Recommended Customer Reviews

Matt did a great job! I had a power surge in my area and it fried half of my master breaker box by the meter. I had only half power to the inside of my house with some outlets working and half not. Everyone that I called said they could not come out for 2 weeks! The circuit with my refrigerator was down! I told him over the phone I had 2 kids and I really needed my refrigerator. He came and he switched things around so I had power to the fridge until the replacement part arrived. Matt helped my family when we needed help. I cannot thank him enough!

Matt did an excellent job rewiring my house in Tahoe. Not only from a technical perspective but also aesthetically as everything was lined up correctly and straight and level. His price was competitive and he had great ideas on how to do things. Highly recommend him.

Matt did it all and was easy to work with. We have a home dating back to the sixties. Matt rewired two bedrooms that needed grounded receptacles. He installed three new ceiling lights, three ceiling fans, and new switches for all. He replaced all our kitchen lighting and added two new cabinet lights that open up some dark corners. He replaced two outdoor outlets and rewired an old shed.
Next up, we plan on having Matt upgrade our electrical panel. Thanks again Matt,

Had water in my electrical panel. My plumber was at my house when he noticed it. He called McMahon Electric and Ron came down right away and explained to me where the water was coming in and what needed to be done. He was awesome. He put in a new electrical panel, fixed the wiring outside all in one day. I give him 5 stars and would recommend him anyone.

Matt is a very professional electrician and an equally very nice person. I was doing a Master Bath remodel and service panel upgrade. I got a SLT city permit for the work and the inspector approved everything the first time around. It you want a local SLT electrician he is your man.

Called Matt for a new main panel instal. Our house was recently purchased by us and had the original main from 1961. He has great reviews on yelp and was very impressed with his response time and professionalism. He informed us that he had a backlog of work and it would be at least six weeks till he could start. I don't mind waiting for the right person. I find that that shows quality. Did a great job and even the city and power company had nothing but good things to say about Matt. Will definitely use him again if the need arises.

Matt came through and came out and gave us a thorough explanation. He will help us as soon as he can. Thanks, Matt!

Matt is a great electrician & a very nice guy! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. He put in can lights for us, art lights & some other electrical. He did his work timely, offered suggestions and was very conscious of being as clean as he could.

Matt did some electrical work for our new fire place insert. He was very reasonably priced, on time, thorough, and very accommodating. He even coordinated with the hearth company, for a very seamless experience. We're very happy with McMahon, and will definitely call him again.

Called McMahon Electric when we came up the hill to our SLT house and found several lights and fans out of commission. Matt came out in 2 hrs and diagnosed and fixed the problem. Nice competent professional who is now our go to electrician in SLT.
