Terms of use

VoltGuide is a **free service that helps homeowners understand electrical jobs and get matched with licensed, insured, bonded electricians**. We do not perform electrical work, give professional advice, or make hiring decisions for you.

What VoltGuide is

VoltGuide is an information and matching service for homeowners in the United States. We help you learn about common electrical jobs, typical price ranges, and how to hire carefully. If you ask, we may connect you with participating electricians in your area.

We are not an electrician, electrical contractor, inspector, engineer, or law firm. We do not perform, design, permit, supervise, or inspect electrical work. We do not promise that any project is right for your home, or that any electrician is the best fit for your job.

Our service is free to homeowners. If you want help finding a pro, you can get matched and then compare your options yourself.

What you can and cannot rely on

The information on this site is general educational content. It is meant to help you ask better questions and avoid common mistakes when hiring. It is not professional electrical, construction, safety, legal, insurance, or financial advice.

Electrical work can be dangerous and is regulated. Do not use this site as a reason to do electrical work yourself. Hire a licensed electrician and follow local permit and code rules. You can read more in our electrical safety basics and electrical permits explained guides.

Cost examples on VoltGuide are typical ranges and estimates only. They are not quotes, bids, or guarantees. Real price depends on the panel, the wiring, the scope, the materials, permits, and the area.

How matching works

When you submit a request, you give us basic project and contact details so we can try to connect you with participating electricians.

  1. You tell us about the job.
  2. We may share your request with one or more participating electricians.
  3. They may contact you about your project.
  4. You compare quotes, you choose who to hire, and you hold the final payment.

We try to connect homeowners with electricians who say they are licensed, insured, and bonded for the work they offer. But you must verify the license yourself before hiring anyone. Start with our how to check an electrician license guide.

VoltGuide does not control scheduling, workmanship, permits, inspections, warranties, change orders, or final charges.

Your responsibilities as a user

Please use the site honestly and carefully.

  • Give accurate job and contact information.
  • Do not submit someone else’s personal information without permission.
  • Verify the electrician’s license, insurance, and bond yourself.
  • Get the price and scope in writing before any deposit.
  • Follow local permits and code requirements.
  • Use normal caution before allowing anyone into your home.

For urgent danger, stop using the circuit and call a licensed electrician now. If there is smoke or fire, call 911. For non-urgent help with dangerous symptoms, see our emergency electrical page.

Limits, availability, and changes

We cannot guarantee that a match will be available in every area, for every language, or for every type of job. We also cannot guarantee response times, appointment times, pricing, or project outcomes.

We may update site content, service areas, or these terms from time to time. We may also limit or stop use of the site if we believe it is being misused, used unlawfully, or used in a way that could harm homeowners, electricians, or VoltGuide.

If you use VoltGuide, you agree to use it for lawful purposes and to make your own hiring decision based on your own review of the electrician and the written terms of the job.

In plain English

Use VoltGuide to learn the basics and get matched with electricians for free, but make your own decision. Hire only licensed, insured, bonded electricians, verify the license yourself, get the scope and price in writing, and do not treat this site as professional advice or a substitute for safe, permitted electrical work.

Common questions

Does VoltGuide guarantee the electrician’s work or price?
No. VoltGuide is a free matching service, not the company doing the work. We do not guarantee workmanship, timing, permits, inspections, or final cost. Prices shown on our site are typical ranges and estimates only. Always verify the electrician’s license yourself, and get the full scope and price in writing before any deposit.
Does using VoltGuide mean I have hired someone?
No. Sending a request only asks to be connected with participating electricians. You are not required to hire anyone. You can compare quotes, ask questions, and choose the electrician you want, or choose no one at all.
What information should I submit, and what should I never submit?
Submit only basic job and contact details, such as your name, phone, email, ZIP code, and a short description of the electrical problem or project. Do not send bank account numbers, credit card numbers, Social Security numbers, or other sensitive records through a matching request.
