Phenomenal customer service. I called with an inquiry and spoke to Vance, who patiently walked me through various options for my lighting needs. He then followed up with a detailed email with numerous options for me to review. Will be visiting in the future for my lighting needs!

Today was the third time in a row that I have gone into Rittenhouse Electric Supply and have been treated rudely. I only went to them because they are close, but it never fails that I am treated disrespectfully there. Today I was abruptly told, "You stand back there!" by a clerk when I stood where just moments before someone else had stood. There was no, "Excuse me, sir. Please stand over there to pay for your purchase".

There was a plexiglass shield between me and the clerk. He was pleasant to the previous customer who was not admonished to move away. I am disgusted to think that his behavior might have been racially motivated, or age-related as I am of a different race and a senior citizen. I will not allow clerks at Rittenhouse Electric Supply to demean and insult me again.

Extremely overpriced on just about everything they sell. The selection of inventory has gone down hill. Used to go there for hard to find items because they had it. Not anymore. Only interested in selling the most profitable items.

Amazing Staff and wonderful customer service. Ran out of 14/2 while doing a job in Ardmore. Rittenhouse Electric had some scrap 14/2 for us. I'm at Home Depot everyday and I highly recommend Rittenhouse over Home Depot or Lowes

Great place for lighting fixture and electrical supplies. Also the staff are all friendly for contractors and home owners alike.

They have everything. They seriously have some really cool stuff. It seems like they only carry the top quality stuff. I guess that's why they're pricey.

I have successfully completed many projects purchasing lighting materials from Rittenhouse electric- for the last 13 years. Their support and extreme dedication to your satisfaction cannot be compared to any other lighting supply establishments, especially Home Depot! I worked with Marty, Mike, Adam, Beth and every one of them did their best to answer all my questions, made valuable suggestions and helped successfully implement my home projects.

They return your phone calls immediately, they deliver your supplies the day you need it, they troubleshoot problems if arise, quickly and effectively. They always stand behind their products and provide immediate replacement of defective merchandise. My house has lighting fixtures, dimmers, lamps, fans and all types of controls, all carefully selected and advised on by caring sales people from Rittenhouse Electric. I want to say THANK YOU for all the help and support I receive from Rittenhouse Electric for all these years. I would not able to do it without you, guys!
