Our Story
Founded on a legacy of expertise dating back to 1996, McGehee Electric, LLC has been a trusted name for Montgomery homeowners since 2013. Owner Donald McGehee, a Master Electrician with over 25 years of hands-on experience, worked alongside his father Robert and other skilled professionals, learning the trade's intricacies. He identified a common need in our community—reliable solutions for aging and problematic electrical systems. That foundational commitment to quality and safety led him to obtain his state electrical contractor's license and establish his own business. Today, as a licensed and insured sole proprietor, Donald and his lead electrician, John Turner, continue this tradition. They focus on performing durable installations with quality materials, providing Montgomery residents with the personal attention and peace of mind that comes from professional, experienced service. Every project, from a simple outlet repair to a full generator installation, is handled with the care of a local expert who understands Alabama homes.
Questions and Answers
What should I do if my AFCI breaker keeps tripping in my Montgomery home?
Frequent AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) trips are a common issue in older Montgomery homes, often signaling hidden wiring problems or appliance faults. At McGehee Electric, we start with a thorough diagnostic inspection to pinpoint the exact cause—whether it's damaged wire insulation, a loose connection, or a specific device on the circuit. Our Master Electricians have extensive experience with the wiring systems found throughout Alabama. We provide a clear explanation and a safe, code-compliant repair to restore your power and, most importantly, eliminate the fire hazard these devices are designed to detect.
Why should I hire a licensed electrician instead of attempting a DIY electrical repair?
While DIY projects can be tempting, improper electrical work is a leading cause of home fires and can create serious safety hazards for your family. As a state-licensed and insured electrical contractor, McGehee Electric ensures all work meets strict Alabama safety codes. Our Master Electrician has over 25 years of experience diagnosing and correcting issues that often stem from previous unpermitted work. We provide safe, reliable repairs and installations that protect your home's value and give you lasting peace of mind, which is well worth the investment.
What is involved in a full electrical panel upgrade or replacement?
Upgrading your electrical panel is a significant project that ensures your Montgomery home can safely handle modern electrical demands. Our process begins with a detailed assessment of your current system and your family's power needs. We then handle the entire installation, which includes securing permits, safely disconnecting the old panel, installing the new panel and breakers, and thoroughly testing the system. As licensed professionals, we prioritize safety and cleanliness, ensuring the upgrade complies with all current codes. This service often improves home safety, supports new appliances, and can prevent frequent breaker trips.
