Sound familiar?
Your panel is from 1996 and your car drinks like a brewery.
The average home was wired for a third of what it pulls today. Most electricians swap parts; Volta starts with a load calculation — the arithmetic that says what your house can actually carry — and shows it to you before quoting a cent.
- The load calculation, shown You see the math that sizes your panel, your charger, your future heat pump. No guessing, no "bigger is safer" upsell.
- Permitted, always Every job leaves with a permit number in the contract. Your panel work is on record for the resale inspection, where it pays you back.
- Tidy is a trade skill Circuit-labelled, faceplates flush, no drywall casualties. Our work looks like it grew there.
Electricity forgives nothing and forgets nothing. We wire accordingly.

The work, up close
Assessment
A master electrician walks the house, runs the load calculation, and photographs the panel. You get findings the same day — free with any booked work.
Options, priced flat
Two or three ways forward, each with a fixed price and its permit included. You pick the decade you want to wire for.
One-day install
Most residential jobs done in a day, tested, labelled, inspected, and photographed for your records.
Two other outfits quoted a bigger panel by eyeball. Volta ran the load calc, showed me my 125A was fine WITH the charger, and saved me two grand. Integrity like that gets the neighbourhood.
Panel swap in a day, circuit map labelled like a cockpit, and the photo set went straight to my insurance for the rebate. The inspector said "Volta again" and signed.
Knob-and-tube in a 1928 house, phased over three visits so we could live there. You cannot tell where they fished the walls. The plaster guy asked who did it.

The load-calc guarantee
If a system we sized overloads inside five years, we rebuild it free. The arithmetic is our risk, not your fuse box.
Breaker trips when the kettle and toaster run together — emergency?
Not an emergency, but it is your house telling you a circuit is doing two jobs. A diagnostic visit finds it in an hour; splitting the circuit is usually one more. Burning smell, sparking, or a hot panel face — that is the 24/7 line, right now.
Do you handle the utility and the permit?
Both, plus the inspection. Your job appears in the permit record under our licence — the paper trail that makes resale inspections boring, which is the point of permits.
Which charger should I buy?
The one your load calculation says you can run. We install all major brands hardwired — hardwired beats plug-in for continuous 48A charging — and we file the utility rebate so the cheque comes to you.
Commercial tenant fit — can you keep a GC schedule?
It is half our book. Milestone-driven, crew-sized to the floor plate, and the corridor lighting lands on the day the ceiling closes. References from three GCs on request.
Wire the house for the decade you actually live in.
Free panel assessment with any booked work. A master — not a call centre — replies.
