Residential Electrical Services for Reno & Northern Nevada
Seven services, one licensed crew, one standard: permitted, inspected, priced upfront, with 3-year manufacturer warranties on the equipment we install. From a dead outlet to a whole-home generator — if electricity runs through it, it’s our work.
Backup Generator Installation
Wind shutoffs in fire season, ice storms in winter — Northern Nevada outages are a when, not an if. We install whole-home and essential-load standby systems that sense the outage, start themselves, and hand your house back its power in seconds, whether you’re home or three states away.
Sized for the House — and the Altitude
Generators quietly lose output at elevation, so we size from your actual loads with the derate included, fuel from natural gas or propane, and finish with a tested transfer switch and a 3-year manufacturer warranty.

EV Charger Installation
The gas station of the future is your garage. We install Level 2 charging — Tesla, ChargePoint, Emporia, or whatever shipped with the car — 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; full ones get smart load management or a coordinated upgrade — the math before the money, always.

Electrical Panel Upgrades & Replacement
The panel is where every project begins and every problem ends up. We replace aging and recalled equipment — Federal Pacific and Zinsco included — upgrade 60- and 100-amp services to a modern 200 amps, and add subpanels for garages, shops, and ADUs across the region.
Permitted, Inspected, Insurable
Every panel job runs the full chain: load calculation, permit, utility coordination, torqued and labeled circuits, passed inspection. The crew stays until every circuit is back on and labeled.

Electrical Wiring & Rewiring
Behind every wall in a Reno-Tahoe home is wiring somebody chose — and in the older housing stock, some of those choices have aged badly. We troubleshoot dead circuits, replace deteriorated and undersized wiring, add dedicated circuits for the loads modern life keeps inventing, and wire remodels and additions to code.
From One Circuit to the Whole House
A single flickering fixture or a full rewire — the standard is the same: correct wire for the load, clean terminations, labeled runs, and a house that passes its next inspection without a conversation.
Ceiling Fan Installation
A good ceiling fan is year-round equipment in the high desert — moving cool air in July, pushing furnace heat back down in January. We install fans on properly rated boxes with the bracing a spinning fixture actually needs, so they run silent and wobble-free for years.
Hung Solid, Balanced Silent
Vaulted ceilings, remotes and smart controls, replacing a builder-grade wobbler, or wiring a fan where only a light existed — all of it with a 3-year manufacturer warranty on the equipment we install.
Hot Tub & Spa Electrical
Snow falling on a steaming spa is a Northern Nevada tradition — and a serious electrical project. Hot tubs demand a dedicated 240-volt circuit, GFCI protection, a disconnect at the code-required distance, and bonding done exactly right, because water and electricity share this project whether they like it or not.
Safe Soaks in Any Season
We run the circuit, trench and route the conduit, set the disconnect, and test everything under load before the first soak — permitted, inspected, and warrantied like all our work.
Outlets, Switches & Smart Controls
Dead outlets, warm switch plates, two-prong receptacles, and kitchens short a circuit or three — small symptoms that deserve real diagnosis. We repair and replace outlets and switches, add GFCI and AFCI protection where code and common sense want it, and install the dimmers, USB outlets, and smart switches modern rooms run on.
Small Fixes, Big Safety
An afternoon of outlet work is some of the cheapest electrical safety money buys — and the fastest way to make an older house feel current.
Whatever the project, it starts the same way: one call and a clear, upfront quote.
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.
Serving Reno and All of Northern Nevada
