Q:
Has any one had their sub panel replace by this business?
A:
We have had them swap out a number of sub panels on our projects. You got wires going every which direction, but they make it look easy. They know what they're doing

Matt and his crew always do excellent work. We have hired MEL Electric several times, to replace our main electrical panel, run electricity for a 30amp outlet and they did the electrical work when we added central AC/heat and added power for ductless AC in our studio. He communicates clearly, keeps and leaves the worksite clean, has always had a professional attitude, arrived at the scheduled time, completed the work on schedule and does top quality work. Their prices are fair and reasonable. I will definitely use MEL Electric in the future, should the need arise.

Matt is wonderful to work with! He installed a new electrical box, canned (recessed) lighting in three rooms, replaced lights/fans in our bathrooms and installed a ceiling fan in the master bedroom. What I appreciated with Matt is that he explained everything in detail, including what my options were and price options. He guided me on what to do to prepare, what to expect and everything went exactly as planned. Also, Matt was quick to respond to my questions via text, phone and email. As someone who loves explanations and details, Matt was patient through the process. Also - his prices are very reasonable (after we had several estimates from other companies.) Matt is definitely our go-to guy for all future electrical needs!

These folks did a great job installing a backup generator and associated components at a fair price. Unconditional recommendation
Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Mar 29, 2020Previous reviewVery professional, work looks excellent. They installed a large backup generator, complicated installation, in one (long) day, worked nonstop. Chuck and Matt both very experienced.
They scheduled a week in advanced, arrived precisely as planned. I did not get competitive quotes, but I felt the price was fair, no hidden extras. They left the site completely clean, no junk. Pointed out some sub-standard unrelated work done much earlier by others. Answered my questions fully.
Brandon, their sales guy is very competent, suggested an alternative way to do part of the job that saved me money.
No hesitation in recommending them. I think they are quite busy, deservedly so. - Lisa B.Martinez, CA0116Apr 29, 2020
I work in property management for homeowners Association's and MEL Electric is a wonderful vendor to partner with. My board's are very pleased with Matt's knowledge and prompt services and follow through. I would recommend MEL Electric for any electrical needs you have.

I can't say enough good things about this business! I needed 2 bathroom exhaust fans installed. Great communication, prompt follow up to my initial request for an estimate, reasonable price and easy to schedule work.
Fabian, Mike and Kenny showed up at the scheduled time, completed the job, cleaned up and were gone again in under 4 hours. Except for the lovely new fans, I'd never know anyone was here or had done work. Highly recommend!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Heather D.Berkeley, CA4345Dec 30, 2016
Fast response and scheduling. I installed a 240V outlet in my garage to charge my electric car and it was super simple with MEL. They didn't try gouging me and were very competitively priced. I highly recommend them. Very friendly service too.

Matt and team did a great job installing a 30amp circuit for the new AC unit and at reasonable cost. In and out in underc3 hours. A true professional who hilighted some other issues on the electrical systems in the house ! I really liked that. First class.

Mel electric is the best. I have a salon suite business and every room needed to be upgraded in order to with hold all the electric used on each plug. There was alot of work that had to be done and Matt was able to accommodate my needs and my budget. Reasonable, professional, reliable, and knowledgeable. I will definitely be using them in the future.

Matt is a great guy, very easy to work with. Starts and finishes the job time and shows up on time in the morning. We've had him and his crew out for three different projects since we purchased our home last year. He has put in some can lights, changed out light switches to timer motion sensors, and wired our chicken coup. Our last project he finished a day early and adjusted our final bill to reflect that. We intend to use him for our future projects. We would refer them to any friend or family.

My husband and I own a rental property in Napa but live about 90 miles away. We are between tenants and had a list of tasks that only an electrician could do. After contacting several Napa area electricians and receiving no response or they weren't available my husband called MEL Electric and reached Matt right away. We asked for the impossible or so we thought. Since we were driving in from out of town we needed Matt to come out on a Sunday. He agreed to meet us at the property and even waited when we got stuck in traffic.
Matt set about taking care of all the items on the list and even took the time to answer all our questions in detail. He was so courteous and pleasant. You will not find a more reliable, helpful, reasonable electrician in the Napa area. I only wish he worked up where we live!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
