Matthew’s Electrical Services LLC provides home electrical repair for existing houses in Charlotte, NC and nearby. Whether you need a dead outlet fixed, a flickering light traced or a breaker that keeps tripping diagnosed, our licensed electricians find the cause and fix it safely. We repair and update older wiring in neighborhoods such as Ballantyne, SouthPark, Myers Park, Dilworth and Steele Creek, and we are available 24/7 for urgent electrical problems.



Electrical problems rarely fix themselves. Call a licensed electrician if you notice any of these in your home:
If you smell burning or see sparks, turn off the power at the main breaker and call us right away.
Electrical troubleshooting means finding the real cause, not just replacing parts until the problem goes away. Our process is simple:
Tripping breakers are among the most common calls we get. See our breaker repair page for details.
Sometimes repeated repairs point to a bigger issue, such as an overloaded or outdated panel. In that case we may recommend an electrical panel upgrade instead of patching the same problem again. Older homes also often need new circuits for an EV charger, a generator or a hot tub, and we handle those too.
Tell us what is happening at your home. We will find the cause and give you a clear estimate. We answer calls 24/7.
The cost of an electrical repair depends on what is wrong and how hard it is to reach. The main factors are:
We give a free estimate before work begins. For common jobs, see our flat-rate electric repair page, or call 980-427-3955.
If you are searching for an electrician near me for repairs, we are based in Indian Trail and serve a 30 to 35 mile radius around Charlotte, with a focus on the south side.

We also serve these nearby cities:
It depends on the problem, how easy the wiring is to reach and what parts are needed. Replacing an outlet or switch costs far less than tracing a hidden fault behind a wall. We give a free estimate before work begins.
North Carolina allows homeowners to do some electrical work on their own home, but permit and inspection rules still apply and mistakes can cause shocks or fires. We recommend a licensed electrician for anything beyond a simple fixture swap. Check with your local building department for the rules in your town.
Common causes are an overloaded circuit, a short circuit, a ground fault or a failing breaker. Resetting it again and again does not fix the cause. Have an electrician find it. See our breaker repair page.
If one circuit has a problem, a repair is usually enough. If several circuits trip, the panel is hot or buzzing, or it is too old to handle new loads, an electrical panel upgrade may make more sense. We inspect it and tell you which one you need.
Sometimes the cause is only a worn bulb or dimmer. If lights flicker across the house, dim when appliances start or come with a burning smell, the cause may be a loose connection or a problem with the service. Have it checked promptly.
It is the process of finding the cause of a problem such as dead outlets, tripped breakers, flickering lights or a partial outage. We test the circuit and trace it back to the fault, then explain the repair before we start.
Simple repairs such as replacing an outlet, switch or fixture often do not. Work such as new circuits, panel changes or service changes usually does. Requirements vary by jurisdiction, and we handle permits when they are required.
Yes, we answer calls 24/7. If you smell burning or see sparks, turn off the power at the main breaker and call us. If there is smoke or fire, leave the home and call 911.
