traced the fault to a failing line between the panel and the range. We ran a new circuit through the attic and down an exterior wall, got the range working, and — while we were there — hung the range hood, two ceiling fans, and three light fixtures. Then we hauled away every box and scrap of packaging.

We leave it clean. Our crews clean up after themselves, every time. You shouldn’t have to deal with debris and packaging after the work is done.

A real local team. RD Electric is owner-operated with a crew of journeymen and apprentices who take pride in their work. When you call us, you’re hiring a company that’s invested in the LC Valley and Palouse for the long haul.

What Our Moscow Customers Say

★★★★★
“Josh was the electrician RD Electric sent to our house. Our range was not getting a full 240 volts and was inoperable. Josh and his apprentice ran a new line through our attic and down an exterior wall — our range is now working! They also hung our range hood fan, two ceiling fans, and three light fixtures. They were very clean and even hauled the boxes and packaging away. I would highly recommend RD Electric and Josh if you are in the Moscow/Pullman area. Five Stars!” — Verified Moscow customer

Serving Moscow and the Surrounding Palouse

From our base in the Lewis-Clark Valley, we’re a short drive down Highway 95 to Moscow, and we serve the surrounding communities as well — Pullman, Troy, Genesee, Viola, and the rural Palouse in between. We’re familiar with the area from the University of Idaho campus and the Moscow Farmers Market downtown out to the wheat country on the edge of town.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you serve Moscow even though you’re based in the Lewis-Clark Valley?

Yes. Moscow is one of our regular service areas. We run calls in Moscow, Pullman, and across the Palouse on a routine basis.

Are you licensed to work in both Idaho and Washington?

Yes. We’re licensed and insured in both states, which matters on the Palouse where the Idaho-Washington line runs right between Moscow and Pullman.

How much does an electrician cost in Moscow?

It depends on the job — a service repair is very different from a panel upgrade or new construction wiring. We’ll give you a clear, upfront quote before any work begins so there are no surprises.

Can you upgrade my electrical panel?

Yes. Panel upgrades — especially from older 100-amp or fused panels to modern 200-amp service — are one of our most common jobs, particularly for homeowners adding EV chargers, hot tubs, generators, or HVAC.

Do you install Generac generators?

Yes. We’re a Generac authorized dealer and handle the full process: sizing, installation, and ongoing service.
