Everything Electrical. One Licensed Crew.
Seven residential services, one standard: permitted, inspected, priced upfront, with 3-year manufacturer warranties.
Residential Electricians for Reno, Sparks, Carson City & Lake Tahoe
Choosing an electrician shouldn’t feel like a gamble. MT Electric exists to take the three classic frustrations off the table: surprise costs, missed appointments, and work you end up paying for twice. You get transparent, upfront pricing, a crew that arrives when we said, and a 3-year manufacturer warranty behind the equipment we install — on projects from a single outlet to a whole-home standby generator.
Backup Power for a Grid Under Pressure
Northern Nevada outages aren’t rare events — the Washoe Zephyr bends trees into lines, Sierra storms ice the grid, and NV Energy now shuts power off on purpose when fire weather demands it. A standby generator monitors the grid around the clock and brings your house back in seconds, automatically, whether you’re home or three states away.
Sized for Altitude, Fueled for Days
We size from your actual loads with the elevation derate included, fuel from natural gas or propane, and finish with a tested transfer switch and a 3-year manufacturer warranty.

Electrical Panels Ready for Modern Life
Half the housing stock in Reno, Carson City, and the Tahoe basin was wired for a different century — 60- to 100-amp services, and panels from brands like Federal Pacific and Zinsco that insurers now flag by name. We replace aging equipment, upgrade services to a modern 200 amps, and add subpanels for garages, shops, and ADUs.
Permitted, Inspected, Done in a Day
Load calculation, permit, utility coordination, labeled circuits, passed inspection — most panel swaps have power back the same evening.

Home EV Charging, Done Right
A Level 2 charger turns your garage into the gas station — six to ten times faster than a wall outlet, a full battery every morning. We install every major brand on a dedicated 240-volt circuit with the wire, breaker, and GFCI protection the code actually requires, then set the schedule so charging lands on the cheapest overnight rates.
Panel First, Charger Second
Every install starts with a load calculation — most panels take a charger with room to spare, and full ones get load management or a coordinated upgrade. The math before the money, always.

Why Northern Nevada Calls MT Electric
Backed by 3-Year Manufacturer Warranties
The equipment we install carries a 3-year manufacturer warranty — and because improper installation is the classic reason warranty claims get denied, our licensed, permitted, code-exact work is what keeps that coverage valid. We register it and document it for you.
Licensed, Local, and Code-Exact
Licensed electricians who work to the NEC and the local amendments Reno and Washoe County actually enforce. Permits pulled, circuits labeled, inspections passed — the paper trail that protects your insurance, your resale, and your family.
Upfront Pricing, On-Time Crews
Clear, transparent pricing with no hidden fees or surprise line items — you always know what to expect before work begins. And a crew that shows up when we said it would, because your day matters too.

What Does the 3-Year Manufacturer Warranty Cover?
