"Wonderful experience. Ken are doing on time and went right to work changing out several worn out switches and some minor re-wiring. Great customer service - Ken did not have a part that he needed so he went to Lowes, was back in 15 minutes and completed the work. I would recommend Gowdy for your electric needs.

"This was the best electrical service company we could have chosen. They were professional, they were friendly. They gave us the details and facts and did not try to sell us anything we did not need, but instead gave us options and explained things very clearly. ALB scheduled us immediately, they arrived the next morning with plenty of crew and had the issue fixed within 2hours. I have never been more impressed with how professional and punctual they were. When the job was done they made sure to come back out wait for the inspector. They helped us get in touch with the power company and had our power back on the SAME day. I will suggest and recommend ALB for all our electrical work in our home. They were affordable and reasonable. Thank you ALB."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

For electrical projects in Matthews, begin by obtaining necessary permits and scheduling inspections early to avoid delays. Plan major work during milder spring or fall weather to reduce weather-related interruptions. Always coordinate with local utilities before any digging or service changes. Hiring a licensed electrical contractor with local experience and checking for HOA requirements helps ensure your home electrical project runs smoothly and meets all local standards.

Helpful?

In Matthews, neglecting to clean pollen from outdoor outlets, allowing shrubs to block exterior panels, or failing to check for condensation after storms can all reduce the lifespan of your electrical system. Overusing power strips during hot summers, skipping routine inspections, and using indoor-rated extension cords outside are common mistakes. Regularly maintaining outdoor fixtures and practicing good home electrical safety habits can help prevent premature wear.

Helpful?

In Matthews, visible corrosion on electrical panels, water stains near outlets, or frequent circuit breaker trips—especially after storms—are warning signs. If you notice flickering lights, warm switch plates, or persistent buzzing sounds, contact a qualified electrical contractor. Outdated fuse boxes, missing weatherproof covers, or aluminum wiring are additional indicators that your home’s electrical system may need professional attention or upgrades.

Helpful?

In Matthews, the humid subtropical climate brings high humidity, summer storms, and frequent lightning, all of which can affect electrical systems. Electrical contractors often recommend weatherproof enclosures, rust-resistant materials, and enhanced surge protection for outdoor installations. Moisture can quickly corrode connections or cause panel condensation, so sealing crawl spaces and using moisture barriers are essential for long-term home electrical safety in this region.

Helpful?

In Matthews, consider scheduling electrical work if your breakers trip during heavy AC use, you see storm damage on outdoor fixtures, or your lights frequently dim. Homes built before 1980 or with older panels should be inspected by an electrical contractor. If you’re planning major appliance upgrades, a home office, or smart home improvements, it’s wise to act before peak summer or after severe weather for optimal safety and efficiency.
