We enjoyed working with Mike who repaired wiring on the roof connected to AC units and solar panels, as well as redid the wiring in our fuse box. He gave us options related to the work and explained his work before and after the process. Mike was very professional and we would recommend his services.

Mike was so great! Our outdoor lights stopped working, so I called. Mike was very responsive and was able to come out the next day. He was so thorough and took the time to explain everything that needed to happen. Its a huge relief to find someone we like and trust. We'll definitely call him again if we have any issues in the future.

Finding McDonald Electric was such a relief. Mike McDonald was responsive, timely, professional, and friendly. He responded to an emergency call at my home within 20 minutes and safe-stated an unsafe situation promptly. The service was also very affordable. I will seek help from McDonald Electric for all of my future electrical needs. Service: General repairs

I needed to get a new electrical outlet installed in my garage for a wall-mounted garage door opener. Mike was incredibly responsive (there at 7:30 the very next morning!), took the time to ask questions and research the best location to put the new outlet based on the needs of the opener, and didn't hesitate to take the time to address my own concerns.

He's very knowledgeable and you can tell a high quality of work really matters to him. The new outlet is perfectly placed and looks fantastic, and will be great both for the opener and future Christmas lights =) I will absolutely call Mike again for any future jobs. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an electrician who is fast, thorough, well-priced, and really cares about his work as the craft that it is. Thanks, Mike!

We had some issues with GFI outlets in our bathrooms, Mike first tried to help troubleshoot over the phone, when that wasn't successful he came out and looked at our panel. Problems there! Melted wires etc. not good. Mike showed up the next business day on time, and had the panel rewired to a very high quality standard. Awesome work, great guy, HIGHLY recommended!

Mike did a great job upgrading and performing safety checks and repairs on the old fixer-upper house we purchased recently. He was on time, did great work and explained what he was doing and why, and charged a fair price. Couldn't ask for better service. Highly recommended.

Mike was a few minutes early for both the estimate and for the electrical panel repair/rewiring the following day. He was professional, sensibly priced, and he did outstanding work in a reasonable amount of time. His thorough assessment and repairs made our home a much safer place to live, and it fixed multiple electrical issues we thought were unrelated to the job we hired him for.

I called McDonalds Electric because they showed up first on my google search and were close. I am SO glad that i did. Mike McDonald was extremely responsive, called me back right after I left a message and then fit me in the very next day between his scheduled appointments. His communication was stellar and his explanations were understandable and thorough. I will definitely be calling him for any electrical work in the future and recommending him to others.

Mike was working for one of our neighbors. We hired him to re-wire an outside light and to install a new outside outlet. He ended up rewiring our overloaded breaker box. All the work was done quickly and professionally. A very courteous fellow and a knowledgeable electrician. Services: Install outdoor lighting, Install outlets or switches, Replace or upgrade panel

One of my outside lights was no longer working. I tried fixing it myself but couldn't get it to work. I called McDonald Electric because of the number of high star reviews on google. Mike texted me when he was on his way and was able to resolve the non-working light very quickly. I appreciated the advance contact because if helped me get the work area ready. He was courteous, professional, and clearly competent. The next time I have a need for an electrical service I'll be reaching out to him.

Mike from McDonald Electric was quick to reply to my initial voicemail and was prompt, knowledgeable, and fixed our initial problem in a jiffy. Based on that experience, we hired him for further repair work, and had the same excellent results. In addition to doing really good work, he's a great guy- he clearly cares about what he does, and also about people. I'll definitely be calling him for any electrical needs in the future!

Agree Excellent work by Mike! He was punctual, efficient, skilled and kind. I am so thankful that he replaced the old control panel outside with burnt wires so we can be safe in our home. He also removed a monstrosity of a light fixture in the kitchen that had shorted out.then replaced it with a lovely glass dome that he had in his office from Albuquerque Glass. with no fee.

Mike was absolutely amazing. I had no idea where to begin looking when we noticed some electrical problems at our house, but McDonald's is definitely the right choice! Mike was kind, professional and returned our message immediately. Fixed our issue so quickly! This company is definitely the best choice for any electrical needs. I would highly recommend and will be a returning customer for any of my electrical needs! Thank you Mike!

Mike was kind, prompt, explained the whole process of replacing my electrical panel which was showing burnt wires which would become a fire hazard had I not gotten it replaced. He gave a great price on the panel and fixed it right away. I definitely recommend McDonald Electric for all electrical needs. I will definitely call him again for any future electrical needs, he has been superb and professional.

My wife and I just had our home upgraded with new stucco. After it was completed an issue came up with our lights in the back of our house. After calling a number of electricians on a Friday morning we were able to get a response from McDonald Electric who happened to be in the area of our home and stated he would stop by within a our or two. Fifteen minutes later he had us back to normal.
Mike McDonald and Steve G. were in my mind, ULTIMATE PROFESSIONALS.

A section of my house had lost power due to a loose wire in another room that had power! A less experienced electrician very well may not have found this unlikely daisy-chain instigated problem, and so could have cost me hundreds if not thousands of dollars in diagnostics and even rewiring. I have found my electrician.

Mike returned my call quickly(I left a message before business hours) and setup a time for an estimate the same day. Mike scheduled the service call within 24hours. Mike and his crew arrived on time, were very professional, courteous and completed the job within the estimate provided.

Mike McDonald is all you can ask for: courteous, on-time, interested in your home's needs, interested in you, reasonably priced and knowledgeable. You will never need another firm or individual for any type of electrical work.

Not really a person to write much like this, but McDonald Electric deserves a mention. I love family owned businesses and that personal attention. My mom and dad used them when Mike's dad ran the business and I have used them for all of my electrical needed.

Mike has been doing electrical work for my family for over twenty years. He is incredibly pleasant, beyond honest, and super quick to respond to service calls. He has, on more than one occasion, arrived to my house to find simply a tripped switch.
