James Votaw began performing residential electrical installations in 1968 with a used truck, a small office in his garage and part-time help from his wife, Peggy, and three sons: Dan, Mike and Tom.
Jim Votaw purchased the first shop on Stellhorn Road.
Emphasis on controls and power quality was added to provide specialized services in response to customer requirements. These services include custom control systems, PLC programming, power monitoring; disturbance analysis. Votaw Electric has kept pace with converging technology.
As Votaw Electric grows, more space is needed for materials and employees.
With adding Telecommunications to our services, a conscious decision was made to view electrical contracting, controls, power quality and telecommunications as integrated solutions rather than divisions of the company.
Votaw Electric practices and is continually looking for ways to improve our service to our diversified customer base.
In 2010, Votaw becomes 40% ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan). They begin the process toward 100% employee owned.
