 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Vortex electric is wonderful. Dennis did an amazing job! He stopped my problem of the breakers tripping for what seemed like no reason. Instead of a whole rewire of my place he was able to put in two dedicated circuits. Solved my problem and was very reasonable in price. He has a kind heart and loves to help people. I highly recommend them.

From the moment he arrived, it was clear he was highly knowledgeable and professional. He quickly identified the issues I was having with our new home and wasted no time in explaining the problems and how he planned to address them.

He didn't just fix the immediate problems, but also checked for other potential issues to ensure everything was functioning properly. He completed all the repairs quickly without cutting corners.

I highly recommend vortex electric for anyone needing reliable, efficient, and top-quality electrical work. Great experience all around!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dennis, our Vortex electrician, arrived promptly, worked hard all day, and was professional the entire time. He installed two fans with lights and two pendant lights in the kitchen. They work beautifully, and they look wonderful. He was careful to hear our ideas and worked with us on every step. I have already recommended him to a friend and will repeat this recommendation.
