    Electricians are often misunderstood but if you think of pretty much anything that needs electricity we do it. We are familiar with all stages of the construction process from underground or pre foundation piping to finishing touches after paint and floors we are usually on the job. Electricians are to be highly trained. They may just seem like average handy individuals, but they have had to go through 5 year apprenticeships to become a journey man and another 5 years as a journey man to become a contractor and all the tests and certifications along the way. Some may specialize in certain fields but for the most part the point is hire one if its electrical so you do you don't come up "short" LOL. In a nut shell some of our tasks are: Home or Office Service Remodel/ New Power/Lighting Design/Control/ Install Inspection Trouble shooting: Kitchen remodels, house rewire (replace aluminum), grounding receptacles Code violation/safety home inspections (electrical) LIGHTING: LED Cans Fans Track Decorative Under-cabinet, Chandelier, etc. (high ceiling... No Problem!) Landscape Security Office High Bay/ warehouse lighting Parking Control Timers POWER: Breaker Panel Upgrades Circuit breaker Replacement or maintenance Dedicated circuits, Appliance/machine hook up, Pool Spa River Fountains Pond- Pumps, Dryer Water Wells Shop Tools. etc. Replacement of devices. (plugs, switches, dimmers, and timers. Expert ceiling fan install.

      I called this business today, and my electrical problem was DIAGNOSED and SOLVED over the phone! At no cost to me! Yes, this guy could've come out and charged me like a lot of other electricians might have done, but he didn't, and was very kind and patient walking me through the fix.

      I think it's important to give a shout out to those truly honest and helpful people out there ... so here's a big SHOUT OUT to Carter's Electric!

      I called Matt on Thanksgiving weekend with a problem re: my kitchen power. He asked me a few questions, then recommended a fix that I could do myself.
      I tried it and the problem was fixed. Matt could have come to my house and charged me for the job. I really appreciate his help and his great attitude and I will be sure to use his service the next time I actually need an electrician.

      When the original electrician I reached out to for our A/C installation flaked, I got in contact with Matt. Although he was busy (as are all his colleagues these days) he made time for us and worked with our A/C team. His job included running wire the length of the house. He was ingenious in figuring out how to do this unobtrusively. (Wish the AT&T guys had even half of Matt's cleverness.) I would have no hesitation in getting in touch with Matt again the next time we need an electrician. He was responsive and helpful, answering my questions and providing insights.

      Matt is an excellent electrician. He has done many custom jobs for us on our home, as well as basic jobs. He also knows all about construction and cabinetry. He has problem-solved many issues for us, and even though he is very busy, he is flexible with his time. He has put in exotic light fixtures, BBQ equipment electricals, LED lighting under our quartzite kitchen counter, etc. I highly recommend Matt and Carter's Electric Service.

      Wow!! Very responsive and pinpointed the problem and took care of it right away. Our double oven wasn't working because of some electrical issues. My husband called Carters electric and he got a call back that afternoon. He came out later that afternoon and fixed it no problem!!

      I am giving Matt 5 starts because he is awesome! I highly recommend Matt
      He is very professional, personable and polite. Matt contacted me to let me know that he was on his way. I had a small job for him & he worked me in that day.
      His pricing for my job was very reasonable and after reading his reviews on Yelp I decided to give him a try and I am glad I did.
      I will definitely use him again.
      Thanks Matt!

      Matt is a great electrician and always fairly priced. He takes the time to explain things and makes different suggestions based on his experience with other clients and what you want to accomplish. He is not rushed and even finds time to do little extra things that are not part of the scope of work you hire him to do. Highly recommended.

      Matt was referred to me by a friend. He consulted with me about my needs and I am ready to do business with him. He was easy to speak with and had great ideas of how to mount my Tesla wall connector. Stay tuned for more information!

      I was in a pinch while working with my contractor on a project. After demo'ing a wall, a bunch of electric work needed to be rewired (according to my contractor). I found Matt on yelp and called him right away. Matt was extremely helpful and attentive via phone and text; he answered questions and suggested tips to the contractor that ultimately saved a bunch of time/expenses, and in the end, a bunch of electric work was no longer needed. Even more awesome is he checked on me later in the day. Matt gets five stars for his work ethic, attentiveness, and going above and beyond to lend a helping hand. I really appreciate him, and will be sure to use him in the future! Thanks Matt! PS. He had mentioned he was sick with the flu... thanks for being extra kind and helpful even when you're sick!!
