DO NOT HIRE VOLT Working with Volt has been a frustrating and baffling experience. Initially they were great, they did their job, were easy to schedule with, and were friendly while in our house. Once their work failed inspection though everything shifted. We hired Volt back in the summer of 2022, our job has yet to be completed over a year later. Since they initially failed their inspection we have tried numerous times to schedule a follow up with them. Sometimes we'd hear back from them and set something up only for them to no show or cancel due to a chance of rain. This was the more rare outcome though as usually our attempts to contact them were ignored. It got to the point where they were ignoring our phone calls and would only answer if we called on a different phone. Throughout this time we have been patient and understanding, giving them the benefit of the doubt. We've cancelled plans to be there to let them into the house, moved our schedules around just to make it work, and still they refuse to do the work that we've paid them for. Volt has been by far and away the worst service I have ever worked with. If you value your time and your money, choose anyone else.
Description of Work: Replace a fuse box and other electrical elements in the house.

We've had major flickering throughout the house. They came out and knew exactly what the problem was and fixed it right away! Wonderful company! We will be using them again in the near future for some upgrades. Thank you Volt Amp!

I have had Luigi and Volt amp to my home several times. I first had them come out to put a few ceiling fans in for my new construction home. They later came pit and re wiring in my back yard for lighting I was putting in with my new patio They were so great with those jobs I finally decided to hire them to come and rip out all the builders romex, replace it with conduit, hung 15 can lights and added several new amp to my fuse box. It would be foolish to hire anyone but the best and they definitely are the best!!!! Thanks Luigi.

it was great. they showed up when they said they would, got the job finished a day ahead of schedule, and it look better then I thought it would. I have also had them do a few small jobs around the house to such as replace outlets and install new ceiling fans. no job is to big no job is to small for them. Volt Amp is the only way to go for any electrical work.

Response from Volt-Amp Electric
Mr. [Member Name Removed], I am sorry for your inconvenience. Angie's list did not notify us that there was a new request for work. I have written them regarding this matter. As you can see from our reviews, this is not typical for us. If you have any other questions, you can reach us at 847-531-VOLT (8658). Thank you.

It went very well. I hired them based on a recommendation from a colleague at work and I wasn't disappointed. I did not give them a rating on the price because I did not have any other quotes for the job but I am more than willing to pay for quality work and the quality of their work is outstanding. I kept adding things for them to do and they were very accommodating. I'm very pleased with the end result.
Description of Work: Upgraded service panel in house and garage, installed new can lights in living room, and did some rewiring work in the house.
