Working in Matthews
Matthews was incorporated in 1879 and named for a director of the Central Carolina Railroad. The 2020 census counted 29,435 people. It is in Mecklenburg County, with Mint Hill to the northeast, Stallings across the Union County line to the southeast, and Charlotte on the other sides.
Building, electrical, mechanical and plumbing permits in Matthews are issued by Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement, the same office that covers Charlotte and the other towns in the county, while the Town of Matthews handles planning and zoning. A permit is required to install, extend, alter or repair an electrical system. We pull it under our North Carolina license, 27147-U, and schedule the inspection.
Most of Matthews is on Duke Energy. Union Power Cooperative serves the eastern corner of town and the area off Sam Newell Road north of Independence Boulevard. When a job touches the meter or the service, the utility has to disconnect and reconnect, so tell us who bills you and we coordinate it.
Whether it is a full panel in an older house near downtown or an EV charger in a newer subdivision, you get an estimate first. Send a photo of the panel with the form and we can usually tell you what you are looking at before we come out.
