## The honest read

Matthew Burt Electrical is a one-man Danvers shop built around personal relationships and full-scope electrical work — reviewers describe using Matt for everything from a pool installation to a backup generator to wiring a heated driveway. Six reviews spread across eight years, all five stars, keep returning to the same theme: he shows up fast and finishes the job himself.

The clearest example is a 2018 storm call — a fallen tree pulled the power wires off a Danvers house, and Matt was on site within 20 minutes, got supplies, and had power restored by 7:30 that evening, coordinating with the town inspector the same night. More recently, a November 2025 review describes a 60-amp-to-200-amp service upgrade with new circuits and exterior lighting, and a March 2026 review describes a same-day fix for a smoking garage outlet that turned into a full day working through wiring issues left by earlier work.

The Better Business Bureau lists the business as not accredited with no complaint history on file, and shows 11 years in business — there's nothing negative in the written record to weigh against the praise, just a short one given how few reviews exist. Anyone hiring for a bigger project should confirm current availability, since the reviews describe a single electrician handling everything himself.

**Strengths:**
- Emergency response — restored power the same evening after a 2018 storm knocked wires down
- Service upgrades — took a 60-amp panel to 200 amps with new circuits
- Same-day fixes — resolved a smoking outlet and past wiring issues in one visit
