A Local Favorite for Home Electrical Work
Why Matthews Homeowners Invest in Better Electrical Work
Matthews sits in the southeastern corner of Mecklenburg County, and the homes here reflect that — a mix of established neighborhoods, newer construction, and everything in between. What they share is year-round electrical demand that doesn't let up. Hot, humid summers push HVAC systems hard from May through September. Winter cold snaps bring space heaters and heat pumps online simultaneously. And the storms that roll through the Charlotte metro regularly bring surge risk with them.
Older panels and outdated wiring weren't built for the loads modern homes carry. A kitchen remodel, a home office, an EV charger, a hot tub — each of these adds demand that an undersized or aging panel may not be able to safely handle. The result is tripped breakers at best, and real safety hazards at worst.
Thomas & Sons assesses what you actually have, tells you what actually needs attention, and gives you a price before we touch anything. No upsells. No guesswork. No invoice surprises.
RELIABLE ELECTRICAL SOLUTIONS
Our Electrician Services in Matthews, NC
We offer full-service residential electrical work throughout Matthews and the surrounding Mecklenburg County area. Here's what we handle most often for Matthews customers:
Electrical Panel Upgrades and Replacement
Panel upgrades are one of our most common and most impactful services in Matthews. If your panel is rated at 100 amps, if your breakers trip regularly, or if you're planning to add an EV charger, hot tub, or major appliance circuit, we assess your actual load and replace your panel with the right unit for your home's needs. We handle the permit and utility coordination — you don't have to manage any of it.
We hold the Mecklenburg County bond and contractor account required to perform electrical work here, so everything we do is properly credentialed, permitted, and documented from start to finish.
Dedicated Circuit Installation
Dedicated circuits are among our most requested services — and Matthews homeowners tend to have a lot of reasons to need them. EV charger installs, hot tub hookups, home theater equipment, workshop circuits, upgraded kitchen appliances — each of these needs its own dedicated circuit to run safely and efficiently. We install them cleanly, route wiring efficiently, and handle the permit. If your panel needs an upgrade to support the new circuit, we'll walk you through that option before you commit.
Outlet, Switch, and Fixture Installation
More outlets in the right places, recessed lighting in the kitchen, a ceiling fan in the master, GFCI protection near water — these are everyday projects we take just as seriously as a major panel job. Our recessed lighting installations use a minimally invasive approach: fewer ceiling penetrations, minimal disruption to your home, and a finished result that looks like it was always there. If patching is needed, we work with a trusted partner vendor who handles it cleanly. Your home should look better when we're done, not like we were there.
Diagnostics, Repair, and Safety Inspections
Our diagnostic service call starts at $79. That includes a licensed technician visit, a full assessment of your issue, and our complimentary 30-point electrical safety survey. If you move forward with the quoted work, the $79 is credited back in full. Many of our Matthews service calls resolve with a straightforward diagnostic and basic repair — affordable, fast, and no pressure to approve anything beyond what your home actually needs.
Additional services include: whole-home rewiring, generator hookups and transfer switches, whole-home surge protection, ceiling fan installation, exterior and interior lighting, home renovation electrical, and electrical inspections.
