“Wow super impressed with the professionalism and quick service. I’ve been without hot water for several days and they were able to schedule me same day service. Highly recommend Terrance as he was very polite and professional.”

“Aaron and Jose did an absolutely amazing job making a new outlet and installing my new pendent light over my island! If I ever need anything electrical done again I’ll be using Volthouse hands down!”

“I'm so impressed with Volthouse. Their work and staff are fantastic! My call was answered promptly by Jonathan and I received an appointment right away. First visiit, a problem was fixed by Terrance that stumped another electrician, who happened to answer the phone on a holiday weekend. Terrance was amazingly quick at diagnosing and fixing the problem. He was very professional and courteous. After this experience, I made the decision to go with them to replace my old fuse box. I had been putting this off until I found someone whose work I trusted. Aaron arrived promptly after receiving a permit. Getting the permit, and having the work done all went very quickly. I asked for labeled fuses and this task was performed in a very thorough manner too. What a relief to have all this taken care of by professionals. I was dreading the cost but it was very reasonable. The price was a little higher than a competitor and they matched it. I highly recommend Volthouse!”

“I hired Volthouse Electric to replace my 10 year old smoke alarms. They were very fast to respond and get my project scheduled. The techs were very professional as well! I have a few other projects coming up and will definitely call on Volthouse!”

“Terrence, the tech was great with communication and his work. Definitely will ask for him next time I need electrical work.”

“Working with Volthouse Electric has been easy, transparent, and a real joy. The free estimate was in depth and hassle free. Terrence and Aaron were in and out in a little over an hour, and we now have 2 new outlets and a new breaker. I highly recommend them for all your electrical needs!!”

“Terrance installed a wired Google camera/flood light for us. He had to install new wiring up through the attic in a tight spot and the work is beautiful! Incredibly pristine craftsmanship! It was easy to schedule with Volthouse, someone always answered the phone and email correspondence was quick and easy. Thank y'all for helping us!”

“Had them come out to fix an issue with my stove, they got it working with 20 mins. 3 months later same issue, I called them back and they came right back out and fixed it. They are super knowledgeable and willing to make sure I had a working stove before leaving!”

“Jose and Aaron showed up on time, early actually. They were quick, experienced, honest and fixed my wiring woes professionally. I will be doing a future project with this company.”

“Terrance was friendly, did good work, was on time, answered all of my questions and was clearly very knowledgable. I paid the exact amount that was quoted to me and had the option to decrease cost by using acceptable materials that I already had on hand. I will be using Volthouse in the future for any electrical services that are to complex to address myself. Thank You!”

“Volthouse sent Marcus and Aaron to perform the electrical work needed to bring the electrical work connecting our house to our well-house up to code. The work involved trenching about 40 feet to place the electrical lines in conduit underground and encasing the exterior electrical lines with conduit along the back of the house. The showed up on time, were pleasant, worked diligently and steadily until the job was completed, and cleaned up after themselves. I would definitely recommend Volthouse based on their work.”

“They answered my questions over the phone/text and I was able to schedule with their electricians quickly. Jose and his colleague (sorry I didn’t catch his name) came on time and were very courteous. I was impressed how fast they finished the job. The cost was fair and comparable to the quotes I received from other contractors. I’d definitely use them again and recommend them to our friends.”

“Awesome experience. Responsive and fast. Very happy with the work done. Highly recommended.”

“The guys at Volthouse were outstanding. From my first phone call (thanks, Jonathan), every person I met was professional, kind, patient, and very good at his job. The team of two, Aaron and Jose, showed up on time and tackled the three items on my list. They made sure everything was perfect and could not have been nicer. The bill was very fair for the work they did. I will absolutely be using Volthouse for all my electric repairs and maintenance going forward.”

“My main breaker panel, wire, straps, ground rods, ground wire, intersystem bonding terminal, surge protector with City of Austin and Austin Energy coordination with permit and inspection fees was completed in one week's time during the Christmas holidays. Jonathan was able to arrange everything. Marcus and Terrance were professional, courteous and very pleasant. Pricing was excellent. I'm happy to support small businesses and plan to use Volthouse Electric for future needs.”

“If anyone needs electrical work done on a new build or rewiring (or if you’re in the Austin area, any and all your electrical needs!), I highly recommend Volthouse Electric & Solar. They are family owned and operated, based in the Austin area. They wired up our house this week and we are blown away at the quality of the work that was done. They are quick, efficient, left the work place CLEAN, even rolled out our trashcan to the street. They also asked questions about things not included in our blueprints like septic tank hookups, making sure we had ample switches around the house to make sure we could turn lights on and off at multiple points. Really great experience, excellent employees, and great workmanship.”

“Had a great experience with our technician. Very honest and knows what he’s doing.”
