From the first incident of losing power to communications with Wendy and MCA; The process has been smooth, easy and most of all FAST! I had some kind of short circuit or electrical problem where the entire panel needed replaced. Matt came out and fixed it as well as replaced it in three hours. I thought it would take 4 to 8 hours. Matt was real friendly and cool and explained everything! Any future electrical problems that I might have, I will not hesitate to reach out to MCA! These have been a rough few days without power in the heat of the spring, but they have made it well worth it as they are speedy!Posted on Amy CTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

A job well done. Thank you!!Posted on Grey OldmannTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had some electrical work done at our home. We’ve used MCA Electric in the past and were extremely pleased with their service and work. Upon contacting them again they promptly responded and we had Chris from MCA come look at the job and quote. MCA prices are excellent and they do a great job on a timely basis. Both Chris and Charles Jr. were professional and customer service oriented. Thoroughly explained what they were going to do and we actually had some additional electrical needs which they took care of while they were there. I highly recommend MCA Electric. Great company to do business with.Posted on Patrick DevaneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service. Thank you Matt
