I'm very happy with the work from Matt's team. The first time I had reached out for electrical work proposals to multiple contractors, he was the first to respond and he did so with a phone call (I may just be old fashioned, but I appreciate that) and a follow up email. He wasn't the cheapest at the time so I did end up going with a different contractor, but he was very professional and helpful to the point where I felt it prudent to reach back out to him for another project.

For the second project of various upgrades/repairs, we contracted his team on Time and Materials which sometimes makes me nervous because some contractors will milk the time. But fortunately this was NOT the case with the Voltz team. They were on time, efficient, professional, and didn't try to add extra time. They communicated well with me and did a good job cleaning up afterwards.

I'm very happy with the work and would reach out to them again.

I selected Voltz Electric Company, Inc. because of their 5 STAR rating on YELP. I want to add another 5 STARS for their diagnosing my electrical problem quickly. Mike and Christian came early and worked together seamlessly testing and eliminating suspected issues. They suspected what the problem was but they eliminated all other possibilities. What would have cost me thousands - cost me a one hour service call and the correct electrical component. They are on my list for recommendations and I will certainly use them again. Thank you for a job well done,

After collecting a fair amount of quotes, I decided to go with Voltz, and I couldn't be happier! All communication was prompt and thorough, scheduling was a breeze, and come installation day, the work was done efficiently and to my standards (and within the originally estimated time!).

There were two additional requests I made while the team was here: removing an old fan/light and securing a garbage disposal switch (that other electricians were unable to secure). Should I need future electrical work, Voltz will have my business again!

Thanks again for an excellent job, Voltz!

Matt has always been a great communicator whenever I have reached out to Voltz for my electrical needs. I appreciate the value you get when working with Voltz Electric.

I also appreciate Mike and his crew whenever they have been here. Very polite, respectful and professional. He also communicates well and knows his stuff.

Voltz is a great value and experience. Whenever I have electrical issues, my first call is to Voltz!

Ruben and Alexis came to fix some electrical issues at my aging home. They were very professional, very thorough, and did an excellent job. I also appreciate that they cleaned up everything after they finished. They were also great about answering questions about other problems I was having, and offered tips and advice about fixing it. I'm really happy with the service and will definitely call them back for future problems.

We had one outdoor pendant light and six wall mounted lights replaced. Got a reminder call and text about the appt. Electricians arrived on time and were very thorough, efficient, and professional. Mess was cleaned up when they were done. Easy scheduling, great communication, and reasonable rates. Will definitely use them in the future and highly recommended.

Voltz must have some wizard electrician training in their DNA. I just had them install a very difficult heater on a pergola that didn't have any natural mounts. Mike and team looked at the project, the few ingredients I gave them and came up with a brilliant solution. I mentioned to Mike today that I can always call them and they will be both an electrician and a problem solver. You can hire an electrician any day but Voltz will help you solve
your crazy electrical project that you don't think is possible. Hire them now for your next project. They have magical powers that the rest simply don't. Did I mention I called them yesterday and they came today. Amazing. Just do it - hire Voltz for electrical jobs that need to be done right.

Within a week of our initial contact, they scheduled our installation and removed and replaced 10 light fixtures from both inside and outside of our house. They actually did a good work and spent the time to clean every area. I liked their service. Overall i would rate them as good.

Exceptional service. We had an electrical short caused by the recent rain and they found it and repaired it. Not an easy job at all. I called and left a message in the morning and they had two techs out that afternoon. I am delighted with their knowledge and professionalism.

Nick P.

02/06/2023 12:00:00 SA

I reached out to Voltz for a project which we ended up not needing. Matt was responsive and helpful throughout the conversation.

I also asked him a question about a light switch wiring, and he answered the question, and declined payment for his time. He definitely went above-and-beyond to help. In the future, I would definitely use and trust Voltz.

Carl H.

01/03/2023 12:00:00 SA

Matt was very patient listening to me describe a 10-year old monorail lighting system that had stopped working, even after it had been converted from halogen to LED. He had me text him photos to save me from wasting a service call and was able to use those to diagnose the likely issue. Since it was an old system, he recommended going back to the original seller and offered an alternate local vendor, if needed.

We ordered the necessary transformer and he had his electricians come by to install it. On arrival, it was clear that they had been properly prepared and had the expertise to install it correctly. Two months later, it is still working great and we couldn't be happier.

Had a very good experience arranging for some light switches to be swapped out. Matt from Voltz was quick to respond and up front and easy to communicate with. Two technicians came around and quickly finished the job - under the quote.

I had an unrelated electrical issue occur the same night and Matt sent a technician around the next day and fixed the problem.

Highly recommended.

They installed recessed lights in our bedrooms, very satisfied with their job. They are attentive to details, the rooms look great after the project, everything works as intended. There was no hidden fee, they even fixed some small problems for free.

Would definitely recommend them.

We had an issue where we lost power on all outlets and lights on the 4th floor of our house. I called an electrician that troubleshooted the issue for 3 hours who eventually gave up and asked me to call another electrician. When I did, the next one told me that he wouldn't take the request because it's likely that they won't find the issue either and would lose money on me. I was shocked and continued looking for an electrician. That's when I found Matt from Voltz Electric. When I told him about my issue and the experiences with the other electricians, he was in disbelief and told me that he would never leave a customer hanging like this and said it was an electrician's job to fix whatever issue arises. He told me about their pricing structure and asked me if I want to move forward with them. When I asked him what would happen if they didn't find the issue he simply responded: Oh, we will find the issue and we will fix it.
Loved that! This made me feel good and we scheduled an appointment.

Mike and Cristian showed up and I explained to them in detail what I was doing before we lost power. They quickly checked how the 4th floor was wired, opened a couple of outlets and just like that, within 15min they were able to locate the problem and fixed it. Amazing! They are super nice guys as well and I'm sure if we ever had any electrical issues again, we would call Voltz Electric! Thanks Matt, Mike and Cristian. Highly recommend!

I can see why Voltz Electric has so many five star reviews. They not only were able to schedule our installation within a week of contacting them, they also did an outstanding job of carefully removing and replacing 11 light fixtures inside and outside of our home. One installation was a pendant over the stairs, requiring the right type of ladder to ensure safety while installing. On time, very careful, professional installation. And took the time to do a careful cleanup of all areas, including vacuuming up the bits of Styrofoam and cardboard from the new fixture packing materials. Thank you!

Big thanks to Matt, Ruben and Ante for helping with the setup of a Italian electric pizza oven in our home. The Voltz team is very friendly, helpful, efficient and just overall great to work with. They were extremely helpful in figuring out how to best convert the European connection to US and then came and got everything working in under an hour. We have also worked with Voltz on other projects and they have always been awesome. I recommend them wholeheartedly.

A little background... My house was built in the early 60's and only had two prong/duplex outlets. When I first bought the house 11 years ago, I had an electrician come out and install grounded outlets in each bedroom and the living room. I put off 'rewiring' the house because I knew it would be a large job and expensive. Then I started having issues with two outdoor outlets that were installed by a contractor and a landscaper.

I talked to two other companies before I found Matt and Voltz Electric. Matt was very patient on the phone as I described the issues I was having and what I wanted to have done. Matt was able to quickly schedule an appointment. Mike and Cristian came out and immediately took care of the critical/hazardous issues and found that the existing outlets had a ground wire that hadn't been connected for whatever reason. This meant that there was no need to install new grounded outlets! The previous electrician could have just replaced the duplex outlet and used the existing ground wire!

Mike provided recommendations and an estimate on the rest of the work to be done. Matt was able to schedule the remainder of the work very quickly. They sent SIX electricians who went through every single outlet, switch and ceiling fixture to inspect and replace the outdated connections as needed. They even replaced some outdoor lights that I had purchased while inspecting. They covered inside, outside and the garage, all in one day. They were honest, professional, respected the property and cleaned up after themselves.

After the work was done, I had a minor issue with the lights in one room that had been remodeled not too long ago. I sent Matt an email and he called first thing the next morning and had guys out within an hour. It turned out to be a worn out switch that was installed during the remodel. They replaced the switch and all was well.

I am so happy to have found my go to electrical company!

Voltz electric just left my house. Normally, I only review restaurants on Yelp, but couldn't help leaving a review here. They came out today and fixed my electrical outlet issue in two hours. I already had two electricians (one electrician was sent by the home warranty company, another we called) come by my house to fix the issue, both left without fixing it and I was charged a fee without operating outlets.

I must admit that the rate for voltz is definitely on the pricey end (as noted by other reviewers), but the timeliness and quality of work is unparalleled to other companies and worth the extra $. It can make you feel hesitant when you're quoted for time and materials without knowing what the max damage is, but voltz is a fair and honest company. & personal advice: don't skimp because electric safety should be your priority!

Also if you have a project, book voltz early as they are booked out weeks in advance (that's how good they are!)

Thanks to Matt and his crew! Shoutout to the three guys out at our place today! :) five star service all around.

Matt contacted me and offered a refund. He took it very seriously and explained his plan to prevent this from happening again not only to me but also to other customers. Also, he offered his technical feedback and advice on the circuit fix by other electrician which I found super helpful. With all of these, I'm willing to believe what happened was just a one-off (it's hard for every business post COVID) and Matt is on top of it and he can make things right

Spencer H.

Voltz upgraded our ancient residential service with a 200A panel, and ran several new circuits through the crawl space of our 80y/o home.

The work was clean, efficient and without problems. They showed up every day with a full crew to complete the job in 3 days.

I found Voltz through the recommendation of another electrician who no longer works in the area. They are clearly experienced with older homes. And Voltz took the job after another electrician declined to bid after scoping out the required work.

I recommend their work ethic and quality results.

I've used Volts 3 times now, and they are my go-to guys for electrical work.

Most recently, I needed to have power run for a new electric water heater that was going to replace my old gas one. My plumbers would handle the heater and gas-line capping etc., but I needed to get an electrician to handle the supply and the disconnect switch etc.

Sounds like no big deal - except when it came to the schedule. I already had a roof replacement scheduled, so wanted the old gas heater removed within 4 days so that we could remove the flue before the new roof was laid (no point having an unnecessary hole in a brand new roof!). Next - I didn't have the spec's on the new electric heater yet (to know its power requirements), so I was asking Matt to work with unknowns, and do it a couple of weeks sooner than his original availability date.

Matt went out of his way to help me ; his guys turned up an hour ahead of our plumbers, and worked seamlessly with the plumbing company to ensure that everything went unbelievably smoothly - all whilst maneuvering around the debris flying off the roof as our roofers arrived at the same time and started ripping the old shingles off !

Thank you Matt, for how incredibly flexible and helpful you and your guys were.

Steve K.

10/19/2022

Simply the best. Competent, courteous and knowledgeable. Mike and Christian installed plugs, GFI's, and some delicate light fixtures and they were perfect. They even wore gloves! Mike also explained some options for our safety in the future and checked another GFI which he noticed was not reading correctly. We especially liked their pricing structure, charging in 15 minute increments so you know exactly what you are paying for, with the time starting when they arrive, unlike some companies we have tried that charge for travel time. We could not be more pleased and have found our go-to electricians. We highly recommend Voltz. Thank you, Mike and Christian!

I would happily hire Voltz again next time I need electrical work done. I hired them to move some washer/dryer outlets and install outlets in my garage for lights and a garage door opener. Matt was helpful and responsive on the phone (he even called to confirm his employees' arrival time the day before), and his time estimate was accurate. The crew was professional and seems to have done a quality job.

Rudy Y.

12/12/2022 12:00:00 SA

Had a few outlets that went out a couple days ago. I called three Electricians, all 5 star reviews. I went with this company because they were very professional on the phone. The two electricians called me and said they could be here earlier than expected. They were professional, courteous amd knowledgeable. I would use this Company again

Worked with Voltz to have them install a ceiling fan in our vaulted ceiling in the middle of a roof install. Talked to Matt for scheduling and had that in place, when the roofer moved the install up a week they scrambled to get a crew out to our place and the specified time that was given to us by the roofer. They came out on the hottest day of the year and did what they could, but needed the roofer there to move some supplies in order to access the peak of the house so they came back the next morning, now with a crew of 4 to beat the heat and get the fan installed. The crews were clean (spread plastic out in the room they were working in), they were fast and efficient - each crew had their specific tasks to accomplish so they all came together to finish in about 3 hours. I appreciated them being so flexible with the crazy schedule, clean and friendly - will definitely call them again for our next project!

Two electricians came over to remove a dead overhead fan and install a new one. They were on time, completed the job with no problems, and cleaned up afterwards taking the carcass with them. I'm a happy camper!

Experienced a partial room outage in the garage last night. The garage door, garage lights, water heater were all not responsive, but the entry way lights tied to the same breaker switch was working fine. Called early the following morning to explain the issue and the electrician was very kind and patient, helping me diagnose the issue over the phone. Turned out it was just the GFIC switch was tripped! Now I know what that thing is... thanks again to the kind electrician who helped me in my moment of need. Although we didn't require services this time, we will be sure to go with this place with future electrical work!

I needed old knob-and-tube wiring deactivated in my 80-year-old house. I got quotes from five companies and seriously considered two of them. I chose Voltz because their pricing was transparent and they clearly had experience with this type of work. I was quoted 3-5 days, and they got it done in three days with minimal holes in the wall. They treated my house with respect and were nice to my dog. Great job.

J R.

02/12/2023 12:00:00 SA

Yay for an easy and pleasant experience! Two of my light fixtures weren't working. I went on Yelp to ask for quotes, and I heard back very quickly from Voltz. A call was scheduled, and Matt called me right on time. He was very positive and informative. We scheduled an appointment. Two great guys (Mike and Christian) came right on time for the appointment. They were super nice, and tolerated my barking dog with kindness and patience. Mike and Christian jumped up on ladders (not my forte!) and diagnosed the issue. They were willing to go to Home Depot (after getting my input) and bought new sconces. They were installed quickly. The new sconces work and look great. This was so easy. Why can't other house repairs go so well? I have had such bad experiences in the past with other folks not knowing what to do, ordering the wrong part, showing up late. This was the complete opposite. Professional, nice, and efficient. Highly recommend!

Sean L.

Had to completely re-wire our backyard lighting system and Voltz did an awesome job the whole way through. Matt was very responsive and made it easy to set up the appointments. Rueben and his team showed up on time and were extremely professional. They worked very efficiently and did a really great job, highly recommend reaching out for any electrical needs.

Chris D.

01/05/2022 12:00:00 SA

Messaged because of the great reviews. I was out of the service area, but Matt graciously offered to take a call anyways to help. He walked me through the challenges I could encounter owning an older home, set realistic expectations on costs, and fielded a number of questions about adding a detached unit. Amazingly helpful and informative. Thanks, Matt!

Ed B.

09/03/2022 12:00:00 SA

My son had just purchased a large 30 year old house, and the extensive landscape lighting had been left in a serious state of disarray. Several landscape and electrical contractors wanted no part of the job. Once Matt understood that I was willing to pay for diagnostic work, he gave an estimate of what his workers' time would cost. Ruben did an outstanding job in sorting out the various problems in an old and disorganized lighting system. When they left, in less time than I had arranged for, all of the various systems had been made functional and understandable. I can easily see why they have garnered such sterling reviews. They will be my go-to company for any future electrical work.

They're great and very careful about passing AHJ inspections: in fact, the only ones who noted issues with overhead sprinklers interfering with ceiling fans. Their work was also tidy and quick, too, and they engaged us through shifting requirements.

Definitely go with them!

These are the electricians you're looking for.

First off, unlike most competent electricians, they have multiple teams, so they're not already booked up for 6 months. I phoned on Friday morning and they said, with regret(!), that the soonest they could come would be Tuesday. Arrived on time, were not able to locate source of intermittent problem which could have been anywhere in the circuit, but they worked diligently, replaced the breaker which could have been wonky, and charged me basic house call rates. Told me also that if the problem recurred, phone right away, and maybe they could get there while it was still acting up, which would help in diagnosis.

Sure enough, a few days later it did. Phoned at 8 AM, was promised arrival between 1 and 2 PM. Only problem, if you can call it that, is that they arrived at 11:30, just as I was returning from an errand. This time the problem was still acting up, and the electricians were able to locate the source immediately (in a place the previous people hadn't checked, because there'd been no reason to unless they dug up everything) and fixed it briskly and cleanly in about half an hour. No additional charge, because it was part of the previous service.

Great relief that problem was solved; great service.

J E.

I had been having electrical issues for at least 6 months. We had multiple electricians and pge out to our house numerous times and got the run around every single time. I called Voltz and Matt was very sympathetic to my situation. He had someone out to my house within 15 minutes. I'm sorry I don't remember the gentleman's name. He was very thorough and fixed the minor problems he found. When that didn't fix our problem he continued to test and look at all he could. After an hour he was able to see that there seemed to be a problem with wiring and connectors that were on my roof. It ended up being a PGE job and they fixed the problem that afternoon . I am so grateful that Voltz was able to identify the problem so I knew what to tell PGE. We no longer have flickering and diming lights. Thank you,Matt and Voltz for being so awesome! You saved my sanity!!

In the last five years or so, I have used Voltz Electric do work for me probably around 3 or 4 times --- for a few smaller jobs (install ceiling fan, install outlets, relocate a chandelier, etc.) and one large job (replacing old knob-and-tube wiring and check all my wiring and outlets). In ALL cases, they went above and beyond the call of duty.

Today was another such day. Late last night a smoke/CO alarm started chirping two times every 30 seconds, signifying it was at the end of its life. Normally that would be an easy fix for me --- HOWEVER, this one was located about 20 feet high at the top of a vaulted ceiling over the bottom of my stairway to the bedroom. Too high for me to access (and too scary). At first I thought of asking my neighbor to help me, but I was worried for his safety, as well, as he is in his eighties now.

So I called Voltz, not knowing if they did such small jobs. Even if it cost a bit, I was willing to pay to have them do whatever was needed, for me and my neighbor's safety; I figured they must have lots of experience with heights.

Matt moved workers around today so he could accommodate me, as he knew the chirping was driving me and my dog crazy (and I didn't sleep at all last night). Three really nice guys --- Ruben, Eric, and Andrew (I hope I got their names right) --- came around 1:30 p.m., managed to reach and remove the offending alarm without a ladder by what I considered a kind of scary maneuver (the tallest guy standing on my upstairs ledge and reaching around the corner to reach the alarm, with one guy holding onto him). YIKES!!! They saw I had another hard-wired alarm at the top of the stairs and said that that one would be sufficient, so I told them to just remove that other one and not replace it.

Anyway, as they went out to talk to Matt on the phone, and I went to get a check to pay them, they called in to me to tell me that it's all good --- they weren't going to charge me anything for the call. WOW. I was blessed two ways --- got that annoying alarm to stop chirping (forever) AND wasn't even charged for their work! I certainly did not expect that!!!! Such nice, honest, and fair people there at Voltz!!! They made my day. Also...now I can have a good night's sleep tonight.

After contacting several electric contractors, I chose Voltz Electric to install recessed lights throughout our home, based on their professionalism, ease of communication, and high ratings across all online review sites. The lights were installed last week, and we couldn't be happier with the results! Not only did the crew use only high quality products, but they also did a great job of covering the floors, household items, etc., and consistently wearing masks and maintaining a safe distance while on-site. Based on our experience last week, Voltz will be our go-to electric contractor from this point forward.

Moved into a 1930's home recently and one of the previous owners wired the detached garage for power. Not a terrible job doing so, but not great. The power line running from the house to garage was coming loose from it's support cable and weather sheathing was coming apart exposing the cable. Not surprisingly this was not up to code. Met with Matt and decided on the correct and efficient path in cleaning up this work. Very happy with the end result. Much cleaner and safer wiring now running to the external garage and now up to code. Crew was prompt, friendly and tidy with their work. Would highly recommend Voltz Electric and will be in touch for any future electrical needs. Thanks guys!

Voltz Electric provided a good experience from start to finish. Matt was very prompt and responsive when communicating availability. Mike and Christian showed up at my house at the expected time and worked quickly to install a bunch of switches for me.

I'm happy with the communication, happy with the work, and happy to support a local business. Many thanks to the Voltz Electric folks; I will give you call when the next project arises.

Adam T.

When I first inquired about services, they were quick to respond and gave me a fair quote which drove me to choose them over other companies.

I needed 4 recessed lights in my dining room and pulling out the ceiling fan. Also, the switch was on a wall that had shiplap and we wanted to avoid damaging that wall so they had their work cut out for them.

After scheduling a date and time I became unavailable and we had to postpone, which they were really patient about. Fast forward 4 weeks and when I contacted them to reschedule, they kept the same quote price and were ready to go.

They showed up and were clean and thoughtful to my wife, making sure we got exactly what we wanted. The second guy was still in training, but the experienced tech showing him the ropes was patient and communicated clearly.

I am very pleased with the results. The room is brighter and feels bigger without that cumbersome ceiling fan. (Which they also took off my hands).

You can't go wrong with Voltz Electric and I will be recommending them to all my friends.

Alan T.

2/17/2021

Great response time, communication from Matt at HQ. Mike and Christian showed up on time, did everything we asked and even made suggestions to improve lighting outside that did not require a big expense. Found these guys on Yelp and glad I did. Highly recommend.

John J.

9/13/2019

Professional, prompt, polite and precise. This was a thoroughly excellent experience, from first contact with Matt at Voltz to the half day's work, done immaculately and to perfection. It started excellently, with a prompt response to a request for quotation. Matt understand precisely what was needed and quoted it competitively. I had no concerns whatsoever in asking for his help and I was not in any way disappointed.

Our job was not huge but needed careful execution, which they provided: replacing four overhead flourescent tubes in a kitchen ceiling fixture with flush-ceiling-mounted LEDs. They were careful and clean, laying down a plastic sheet to make sure no dirt fell. And--get this!--they added a small task, gratis: the substitution of three rocker switches in a bank in the bathroom where one of the three switches had failed.

I would recommend Voltz to any homeowner. We are thoroughly satisfied. If more than five stars were available, I would award them. Bravo!

Matthew B.

7/22/2020

The scheduling didn't work out for our job, but had a great experience getting a job quote from them. Quick and professional communication, reasonable quote for the job, and the owner even took the time to explain some other potential problems we may have down the road based on the model of our breaker panel.

Peter Z.

11/15/2019

Sent a request out to multiple electricians and out of the four electricians Matt was the only one that made the date work and even offered to come out earlier. Communications leading up to the appointment was great. I even had to cancel my first appointment and Matt was understanding and promptly helped me reschedule.

Ruben was the electrician who came out and fixed our outlets. Great service and really friendly guy. Minimum $250 service fee but considering the service was great - happy to pay that anytime. Definitely using them on any projects going forward!

I called Matt because my attic exhaust fan wasn't working. He advised me on what parts to order, and once they arrived, we set up an early morning appointment. His guys came and did the job in 1 hour, and the new motor seemed to be working well.

Over the next few days, though, when it got really hot out, I noticed it was making a new high-pitched sound. His guys came back out and found and fixed the problem - at no charge. We talked about the cause and I was very impressed with their knowledge, analysis, and solution. They fixed it and it's been working great for a few weeks now.

I was very happy with Voltz and would definitely call them again for future work.

I already had two electrician look at the problem before I reached out to Voltz, as previous electricians were not able to troubleshoot the problem. I was scared that it is gonna cost $$$$ to fix and potentially need to rewire the house.

Thanks to highly experienced team (Mike and one more team member, sorry did not catch the name) from Voltz, who took 45 minute to debug and fix the issue.

I will highly recommend them to anyone dealing with electric rework or repair. They might seem to have a higher quote than others but its worth every penny.

Pricing was well explained to me before visit and it was expected. I will definitely reach out to them again in future and recommend to people I know.

Voltz showed up on time, did exactly as I asked, efficiently and to code. I couldn't ask for a better experience.

If you need residential electrical service, this team should be your top choice. They are high quality, detail oriented, on time and come in at or lower than the quote.
They are hands down the best electricians I have worked with.
You absolutely cannot go wrong with Voltz Electric.
I had the following work done;
- Added a new ceiling fixture
- Added an external power run
- Added an external GFCI receptacle
- Changed out a couple of older switches to smart switches, bringing the wiring up to code
All work done was completed quickly and efficiently, exceeding my expectations.

Voltz installed overhead lighting in our upstairs bedrooms. They were prompt, professional, reasonable and we are very pleased we hired them.

Our single family home is new remodeled without an existing doorbell. We planed install a SimpliSafe doorbell. I shopped around on yelp and found Voltz Electric having a fair amount of good reviews. The owner gave us a call to explain the process and pricing. After thinking through, we decided to hire them to help us this project at the next day of the call. The electricians arrived a little bit early. They all wore masks during this pandemic. They explained to us their plan and started working. They were very professional and the work was finished about 1.5 hours. Our doorbell has started running!! Horray! They also sent us the invoice to my emails immediately (good for the environment). Overall, the project went smoothly from contact, scheduling, and installation. We are very happy at choosing Voltz Electric and will not hesitate to hire them again!

I went thru interviewing many electricians in the Bay Area and, out of 5, Matt was the most helpful. He provided the most information and was prompt with all my calls/emails. His service isn't the absolute cheapest. If you're looking for more a affordable route, there are a few guys out there but their communication and English isn't the best.

I'd recommend Matt and his team! I'm hoping to get my garage completely wired by his team. Good guys!

Love how easy it was to set up an appointment (thanks Matt!), have a friendly, reliable crew come in (thanks Rueben and Eric!), get a chandelier installed in the allotted time, and get on with my day with little to no clean up. These guys know their stuff! Also grateful to support a business that makes sure the workers are taken care of. It's a struggle in the Bay for trades, more than happy to pay for good service. Thank you Voltz!

We woke up to an electrical problem. We called Voltz Electric around 10:00 am. Matt answered the phone, he tried to help us troubleshoot over the phone. He's a great guy. Long story short, he was able to get his two electricians out in the same day. Ante and Christian were prompt, knowledgeable, and professional. Repaired our problem right away and off they went. This company is a winner. Thanks guys for the help!

wOw!!!!! Boy am I impressed with Matt and his protegé Cristian. From the beginning Matt on the phone was very professional, polite and came off as very knowledgable (instantly gave me vibes as the REAL DEAL). We eventually set a date and met for a walkthrough of what I wanted and he assessed the scope of work at hand and even gave me some options and pointers from his perspective which I really appreciated. Ultimately I felt he was on the same page as me and was truly looking out for my best Interest to help maximize what I was trying to accomplish. Amongst everything he did in terms of work not only was did he and Cristian exceed my expectations but it was done with such a level of professionalism that I have not seen much of in his trade. Cristian was equally fantastic and super helpful with questions I had and eager to learn from Matt. In lthe end my mind was blown with the quality of work, the professionalism and the fair price he charged. Matt and Cristian pulled power from my home and through underground trenching and using a conduit was able to provide safe power to my backyard gazebo and installed a chandelier which he assembled also and I added the Phillips hue multi color lightbulbs and now I am a super HAPPY CAMPER with my fabulous and cool backyard/gazebo oasis. Thank you Matt and Cristian!!!

Voltz Electric did a great job adding 4 dedicated circuits for our house in September 2020 and their price was very reasonable! 5 guys came and did a great job! I am very happy with the work. I highly recommend them!

What I thought was a medium size job, quickly turned into something bigger. Not a problem for Voltz Electric. I was very impressed with his professionalism in all aspect of the job. Punctual and was very methodical in explaining what was involved in the repair job, as it evolved. Voltz Electris is definitely on my callback list. Important note, I found them quite reasonable considering what was involVed.

So fast, friendly, thorough and clean! Excellent communications before the job, too, with scheduling and price estimates.

Assessed the problem right away and Mike & his partner fixed a problem with a utility-room ceiling light that no one else has been able to resolve (even other electricians and handymen).

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Ted C.

3/23/2018

Matt (owner) was quick to respond to all my initial questions, helped guide me to a final solution which was very close to my original request. He accommodated my preference of communication (texting)...it's amazing how many other electricians just respond by asking to call them back even with the most basic of questions. Team of 2 showed up a few mins before scheduled time, answered all my questions and began working. They did the most minimal amount of cutting, routed wires thoughtfully, routed conduit clean, patched up the cutouts, and vacuumed after themselves. Bangup job guys. Definitely recommend.

Christian P.

06/06/2018 12:00:00 SA

The way more house services should be. incredibly prompt replies to calls, and text message with Matt the owner to schedule, discuss work. Prompt appointments available usually in a week or so (other folks quoting months down the road). followup day before to confirm your appt time.

Day of your work (they've been out twice now for different projects), team of 2 arrive ontime ready to go. quality of work/knowledge is very good and guys do a good job cleaning up post project (again something other contractors do not do such a great job at). There price might be slightly higher than other folks, but the quality, communication, ease/speed to schedule, AND the fact that Voltz takes care of its team well, more than make up for it. will continue to call them as we move through projects in the house, and recommend fully.

Called Voltz to have an outlet installed above our oven (new oven). I left a message on their machine and received a call back the next day. I spoke with, I assume, the secretary. She took some basic info and told me someone would call. They did, and gave me a quote...$500 (got several quotes, all about the same). An hour or two later, they called and asked if I had time to have them compete the job that day. Hell yes!

They showed up shortly and got right to work. Friendly hardworking guys quickly installed my outlet, and placed it in an area compatible with my new oven. Everything was left clean and tidy.

Will most definitely use this company again, they got me out of a big bind. Thanks guys!

Extremely professional and highly skilled electricians. There was a hiccup in the beginning due to a miscommunication but the crew handled the situation with professionalism and they were a pleasure to deal with. The lights look great and I couldn't be happier with the work they provided. If you're looking for excellent work with competitive pricing, I would highly recommend Voltz Electric. They made sure we were happy with their work every step of the way which was comforting.

Thanks again!

I have had only good experiences with Voltz. Our 1950s Eichler-style house has many issues and they have always told it like it is, and have suggested good projects at fair prices.

Most recently it was a full panel upgrade, they were able to coordinate with the City of Cupertino and with PG&E to deliver the project on time.

My kids saw the power go off when they went to school, and came back to find it back on again. Your project may need more time, but I'm confident that Voltz will make sure your disruption is as minimal as possible.

thanks Matt, Mike, Francisco, and Everyone at Voltz!

What a fantastic find. Matt and the rest of the crew are incredibly professional, diligent and efficient. We had them come out to install a charging circuit in the garage and a couple of light fixtures I'd been meaning to get around to (i.e. avoiding doing!). We arranged an appointment to assess the garage, panel, etc. and Matt was ontime and quickly walked us through his recommendations.

When the install date came around (about 10 days later due to my schedule), the team quickly installed the charging circuit without a problem. Sadly, one of the mirrors in the bathroom broke when installing the sconce, but they didn't miss a beat. Before they let me know they'd contacted the office, gotten approval for a fix and just needed the name of the original installer (the awesome C&Z Glass in Campbell). 48 hours later the mirror had been replaced and the fixtures installed.

Voltz Electric is an outstanding company to work with who understand that problems happen and don't shirk from following through and fixing them.

Bill H.

06/08/2017 12:00:00 SA

Arrived on time, did the work, left it cleaner than when they started.

Quality work and quality parts. They even added a few extras that will help me out later - that I didn't even hint or suggest. Can't ask for more.

11/09/2020 12:00:00 SA

These guys are the real deal. They are consistently busy and you may have to wait a few weeks for a reason - they are experts in their field and are total professionals. They will not BS you, and will perform all electrical work neatly, professionally, and up to code. A few years ago we had them install canned lights in our living room and replace old lights in our kitchen with newer LED's. We just had them out to replace a wire leading to our AC that had been incorrectly patched into an old aluminum wire. The whole crew is polite, professional, and willing to answer any questions the customer has. Highly recommend them for any electrical work.

Mike & Christian did amazing work out at our new house this week. We had a long list of items we needed to get through that were called out on our property inspection report & the guys hit them all in a couple of days. They were super pleasant to deal with, and the work was very tastily done. These guys know their stuff, and provide really good value for money. Matt, the owner, is a very nice guy & was very responsive when scheduling them to come out, quote, etc. We will be using them for all our future electrical needs.

Brian A.

6/27/2016

These folks are great. I got some quotes on rewiring a lot of my old house. Their quote was on par with the others, but a little higher (nothing crazy). I can see why. From end to end they were very communicative and clear. There were no surprises. They showed up on time and finished by the time that they had promised. No coming and going over a few weeks. I had 2-3 electricians at my house all day for a few days until the project was complete. It was great.
They also did good work. They moved stuff if it needed moving and laid down tarps to reduce the mess. They even vacuumed!
I would definitely recommend this fine company.

My parent's porch light hadn't worked for months and I got a referral to Voltz. Matt was helpful in explaining the process and scheduling service. Ruben was quick to diagnose and fix the faulty switch. Within minutes of payment I received a text and email receipt.

Matt replied to my call very quickly and was able to come by the same afternoon to install a new ceiling fan for me. Great service and very easy to work with!

Kevin T.

7/29/2019

We had a bit of an emergency situation which had me calling around and leaving voicemails like crazy. Matt returned my call within 10 minutes, but we had already setup an appointment with a competitor by then.

Initially, the competitor's communication was sporadic... so I wasn't entirely confident he would show up as expected. Knowing the situation, Matt called his team and determined they would be able to arrive roughly an hour after the scheduled appointment with his competitor, ready to step in should the appointment fall through.

If this is the kind of hustle and urgency they apply fully knowing they're Plan B, it speaks volumes towards their integrity and work ethic.

Thank you Matt.

Had a long standing issue with my bedroom recess lights. I usually am a DYIer and had tried everything to fix it.

Voltz fixed the issue in 5 minutes. I actually felt like a dumbass, it was so simple. They were extremely professional and explained everything in great detail. They communicated with me when the driver was a little behind from a previous job. The pricing was also reasonable.

Evans did a great job!

Will definitely use them again if I come across any issues. My lights are now working like a charm!

Thanks Voltz!!!!

Great service easy to work with!
1. They did what they said they would when they said they would do it
2. They managed PG&E effectively
3. They overbilled $100 and called me immediately to apologize and return the funds!

Overall great experience - would use them again!

Don W.

04/11/2019 12:00:00 SA

So I called these guys with kind of a silly issue last night, and got a call back early this morning after i had fixed the problem. They had already figured out the issue before calling me and confirmed I had fixed it but I also knew he was going to try and work it out with me over the phone to avoid a visit. Really appreciate the attention and sincerity!

Voltz Electric provided the best service and timeliness that I've received from a vendor in my 15 years in PVB. I had a complicated electrical situation which several other electricians wouldn't handle. (Never, ever use Sparky Jax!) Tim, the owner, is dependable, answers the phone or calls back quickly, and most importantly, he's always on time!

Kerry K.

2/17/2016

Mike and Ante did a great job on installation of two electrical projects I had an immediate need for. Arrived on time, were very professional, and did a clean job. I would definitely use these guys again. Mike also assessed and gave me an estimate on some other projects I have in mind for the future.

Marina at the desk was pleasant to talk to and followed up to make sure the scheduled appointment was intact both in email and via phone.

Overall a very good company to get your electrician jobs done.

12/1/16
Again another great job by Voltz. One of my outlets got overloaded and fried. Ante came over to replace the box and outlet to get me back up and running again. You can learn a whole lot by watching them do their craft. You only get this kind of personal, friendly, and professional service in smaller cities where everyone knows everyone. Highly recommended.

Derek B.

07/11/2019 12:00:00 SA

We just had Voltz out to install seven interior light fixtures and two outdoor fixtures, plus two dedicated circuits. The team was professional and courteous, and they completed the job in a timely manner, even though they ran into a few difficulties due to some issues with our house. This is the second time we've had Voltz to our home for electrical work, and we plan to have them again when the need arises. A great company with solid employees. Highly recommended.

Kirk E.

4/16/2019

Mike really knows his stuff! He and his colleague were friendly, responsive and professional. Voltz electricians work large and small. For our small project, they installed some dimmer switches and plugs very quickly and skillfully. They also did a safety check on some covered outlets to make sure they were correctly and safely capped and tested. We highly recommend!!!

Deborah W.

6/28/2019

Voltz is EXCEPTIONAL in every way -- from start to finish, I had such a fantastic experience with them that I would give them even more stars if I could. I had a list of multiple electrical needs -- ranging from a malfunctioning motion detector light to a broken GFCI outlet to troubleshooting my very squirrelly landscape lighting. I decided to call Voltz based on all the enthusiastic reviews. Matt (the owner) returned my initial phone call in about 10 minutes -- amazing! -- and he was really pleasant and professional. He clearly explained their pricing structure and how they would approach the various problems. Follow-up continued to be great when I set up a second appointment -- with confirmation calls each time.

Reuben, the electrician, was fantastic -- very knowledgeable and professional, and super-nice and friendly. He diagnosed and solved all the problems -- and also explained everything clearly and gave me helpful advice.

I'm delighted with my experience -- and highly recommend Voltz!!!

This review is just for the outrageous price quoted over the phone! Nothing even close to what other companies charge. Prices are not competitive.

We used Voltz Electric to rewire our garage, add can lights and additional wall outlets.
Matt (estimator) was on time, knowledgeable and professional and worked hard to get us into their schedule as soon as possible. The crew showed up and got it all done in one day.
Top notch service. We will use them again for more work in the house.

Brittany S.

11/23/2018

We had Voltz rewire our entire house to take our knob and tube out of service. These guys are true professionals. They were on time, courteous, clean, thorough, efficient and followed up immediately on all of my questions. Most importantly - they clearly knew what they were doing. They are not the cheapest, but if you are like us and your top priority is to make sure your electrical work is done correctly without issues we can't recommend them more.

James L.

8/28/2015

Mike and his colleague...forgot his name (sorry!) : / stopped by this morning to install 3 dimmers and 2 recessed ceiling lights in a 20 ft foyer. Voltz did what no other company wanted to do because of the height. They were quick and respectful. Mike even gave me some pointers on how to install dimmers. There was a little mix-up over the job cost, but they were very professional about it and gave me the originally quoted rate.

Excellent customer service and quality of work! Thanks guys!

Michael D.

12/10/2015 12:00:00 SA

James and Matt at Voltz are great to work with. I have had them help me out on numerous electrical projects that I have been working on. They are always prompt and courteous and stand behind their work. Looking to upgrade my panel in the next few months and they are the only company I will call.

Outstanding. Voltz installed a third hallway light in an addition that was closed off from the original house. The job was a bit more complicated than anticipated and Voltz got it done. The crew took a lot of care in putting down plastic and wearing shoe covers as well. Really great work, I look forward to working with again.

Richard D.

02/03/2018 12:00:00 SA

Matt's team did a great job on our project. We had a project to remove existing ceiling lights to replace them with new recessed lights that I chose.

Overall the job went as Matt had committed, with the job taking most of the day. The team worked while we were at the house, and they seemed to communicate well amongst each other. The install was fairly clean except for one major issue -- they drilled into my hallway. This changed the scope of my repaint and patch work from just 3 ceilings (low paint requirements) to patching and painting our hallway. They apologized, and at that point, there's not much they can really do. No point in getting more upset at them.

The other issue that arose during the job was that they got two of the switch locations mixed up despite me putting the switches out at 8AM. One switch is a master and the other is a slave. They swapped the location which means the dimmer is in the wrong location.

Instead of righting the issue, the foreman gave me a laundry list of why it's hard to do. When they called back to Matt, the response was to come back another day. Not a great response considering in Silicon Valley, most of us work and taking time off is a premium.

Overall I was generally happy with the electrical work. However, the team's care and attention clearly dropped as they were hitting the home stretch. I will need to be bringing them back for the switch swap.

Lesson learned -- Despite how much their foreman says they understand the job, spell it out clearly when you care about details. Make sure they also understand the importance of not screwing up things like drilling into rooms that should not be touched. For us our hallway doesn't have any heavy furniture, wall hangings, or wall art that would obstruct a repaint. I can see this being a much bigger issue in a home where that is an issue.

Had Voltz come out for an estimate on interior patio lighting. I didn't really have a plan other than I knew we wanted lighting :). Matt gave suggestion and let me know what kind of lights to purchase. His crew arrived on time and did an awesome job. They genuinely seemed like they enjoyed working together and worked diligently the entire time they were here. Matt also gave an estimate on switching out our interior lights for LED so that will be our next project with Voltz. Only reason for 4 star vs. 5 star was cost... 4 1/2 stars would be more appropriate.

We have a 130 year-old Victorian which we are restoring. During the removal & replacement of our roof, a very professional & capable young electrician came out from Voltz Electric. He ran a new electric line through our porch roof to install new light fixtures that never existed previously in our porch ceiling. The nature of the work was certainly not a standard job but he handled it very well and without complaint (which I sometimes get with an old house). On another project, the same guy ran a new electric line and installed a new exterior outlet.

I plan to call Voltz Electric again in the near future for more electrical upgrades and will be asking for the same guy.

Andrew C.

07/01/2018 12:00:00 SA

I was referred from another busy electrician. Voltz was easy to schedule with prompt and clear communication and after a quick discussion was able to quote my work over the phone, just a two outlet job. Got a reminder call. Day of the work, guys showed up on time, worked quick and clean and got everything done on schedule and at quote. Thanks for a great experience.

We have an old home, and by old, I mean over 100 years old! I did a lot of research on electricians and we ended up going with Voltz electric to update our old wiring. Firstly, Matt (the owner) was clearly knowledgeable on older homes. Further, he came by to give us an estimate and he was thorough and efficient in his analysis. But even better, he was honest. He didn't dramatize or sugarcoat anything, which we really appreciated. We decided to go forward and have them update our wiring. For a day and a half, Mike, Francisco, Andrew and Chris were here to do the work. They showed up on time, explained the plan, checked in with us about any changes prior to them making decisions, and kept everything clean. They finished on time, and answered all kinds of questions from us and cleaned up well. And the quote was exactly what we ended up paying. Yay for no surprises! We will certainly be going back to Voltz Electric for our future electric needs. I'd recommend them to everyone! They are great!

Jianxin L.

Matt (owner) and Mike (manager) and their team are very professional, experienced and customer caring and friendly, and I appreciate their work on upgrading my panel from 100A to 200A and adding 240V circuits for a new electric oven and other circuits. They helped handling of the city permit and everything works very smoothly. The price they offer is very reasonable. Compared to vendors in the same area, I feel I am lucky to have them help me. Thanks so much to Volts Electric.

If there were 10 stars Matt and his team would be well deserving of them! There was a storm in our area Sunday night which took out a power lines and blew our panel and weather pole out. PG&E told us to get an electrician out to fix all the issues. We reached out to the office the next morning (Monday), the woman on the phone was extremely helpful, and withing 1 hour they were at our home assessing the damage. Unfortunately the work was extensive but Voltz jumped right into action. Not only did we have to replace the entire panel but per City code we had to get a permit and inspection before PG&E would even entertain the idea of turning our power back on. Anyways...the Voltz team worked Monday and Tuesday to get all the work completed, got us a permit, and a SAME DAY INSPECTION. By today (Wednesday at 3 o'clock) everything has been completed inspection passed and we are waiting on restore from PG&E.

I cannot even begin to say how thankful we are for Votlz services and they truly made our emergency theirs. The staff and crew was on time, respectful, and the owner Matt went above and beyond! Pricing was completely reasonable considering the last minute request and how they made a disastrous situation less stressful.

Thank you Voltz! We will definitely been reaching out to you for all our electrical needs going forward!

Andrew S.

03/01/2018 12:00:00 SA

Mike and Francisco quickly root caused a short in an outlet that killed power to part of the house. They also installed a couple ceiling lights. Job completed as described over the phone with Matt the previous day.

Very courteous and helpful. Highly recommend!

Central heating went out a few weeks ago along with the lights and appliances which plugged into the adjacent walls. The first electrician I called who had glowing reviews on Yelp couldn't fix the problem. He also didn't charge me, which was appreciated.

Called Voltz (Owner is Matt) via a recommendation from another highly recommended but busy electrician who couldn't take my job right away. Voltz guys (two of them whom I don't recall their names) came before our scheduled time because I had asked the company to come if any slot opened up before our scheduled time.

They did a complete diagnosis and fixed the problem in about one hour. The charges were as estimated before they came and the estimate was very reasonable. Very much appreciated.

A final note that in the process of finding Voltz, I called a few other electricians who gave me very differing scope of work and estimates. One even said that I had to re-do the entire electric grid to the house and it would cost tens of thousands!

Be careful out there...
And thank you Voltz!

Farinaz T.

2/19/2015

So in the time after I posted my original review the owner Matt and the guy who came out to do my estimate both called and apologized and tried to make the situation right and better for me as they were very upset with my dissatisfaction.

This to me says a lot about the integrity of the owner and shows how much he actually cares about his work. I gave an extra two stars for reaching out, spending the time and trying to correct the situation.

I still leave one star off cause we are still not going to hire Voltz as for me first impressions are the ones that matter the most, but I do appreciate the care factor as expressed by the owner.

Jeff B.

I tried many electricians and many were either not responsive or booked out many weeks. When I called Matt, he called me back right away and was available same day. Thank you for your great responsiveness and communication!

I had a few calls last week with the Voltz administrative person (Keisha I think) about what electrical work I wanted, getting an estimate and to finalize scheduling. She was always pleasant to deal with and prompt about returning calls.

Based on the pricing, it made sense for me to purchase some of the components in advance, but Voltz would have been happy to supply the components if I didn't feel comfortable doing that.

Reuben and his assistant came out today to troubleshoot an external outlet and replace two internal light switches with modern dimmers.

They were running a short amount of time behind schedule, but called to tell me about it during their arrival window, so it was no big deal and I was happy with their communication.

Upon arrival we talked briefly about what I wanted accomplished and showed where everything was. Rueben and his assistant were quick and professional, and clearly knew what they were doing. They divided up the work and made sure everything was properly tested. They were happy to answer the miscellaneous questions I had and made sure everything was cleaned up and back in place before leaving. The final bill was a bit under the estimate, and there was never any attempt at up-selling.

I would definitely recommend Voltz.

Arrived as planned and quickly went to work. They did an excellent job trouble shooting the problem, and making the necessary repairs.

Voltz came highly recommended by friends of ours so we decided to give them a try. We asked for their help with three issues:
(1) I had a bathroom light that stopped working. Last time this happened it was the G24q 18W CFL bulbs being broken, and replacing them with new bulbs worked, so this time because of being green I purchased LED bulbs, and they would flicker a bit and stop working.
(2) We had a set of LED lights that would flicker badly when dimmed and occasionally still flicker when the dimmer was turned up all the way.
(3) We had some general flickering problems with all lights in the house, especially when major appliances would turn on.

Voltz had a very good attitude and service in trying to address these issues:

For (1), initially they pointed out that the LED bulbs I had purchased were 9W instead of 19W. When I pointed out that the listing said that the 9W LED bulb claimed to be a 18W CFL equivalent, they said that perhaps the ballast on the fixture wasn't rated for LED and they read out a model number for me to call the manufacturer. One phone call to the manufacturer later confirmed that the manufacturer didn't have an LED retrofit, and so they couldn't guarantee that an LED would work. So that was all Voltz could do and so they left the task unfinished, but now I knew to return the LEDs and order replacement CFLs.

For (2), Voltz said that the reason was the dimmer switch not being able to handle LEDs. They replaced the old switch with an electronic low-voltage dimmer switch they had, which cost me an extra $100. After replacing the switch, the flickering wasn't as bad, but still noticable.

For (3), they asked if we had had any major changes that caused it. We had a new HVAC installed over the winter, and the AC unit started running heavily because of summer heat around the same time the dimming happened. So Voltz said that was probably the cause, and that there wasn't anything they could do about it.

They replaced a few bulbs (since they had their high ladder), and we were reasonably satisfied at the time, even though none of our problems had been fully fixed.

A week later, the bulbs arrived. Replacing them, surprisingly, only worked for a day -- then they stopped working again. Since Voltz had been unwilling to open up the light fixture last time, I figured it couldn't hurt to try another electrician.

The other electrician did some things differently:

(1) The replacement CFL bulb worked again after they shut off all power (see (3) below) and turned it on again. They suspected a failing ballast, just like Voltz. The difference here is that the other electrician had some experience with these fans and suggested that they'd be willing to help install a replacement if it became necessary. They also tested out my old CFL bulbs and confirmed that the bulbs weren't the problem.

(2) They noticed two things that Voltz didn't -- one thing is that the LED bulbs we had installed weren't dimmable. The second thing is even with dimmable LED bulbs, it wouldn't work -- Voltz installed a electronic low-voltage dimmer, when what we needed was actually a LED-specific dimmer. The other electrician then replaced the dimmer that Voltz had installed.

(3) They approached this problem by first suspecting that there was a possibility we had a loose circuit breaker. They inspected this by shutting down our power and inspecting the tightness of all the circuit breakers, at both main power and two sub-panels, something that Voltz didn't suggest. While they didn't find anything, they did make one recommendation that Voltz also didn't suggest -- that I call the power company (PG&E) to have them inspect the power on the outside of the house to see if there were any potential issues there.

So I send PG&E a message, and next day they came over to inspect the outside of the house. This is where the surprise happened. Within minutes, PG&E discovered that the neutral power cord to our house was severed, possibly because of tree growth or squirrels in our backyard. This is called a broken neutral, and if you look on line you can see that it's very risky. So risky that PG&E came out and fixed it that very night at 11pm, and strongly suggested many times that we turn off the power until they could come out and fix it.

Once PG&E had finished, all three of the problems went away. The bathroom light is working again (with the old bulbs, even!), the non-dimmable LED lights don't flicker when the dimmer is at maximum strength, and there's no more flickering when major appliances turn on.

My takeaway among all this is that Voltz may have great customer service and perhaps is pretty good at easy-to-fix things, but they aren't as thorough or inquisitive, and in our case they failed to even suspect what ended up being a rather severe problem. The other electrician was more humble and less self-confident... and that may have saved our lives.

(edit: After I posted, Voltz offered refund. Great C.S.!)

Voltz has touched almost every wire in my 70+ year old Willow Glen home. They've been great!

Voltz Electric has been absolutely fantastic! We are in the middle of a remodel (and have been living in our home--through the remodel--for six months). Matt and his team have been extremely thorough, respectful, communicative and honest throughout the entire project. Evan is so detailed and has been very patient as we found things along that way that needed to be fixed. He has really gone the extra mile, and has been very respectful (to our daughter, dog, husband and me)!.

Matt runs a very tight ship and has always responded to my inquiries within minutes. Early on in the project, he even found a major problem with our remodeling plans when he was replacing our knob and tube wiring in our home. I'm not sure how everyone else missed it, but Matt found it and called me immediately so that we could determine the best way to move forward. That was HUGE. He also took the time to walk me through the pros and cons of various electrical decisions early on-- he gave me his opinions on where it made sense to invest more money for the long run, and areas where he thought we didn't really need to spend as much.

I can't say enough good things about Voltz. They are finishing up our project in the weeks to come, and I'm confident that Matt and his team will cross every t and dot every i before they leave our home. So far they have delivered on every promise.

Voltz will be my go-to electrician moving forward whenever I need anything!

This is the most professional and transparent company I have had work on my house! So, so happy to have found them on Yelp. I called them on a Friday afternoon to discuss security lightings and was given information based on experience vs someone trying to upsell me (which unfortunately happens a lot). I went with their recommendation of carriage lights to my garage. I was able to be scheduled the following Monday morning at 8am! Incredible! I actually texted Saturday asking to add on a security light install to Monday's appointment and that was no problem. Monday morning came and the Voltz team arrived at 7:54am! I love early appointments!! There was a team of three (I wish I remembered the names - ugh mom brain haha) and they were so professional and efficient! I even asked to have a switch replaced on a long broken bathroom light and he did that as well on the spot! Very very happy with the service! An added plus, he wore shoe covers into the house. How respectful! I'm so happy after messaging SO MANY electricians that I have found a company I'll be happy to call back for additional needs.

DON'T CALL ANYONE ELSE. This company is all you need.
It is so difficult to find quality services. I feel like I know enough of maintaining a home and being handy around the house to now the difference between the good and bad people who provide services. I do a lot of things by myself by learning them but I also know when I need help and when I can't do something or maybe shouldn't. When you call someone out to your home from either yelp or from a referral, you get a sense if the person is just winging it with their knowledge or if they really know what they are talking about especially if you kinda know what they should be saying. THESE GUYS ARE THE REAL DEAL, ALL OF THEM. This company has long term employees which says something.
They worked efficiently.
They were respectful of my home
They actually know how to fix things right the first time.
They came out to my home right away.
They worked with my schedule.
Because they work efficiently their pricing is really fair. You don't feel like you are getting ripped off by down time.
They explain things and it makes total sense.
I don't just feel but I know they are honest.
As long as they are open for business they will be my go to company for all my homes electrical needs.
They installed a custom fan for us in our patio, they switched out a few outlets in the patio area, one had a on/off switch on it cause I have a wall fountain attached to it. They installed multiple WEMO switches in the house. They replaced our pantry light to a LED module and replaced the light switch as well from a dimmer to a on/off LED switch.

I had Voltz Electric come out to investigate/fix a couple electrical issues with our house. I called to discuss my needs and get an estimate. Discussion was professionally handled. Since my issues were more investigative in nature, it was made clear that a proper estimate was going to depend on what was found. I was told upfront about 'time and material' billing and minimum charges. We agreed to move forward and an appointment time that week was available. The 2 man team showed up on time, did the troubleshooting efficiently and fixed the issues to my complete satisfaction. Turns out the guy I spoke to initially was Matt, the owner of the business. He is a professional and honest businessman and I am happy to recommend him to anyone needing an electrician's expertise.

Excellent service, Matt was easy to reach, he returned phone calls quickly. Matt's gave me an estimate, scheduled his team to do the job the next day. Other electricians I called were hard to reach and didn't have a date they could schedule the work.
Matt's team was awesome, they were friendly, professional, and very skilled. They replaced dated ceiling lights with new recessed lights Halo that Matt recommended. We are very happy with the result and will be repeat customers with Voltz Electric.

Voltz Electric came on schedule, finished the job on time and did a thorough job upgrading a 55 year old house with numerous out of code installations. Created a much more useful patio lighting with LED lights. Fair price.

I had Voltz add a couple of lines to our kitchen and also do several other small projects.
They were friendly, timely, and seemed quite competent. They were able to give me a quote over the phone when I described the work I needed done. They came out about 1 1/2 weeks after I first called. They finished in one day. Everything works as it should, so I'm happy with the results and would definitely use them again.

Nick B.

5/17/2017

I didn't end up hiring an electrician for the job I inquired about, so I can't speak to the quality of Voltz's work.

I can say, however, that Matt (the person who contacted me) was really pleasant to work with over the phone and pretty competitive on price. I appreciated him taking the time to walk me through the process and advising me on how to do what I needed in the most cost effective manner possible.

Had I not installed my EV charger myself in a less desired but easier to install location, I would have had him come out to do the job.

I'd at a minimum give Voltz a call for my future electrical needs.

Mark A.

06/04/2016 12:00:00 SA

I spoke with Matt on the phone about what i wanted done which were to troubleshoot a non-functioning dryer outlet and installing 1 recessed light over our shower in the second bathroom. He was upfront about what to expect and even gave his best estimate over the phone. I agreed and setup an appointment.

On the day of, Evan, Matt's technician, came on time and immediately went to work. He worked quickly and cleaned up everything very well as if he was never there. The installation done in the bathroom was just as I asked and the dryer now works.

Overall, my experience was great without any complaints. I actually want them to come back in the future to replace our CB box. I would also recommend them to my friends and family.

Second review here for another great electrical service on my house. This time, they installed an outdoor outlet for me, and put in a security camera connected to a new indoor outlet. Once again, great price, incredibly polite and professional. It's genuinely such a pleasure to work a company like Voltz - you can't ask for better. Thanks again guys.

I called them for a troubleshooting job, the outlets in two of my rooms were not working.
Sales was prompt in responding. The guy got home in time, fixed the issue quickly (less than 1 hour which is their minimum charge).

We called several of the big boy companies - one said on the answering machine that they were not booking anything for 3 weeks; one never answered; the other one has yet to return our call. So we remembered about Home Depot referrals. We called 2 of the electricians on their site and Dace returned our call first. And he said he could be at the house at 2 PM - which he was (maybe a few minutes early!). He took care of the job - showed and explained to my husband what the issue was - took time to answer questions. Instead of trying to recruit more work for himself he even talked himself out of some work! If we need an electrician we will definitely be calling this local company again - and I recommend that you do also!

Great quick service! Listened to what we wanted them to check and immediately switched out the breaker. A previous company charged us and fixed nothing! Definitely will use them again.

I had hired Voltz Electric before to install my 240V EV2 car charger, and decided to use them again to install some canned LED lighting throughout the house.

No regrets at all. Once again, I was really impressed with the work they did. Matt is great to deal with, honest and very accommodating. The team that worked on our lighting finished in 2 days, and did a superb job with the installation. They kept the site clean the whole time, were very professional throughout the installation, and provided some useful suggestions on what lights to get and the best way to position the lights we had. We have vaulted ceilings, one which touches up against the roof, which made the job very difficult, but they got the work done and left no drywall damage. The installation was completely clean.

These guys are great. I am really happy we found them and we plan to stick with them for future projects. I highly recommend them for any electrical work you need done.

Voltz lives up to their wonderful reputation! The first time I emailed them asking for a quote and they quickly responded with a detailed breakdown. We didn't use them that time since it matched the same quote of someone else but it was clear they were very responsive.

When our dryer and lights were acting funky my husband gave them a call. They were able to promptly come out and assess the problem. The owner himself also came out at one point to help.

I love their teacher etc. discount. Although I'm a teacher and didn't take advantage or it, I think it's a wonderful policy.

They are on our go-to list and would not hesitate to use them again.

Good old fashioned customer service is not as easy to come by these days and this company has definitely mastered it while not charging an arm and a leg. Thanks again Voltz!

I've used Voltz on 3 projects around our house now and am NEVER disappointed. Despite all their great YELP reviews, they never turn down business and are able to come out pretty soon after I call them. Professional, honest, courteous, and affordable. Mike has been our guy and definitely appreciate the great work he and his team always do for us!

Mallika S.

This review is long overdue. Voltz has the best electricians who did a fantastic job at our place. Right from Entryway chandelier to recessed lighting they did everything with 100% perfection.My search is finally over for good electricians and I would only be calling them for any electrical work however small.

Initially, I wrote a review about Voltz that only gave them a single star. The owner of the company called me the next day, apologized and wanted a chance to set things straight. I really appreciated that. You don't get the owner of a company calling you very often now days.

His employee had charged me $110 for troubleshooting that took less than 10 mins. The owner explained that in these cases, the voltz employee should have adjusted his fee, instead of charging me the $110. He apologized and explained that they train and train on being fair and honest with customers, but sometimes some of their employees bring bad habits from previous companies.

He refunded me back the $110 PLUS refunded me another $165 for the new electrical outlet that they installed. He explained that they really take being honest and fair, seriously. I was impressed.

So I had them install two fans and two fan boxes for me today. They arrived on time, 2 mins early in fact. They were courteous, wore shoe protectors in my home, they came up with a great idea for a dimmer switch and cleaned everything spotless. They were reasonably priced. In addition, the owner stopped by to check to make sure I was pleased with the work.

The experience with Voltz was so positive in the end. They are honest and they are one of those few companies who really values good customer service. I also loved the 5 year warranty on all labor.

I would use them again in a heartbeat and would recommend them to anyone.

My real name is not Dayana and no, you never called me back. In the meantime I found another contractor who did the work. But thanks for taking the time to reply. I appreciate that. BTW, it was the woman from your office with whom I had talked once, then she was supposed to do some more research and ca
ll me back. She never did.

I used Voltz before for a small emergency job. Matt came out in 15 minutes and did the work quickly, charging a minimal rate.
When we could finally afford to do more work on the wreck of a house we bought, we called Voltz again. Matt is always on time, reliable and very easy to communicate with and contact. He sent estimates by email and came out to revise an estimate when we realized we couldn't do all the work we wanted to at once. The work was done quickly, and the electricians walked me through everything at the end. They cleaned up their mess and did a very professional job. I will be using Voltz for all of my electrical needs, and would highly recommend them to anyone.

I had Voltz out to run some cable up from behind my stereo, through the ceiling, to my projector - they came the morning after I called, and were gone in a couple of hours. (The job involved crawling around in my cramped, sprinklered attic in order to fish cable - not fun)

They made a rather surgical cut in the drywall (much smaller than I would have made) and left me the name of someone they recommend to retexture the drywall (they warned me in advance that they only do a rough patch)

Would definitely use them again. Thanks dudes.

We had Voltz Electric install a couple of recessed LED lights in our living room this time. Matt came out to our place, gave us a run-down of the locations where he'd get his crew to install the lights, and provided us with an estimate the next day. The crew was on time and were very courteous.

We asked them to install a couple of more LED lights in a separate room, and they were willing to make changes on the spot. It took almost an entire day, but we're *REALLY* happy that we went with Voltz for installation. They changed our main light switches, replaced our dimmers (replaced it with a regular switch since they said the dimmer could burn out any time since it was hooked to ceiling fans), fixed one of our floor lamps, and gave us some advice on our garden lights.

Overall, we're very happy but one small little gripe... Matt gave us a quote on the work to be done, and we double-verified pricing over email - when the crew came, they charged us slightly more for installation of switches. In the end, though, we're very happy with what they did at our place, and we'll definitely be using Voltz Electric again for our electric needs!

04/07/2011 12:00:00 SA

Extremely pleased with the cost, timeliness and quality of the work. I echo others' reviews in that they are prompt, courteous, reasonably priced...

They installed 2 new light fixtures, replaced switches and put a bathroom fan onto a separate timer switch. Another company had estimated a much higher fee, saying it would be a 2-day job, and had a 3-yr. warranty. Voltz completed the work in 3 hours and their warranty is 5 years!

Matt was able to quickly schedule our project so if needed, I could return the light fixtures I bought online, within the 30-day return period. We discussed other future household projects we could use their help with in the future, and we will definitely call them.

We are very happy with their work.

Matt offered a fair price for my 4 hour job to install a Ring video doorbell, 2 Ring floodlight cams & 10 smart light switches. He was easy to communicate with during the scheduling process. Ruben & Eric were prompt, courteous & professional. Solid work. Thanks, Voltz!

I added one star to my previous four star review of Voltz Electric for the replacement of my hanging light. In my previous review, I wrote that Voltz did excellent work but were a bit expensive. After reading my review, the owner, Matt, called and offered to reimburse me in full. This was a pleasant surprise and restored my faith in good customer service. He explained that the price should have been adjusted since the job took less time than expected. I did not take him up on his offer of a full reimbursement since the Voltz workers did an excellent job. Instead, we agreed to a $50 rebate, putting the final price of the job at the low end of their initial estimate.

I would definitely call Voltz again for electrical work. Matt, the owner, demonstrated to me that he listens to his customers and wants to provide good service at a fair price.

Ryan E.

3/18/2010

Good set of guys here! I have had them work on my house for a few different issues, they have upgraded my panel, added new fixtures, cleaned up wiring, and installed some fans. Each time, they have given me great estimates and pricing, they have done their work on time or ahead, and they have great quality in what they do!

Just talk to Matt, he will help advise and guide you on what's needed, what can be done later, what probably does not need to be done, etc...

Will definitely have them back for future work!

I want to start by stating that James and the lady who answer the phones (I'm sorry but I forgot your name) are freakin amazing! I have used Voltz for two home projects so far and I could not be more pleased with their level of professionalism and customer service. When questions or needs come up, James took care of it. The lady on the phone is quick to return messages and confirms everything is ready to go when your appointment is scheduled by James.

Project #1 we had a new bathroom fan and outlet installed as a tester project to see if we would move forward and use Voltz with our larger project. The layout of the bathroom is tiny and funky, but they managed to get the fan in and relocate the outlet without any real issues. I never met the crew who worked on my home but my wife did. She said they were very polite, punctual, professional and CLEAN! I came home was very pleased with the results.

Project #2 was a full home circuit breaker panel upgrade. Long story short, I was having issues with scheduling PG&E to come out for inspections. I called James and he took care of it for me! He was always professional and always polite, even when I was using four letter words to describe how much i appreciated PG&E giving me the run around. Just like the first time, I was not home to meet the crew working on the house but the reaction from my wife and I are the same. Very happy with their team and their work.

I'm sure there are plenty of other great electrical companies and independent electricians in the Bay area but I see contract work is like tattoos YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!! There is always a cheaper guy out there to do the job but you risk that chance of poor work. I rather pay a little more for a real electrical company like Voltz to come out and do the job right.

I have plenty more projects coming up and I will be using Voltz again! Do yourself a favor and give them a call.

We called Voltz this morning about a short circuit behind the bathroom wall. They were able to fit us in on the same day because of the risk of sparking. They were a few hours late due to complications with the previous job, but Matt, the owner, called us to apologize and offered us a discount on the job, and said if the fix was really simple they'd do it for free because of the delay.

Jordan and Travis showed up soon after that, quickly found the problem in the electrical outlet and fixed it. In the process they'd discovered the wiring on our bathroom fixture was old and cruddy, so they tidied it up while they were at it. They were extremely amiable and efficient the whole time. The whole process took less than half an hour.

We'll definitely call Voltz again for our future electrical needs and recommend them to our friends!

Voltz replaced vanity lighting in both bathrooms and hall way. They do great work. I gave the electrician a list of other things that I needed done and requested a quote. This is why they get 4 stars instead of 5 stars because they never responded to the quote request, and the electrician did not have instructions originally correct from their office. So he thought he was to change 1 vanity light when the request was for 2 vanity lights and 2 hallway lights. So we had to do some back and forth to get the complete request finished. I think they are simply busy.

We had Voltz replace our electrical panel as well as knob and tube wiring. Our house is old and presented several challenges, but Matt and Voltz were extremely professional and responsive, resolving minor issues along the way.

Voltz installed recessed lighting in my kitchen and both bathrooms. They also put up sensor flood lights on the exterior of my home and decorative light fixtures on the sides of the garage door. Was a little nervous about having them do so much work because we had a bad experience with a previous contractor.

But I think we struck gold with these guys! We were totally blown away by their punctuality, professional work ethics and care of our home. They came in on time, did all that work in one day and cleaned up nicely upon leaving. Thank you Mike and his team of rockstars!! And especially Karen in the office who made the whole process so pleasantly smooth! Definitely going with Voltz for all future electrical work on my home!

Starting up a new business is not easy to say the least.

Getting a new business up and running requires lots of calling around, talking with numerous people throughout the day from companies A-Z. For the last month my phone has been glued to my ear. Stress levels high? Yes.

I called Voltz Electric and their secretary picked up the phone, my first thought, YES! Someone picked up!
She was very diligent about getting me to speak with Matt, who would be managing my project. I was VERY pleased to get such a quick response! I was set up with an appointment that very day. That is what I like when I'm on a serious timeline.

My project: I needed 3 sub-panels connected to the main breaker in the building, a 2 day project. In my world, that is big contractor work.

On such a large project, before I hired Matt I got two quotes. I am the kind of person who cares about what kind of person I will be doing business with, and it is not all about money (but for practicality purposes it does matter, which is why I looked for two quotes). I chose Matt because the price was competitive, but more importantly A. He had great yelp reviews, B. My experience in dealing with them was hassle free, and C. After I met him, he pretty much had the job in the bag.

Since I don't know much about electrical work and am not an electrician, I trusted my own personal judgement on the vibes I got from Matt (sounds cheesy, but I am a believer in these things and have quite good luck with it), who as far as I can tell seems personable, honest, and straight forward. He answered my phone calls on point whenever I had questions and was really quick to respond to my text messages. Not only was my experience hassle free, but the job was done perfectly as Matt planned, AND done exactly on schedule as planned. Very on point.

I also like having confidence in the work I hire; Voltz Electric gave me a 5-year warranty on the work they did for me. Sweet!

One big check off my list of things to do.
Big thanks to Voltz Electric!

There is a reason you see mainly Five Star Reviews for Voltz Electric. They are professional, courteous, and do excellent work. Should I be asked by someone else for a name of an electrician I will give their name as they are the best. Thank you Voltz Electric for installing can lights in my kitchen.

Voltz Electric's service, crew, and work are marvelous, and I am very impressed. They gave me a fair bid for the services provided, quickly secured the City and PGE permits/requirements, the crew (Nick, Francisco & Luke) showed up exactly on time, communication was terrific, and the work was perfect with minimal disruption. My new electric panel was installed in two days, PGE arrived earlier than expected & everything is working perfectly. These certified & professional electricians worked hard, were patient with me, and kindly assessed several other issues I have in my older home. I've already recommended Voltz to another family friend, and I am grateful for the referral I received from another pleased Voltz customer. I will continue to highly recommend them.

I've just finished my third job with Voltz and I am a very happy customer. Voltz will be my first (and hopefully only) choice for all my residential electrical needs.

My first job was grounding some outlets and cleaning up bad electrical work. The second was to run some Ethernet to a couple of rooms.

All the work was done quickly, properly and cleanly. The price quoted at the start was the price you paid. There are no surprises. It is very easy to communicate with the office. Calls and emails are always returned promptly and cheerfully by Marina.

After the first two jobs we took the plunge - we had our flat panel mounted over a corner fireplace. This was tough since walls had to be opened up for electrical and A/V cables as well as installing a mount and sound bar. Data and cable TV had to be rerouted but the existing service had to be maintained since this was going to take more than a single visit.

Ruben came out and went over the job. We got a quote from the office and set a date. Ruben and Eric came out and got started. They opened up parts of two walls, installed an electrical outlet behind the panel and ran HDMI, Ethernet and coax cables.

We had to stop at that point so I could bring in a drywall guy to patch and texture and a painter to make it all clean again.

Ruben came out for another visit and installed the mount, the sound bar, transferred the cable service across the room, terminated the data cables and hung the panel itself.

The job took some time because of the scheduling of different tradesmen but boy it was worth it. The panel looks like it always belonged over the fireplace. Everything works flawlessly. The electrical and data work is exactly what it needed to be. We couldn't be happier.

All during the process Voltz was so easy to work with. Everyone was professional and friendly. When someone was scheduled to be at the house they were there at the appointed time.

I highly recommend Voltz Electric. I have other electrical jobs that need to be done and I'm going back to them. Try them. You'll be glad that you did.

Experience working with Voltz was fantastic from quote to finish. Crew was always on time, courteous, knowledgeable, and cleaned up after they left. Matt was honest in his assessment and risks to project due to knob & tube and existing gas lines; New panel, transformed existing panel to sub-panel, pot lights, dimmers, and electrical. Voltz handled all permits and contact with PG&E. Held to his quote as well even with 3+ full days of labor w/multiple guys working. While I got cheaper quotes from other electricians, I am more than satisfied that the job that was done. Team held to schedule and more importantly the job was done correctly. Everything was left clean when they finished. Wish we could rewire the entire house.

I suddenly found myself with an older GFI plug in the garage which no longer worked and it was affecting the downline electrical as a result. I asked for a quote on Yelp....schedule the appointment for the same day and the Voltz crew arrived promptly and very quickly fixed the outlet. Polite, prompt service....executed with integrity. That is awesome and has my endorsement.

Called in to set up an appointment with Matt. The process of getting an appointment was easy. Matt came in listened to what I had planned. Agreed on many, provided a muted push back on others and suggested alternatives. He was right on his assumptions and I agreed with him. I received a quote which was on the high side. Did not provide any sort of flexibility on pricing. I was lucky to get Ruben to do my house. A true craftsman and professional. He recommended a few things there and there and we incorporated his suggestions along the way. Overall, extremely happy to have Voltz and Ruben in particular do my house. We installed new LED lights throughout the house along with ceiling fans. I have aluminum wiring in the house that added to the complexity and had to use a special goo where copper connections were necessary. The aluminum wiring that is still there will go and Voltz will be doing it.

Efficient, courteous & clean! Had them install a dedicated circuit for my home theater. They did it quickly and cleanly. They were nice guys, too. The cost was reasonable. I would use them again.

Voltz's principle contacted me recently. We agreed on a compromise and he refunded half of the charge, for which I upgraded my review to 3 stars. I thought this fair. I'm not out to screw service people. Open neutrals can be destructive and a bit tricky to diagnose and find. That being said, any tech should know when they're in over their head. And please, never tell a customer he's being charged a day's work for not finding the problem and top it by telling him how lucky he is to not be spending $10K in repairs when the customer diagnoses the problem for the tech. I guess anyone can have a bad day.

Super professional and friendly people all way round. A little misunderstanding happened regarding scheduling, but Voltz Electric handled it top notch. The electricians who came out fixed the problem fast, and gave me some recommendations as to what I should consider doing in the near future, since my panel is from 1975. Their recommendations came of as helpful guidance and not sales-y in any way. I will not hesitate to call them again if we decide to go forward with the recommendations they gave or we have any other problem with the electricity. I can only recommend them!

Additional work...
Matt's crew has been back to my house several times since my initial review. I had them back to ground all the plugs in our house, install a ceiling fan and track lighting on an open beam ceiling. The crew was very easy to communicate with. They found a way to get to some of the awkwardly located outlets in our split level house, found a way to run track lighting and install a ceiling fan on our previously un-wired open beam ceiling. Great service and high quality work.

they are very professional and prompt. i got an appt. on the same day I called and they were bang on time for when it was scheduled. i had approx. 3 power point issues and also power outage in one bathroom. everything was troubleshooted and fixed within 30 minutes by Mike. he was awesome and a thorough professional. will highly recommend using voltz electric for electrical needs.

I selected Voltz Electric based on the Yelp rating and reviews. I was not disappointed.

My job consisted of installing two new duplex outlets (one indoor, one outdoor) and eight new Ethernet cables to support security cameras. The work was done in one day (mid-October 2015) by a team of three: Rubin, Eric and one other. I worked with James and Marina over the phone and via email to develop an understanding of pricing and get the job scheduled.

I am completely satisfied by the work accomplished by the Voltz Electric team. In particular, Rubin suggested an alternate location for one of the Ethernet outlets that has worked out much better than the location that I was thinking about would have been.

I am not really qualified to comment on the price that I paid for this work. It was expensive, but not out of line with other quotes that I got over the phone.

All things considered, I expect that Voltz Electric will be the first call that I make when it comes time for more electrical work on my house.

I used Voltz electric around 6 years ago to install a whole house fan. They were on time, clean, and very professional during the installation.

Recently the fan was having an issue so I called them yesterday to see if they could help diagnose the issue. I was able to schedule them for this morning at 8am, which was great. Obviously i was expecting to pay for this and assumed that a new fan might be needed. Turned out to be a lose allen nut. Mike (great guy) also checked around and made sure the belts were in good shape and not too loose, etc... In the end, they charged me less for the service call than what they quoted over the phone since they installed it and i'm a repeat customer.

Mike was extremely helpful in diagnosing the problem and will definitely call Voltz again.

Outstanding work and outstanding customer service. We bought a duplex in downtown San Jose that needed to be completely rewired and completely re-roofed, and completely re-plumbed and everything else you can imagine. Voltz Electric did an outstanding job, adjusting schedules at last minute to move an electric panel so demo could begin when new termite damage was discovered and to meet PGE who unexpectantly showed on site to bring permanent power up. Matt and Rueben gave thoughtful suggestions on minor electrical & lighting layout and made sure their crew cleaned up after themselves after every visit.

We were on a fast track and met aggressive inspection schedules. I could always count on Voltz to complete work on time and not hold up other trades. When the San Jose inspector came on site he routinely said how beautiful' their work was.

And after move in they were extremely responsive to requests to help troubleshoot (owner error) and make minor tweaks as requested.

Although it took me months to finally write this review I can't recommend Voltz highly enough!!!

Made an appointment last Monday for today. The appointment was for 12~2pm time frame. I got a call from Voltz at around 1215 saying that the guys would be late. No problem I said, thanks for the update. Later, I was notified that the electricians were still on the other job site, and offered a discount. Gladly I accepted. Long story short, the guys arrived. I could tell they were dead tired. Still they were professional and answered all my questions. They also explained the problem. We even chit chatted and joked about past experiences. Great service. I highly recommend them. I even posted a photo of a light they installed.

Completely professional, efficient and competent. I contacted Voltz after not receiving any response from some other yelp electricians and Voltz sent James out for an estimate in just a few days. He listened to what I wanted to do and also provided necessary input to help me visualize what sort of finished product they would produce. I wanted to install outdoor light to 3 different locations (2 in front, 1 on side yard) and the estimate I received seemed reasonable in price. I got an email later that day with an official estimate and scheduled the work for 2 weeks out (business must be good). On the day of the installation, both installers arrived exactly at the time of the appointment and after a quick review, they started immediately. The work took less than a day and when they were done, everything looked and worked perfect. I could not be happier with the install or the customer service. I recommend Voltz and will use them again when I have another project.

First time using an electrician. Happy I found Voltz Electric. Had 16 recessed lights installed in my house. Work was well done and I would use them again.

Scheduling was easy, James, the manager showed up on time and had 4 guys to come to my house so that the work could be completed in 1 day.

Tip to others - always check the contractor's license. Prior to working with Voltz, I contacted a few other general contractors and electricians, more than half either didn't have a license or their license expired.

Helped me transition to LED lighting (mostly changing dimmers and installing lights that were difficult to access). Friendly and efficient. Clear communications. Will work with them again.

I've waited to write this review because I wanted to make sure the everything went smoothly well after the job has been done. I am happy say, we are thrilled with the work by the Voltz Electric team!

It's been 5 months since we've had all of our outlets updated with ground wiring and our recessed lighting updated with BRIGHTER and more energy efficient fixtures.

A couple of shout outs:

Karen: She response quickly to phone calls and emails. She also helps customers who are completely clueless about this stuff (ie. me) figure out the the problem may be and what the customer is trying to achieve.

Ryan and Evan: Ryan was in charge of the project the majority of the time. Immediately felt comfortable with him being in our home. Great at walking me through what kind of work would be done. Evan also worked on the projects the entire time. He is super tall and did a great job. :)

The owner also stopped buy a couple of times during the project to make sure everything was going well.

Overall, I am super happy with the work by this company and plan to have more work done later this year.

I was happy to find a great contractor finally for the house. A few years ago I tried to save money and go with a cheaper bid to upgrade my panel, to be left with shoddy work and poor professionalism.
While Voltz isnt the cheapest bid, you get what you pay for. What I paid for was great service, clean work and good communication. It is nice to see a pair of electricians come into our house, and have a great attitude and do outstanding work.
We just did a kitchen remodel and had partially open walls. They came in and ran 8 new lines to the kitchen and bathroom, demo-ed old knob and tube wiring (which we had to keep some active), and did a ton of lighting. We have two attic crawl spaces that were not joined, and they even opened the cali drop enough for future work which nobody else did.
Ryan and Dante, did great work, they just went that extra step many times. when I didnt like something, they adapted and adjusted with smile. James whom did the bid was a major help with the planning, was patient and communicated great. We had pushed this remodel off for about 6 months, and he was still helpful throughout the whole process.

These guys are great. Starting with Marina in the office all the way to Ruben and Steven (doing the work). They came to the house on time and were very professional. They got to work immediately by putting down protective plastic and installing a second switch to power a hallway light. new switch. I am extremely happy with Voltz and will be calling them again when I am ready to remodel my kitchen.

This is review is long overdue. I used them about a year ago. Awesome service. Karen (I think that was her name) was attentive and sweet on the phone. Got Mike out to me same day. I had tried to install a bathroom light fixture and mixed wires- blew a fuse. Then was scared I was going to burn my house down. The guys came and took care of it all quickly, cleanly, and made me feel secure again that all was well. I'll use them again for sure.

Added a circuit/receptacle for my overhead microwave/exhaust, installed 5 recessed lights and move my fan to the middle of the room. Responded to my request for an estimate in a timely manner. Performed the work as promised and on time, added a little extra fix at no charge. No mess left behind. I was even given a rough estimate for a job outside their work area when I was buying a house outside of the San Jose area. I would use them again.

We stacked our dryer on top of our washer to save space in our laundry room.

The included dryer cord was too short, so I had to investigate how to either get a longer cord (one isn't made), or to change the outlet to accept a standard dryer power cord.

I found out quickly that there were wiring issues with the outlet, creating a potential risk of shock. Dryers, you might well know, are pretty high-voltage, high current animals, and the code for wiring outlets for dryers has been updated a few times to improve the safety.

Well, James from Voltz spent a solid ten minutes on the phone with me to ascertain whether I even needed his services, or whether I could fix it myself. He suggested I send a picture of the outlet (I sent four, including our circuit breaker), and he called back to explain in detail where we stood, and how we could upgrade to the most recent standard (even though we would currently pass inspection). Safety is pretty big for us, with two little kids.

James sent over Ruben to assess our situation. Ruben showed up earlier than expected. He was very, very pleasant, very professional, and very good at communicating what he saw, and what we could do.

Ruben then took care of everything to prepare the outlet in the ultra-safe method, and gave me instructions on what I needed to do next.

Its all fixed! Best safety, looks great, and all in one morning.

I cannot say enough about Ruben or James, or about Voltz Electric. Smart, punctual, professional, courteous, knowledgeable and efficient. They gave me the option to choose the amount of time and money I wanted to spend. They understood my focus on safety. They did it all with no hassle and at a very reasonable cost. Absolutely worth the charges.

I have some more work coming up, and I will absolutely choose Voltz again. Thanks, James, and thanks, Ruben!

Matt is very professional, polite & trustworthy. He is very easy to communicate, always returns my phone calls & e-mails, answers and addresses my concernes. He also gave me great suggestions on choosing our outdoor low voltage lights. His quote is reasonable, and he didn't exceed it even after I made a few changes.
It added a beautiful touch around our pool area, and a soft, pleasant glow throughout our landscape.
Jordan and Mike are neat, friendly and efficient. They installed several indoor recess lights, made a few upgrades, & completed the work on time.
I'd highly recommend Voltz Electric, and I'll continue to use their services in the future!!!

I brought Voltz in to fix improper wiring done by a previous contractor on a Kitchen remodel. Fair pricing, and honored the quote despite the job turning out to be more complex than it initially appeared and exceeding the estimated hours. They explained everything they were doing, and pointing out things to keep in mind with my current panel. Pleasant to work with too.

Voltz electric installed level two car charger for us, about six months ago. They were thorough in explaining the process, cost etc. They showed up on time and finished the job efficiently. Since I had taken the day off, I asked if they could upgrade the electrical panel( long over due). After talking to HQ, they gave me estimate for panel upgrade and finished the day long job. I am very grateful for taking on the additional work, thus saving me additional time to schedule it. In all probability, I would still be sitting on it.

Thank you, Voltz!

It was Great working with Votlz. They were very responsive to my timeframe after I fired my contractor and I was able to work directly with them. They helped my project along as well as kept within my budget. I will always call them for any of my electrical needs large or small.

Steven P.

These folks were incredible. The office personnel and the gentleman who came to our home performed to very high standards. A great value for the money. My wife and I will consider them only when we need electrical work done again in the future.

We had Ruben and Eric come over to replace our canned lights. They were most polite and very helpful on giving sound advice and tips. You can't ask for any better service. They were very communicative and clear. The quote they gave me was the same at the end with no add ons. They knew what they were doing! We would definitely call them again in the future for all our electrician needs! Thank you Ruben and Eric for your service!

I have initially planned to install 4-5 canned light in one of the bedrooms. Ryan came for the job, but told me that 4-5 canned light is too bright for a bed room. One of the ceiling light would be just fine, and I would save a lot money. I like his honest attitude, so I used Voltz to install canned light in my living room. Mike and his crew showed up on time, very cautious about the dust and inconvenience caused by the work. Mike made sure that I was satisfied with the placement of the lights. The work is very professional and I will use them again.

I was referred to Matt @ Voltz by another electrical on yelp as I needed specialization for outdoor work. Matt was very responsive and within 2 days came out to assess the job. Right then and there he was able to secure a crew for me to coordinate with my delivery of the hot tub. The crew were professional and very customer oriented. They also worked well with the current landscape crew that was already doing work on my yard. We had one issue with a broken breaker on the Friday when they were finished. On Monday am, someone was out to fix it without having me follow up. I will continue to use Matt and his crew on any electrical need and would absolutely refer them out.

We hired Voltz Electric to install 2 light fixtures in guest bedrooms and recessed lighting in our master bedroom. 3 crew members came on time and started work after discussing with my husband what the process was going to be. After we okay'd everything, my husband left for work. Shortly after, James came by the house and told me that the recessed lighting fixtures that we had weren't made anymore and that the ones available now were similar, but not the same. I said that was fine and they went to purchase the materials.

When they came back, they had almost finished the light install in our baby's nursery. They had already cut the hole in the guest bedroom to start work on that and then they realized that they didn't have attic access to that area. They explained that in order to work on that part of the room, they would need to drill several holes to run the wire. The reason why I am giving them 3 stars is because they really should have checked to make sure they could do the light before putting a hole in my ceiling. Now we have a patch job that doesn't look good that could have been avoided had they actually looked at the access before cutting a hole in the ceiling. I know they aren't drywall specialists but they wouldn't have had to do anything with that ceiling had they looked before acting.

Then they looked for access to the master bedroom and discovered the same thing. James then came back to survey the area and confirmed that they wouldn't be able to put the lights in the master or guest bedroom unless we wanted to drill into the sheetrock, which would then entail a replacement of it and painting of it. That would also cost us an additional couple of thousand dollars. We decided against it and paid them for the one room that they did. However, we were quoted for a whole job so I guess there was a 3 room discount of some kind. But since we only did 1 room in the end, we ended up paying $155 more than we anticipated for the one room.

They were very clean. They put down plastic wherever they worked and also covered their shoes. They vacuumed everything up when they were done and did a great job explaining what the issue was. I only wish they were able to come up with a solution that wouldn't have cost us an additional couple thousand dollars. They were really great to work with and would highly recommend them for their professionalism and their knowledge. I would just make sure they do their research before starting.

**UPDATE** Matt, the owner, read my comments on yelp and immediately contacted us. He came over to our house, checked on the work himself and decided that there was a way they could do the lights without cutting into the sheetrock. He offered to have someone come do the texturizing and finishing of the ceiling out of their pocket if we decided not to have them do our lights. He gave me back the check I gave them on Friday and was extremely apologetic. He said that his star guy, Mike, had a cancellation and could work on the lights today if I wanted. I agreed to the extremely reasonable price and they were here to work on the lights by noon. Mike assessed the situation with Matt and said they should have no problem doing the lights the way we wanted. They finished in a timely manner, did exactly what we wanted, and were very professional and very kind. I would DEFINITELY recommend them as this is the best customer service experience I have had in a really long time. Matt and his team are exceptional!!

Called Voltz on Wednesday morning, got a call back from their secretary later that day. She was unsure about my situation and said I would get a call back the following da, no problem. Matt called me Thursday morning and we talked over my situation - my panel doesn't have a door and it's on the outside of my house. He was honest about the situation - that he doesn't have the part - and gave me great suggestions to try to remedy it. We talked about replacing the panel and he was knowledgeable about my type of house on the east side and had good information about the cost and the lengthiness of the process and in the end even he stated it really wasn't worth it to do all the work. SO nice that he was honest and didn't try a hard sell with me. In the end I did not get any work done by them but I truly appreciate the follow through with my phone call and his honesty and suggestions. Great integrity! Thank you!

I hired Voltz for a number of jobs and they did fantastic work every time! Marina is a very helpful project manager and made setting appointments and billing a breeze. Reuben and Mike were always on time, did good work and always went out of their way to explain the problems and what they were doing to fix them. My property has some issues with access and they were always able to work around small spaces. The couple of times I needed them to come out and fix something quickly, they were always able to get someone out within a day or two. Highly recommended!

I had my electrical work done about almost 6 months ago so this review was overdue. I had Matt and his crew to help me install quite a few new lightings since our house was built in 50s and there was not much lightings done. We did recess lights in the entry and hallway; celing lights for 3 bedrooms and family room; a chandelier in the dinning area, and also fixed the couple outlets.

Here are couple areas I would like to give him thumbs up.
- Budget: everything was within what were quoted and Matt tries his best to make sure there is no suprises for his customers.

- Project time: They team is timely, professional, and kept the work area clean and tidy up at the end of day. He has the can do attitude from him and all the way to his crew.

- Communication: Matt is very responsive, and easy to work with. More importantly, he is very knowledgeable and I liked all the recommandations he made.

I definitley will call him back for future projects and recommand him to family and friends!

Ruben fixed quite a number of electrical problems at our house, and I was very impressed by his knowledge (he was also quite friendly). In particular, we had some complex electrical problems that no one else thought had a simple solution, but Ruben figured out immediately an easy resolution of those problems! Furthermore, the office manager James was very easy to work with and very fair. All in all, we had a great experience with Voltz Electric, and we enthusiastically recommend them.

Matt came on a Saturday within minutes even though he was on his way to a car show and didn't have his tools. He was super efficient and professional. Diagnosed the problem and had it fixed in minutes. Wouldn't accept payment because it turned out to be a simple flipped fuse (I had only lived in my house for a month and didn't know I had 2 circuit breakers).

The guys at Voltz got to invade and eradicate my electrical nightmare recently. There was a lot of head-shaking and looks of disbelief on both sides, but I wasn't as surprised as they were at what they found.

It cost me a decent chunk of change to fix what needed to be fixed, but I fully-expected the cost to be much higher for the work these fine gents did. Now I can sleep at night knowing that what's behind my walls is up-to-code and a billion times safer that what I had before.

Started out with 2 electricians for a troubleshoot of our downstairs lighting, but quickly blossomed into 4 when Matt became aware of the situation and what work I wanted done. All of the guys were extremely knowledgeable, nice and professional. They kept me updated on all of their findings throughout the process and worked quickly and efficiently to resolve the issues.

I'm completely happy with the finished product and I will definitely use them again for any future work.

I found Voltz Electric on Yelp and had a great experience with them this morning. They absolutely deserve all of the 5-star reviews that they've received.

Long story short: I needed an electrician ASAP after I lost power to most of my kitchen appliances. Resetting the breaker didn't solve the problem, so I put in calls to the top 4 electricians on Yelp.

Here's why I'm glad I went with Voltz:

1) They're responsive.

Matt, the owner of Voltz, was one of the first to return my call. He was really helpful and immediately suggested a few quick things to check to help him narrow down the problem and assess the potential scope of work. Then he provided a clear estimate and booked an appointment for me within 24 hours of my call.

2) They're professional.

The team that Matt sent (Jordan and an assistant) was great. They showed up on time and were courteous, knowledgeable, and methodical in diagnosing the problem.

3) They're honest and reasonably priced.

I especially appreciated their honesty in explaining required vs. recommended work. Admittedly, I don't know the first thing about electrical work, so I easily could've been duped into an expensive and/or unnecessary fix. Fortunately, that wasn't the case, and they got me back up & running in a hour, which came in at the low end of the estimate that Matt had provided.

I'm very happy with my experience and will definitely call Matt & team first when I need help with future electrical work.

We got several quotes and although a bit higher in price than the rest we still went with Voltz electric in the end as we felt Matt and his team (especially Mike) had the most experience and were very professional (knew exactly what to do and came with options and honest recommendations). Since that day, we've had several other contractors to help us with other house renovations and none have compared to Matt's team. Matt and Mike were both very accommodating to our requests and we always felt like they wanted to make sure we were happy. Also, although higher in price initially, Matt ended up throwing in a few things that other contractors definitely would have sent us change orders for. Go with Voltz, you won't regret it!

Our lights flickered every now and then but we thought it's not a big deal until it got worse. We had pg&e root caused the issue towards our main electrical panel. I contacted Matt due to great reviews on yelp. I've got to admit...every word here is true. Matt guided us throughout and helped fix this issue plus other minor electrical problems altogether. He has very experienced group of electricians. Initially it was estimated to be 5-6 hrs job but Mike, Matt's foreman, fixed all issues in 4 hours!! What a great experience. Now we know who to contact for any electrical problem. Voltz will be our family electricians! I'll recommend Voltz to everyone in a heartbeat.

Extremely quick and efficient!

We rent a condo and the light switch in our guest bedroom hasn't worked since we moved in a year ago. We talked to our landlady about it, and she said it's never worked and didn't want to deal with fixing it, which might involve tearing up the walls, etc.

I finally decided I might as well get an electrician to come out and look at it to see if they could fix it without ripping up the walls. I called up Voltz around 10:30am (Tues) and the lady who answered the phone said they would come by between 1:30 and 3:30 that same day. She called me again at 2:00 to let me know that they were running late and would get here around 4:00 instead. They got here at 4:15, came in, took a look at the light switch and outlet, and immediately figured out what was wrong. By 4:30 they'd fixed it, charged me, and left. I now have a working light switch!

Great experience with Voltz. They were extremely friendly, were able to schedule me in immediately, called me when they were running late, and fixed everything so fast they were gone again before I knew it.

I had completed my own kitchen remodel and discovered I did not properly setup the GFCI counter top circuit. In addition I wanted to have a professional verify if I installed my stove circuit & outlet properly before I tried out my new stove. I called several electricians and for many the job was too small, others asked for an astronomical hourly rate. Then Voltz Electric came to my rescue. The electrician came out, analyzed the GFCI issue, made recommendations and continued to fix the circuit very quickly. In addition he made some enhancements to my stove outlet and hardwired the stove per code. I was delighted with the professionalism of the electrician, the recommendations he made, as I learned something, all at a very reasonable price. I could not be more delighted. As such I highly recommend Voltz Electric for your electrical needs.

Needed 4 Ceiling fans installed and mounted. Went through Yelp for contractors and finally picked Voltz Electric and called them yesterday. They sent in Ruben and Evan to do the job.

Based on the review here I was expecting to be very impressed with their work. But I wasn't prepared to be blown away. They took care of every single detail, including running new cables, drilling the ceiling for the mount.

After mounting one of the fans, they noticed the blades weren't aligned properly (manufacturer fault). So proceeded to open up the fan, fix the alignment on the blade mounting plate so that the fan wouldn't wobble..

After everything was done did a complete cleanup of the house. Highly recommend Ruben and Evan. Very efficient team, very professional and they absolutely do not hesitate to go well beyond what's needed to do A+ job.

First I have a thing about being on time so imagine how happy I was when Jordan called and said they were running ahead of schedule! 1 hour early, YIPPEE!
I am generally a do-it-yourselfer but this one had me stumped. Jordan took a look and spotted the problem immediately, gave me an estimate and he and his partner Travis went right to work. I am nosy so I hung around to watch. It was obvious they knew what they were doing and took care of my problem in about an hour. They cleaned-up before they left which is also another big plus with me. The price was very reasonable and mentioning that you found them on yelp gets you a discount. I would absolutely call them again.

I recently used Voltz Electric to replace a bunch of plugs and switches in my house. I was totally pleased with the service. They were reasonably priced but most importantly they showed up when said they would and completed the job in timely manner.
I would definitely recommend Voltz Electric to anyone who needs a good electrician.

Very thorough, very professional. Fixed the problem quickly (a busted GFI outlet and correcting previous owner's bad wiring) and came in a little under quoted price. Would use again!

When we purchased out new house, one of the first things my husband wanted done was to get low voltage cable (Cat6 and RG-6) installed in every room so that we could have data ports in every room. While shopping for electricians we only found a few who also did cable runs. With that said, we decided to go with Voltz because in pricing the cable runs they charged for the number of drops we needed, not the number of lines we were running, which significantly dropped down the price. My husband and I were even concerned about this and emailed and called Matt multiple times to ensure he knew exactly what we were being priced with and he still stuck with the original quote, which was awesome.

We also got our panel upgraded, had recessed lighting put in the living room, had three ceiling lights installed in three of the bed rooms, had additional circuits run, as well as have various misc electrical work done, which included fixing the doorbell which didn't work. The guys did a great job installing and fixing everything, especially when it came to the doorbell. It seems like such a small and silly thing, but when they finally got the doorbell wired up, the chime was off and would only ding once when you pressed the doorbell. Since the doorbell has been broken for a while, I was happy just hearing it ring, even if it was once, but Mike (the foreman I believe) insisted that since they were there working on it anyway, that it should at least have the dong too. So he and one other guy stay behind after everything was finished just to finish up the doorbell and make sure it worked the way it should.

All in all I have to say the crew that came out was awesome, and that they did an amazing job.

The only one minor complaint I have is that they did not label the cable runs, which would have been a relatively easy thing to do while they were running the lines. It is rather inconvenient that we now have to tone every line to figure out which line goes to which room, but given everything else, I don't think it detracts too much from the quality of their work.

Called them this morning, they showed up right on time - this morning - and fixed the problem. Ruben was professional, polite, and friendly. The project appears to be perfect. Have used Voltz before and had a great experience that time, too.

Having bought a house built in the 60's, I inherited the work of others over the past 50 years. I had many overloaded breakers and an outdated main panel for the times. I originally called Hewlett Electric and they could not accomodate my schedule so they referred me to Voltz.

Matt came out and I showed him my situation and we went over what I wanted to do. He pointed out legitimate safety issues that needed to be addressed. He worked out a detailed scope of work and quote. We refined scope and came to an agreement. The work was much more than I planned originally, but I will be able to rest knowing my electrical is sound.

The Voltz crew arrived on time and maintained the schedule. All the workers were easy to talk to and knew what they were doing. They get the job done right and maintain safe practices. You pay for quality work and you get quality work and exceptional service. It's hard to find honest and fair people, but you'll get that with the Voltz crew.

I already have a couple future project ideas for Matt and his crew. I would highly recommend Voltz!

Voltz Electric did a great job replacing my old kitchen lights. My husband and I recently bought a home that badly needed the old kitchen flourescent lights replaced due to bad wiring. When I spoke to Matt (the owner) on the phone he was very informative about my options. I was able to get an appointment scheduled the following week and the guys showed up on time and explained their scope of work in terms that were very easy for me to understand. I would work with them again. Thank you for a beautiful job!

Great price. Great service. Very professional. Mike is an awesome electrician. He is smart, efficient and does quality work. He installed a manual transfer switch to my home's electrical panel. Now my generator can directly power the house via the main panel without a bunch of extension cords. I highly recommend these guys. Thanks!

James came in for an estimate for upgrade and I am just SO IMPRESSED with his honest and professional service. He checked the electric panel and said no upgrade is needed. He didn't try to sell me anything - he just politely and very professionally advised me some watch out in the future. Absolutely satisfied for their FREE estimate. Highly highly recommend!

Made an appointment for a ceiling fan install and was able to get a next day appointment. Jordan and Isaac showed up the next morning on time. Service was very professional and efficient. Matt gave a quote over the phone and was reasonable. Will definitely call them for our next electrical service.

Lynn M.

8/28/2012

Wow! These guys are great! Initially, I was going to give Voltz a so-so review for my first experience with them last week. I was happy that Mike, the technician, was efficient and quick so that wasn't the problem. To make a long story short....it was related to the bill for the work done.

So I decided rather than writing a mediocre review and being upset, I called the company. I spoke to James and explained how I felt. He quickly called the owner, Matt, and called me back in minutes. James told me that he was refunding me the difference from the original quote that was given to me over the phone. He not only gave me the refund, but he also drove over and hand-delivered it to me the same day! (in 2 hours)

I was really impressed! Voltz really cares about their customers. They didn't blow off my complaint, take my money and call it a day. Now I feel confident that I found a truly honest and reputable electrical company. In the past, i had a bad experience with one where we had spent $$$$ for our new home and since then, had never used their services again.

How well James handled my concern promptly and professionally has redeemed my belief that not all electrical companies are shady. Voltz seems to stand by their word and the happiness of their customers. I will not hesitant to call them again for future services!

Thanks again James!

You won't go wrong with Voltz. They are very prompt, professional, courteous, and reasonably priced... can't say enough good things about them..

They installed a few light fixtures and recess lights, replaced switches and outlets... and fixed a problem caused by another contractor.

I am very happy with all the work they did.

My phone line stopped working and these guys we're really responsive in troubleshooting the problem and figuring out a fix. Prices are really reasonable too. I'd definitely recommend them.

Came in for an inspection on a home we just bought, that had shotty wiring. They fixed a few small issues the same day as the inspection, then came back a few weeks later with a two-man crew to tackle the bulk of the problems. They were in and out before lunch time. They were great; they worked fast enough and quiet enough that my children had no idea they were even there. The two guys who came out were very knowledgable and even replaced a few cover plates for me that I didn't even notice were missing. They also replaced some outlets that were broken too. Awesome work. I'm not longer afraid of an electrical fire starting in my attic because I know they did the job right. We will definitely call them in the future for electrical needs.

Evan and Ante did some work at my new place, installing a light/fan combo in one bathroom and separating a fan/light circuit into two separate switches in another. Evan was great to work with. They both put on shoe covers upon coming in, cleaned up everything after the job, left the cut-up drywall looking decent when it was over (they don't do drywall, they're electricians, and they tell you that!), they even wiped off their boot-marks on my front porch when they left, they worked quickly, price was reasonable and according to estimate, and everything they did worked well. What more would you want?

My oven wasn't heating past 150 degrees and I had a warranty through Lowe's who identified the problem as a bad relay and replaced it but this didn't fix the problem. They said I had a wiring issue and to call an electrician. I called Voltz and made an appointment. I also asked Alicia to call me if anything opened up sooner. Three days before my scheduled appointment she called me and a technician was at my home in 30 minutes. He diagnosed the problem and repaired it. And since the problem was with the original wiring done by the Lowe's installers he took pictures and offered to help me with the warranty claim. Haven't gotten to that yet (lazy me) but I appreciated the offer and level of detail. Thank you so much Alicia, Jordan, Matt, and the rest of the Voltz crew!

We were selling our house and had a punch list from the property inspections. I called several companies but Voltz got back to me quickly and were available the soonest. They quoted me a not to exceed number (worst case scenario) that others would not - it would have just been and open-ended time and materials thing. I had to reschedule them because of a conflict with the termite treatment and they were very accommodating. When they came out to do the work, they were on time, polite, clean, efficient and very helpful. They explained options for handling certain situations up front (ungrounded plugs - we can switch the plate out to a two-prong outlet or we can spend $200 for their time to run a ground wire) and were done in less time than quoted.

I highly recommend them and intend to use them if there are any electrical issues in our new house.

We needed help wiring a broken light switch, and Voltz was right there with superb service. We would recommend this company to anyone--they are efficient, personable and have reasonable prices. I wasVERY impressed with Ryan Calamia and really enjoyed having him show me what was wrong with the wiring, andhe even gave tips on my next self-project. He was wonderful. Thanks, Ryan!

if I could give Voltz a 10 star review, I would! They know their stuff and are punctual, courteous and reasonably priced. Today Ruben came out to troubleshoot my home's electrical panel and pathway post lamp plus reprogram a porch light timer. He had all of the work done in less than an hour. He explained to me exactly how to reset the tripped switches on my panel, reprogrammed my timer ( plus wrote down the instructions for me to do it myself next time) and got my post lamp working perfectly. Karen in the office is a great communicator and worked hard to get someone over to my place quickly. James gave me a great estimate and was also extremely polite and helpful.
Thank you once again Voltz Electric!!!

I called Voltz Electric. Someone called me back in less than 15 minutes to give me pricing.
Ryan took down my old ceiling fan and installed my new one.
He had the challenge of the very old wiring in our Rose Garden house built in 1919! Needless to say it needed extra TLC and proper wiring.
Ryan is professional and knowledgeable.
I highly recommend Ryan and this company!

Voltz recently completed a compete re-wiring of our home. We had aluminum wiring and wanted to get our home up to code and eliminate any risks from the aluminum. Matt and his staff of electricians were outstanding in every way, start to finish. They were responsive, punctual, efficient, knowledgeable and courteous. They finished the job on time. They were present on Day 1 through the last day of the project - did not run to other jobs. We felt we were the priority at all times. Great company to work with. Highly recommend.

Used Voltz after a referral from Hewlett Electric could not fit me in their schedule in time. We replaced our electric panel, and did miscellaneous work according to the home inspection in order to get my parent's house ready for sale. Matt and his team are excellent. They worked with us according to our timeline, dealt with the City for permit issues, and recommended a stucco repair man to patch around the panel. When I had questions, Matt was available by cell on weekends. It sounds like they keep a good crew. For some followup recessed lighting we were going to get done in the kitchen, Voltz gave us a quote, but we decided against it since they were now booked too far in advance. I guess it is the price you pay for good service and 5-star yelp reviews. I would not hesitate to use them in the future.

We are halfway through our remodel and I can't say enough about how great all the guys at Voltz have been to work with. In particular, James, Mike, Ante and Evan have gone the extra mile to work with us on both a tight budget and a tight timeline. The work is quality and the team is super friendly. If you want the job done right, these are the guys to call!! We are already planning our next project so we can work with them again.

Lynn R.

Mike and his partner just left from problem solving another electrical issue that came up. As before, excellent service, friendly guys and a shout out for that teacher discount! Mike also gave us some advice on what updates would need to be made to our panel before our remodel. Thanks again for the great experience Voltz!

I had an awful experience with an electrician my home warranty company sent me to, so I looked up on Yelp to find someone who could come out ASAP and fix an issue with my dryer outlet. The first electrician company (with deservedly horrible Yelp reviews) looked at some stuff, but said he needed authorization to open up my wall to investigate. So, he'd have to come back later once that was authorized. That of course never happened, and turned out to be completely wrong.

I called Voltz, and they had someone in the area and got Mike & James out to my door in less than 30 minutes!! I'd spent more time on hold with the previous company than I did waiting for actual competent electricians to show up at my house. They diagnosed the problem as the breaker switch was not fully flipped off before it was flipped back on (it was a hard switch to flip but obviously not something that required opening up the wall!) -- which the 1st guy completely missed. While they were here, I had them do some other minor tweaks and give estimates and recommendations on more substantial changes I wanted done. All of this seems reasonably priced, and Mike and James were incredibly nice. I'll be calling Voltz again!

Michael P.

10/22/2013

So I neglected to write a review for Matt and his crew the first time I hired him for my house and the excellent job he did for me, but this week he went above and beyond for my parent's house. Within a day, his crew came out, diagnosed the problem, and fixed a main panel and didn't try and upsell us on any un-needed work. Not only did he trouble shoot correctly, he finished the job under budget, and under the time he estimated. Who does that these days? Strong recommendation from a person who doesn't have time to write recommendations! Go Voltz!

I am a Personal Assistant/ Household Manager and I hired Voltz Electric to perform misc repairs around my bosses property. I was surpised with the courtesty and promptness given to me. My first impression of Matt, the owner was someone who I could allow into my bosses home without feeling uncomfortable. He explained to me in detail about the job, so I could understand. This is important to me and my job. The work went above and beyond expectation and completed when promised. I would recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a reliable and trustworthy contractor.

Hal S.

4/29/2010

I found Matt, Mike and the guys at Voltz Electric to be a very thorough company. I needed to upgrade some plugs, and Matt was the first company to give me an estimate. He surveyed the situation and gave me what I thought to be a reasonable price. He suggested other items and services that I might want, but he didn't try to pad the estimate. Mike and his crew showed up exactly on time and were very professional the entire time they were at my house. They found other issues with my old house, so they fixed everything they found, but only after discussing it with me and giving me an estimated price and time.
We wanted a couple extra outlets installed, and they did a great job. I would recommend Voltz Electric to anybody who needs an honest and professional electrician, and I will engage them for my future electrical needs.

Sean M.

6/21/2011

We moved to a new house recently and hired Voltz again to this time run some very complicated switch runs between the house & our detached garage as well as running cat 5 & coax cable for us. They also did some very long runs of new dedicated appliance circuits as well as a circuit for outdoors on a side of the house that had no outlet.

This was a big job and involved trenching up a slope, working under the house in crawl spaces and crawling up in a hot attic. They did a great job and in fact are a pleasure to work with.

We will continue to use Voltz whenever we have electrical needs - we only wish all contractors were this reliable, this good and this easy to work with.

Michael O.

10/03/2011 12:00:00 SA

The guys who came to our house had several things to complete, requiring crawl space, attic, and panel work. They were terrific to work with, pointing out things I might want to know along the way and working around the schedules of other contractors in the house. In fact, for day 2 it was likely that one room would be shared with two sets of people, so one of the guys volunteered to show up at 7am to get started before the others. He was there when he said he would be and they worked, worked, worked until the job was thoroughly completed. We will definitely use them again in the future.

Brian H.

10/03/2012 12:00:00 SA

Fast, clean, efficient work. I wouldn't call them cheap, but the fee charged was exactly what I agreed to over the phone (flat rate 2 hour diagnostic). I had some overhead lights that stopped working and I couldn't find the source of the problem. Turns out one of the lights that was still working was the cause. Took the tech a little bit of time (about 45 minutes) to track down the source - poor wiring job (i.e. loose) and a non-insulated fixture with a bulb that was too hot. I had a spare light and he installed it without an extra charge.

When I update my kitchen, I'll probably have to change out my breaker panel and have new outlets run. I might go with them on this new project, however their hourly rate is about $10 bucks higher than some other companies I contacted.

With that being said, I did go with Voltz due to their ratings on Yelp, plus the fact that they actually answered the phone when I called. For resolving a possible fire hazard, I decided the extra $20 bucks was worth it for a highly rated company.

Joe S.

4/25/2015

I'm very impressed with the quality of service and craftsmanship we received from Voltz Electric. Evan and the guys at Voltz did a great job installing 10 z-wave light switches at our home. They were on time, worked until the job was done, walked me through the work at the end, and did an awesome job of cleaning up afterwards (like they were never even here). The price was very reasonable and I was impressed that they knew their way around z-wave switches so well since they're fairly new, even in a 3-way set up which is a bit more complicated. Everything is working and integrated with my ADT Pulse system now and I couldn't be happier. I'll definitely be calling Voltz back for future projects. They were professional, courteous, and knew their stuff. I had called a number of electricians to find one with z-wave knowledge and Voltz definitely delivered! 5 stars all around.

Josie H.

5/14/2014

I had Voltz Electric come out a second time to do work recently. Three years after the first job, and they're just as exceptional as the first time! I will continue to use Voltz for all of my electrical needs.

Michelle C.

6/16/2013

My husband and I purchased our first home and we wanted to make some personal touches. I was unhappy with the light fixtures the previous owners had installed, one of which did not work properly. I wanted a reliable company, so I decided to research electricians on the internet. I really liked the customer testimonials, so after careful consideration we chose Voltz Electric. Their website was user-friendly and scheduling an appointment was incredibly simple. I just entered my contact info in and a representative returned my call within minutes. Talk about fast service!

I decided to schedule an appointment and received a free safety inspection. The electricians arrived on time and were very courteous. I am extremely thankful for the free safety inspection because upon the inspection they found a short in my malfunctioning light fixture. Not only did they save the day, but also I absolutely LOVE my new panels, fans, and light fixtures. Overall, I would have to say Voltz Electric is a dependable company and my experience with them was delightful. I will definitely be using them in the future and will refer them to my colleagues, family, and friends. With Voltz Electric, you positively get what you pay for!

5/22/2011

Can't really comment on their actual work as I had to cancel my work order, but their customer service and response time warranted that I write a little review based on just that - I had a problem with my dryer tripping an old breaker. I called around and every other electrician service quoted me at least a week lead time before a technician could check it out. Matt had someone at my home within 2 hours. The technician was very personable and made mention that my circuit box was an obsolete model known to cause electrical home fires. At first I thought it was an upsell play, but after doing research I found out that the box I had really was the cause of several house fires and had been put out of production in the 1970's. My wife and I were going to pay to replace the box (which we were quoted an average price for parts and labor), however the landlord did not want us to make the improvements ourselves so we had to cancel it - Voltz hassle free refunded us our down payment so quickly we actually had the check in hand the very next day. I regret not being able to have Voltz complete the work, if its anything like their customer service it would have been top-notch.

dropping a star as there were minor problems - none actually electrical - after the work was done. a missed patch job, a forgotten tool, etc.

update: dropping another star.. after they forgot to remove a guide wire on next visit. Should be more attention to detail.

Mendo C.

Great service! On-time and cleaned up everything before leaving. Repaired a pendant light, installed 2 new security lights on both sides of garage door and converted some of my can lights to LED with a dimmer. Mike, who was the tech who came out was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions and concerns to my satisfaction. Will definitely call them again for future jobs.

* problem:
turning on the lights in the bathroom caused the lights in the two adjacent bedrooms to shut off. required us to reset the circuit breaker each time. also meant we showered in the dark :(

so after procrastinating for nearly a month i decided, at 6pm last night, to try to find an electrician. I started here on yelp, read a few reviews, then near my house, I found Voltz Electric. Shot them a quick email asking about my issue and within 5 minutes someone had written back. 2 minutes later they called and setup and appt for the following day.

on the day of, I received a call first thing in the morning from the Electrician at Voltz Electric, he was on his way to my home. The ETA was exactly what was told to me the night before!

When Voltz, Electrician showed up, he kindly removed his shoes (without having to ask) and came in while I described the problem. he quickly went to the troubled light fixture and found there were exposed wires which were causing the short. the fix was easy and was done and tested in no time. the great thing was all along the way he was explaining the problem and asked if there were any other problems in the house while he was there.
* I felt very informed and trustedwith the professionalism that Voltz Electric offered.
* I felt comfortable with the cost and received impeccable service!

Things to noted and what I have learned:
a) if the circuit trips right away it's probably a short
b) don't be cheap call a electrician! It will save you and not risk you home/family

I am very happy with the service provided by Matt. Even though my electrical need was a small one, he treated it with importance and took care of it quickly with no hassles to me. He was very professional and honest, which I've found difficult to find. These guys deserve the business for their knowledge and honesty. I will not hesitate to call them with any future electrical needs.

I was referred to Voltz Electric by a friend a few years ago. Since then Matt and his staff have installed recessed lighting in my kitchen, family room, replaced the electrical box and outlets, added outlets outside for all of my holiday lights and replaced the lights in the hallway. We recently had Voltz install recessed lighting in our livingroom and replace the ceiling fan. Matt is wonderful, he quickly repsonded to our request. While here, they explain everything that they are doing as well as make recommendations. They are professional and quick. I would highly recommend Voltz Electric!!

I can't say enough great things about the Voltz team! They were on-time, reasonably priced (I'm not sure you really want to go with the cheapest electrician), and always took the extra step to make sure our electrical was safe!

Got an appt next day and the outlet that was tripping our breaker was fixed in a jiffy. The electrician they sent out Robert was super nice. Definitely would call them again.

01/01/2014 12:00:00 SA

This review is long overdue, mainly because we've been so busy and didn't have a yelp account at the time. Matt, Ruben, and Ante, replaced our old Zinsco electric panel with a new 200A one (they also elevated the pole where we get electricity to meet city code, and made a new ground). They did an amazing job and we got electricity the same day! To give you some idea why this is worthy to note, for anyeone who doesn't know about the process, you first get a permit from the city (or Voltz Electric can do that for you if you go online and make that option). Once you have a day and time, you then go to PG&E and request that your electricity be disconnected on the day that your panel will be replaced. You then call the city and schedule an appointment for inspecting the final work (i.e. the new electric panel). Matt was experienced and told us that we could get the inspection done the same day as the work if we requested to have a PM (afternoon) inspection. This was good advice because the electricity can only be turned on by PG&E *after* the inspection. Matt, Ruben, and Ante came early and started the work right away. They finished just as the city inspector came, and PG&E was able to reconnect shortly!

When I spoke to Voltz Electric over the phone, I knew they knew what they were doing. When I met Matt (the owner) in person, I felt confident they were going to do a great job, because he was knowledgable/experienced and I felt he would genuinely stand behind their work, and they delivered on that.

If you are looking for a professional, fast acting, and reasonably priced electrician, look no further. Matt was by far the best electrician that I came across, i called him with an urgent situation, he accommodated my schedule and came out the same day! After calling 5 other electricians Matt was a huge relief. The quote he gave me was a little more than I wanted to pay so he quickly came up with a temporary solution that was 1/3 of the original quote. I highly recommend Matt and Voltz great company to do business with.

Needed some work done on our place. A little nervous since we didn't have a reference and relied upon Yelp. Matt's a great guy. His crew was very professional. Did a number of installs - lights, ethernet, fans and stereo runs. Required a lot since there was no crawl space. Definitely will use them again.

Responded to my request on the same day and replaced my malfunctioning recessed lights in about an hour. Definitely recommend.

The Voltz team repaired a breaker I had accidentally destroyed through some inept home repair (mine). The technician was friendly, forthright and courteous with my wife and fixed it the first time. We were very pleased.

I am very impressed with Voltz Electric. In the past several months Ruben has come on 2 different visits to deal with a myriad of issues in my 100+ year old house. From outside garden lighting issues to inside vexing stereo speaker wiring problems to trouble shooting various light/switch problems...Ruben solved all issues. Plus he is personable, clearly an expert, and committed to getting all issues resolved. Will definitely continue to use Voltz for my home electrical challenges.

Thank you Voltz, Karen, and everyone at the Team! We've just had Voltz install lights, fix some dangerous electrical, reroute, wire up some new outlets, and other stuff. HIRE THEM!!!! They constantly cleaned, they were timely, they were professional, and they were nice. I expected 1-2 folks to show up and do the work over 1-2 days. Instead a TEAM of 4-5 very professional gentlemen showed up and knocked out our problems, including a couple of tricky solutions, in just one day. It was like an army of people coming to help us! I highly recommend this company for your electrical needs. Also, their head office and all the team members were excellent at communication - from booking appointments, changing the work in the quote and getting a requote, from what they planned to do, and what surprises they found and how they fixed them.

Called Voltz Electric based on the reviews on Yelp. And I was not disappointed. They did fantastic work, were quick, and reasonably priced. Mike and Ryan were amazingly professional and really nice about explaining the work they were doing and the different options. And Karen who answered all of my phone calls was great too (helped me schedule two visits and reminded me about upcoming visits). Thanks everyone!

In addition to a whole house fan, Votz installed recessed and outdoor lighting for us. Matt and his team were very responsive, professional, on time and did only excellent quality work They made excellent recommendations and really knew what they were doing, as well as doing more than required or expected. Gave us a complete, comprehensive, and accurate bid, with no surprises. Matt is very easy to work with, I would definitely recommend Voltz.

I was nervous about calling an electrician because of old wiring in our house. Volt was amazing, from the woman who answered the phone to the owner and the technician who came to make the repair. Mat came out after I called to make sure we would be safe until the repair could be made. The technician ( Jordan?) showed up on time, very professional and knowledgeable, and the price came in for less than I expected to pay. I could not have had a better experience! The tech was also very nice to our two unruly dogs.

Jordan and Rylan were fabulous. They were early for the appointment so they called ahead to let me know. They were neat, courteous and explained things to me. Wonderful people and I will use Voltz again.

I am a Realtor and this company rewired some outlets and GFIs in a house I was selling. They were couteous, on-time, and did a good job. Later I used them fort a second job, and I had to cancel at the last minute. They were also courteous about that too, when they would have been quite justified to be miffed. So I will use them again.

Voltz rocks! Thank you to Matt and his team for their honesty, integrity and timely responses throughout our electrical situation. A special thank you to James for all he did from start to finish! We look forward to working with Voltz in the future.

Superior customer serie and fast response! We had an emergency as a pipe burst and water shooting directly into our electrical panel, internet and security system as well as outlets in the wall. The electrical panel was still working but everything else shot. I work from home so need internet asap. I called Voltz and they were concerned and responsive. Keisha in the office is efficient and personable and did her best to locate someone the same day. She did and Mike came out and did a great job. We scheduled a time for Voltz to come back out and install a new electrical panel which was a full day job. Each visit they were on time and did a fantastic job. They take the time to communicate and are very patient, efficient and do a fantastic job. I even had a few issues in the house I have been putting off and decided to run a few things by Mike and he too the time to walk through, look at things and advise. Very honest and nice guy. They were thorough and checked everything numerous times to make sure all was good. They cleaned up after themselves and were very cautious and made sure all wiring and cords for other items were tidy and organized. Keisha called a few days after each job to make sure everything was right with us and that was quite impressive. Top notch business. Will not work with any other electrician after our experience with them.
