About
Operating in Asheville since 1996, M. D. Tatham Electrical Contractors brings nearly 30 years of licensed, code-compliant electrical experience to commercial and light-commercial clients across Western North Carolina. For facility managers and property owners navigating aging infrastructure or expanding electrical demands, Tatham offers panelboard upgrades, power distribution work, EV charging (EVSE) station installations, and standby generator systems with automatic transfer switches — all permitted and executed in-house with no subcontractors. Their EVSE capability is particularly relevant for office buildings, retail centers, and multifamily properties responding to tenant demand for workplace and resident charging. Each charger installation includes a full site assessment, panel evaluation, and permit management, delivering a turnkey solution for property managers who need compliance and speed without managing multiple vendors. Generator and backup power services cover system design, permitting, load sizing, and automatic transfer switch installation — critical for commercial tenants in a region prone to severe weather events. Panelboard and service upgrades are performed to current NEC standards, addressing capacity shortfalls in older mixed-use and warehouse buildings throughout the Asheville metro. Tatham positions itself on transparent, flat-rate quoting and consistent code compliance — a practical fit for facility managers who need predictable budgets and documentation for insurance or capital planning purposes. The firm operates Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM, serving Asheville and the broader Western North Carolina market including surrounding commercial corridors. While primarily residential in marketing emphasis, their stated commercial services and multi-decade track record make them a viable option for smaller commercial accounts, light-industrial facilities, and retail or office properties seeking a reliable local electrical contractor with deep regional familiarity.
