Recommended Customer Reviews

In late July 2023, we had a dangerous situation where several of the circuit breakers in our electric subpanel burned and melted. Our home warranty service didn't have anyone available, so authorized us to contact an outside provider. I reached out to Matthews Electric after seeing them suggested on a community Facebook page. Bill responded the same day! Even though he'd been working a long day on another job, he came to our home late the same afternoon. He reviewed the situation and advised us of the necessary repairs. He even waited with us while we were on hold for 20 minutes to speak to our home warranty rep, so he could explain to them the work to be done (as required by the home warranty service).
Understanding the danger of the situation, and our anxiety over it, Bill returned and made the repairs on what would have been his day off! Bill completed the work beautifully, and without complaint - despite the miserable heat, leaving us feeling safe and able to use our A/C!
Bill's wife, Gina, runs the office, and she was amazing as well. Gina was incredibly helpful working with our home warranty company (no easy feat!) to get them all the information they required to approve the out-of-network service.
Bill even came back at no charge to diagnose a problem we were having with a hallway light, and was spot-on. We made the repair he suggested, and had no more trouble.
Can't begin to express how pleased we are to have been lucky enough to connect with such a talented electrician, and to have had the pleasure of working with such a gracious team as Bill and his wife, Gina!

They replaced several fans and remotes. We also added new lighting in all our bedrooms, kitchen and family room. Our rooms are so much brighter now.

Bill is very business-like, professional, and knowledgeable. He provided a written estimate and completed the work in a timely manner. He arrived when he said he would, and if he needed to be a little late, he called to let me know. He did an excellent job of installing new bathroom lighting and completing all my other electrical jobs. He is very neat and careful, and he cleans up very well when he is finished. He is also very pleasant and patient.
He did a great job for me, and I highly recommend him.

Really great service! We got a quote to install an electric charger for our new EV vehicle and he came and checked out the place. Told us how much it would cost (matched the price of a lower competitor as well) and then completed the job within a few days. Solid work for sure, I recommend it!

I recently ordered a Tesla, and I had no real life experience dealing with electricity. The only knowledge I had was through research online, but nothing compares to their experience with this line of work. I was astonished by the speed, the knowledge, the feedback, the cooperation, the friendliness, and the craftsmanship that Bill and Rob did for my house. Out of all of the other companies that I reached out for installation; they had the best installation plan, and the best experience. Bill knew what I wanted without me giving much information to him. I would definitely suggest them for installation of an EV charger.

We can't say enough about Bill and his employee Rob. We were in a pinch and they just stepped up and got the job done. Bill was extremely personable, as well as Rob. From the initial call to finish they were on it. Their work ethic was impeccable and they are true problem solvers. They went above and beyond which one doesn't often experience this day and age. When you find someone like Matthew's Electric you don't often want to share, but they deserve it, hands down. Would highly recommend them, and will be using them in the future.

We highly recommend Matthews Electric for any type of electrical needs. Bill was helpful when we had difficulty with our diy outlet replacement project and replacement of bathroom lighting fixtures. We were so happy with his work we had him back to move a dining room chandelier and replace can light and light switches after repainting. Great service. Friendly personality. Quality work. We'll call him again for any electrical needs!

They did an amazing job installing my Tesla home charger. Excellent price, awesome customer, professional, knowledgeable. Their service was impeccable. It was a quick and clean installation. He came highly recommended and I wasn't disappointed. I would highly recommend them and I'm definitely using them again.

I hired Bill to come fix my kitchen lights and he was great. He found an issue with the wiring that was making the lights not work for half of the kitchen, and had my lights back on in no time! Great experience with Matthews Electric, I would recommend them to everyone!

Wow! Amazing service, quick and reliable!
My sister and I just bought houses in the same neighborhood and she had just got some pendant lights installed over her kitchen counter, and when I saw them I said I want some too, lol!!! She recommended Matthews Electric to me! Called in, and got an appointment within 2 days! They came in and had my pendant lights up within an hour!!! Amazing job!!
