If you’re preparing to finish your basement, lighting will soon become a top priority, if it isn’t already. A lack of natural light down there often leaves basements feeling, well, underground. Make light of the situation by illuminating your space. Well beyond the accent lighting of table and floor lamps, you have choices. More often…

Light up the Night with Outdoor Lighting Option

Although it’s the dead of winter around the Denver Metro Area, now’s the time to start thinking about outdoor living spaces.

Whether you’re sitting on a deck or patio, or you want to highlight…

Getting Acquainted with Your Home’s Electrical Panel: Safety and Dependability

As the brains to our homes, it’s surprising (and alarming) so many homeowners fall short when it comes to a clear understanding of the inner-workings of a home’s electrical service panel. The sheet-metal enclosure is located in a basement, dark closet, or an outdoor location; and is outfitted with switches or fuses, numbers, and labels,…

Toasted Bread, Not Household Electronics

Electrical Panel Brands: Not All Are Created Equal

Is your home outfitted with either a Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) or GTE Sylvania-Zinsco electrical panel, or is the panel more than 10-years-old? If you answered “yes,” you’re encouraged to contact a qualified electrician as soon as possible for a thorough inspection of the panel. Doing so will safeguard you and your home against faulty…

When and Why: Upgrading Your Home’s Electrical Panel

Somewhere in your home is an electrical panel. It’s likely housed in a metal sheet enclosure and outfitted with breaker switches, numbers and labels, and a cobweb of wires. It’s here electricity flows to your lights, appliances, and electronics straight from your local power company. Consider it the brains of your home. If you’ve got it…

MZ Electric installed our Tesla wall connector at about half the price of the other estimates we received, and Kevin... was great -- friendly, professional, and dedicated. He waited on hold with Tesla support for a very long time to resolve a configuration issue. Highly recommended!read more

Sean O'Dell and Trevor were very courteous and respectful of our home. Sean identified the problem and fixed it within... 30 minutes. Debbie was wonderful in understanding when I called this morning that we would like to get our repairs taken care of soon as possible and got us on the schedule for this afternoon, but called back because an opening came up sooner. Great local business right in our neighborhood! Reasonable rates .We signed up for their protection plus service.read more

I could not be happier with MZ Electric's work. They upgraded our panel, connected all of our smoke detectors to power... and a new circuit, installed a wired carbon monoxide detector, and installed 5 brand new LED wafer lights. When Sean came over to give us a quote he did a full inspection and then provided detailed explanations of every task that would be done and why it had to be done. They arrived on time, got their work done, and the whole team was so courteous throughout the day. In addition to the work we contracted them to do, they went through and made sure that all of our existing electrical was up to code. When we moved into the house we had Applewood come out to cover exposed wires in the crawl space and replace our outdoor plugs with the correct protection. We have no idea what Applewood did because none of those things were taken care of, so Sean and MZ Electric straightened that all out for us at a fraction of the price Applewood charged us. After they had left, Sean couldn't remember if they completed one final step and so he drove back to our house to double check - most companies would just say "oh well" and only come back out to complete the job after the inspector slaps their hand. We are so happy with MZ Electric and will definitely call them again when winter comes and we cave and install a hot tub.read more

Sean is very detail oriented, when installing all our new light fixtures, he measures everything and makes sure it’s... perfect. Sean doesn’t waste time getting to work. He makes sure to cover the work area with plastic & cardboard, does an excellent job cleaning up and completes the job in a very timely manner. I would definitely recommend him!read more

We have been using Sean at MZ Electric for at least three years. We are always pleased with his honesty, good work and ... reliability. He helped us fix lots of electrical issues as well as installed some difficult lighting and done a ton of repairs. He’s friendly and always help us make a smart choice concerning a repair. He also installed our Tesla charger in 2 garages. I specifically ask for Sean time and time again knowing I will get quality work every time.read more

MZ was great, I would totally recommend them. They were patient answering all my questions. They replaced my 40yr old... electrical panel along with adding a new conduit for a new hot tub. I received bids from 4 different businesses to perform this work, MZ was right in the middle for price but their attention to detail and professionalism made them the best choice by far. My county inspector was impressed with the work and accepted the work immediately. Some of the other businesses tried to cut corners by telling me I didn't need a grounding wire tied to my main water line, however MZ knew the code requirements and as I mentioned earlier the county inspector was impressed with the work.read more

Kevin Ortiz and Phil Hayes did a great job with the recent electrical work at my house. I quoted 4 companies and their... quote process was the most straight forward, their understanding of the requests were spot on, and their pricing was in the mix of the better priced contractors. Scope included installing a sub-panel. running two new 240V circuits through my basement ceiling from the back of the house to the garage, installed two fans and light switches in existing rooms, adding outlets in backyard/outside entryway/and in garage. No change orders required. Work took little longer than quoted but Kevin was very professional about explaining the why and working around my schedule. Would definitely recommend quoting and would use again.read more

MZ Electric did a great job cleaning up after another electrician that I had to fire. I wouldn’t say they’re cheap,... but the prices are fair and they stand behind their work. And they provide the peace of mind that the job is done right. I’m done bargain basement shopping for contractors after a few bad experiences. These guys are punctual, thorough, professional, and competent so they’re definitely worth it. I won’t ever hire another electrician if I can help it.read more

Philip from M Z Electric arrived ahead of schedule, evaluated the job requirements and prepared an estimate. Once we... agreed on work to be done Philip went to work. Shortly after beginning Tyler arrived and seamlessly installed new smoke/co 2 units and assisted in completion of the work. Philip also installed a timer for the lights that was installed , as with all their work, professionally and cleanly. Great attitudes, professional and most of all knowledgeable about their profession. I would not hesitate to recommend MZ Electric to anyone who needs the services they provide. They are a locally owned small business with real people who actually listen to you. Great job and thanks.read more

MZ Electric was really great to work with! We had them install a new plug for our electric vehicle and when they came... out to do the quote they informed us that we needed a new panel as well, this was expected due to our panel being over 50 years old. They pulled the permit and installed everything we needed while staying professional and kind. All work was approved by the city and we are very happy with the work. The best part is that the final total matched the given quote, no surprises!read more

We had a number of electrical issues that needed to be changed not the least of which was to light some artwork above a... fireplace. The electricians arrived on time and were both professional and clearly very knowledgeable and skilled electricians. After careful assessment of the situation they were able to solve a complicated electrical issue. Even prior to the appointment, the receptionist was helpful in providing links to some lighting fixtures that would solve our problem. Without hesitation I would highly recommend MZ Electric.read more

Excellent, professional service at very reasonable prices. Sean and Tyler arrived on time, assessed my project and went... to work. They were finished in a flash and had done EXACTLY what I asked.

Waited a while to post this but this company really came through with a fair price on a panel upgrade and junction... re-wire that some other bids wanted to run me around on. They were quick with the work and let me observe, explaining the work being done. Even helped with an added outlet for a garbage disposal on the fly.read more

This is a fabulous company. My mom has worked with them for years and I hired them to do a landscaping job on her... recommendation (which is always reliable). They’re not only very professional, they’re really nice people. And, my yard looks so good that I kept walking around my house last night to enjoy it. Keith, Kevin and the rest of the crew - thanks very much.read more

Amazing experience for beginning to end! When Keith came to the house to work in the quote, he was incredibly helpful.... After that initial meeting, we needed to add a few things to the job, he had no problem making those additions via email and was very quick to reply. On the day of installation, Sean and his team showed up right on time (even before me!) they did an amazing job- I’m still shocked how much better our home looks with all the new lighting they did for us. Cannot recommend MX Electric more, they were so great to work with!read more

Sean from MZ Electric recently ran some network cable to a hard to reach/access area of our house. MZ Electric were... great at getting me scheduled quickly at a convenient time - and Sean arrived right on time. The estimate was a two hour job, but Sean finished in just one hour and did an excellent job. It is now several weeks later, and the cable has been working perfectly since the day Sean installed it. We've used MZ Electric for several jobs over the years and can't recommend them highly enough! They are punctual, courteous, and do high quality work.read more

We've had MZ help us on 2 houses now: 1 full renovation (whole-home electrical) and most recently a kitchen and living... room update. The entire team is responsive, proactive, and communicative. Both Keith and Sean made sure to understand our needs and provided feedback and recommendations where needed. The crew made sure to protect our floors and furniture with poly-mil at the start of each day and cleaned up after themselves at the end. If you want high-quality work from a company that has your best interests in-mind throughout the project, then hire MZ Electric.read more

This company is great to work with! We had them check and repair the wiring in our attic when we had it cleaned out and... re-insulated due to squirrels. They were very accommodating on scheduling with the insulation crew. They also checked all my recessed cans were correctly installed and installed a couple junction boxes that were needed. They were very thorough and answered all my questions. Very professional and really great work! I highly recommend them!read more

Very professional and friendly. I had a couple of other electricians come and give me a quote and an idea on how to run... an electric line for a hot tub.. they were the only ones that came back with a "reasonable" idea of how to do it without tearing up ceilings or running lines around the house. (My panel and where the hot tub was going to be were on completely different sides of the house.. and my basement had a finished ceiling) Thank you for your tidy work and creative problem solving!!!!!!read more

Best service in all of Denver. A great team with a strong, compassionate leader who authenticates placing the customer... needs on top.

Highly recommend!read more
