About Us
Volta Electric has been serving Nashville homeowners and businesses since 2009. Master Electrician Matt Volta founded the company after seeing too many contractors oversell work that customers didn't need.
Our Story
Matt Volta spent a decade as a journeyman at a regional electrical contractor before getting his master license in 2008. He started Volta Electric the following year with a single rule: never recommend work you wouldn’t do in your own home.
That rule has held for seventeen years. Every estimate we provide is itemized and explained. Every permit is pulled. Every job is inspected. If your panel is fine, we’ll tell you. If it’s not, we’ll show you exactly why.
We’re based at 1847 Gallatin Pike N, Nashville, TN 37206 - East Nashville. We work across the metro, but we’re not a franchise and we don’t subcontract.
Credentials
Matt holds a current Tennessee Master Electrician license - the credential the state requires for permitted work. The licence number goes on every written estimate we send.
We carry general liability and workers' compensation coverage. Ask and we'll email the certificates before you book - you should never take a contractor's word for this.
Every project that requires a permit gets one - no exceptions. We pull the permit, schedule inspection, and handle utility coordination.
