Derek Shaw wired Dallas office towers for twelve years before starting Voltwise in 2010 with one truck and a simple rule: explain the problem, give a flat price, do it safely.
Today thirty licensed electricians cover the Metroplex. We added a lighting studio in 2017 and an EV team in 2021 — and we still answer our own emergency line at any hour.
