A space heater set off an electrical fire in one customer's house. In a July 2026 review, that homeowner wrote that Matt Tavano came over quickly, diagnosed the problem, fixed it, and made sure everything was safe before he left. That is the register Tavano Electric works in — a small Swampscott outfit, Matt and a helper or two, whose Massachusetts electrician licence #54747 is active on the state registry under Matthew Tavano's name. The jobs run the whole range. In an August 2026 review, a customer with a 50-year-old panel that was overloaded and full of loose wires and breakers had it swapped for a new one, with the breakers marked afterward. That same month a hair salon owner wrote that Matt came the day after being contacted and had a new circuit and switch in for their air conditioner the same day. Other 2026 reviews cover five outlets replaced and updated, a kitchen hood over a stove, smoke detectors and ceiling fans, a finished basement, a pool, and an 1880s house whose inspection-flagged wiring needed sorting out. Two things keep turning up in what people write. The first is being told what is going on: a June 2026 customer upgrading her panel, newly widowed and handling home repairs for the first time, said he explained what was needed and answered her questions without overwhelming her, and another that month whose service was upgraded and basement remodel wired said Matt double-checked every connection and outlet. The second is price — more than ten reviews mention it, and they call it fair, reasonable, or quoted up front. One June 2026 customer pointed out that Matt solved the problem over the phone when he could have driven out and charged a service call. Speed shows up too, without the corners being cut: a July 2026 customer went from first phone call to finished job in under five days, and a July 2026 bathroom renovation drew a note about on-time arrivals every day and a job area kept clean. He is used by other trades as well — an HVAC contractor wrote in June 2026 that he brings Matt onto his job sites. For an old house's wiring, a panel or service upgrade, an EV charger, or a single fixture or outlet, this is a straightforward call, and all three places people review him sit at 5.0. Describe the job fully when you phone: the basement, bathroom and kitchen jobs in his reviews run across several days, and a June 2026 car-charger customer's experience — talked out of a plug-in setup in favour of hard-wiring — suggests it is worth asking him how he would do it before you settle on a plan.
Matt did a great job troubleshooting my electrical problem.I had a 50 year old electrical panel that was overloaded and had a bunch of loose wires and breakers.He replaced the panel with a brand new up to date safe panel .Took the time after installation to mark which breakers went to what room or piece of equipment in the house..also installed a gfi outlet for my dishwasher making it up to code .. very knowledgeable
Great quality work, and professional communication - will hire again for future electrical work! We moved into an old house (built in 1880s), and hired Matt to fix some electrical issues found in the inspection, to replace light fixtures, and install an overhead light in a room. Matt and his team ran into some surprises, like exposed wires due to bad electrical work done in the past, and handled the issues with care. Highly recommend Tavano Electric!
Matt and his team did an amazing job replacing and updating 5 outlets at my place. He is very detailed, transparent and professional. He explained every steps of the process and delivered qt a fair price. Highly recommend.
After contacting Matt, he arrived at our hair salon the next day and knew what needed done and started working. He was professional. knowledge and hard working and very reasonable. Not long the same day, we had a new circuit and switch to handle our enormous air conditioner. Would Highly Highly recommend!!
Matt and Dom added and updated 5 outlets at my place and they truly did a great job. They arrived on time, very transparent and provided detailed explanation of the work required before starting and throughout. they were both extremely professional and the price is fair.
