I had a ventilation fan, and bathroom fixture installed in my bathroom by Matt. He couldn't be any more professional, and honest. From my initial conversation, to the finished product. I will definitely hire Matt again, and I wholeheartedly would recommend him. Thanks Matt!

After a brief, but thorough, consultation with Universal Electric Company regarding a commercial PV system interconnection to an ancient 400A electrical panel, we were able to implement his solutions to complete the job under budget, and earlier than expected.


Matt's vast experience and insight were invaluable in meeting our deadline, and we would unconditionally recommend Universal Electric Company for any commercial and residential project.

Universal replaced an electrical panel for me. Matt was on time, did accurate work for a reasonable fee, and was even patient with the city inspector. He went out of his way to make sure the panel was operational in the shortest possible time. He also bid on the electrical portion of a large commercial building inspection. I recommend Matt to all the Real Estate agents looking for an electrician.

We were in escrow and found out, via a buyers inspection, that the electrical panel needed an upgrade. We were up against a time limit. Contacted Matt who gave us a realistic estimate. He did the job as agreed with no hidden fees. Matt was professional, efficient, on time every day, and did a great job. It's a no brainer...we will call him again on any of our electrical problems.

Couldn't be happier!

Thanks Matt for the great service! Worked with my schedule and fixed everything I asked quicker than I expected.

Best part was the extremely reasonable price he asked in the end and the quality parts he used. Brought many items up to code and troubleshot a problem I've been having for some time in my pre Matt Mickey moused home.

I've never written one of these but I had no issue throwing Matt some love through Yelp. His work and work ethics were top notch.

Thanks Matt! We'll be seeing you again next time I need electrical done!

I have known and worked with Matt Cohen for many years. He is professional and follows thru with all of his work. He mostly does corporate work, but if you are lucky enough to get his for personal business you will be very happy.
