I had Adam, Mark and crew carry out a significant project for me, I found them to be highly professional, reliable, cost effective. Their attention to detail was second to none, I would highly recommend using RAD electric for any project/Job.

All the guys at RAD are professional and their workmanship is outstanding. Adam has been amazing at getting everything we needed done in a timely manner. His communication is second to none and nothing is ever too much trouble. Would highly recommend the team from RAD to anyone, no matter the project.

Contacted Adam at 12PM on Saturday (during the Anzac Long Weekend) requesting emergency assistance to repair a fibre break in the Newcastle area as our usual contractors were unable to attend to this particular job by the Monday deadline. Adam made some calls to his team and had the fibre break repaired / services restored by 10AM Sunday. Expectations were exceeded and we will look to utilise Adam and Mark in future. Impressed with the professionalism and integrity displayed over the weekend.

Guys at RAD did a good job on site. They were professional, easy to deal with and got the job done to a good standard. 


Will be using them again in the future and recommending them.

Highly skilled and very professional, Mark and Adam from RAD Electric raise the bar when it comes to Fibre Optics, Data Cabling or Electrical work. Exceptional quality and delivery times, always on target and make working on jobs with them a breeze.

- Xerta Pty Ltd
5-stars

We initially engaged RAD to install Cat6 cabling in our new home, and they were such a pleasure to deal with we had them come back to completely redo the switchboard work that another outfit had butchered.

They're friendly, professional, helpful with advice and also welcome your direction if you want things done a certain way.

There's a great camaraderie evident in each of the teams, and I particularly liked all the "why we do this" explanations their new apprentice received while they were here. He's getting a GREAT education in the trade.

We can't recommend the RAD team highly enough.
