MTE Electric

I recently got an electric vehicle, but I hadn’t prepared a charging solution at home. I was limping along charging with my 120V extension cord which only got a stable 108V at 9A (the Romex was probably too thin), only replenishing 2 miles of range per hour. It took 10 hours to replenish a round trip to Costco! I needed some real power in the garage BADLY.
So I called Mike at MTE Electric, and he was able to meet with me a few days later, and he installed last Wednesday. He did a very professional installation in short order. Now I can replenish 29 miles of range per hour instead of 2 (NEMA 14 – 50 240V 50A, holding a steady 230−236V at 40A).
So why only 4 stars? His ballpark estimate was GREAT, but his final price was exactly 75% higher, not so great. In his defense he did spend a lot of time picking up nonstandard supplies. Overall I still recommend MTE.

Mike is great! Friendly, professional, considerate, fairly priced and thorough! We’ve had an incredible experience from start to finish. He installed a myriad of canned lights and added lighting to the exterior of our home. I have already recommended him and I will continue to do so. He kept my home as clean as could possibly be expected when dealing with dust and insulation. He patiently remeasured and spent extra time to ensure that he didn’t have to patch my drywall. He’s a professional, and he recognized it was my home.

Mike is the guy! He had done a good job for me always. Mike is honest, professional and goes out of his way to help out customers. I highly recommend him for electrical work.

«Mike» came out to check wiring for one of our ceiling fans today. A slight delay in calling back when given a call-​back time, but he got the job done. Personable, professional and clean.
Will need a new ceiling fan in another location soon, and we will definitely give him a call!
Update… After all was said and done, one ceiling fan was repaired and a new ceiling fan was installed and balanced.
Mike really knows his stuff and charges very reasonable prices!
And…he’s not a flake like MANY contractors in the area!
He calls back if you leave a message, or he actually answers his phone! Wow! What a concept!
Update January 2016 — Last 2 times we have called MTE Electric, they set up a date to come out and they never showed! Dropped rating from 5 stars to 3!

We had 2 security motion lights installed today by Mike. He’s professional, clean and affordable. We highly recommend him!

Mike has been professional, prompt, and courteous both time I’ve gone with his company for home repairs.
I own a house in Apple Valley but rent it out currently, and will be keeping Mike on as my go-​to electrician. It seems like some of the electricians/​handymans in the area, particularly those who I’ve found on Craigslist, are flakey and do sub-​par work so it’s nice to deal with a professional who has reasonable rates as well.
Go to Mike/​MTE Electric if you need any electrical repairs!

We have had electrical problems in our rental for a week straight. After being bailed on numerous times from another company (no call, no show), we finally got some help from Mike. He was honest, fast and very professional. Will definitely be calling him in the future for any other work!
