(865) 298‑VOLT Tap to call · (865) 298-8658Everyday residential electrical work, plus the bigger projects most homes need once or twice in their life.
Replacing tired or undersized panels so the rest of the house has something safe and adequate to run on.
Call when: breakers trip often, the panel is a known problem brand, or you're adding load the house was never sized for.
New fixtures, recessed lighting, under-cabinet runs, fan installations and replacements, mounted level and wired right.
Call when: you're updating a room, adding light where there isn't any, or a fixture is loose or flickering.
Whole-home surge protection at the panel, which is a small job that protects a lot of expensive equipment.
Call when: you've lost electronics to a storm, or you're putting real money into appliances and HVAC.
Finding the actual cause instead of guessing at it. Dead circuits, warm devices, buzzing, and wiring that was never done correctly.
Call when: something stopped working, smells hot, or a previous repair didn't hold.
Replacing worn devices, adding outlets where you actually need them, and correcting protection in kitchens, baths, garages and outdoors.
Call when: outlets are loose or discolored, a GFCI won't reset, or you're tired of running extension cords.
Working through the electrical findings on an inspection report so a sale can move forward without surprises.
Call when: you're buying or selling and the report flagged electrical work.
Would we be comfortable with this work in our own family's home?
If the answer isn't yes, the job isn't finished. That's the standard every job at Rauch Electric gets measured against.
We aren't trying to be the cheapest electrician in Anderson County. We're trying to be the one you call back.
Connections made properly, boxes filled correctly, devices set straight, circuits labeled so the next person can read them. The parts nobody sees get the same attention as the parts they do.
You get a price before the work starts, and an explanation of what's driving it. If there's a smaller fix that solves your problem, we'll tell you that too.
Shoes and drop cloths where they belong, drywall cut with care, and the job site cleaner than we found it. Your home isn't a job site to us, it's your home.
Calls get returned. If we can't pick up while we're in a panel, you'll hear back the same day. You'll know when we're coming and you'll know when we're running late.
Meet Matthew Rauch
Matt came up through a formal apprenticeship and has worked residential and commercial jobs in several states, including about ten years running work as a foreman. He came back to East Tennessee to do what he does best: careful electrical work in people's homes.
Technical skill is only part of it. Matt built Rauch Electric around keeping his word, respecting people and their property, working hard, and never letting quality slide just because nobody is watching.
Based in Clinton and serving homeowners across Anderson County and the surrounding area.

Residential services
Everything below is residential. If you're not sure your job fits, call and describe it. If it isn't something we do, we'll tell you who to call.
The panel is where every circuit in the house begins. When it's undersized, corroded, or a brand with a known failure history, everything downstream is working against it.
Lighting changes how a room feels more than almost anything else you can do to it, and it's one of the few upgrades you notice every single day.
A surge device at the panel is one of the least expensive things you can add to a house and one of the few that protects nearly everything in it.
Finding the actual cause takes longer than guessing, and it's the only way the problem stays fixed.
The devices you touch every day are also the ones most likely to be worn out, poorly installed, or missing protection they should have.
Real estate timelines don't wait. Electrical findings on an inspection report need to be handled correctly and documented clearly so the sale keeps moving.
Standby and portable generator connections, done so the transfer is safe and the setup matches how you'd actually use it during an outage.

About
Craftsman. Owner. In the electrical trade since 2004.
Matt started in the electrical trade in 2004 and came up through a formal apprenticeship, which is still the way the trade is best learned: under people who have already made every mistake and won't let you repeat them.
He worked residential and commercial jobs across several states and spent about ten years as a commercial foreman, running crews and answering for the quality of everything that went in the ground and in the walls. That experience is the reason he's comfortable on a job that turns out to be more complicated than it looked.
He came back to East Tennessee to focus on residential work, because that's where the craft and the customer are closest together. In a house, the person paying for the work is standing right there, and they have to live with the result.
Rauch Electric is the shop he built to do that work on his own terms: enough structure that there's real accountability behind the job, small enough that the owner is the one doing it.
Would we be comfortable with this work in our own family's home?
If the answer isn't yes, the job isn't finished.
Technical skill is only part of what defines an electrician. The rest of it shows up in how somebody behaves in your house when nothing is going according to plan.
If he says he'll be there Tuesday, he's there Tuesday. If something changes, you hear it from him before you have to ask.
Not on a hidden splice, not on a connection nobody will ever see, not at four o'clock on a Friday. The work is either right or it isn't done.
You'll understand what's wrong, what the options are, and what each one costs, in plain language and before the work starts.
Careful with floors and finishes, tidy while the work is happening, and cleaned up before he leaves.
Erica Rauch handles scheduling, invoicing and the paperwork, which is why calls get returned and quotes don't disappear into somebody's truck for a week.
Between the two of them, you get a real shop with real accountability behind it, without the layers of a large outfit between you and the person doing your work.
Matt does the work. As Rauch Electric grows, anyone who joins him will be held to the same standard, trained the same way, and accountable to the same question about your family's home.
