They were responsive, even called me to schedule the appointment since I'd bought a deal from them. They were on-time and did the work quickly. I was happy with everything except I would have preferred if they'd put down a drop cloth to catch all of the dropping insulation as they cut the holes. They did vacuum, but it's very hard to get that all cleaned up once it's on your furniture and everywhere.

Tim and his employee installed three ceiling fans. Typically this is an home improvement project I would do, however the ceiling fan at the ceiling was hot regardless what the position of the wall switch; off or on. I could not get the switch on the wall to work. So I needed a electrician, he (Tim) was able to figure this out quickly and install the rest of my fans. He was efficient and professional.

They did a great job. They came on time. It took them a little over an hour to complete the work. No additional fees with the Big Deal. The price was reasonable. Scheduling the Big Deal was easy.
Description of Work: They installed a ceiling fan and some wall switches. They had to install a box to hold the fan.

They worked quickly and quietly and cleaned everything up completely.
Description of Work: Tim Voth came with a co-worker. They provided two man-hours of labor for $111 plus parts. They installed a ceiling fan and wired a new outlet to our deck for an old heirloom lantern that was handmade for my grandfather. The lantern needs rewiring, a service they do not provide. But Tim gave me the info I needed to get the job done.

They did a GREAT job. The list of things we needed just kept growing, and we were very impressed with how thorough they were, how they kept up with our requested additions, and overall how they got it all done in just 4 days of work. Everything works very well now, and we no longer have concerns about what the previous owner may or may not have done to our electrical system. So great job overall!
Description of Work: Checked all connections for two houses on property to double check a previous owner's DIY electrical work, making sure everything was safe and up to code. Along with that, they corrected numerous improper connections, fixed lots of non-working outlets and lights, moved fixtures, added/altered switch connections, installed lots of new outlets, and did a really thorough overhaul of our electric system. We had a four page single spaced list of all the things we identified as needing work, so it was a huge project.

Aaron came out on 8/9/13, and determined that the pendant lights could be moved. He arrived on time. Confirmed with me as to exactly where I wanted the lights hung and installed them. He was very polite and professional. He also helped me and my husband move a very heavy table ,which was under where he had to work. He also repaired a loose outlet, I was concerned about. I have used Volt Electric in the past, and am always very pleased with Tim and Aaron's work. I would highly recommend the company.
Description of Work: Tim, the owner came out, and we discussed how I wanted two pendant lights moved closer to a window. I wanted the lights centered in front of the window and hanging over a small counter top/kitchen area in the den downstairs, which will be installed, after I get cabinet bids.

With only 1 week lead time Tim Volt's electrician, Aaron, arranged to arrive after lunch on August 5th to coordinate with the delivery of a hot tub I had bought from a neighbor. Aaron, was very efficient and professional and made sure nothing went wrong even thinking to have me remove my car from the garage area where he was drilling through the wall to avoid any possibility of a chip flying and dinging the car! Aaron surveyed the site and gave me his opinion regarding the best layout and the most efficient and least expensive option was selected. The work was perfect and everything worked perfectly on the first attempt and Aaron cleaned up after himself as if he hadn't even been there. the work took 3 1/2 hours and was $135 less than the original quote. Hot Tub Recyclers were so impressed they also asked Aaron for business cards to provide their clients!!! A very satisfying and pleasant experience! My experience with Angie's List is now 2 for 2! Highly recommend Volt Electric!
Description of Work: Installed a 50 amp GFI breaker and 220 volt power supply in my garage panel and ran the line through the wall down under my lower level porch and to my hot tub installed simultaneously by Hot Tub Recyclers (from Angie's List also). Grouted and repaired stacked stone wall where penetration was made. Hooked up and fired up the hot tub to assure proper functioning and everything worked perfectly. The price ended up being $135 less than original quote partially due to change in location and partially Aaron's efficiency!

Made an appointment with Tim at Volt last week. We were scheduled to have our work done at 8--8:30 AM on 8/7/2013. The electricians arrived at our home at 7:45 AM, evaluated the work to be done and had completed all the work by 8:35 AM. Very pleased with their professional demeanor, efficiency and complete competence. A great experience working with these folks.
Description of Work: Installed (Replaced ) an attic fan and installed (replaced) 2 pendant lights in kitchen.

I had an appointment at 11:15 AM. At 12 noon, I called to see if they'd forgotten about me. He said he had wanted to do a "telephone estimate", but had never called me to deliver that message. He said he'd be here in two hours, it's now 3 hours later, and I had to call again--and he said it would be another hour. I've been waiting here for 3 hours and 45 minutes after the scheduled appointment time, and still no electrician. He did show up, and did a great job.

Perhaps the most honest and professional such experience I`ve had. Tim came the day he said he would and installed the pump motor. Unfortunately the pump began to leak significantly and he said he would be out to fix it. He called me back later though and said he was uncomfortable working on the pump further. He would accept no money from me although he spent a couple of hours at my house and installed the motor. He simply determined that his level of experience working on pool pumps was not adequate enough to work on it further and advised me to call a pool company , which I did , same day and now my pool pump is fixed. To make a short story very long , I was impressed greatly with Tim`s honesty and will definetly use him again. Heck of a guy ....

Called Volt based on Angie's list record to troubleshoot and repair electric problems at rental house. He answered right away and was able to come out that afternoon less than an hour later. Initial diagnosis was a bad meter, and Tim said to call Duke Power to replace it, or he'd discount repair if he was wrong. While Tim was there he installed a light switch for me returning functionality to an outdoor light, and he looked at some other work, which he was able to schedule for the following morning. Duke Power came out later that day and said it was a bad lug nut on the meter box. Tim came out the next morning as promised and in addition to the work I'd scheduled he replaced the meter box, since lug nuts were unavailable for the very old box, fixing the problem. And he delivered on the discount, waiving the trip fee on both trips, as well as the 5% discount to Angie's List. I'm impressed with Volt Electric and recommend them highly! Professional, punctual, fast workers and a great value.
Description of Work: Troubleshot and repaired electrical problem where part of house was dim/flickering lights and outlets, replacing the old meter box that had a bad lug-nut. Also installed a new light switch, pull-chain light fixture, GFCI outlet, another outlet, and neatened up the electrical wiring in the basement.

A storm came through the area last night, causing fairly wide-spread power outages. I was woken up at 5am by my security alarm going off. After a long experience of panic and police, we found that the cause was a GFI that had tripped and had cut power to the alarm. I called Volt Electric, and they said they would come out right after lunch and get the GFI changed. They came promptly at 12:50, and finished the job by 1:20. They were respectful of my home, respectful of me, kind to my dog, responsive to any questions, and very efficient. They even plugged my things back into the outlets that were bad. Thank you so much! This company will be the first I call next time I have any electrical problems.
Description of Work: I had 3 power outlets replaced/moved around. One was a faulty GFI, that was the original reason for the call.

I made the appointment about one week before work was done. When I checked back the day before work was scheduled I was told no record of my appointment existed. The owner did agree to abide by the original appointment date and time. The electrical contractor appeared on time and informed me in advance he was on the way. I was surprised he did not have the wall switch on his truck since I told the owner what needed to be done. It took two hours of billable time to replace two light switches. The contractor charged from the time the truck left the business until the work was completed. Billable time included 30 minutes taken up because the contractor had to leave to buy a light switch. I called the owner to discuss my concerns about the billable time and the switch. He explained that there are lots of switches and he cannot stock them all on the truck. He informed me it is standard practice to bill from the time the truck leaves the business including time spent purchasing materials.
Description of Work: Two light switches were rewired and replaced.

[member name removed], although we stock at least 5000 items on our trucks,it is impossible to have every item needed. The switch you needed is very uncommon. So uncommon in fact, we are lucky if we install such a switch once a year. You told me up front,you needed a new switch-you did not specify. It was a pleasure working for you and we hope to do business again! Tim

FANTASTIC - he was in and out in under two hours and will be crediting me for the half hour that I had already paid for that wasn't necessary. This guy is a man of integrity and skill - just what every busy, working single woman needs. An excellent and respectable electrician! Thanks Tim!!!
Description of Work: One of my breakers was blown. I tried replacing it myself and it still wouldn't work. Called Volt and Tim replied promptly, came right out, identified the problem and has come up with a long term solution to resolve the problem. I will be using him again to replace the poorly 'rigged" electrical system in my sixty year old home. He's awesome.

They were on time, polite, friendly, and professional at their job. I feel as though I got more than I paid for. Will be the first I call when I need more electrical work.
Description of Work: I had planned to have one electrical outlet moved to eliminate the tangle of cords I had where I had hung a new TV. Two gentlemen arrived as expected and listened to what I needed done. Then suggested they also move the cable outlet thus making a huge difference to the amount of wires needed. The Men were very polite and finished their work in the allotted time. They left the area very clean and made sure all the wires were correctly connected before they left.

We bought a deal on Angie's List for $99.00 which included an outdoor outlet installation and electrical inpection of house. The person who came was prompt and did the inspection and installed an outdoor outlet on the same day. We are planning to call him and do some more work soon. We were able to get our Christmas lights on the house because of that outdoor outlet.
