Four Electricians.
One Truck Each.
We started the studio after fifteen years of franchise and union work because we wanted to do fewer jobs better. We still do. The same master electrician who quotes your work is the one in the truck when it happens.

Our Story
Built On Honest Work, Not Marketing.
Marcus Sterling pulled his master license in 2008 and spent three more years at a franchise running ten trucks before deciding the model wasn't compatible with the kind of work he wanted to be responsible for at the end of a day.
VoltSync started in a two-bay garage off Springdale in 2011 with a single van, a portable bender, and one rule: the person who scopes the work has to be the one in the truck when it happens. Fifteen years later that's still how the studio runs.
We've done about 410 projects to date. A few of them are publishable — most live on the hard drive out of respect for the homeowners. We turn down roughly half of incoming inquiries because we're booked, and being honest is better than running thin.
People Who'll Actually Be On Your Job.
No sales rep, no dispatcher between you and the electrician. The same person walks the site, writes the scope, runs the install, and meets the inspector.

★★★★★
Twelve years and twenty-something projects together. They show up on day one with drawings, leave on the last day with a labeled directory, and pick up the phone when something breaks two years later.

Their panel install is the cleanest piece of trade work I've ever shown a client. Labels on every breaker. Photos in a PDF. Pulled the permits without being asked.

VoltSync re-wired our entire 1923 bungalow without taking down a single piece of original trim that wasn't already coming off. Period-appropriate plates. Five-year warranty in writing.
