 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I woke up Saturday morning to a burning smell from the electrical panel, being it was Saturday I had to call multiple companies. Dennis was at my house within 20 minutes and didn’t hesitate to spend his whole Saturday replacing my panel. Will definitely be recommending him and his company to anyone I know as well as continue to use him for future work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I called Denis out for an outlet issue. He scheduled me for a follow up on that as well as an evaluation for my ancient panels. The outlets were replaced and I was quoted for a panel swap. We booked the swap with some other work and the pricing is competitive. He responds timely and shows up as scheduled.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Vortex came out to install our EV charger, and they were great. Really kind people, easy to talk to, and it was obvious they knew what they were doing. They had the charger installed in less than 30 minutes, and the price was great too. Very happy with the experience!

Had a great experience with Dennis and Vortex Electric today. My 5 year old dryer suddenly stopped working causing the breaker to trip every time it was turned on. I called Vortex Electric and the owner Dennis was in the area and came over. He tested the breaker and the wiring and they were  fine. So we now knew the problem was with the dryer. Dennis said he'd take a look at the dryer. He took the wire cover off the back of the dryer and found a loose wire problem and fixed the dryer in 5 minutes. Problem solved. He did not have to check the wiring in the dryer. I was really impressed that he was kind enough to see if he could fix the dryer (and he did). Dennis was professional, knowledgeable, easy to talk to and the price was very reasonable. Call him, you'll be glad you did. Linda R.
