At Amp Flow Electric Inc. we are focused primarily on the costumer , talking and leaning what kind the problems they encounter and making sure whatever electrical issues they have will be gone when we walk out the door . from solar , new installations to old work , residential or commercial, we are the right professionals for the job with 20 years on the field as electricians.

"Moises and his team essentially rewired my entire 2400 sqft 1850's home, replacing old wiring, adding new outlets, switches, lights, etc. It was a big job. He was great to work with, very professional and reliable. We checked in on progress and the plans for the day almost every day and he was very flexible when we decided to make changes (which happened multiple times). He worked closely with the town inspector to make sure everything was up to code. We were also living in the same space that needed work and he and his team were good about covering things up and minimizing dust as much as possible. I would hire him again if I ever needed anything new added and highly recommend him for any of your electrical needs."

We pride ourselves on the quality work we provide, while delivering great customer service! Call or click for your FREE estimate today or check out our website www.fellowshipplumbing.com

"CAUTION: Read this before you book! YOU'VE BEEN WARNED Installed a new boiler and indirect water tank. TLDR: Constractor offered no warranty, just excuses they were too busy. Cost me thousands to fix his mistake. Story... Any good contractor will do the install, then make sure that everything is running properly, and that you have heated water and everything is working in order with the heating system. right away I could already see that there were red flags and unfortunately I paid heavily for it. First the system wasn't properly purged, the contractor Kyle then blamed me for my wells poor water pressure, when there are ways around poor water pressure. any good contractor would do their homework, and make sure that you purge the system correctly, before leaving, with no corners cut. But that wasn't the case, this led to huge issues later where I was told it could be frozen piping (it wasn't). Further one of the vents was poorly sealed and already broke apart. Again just sloppy sloppy work. I heard another excuse about another review, again blaming the home owner for improper installation of the thermostat. Again poor excuses and laying blame on the owner, with the contractor taking zero responsibility. Laughable to blame a 2 watt drawing Thermostat on poor heating and plumbing installations. So instead of finding what the issue was and say, let us take a look at it, all I got were excuses. More excuses of why he wasn't liable etc. At this point I realized fighting him about this was useless, I clearly am dealing with an unprofessional contractor. Pay the extra money and use someone reputable, don't take a chance on such a big important job for your house."

Subcontracting services FAQs

One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.

Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. 

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: 

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

Yes, most states require HVAC technicians to be certified, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed HVAC technician could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.

Qualified, licensed electricians will charge from $50 to $100 per hour. The cost to hire an electrician for emergency visits may range from $100 to $200 per hour because this urgent service usually takes place during off hours and may require an electrician to leave or reschedule jobs they’re currently working on. Scheduling work on holidays or during periods of high customer demand, like after a major storm, will also lead to higher rates or extra fees.
