Why Choose PLEC
What You Actually Get When You Hire Us
Three commitments, each with something concrete behind it.
Expert Craftsmanship
Work performed under Tennessee Electrical Contractor #82227 and installed to code — properly sized conductors and breakers, correct terminations, and panels labelled so the next person can read them.
Unwavering Safety
We test before we touch and we do not leave a known hazard energised. If we find something outside the scope you called about — a double-tapped breaker, a failing panel, ungrounded circuits — you hear about it before we go further, not after.
Client-Centric Approach
Clear scope and clear pricing before the work starts, and a call before anything changes. We work in occupied homes and active businesses, so we clean up after ourselves and stay out of your way.

★★★★★
After dealing with a number of electrical contractors over the years, I'm really glad to have PLEC in my corner now. Matthew approaches the work with a clear focus on safety, code compliance, and future-proofing rather than just doing the minimum to get a job done. That mindset was a breath of fresh air as a homeowner who cares about doing things the right way. Communication throughout the project was excellent, and the execution matched it. Matthew was thoughtful in troubleshooting issues, explaining options, and making sure everything was installed cleanly and correctly. It's rare to find someone this competent and detail-oriented in the trades. I'd happily recommend PLEC to anyone looking for electrical work done right.

I reached out to Matt via Thumbtack because I manage multiple properties and needed help troubleshooting an electrical issue that had stumped others. No matter what was tried, the breaker kept tripping. Matt responded quickly and was at the property the very next day. From the start, he was professional, respectful to the residents, and completely focused on getting the job done right. What impressed me most was how he approached the issue with both technical skill and creative problem-solving. I wouldn't say he rigged it, but he absolutely worked some magic to finesse the electrical in a way that was safe, effective, and didn't require unnecessary work or expense. The solution worked, and it has held strong ever since. I've been in property management since 2017 and have worked with several electricians, but none have stuck like Matt. He's reliable, shows up when he says he will, keeps a clean and orderly work area, and his pricing is extremely fair. I've already used him for other properties and even for a personal issue in my own home. Matt is now my go-to electrician. I recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for honest, skilled, and dependable work.

I just moved to this state alone as a single mother of two and needed a hand with a lot of electrical. Considering my natural fear of having anyone I don't know here alone.. I couldn't have felt safer having Matthew in my home. He is always going to be my goto electrician as long as I live here...hired for life! Great work and he is quick and efficient which is a talent to be exceptional at working quickly while still having very clean work. With the value of his experience that shows, his pricing is quite humble. Highly recommend!

Our family had a main breaker failure after a power surge and needed someone fast. PLEC came out quickly, got us powered back up without a lot of downtime, and did high quality work. They also helped us navigate the insurance claim process which was a tremendous help. Would definitely call again for electrical work.
