Hi, I'm Alonzo Contreras, owner of Voltage Virtues. I'm a Texas born and raised electrician, a husband, and a proud dad to two boys, ages four and fourteen. My wife and I have been together for nearly ten years, and our kids have been raised right here in Midland. Family and community are at the center of everything I do, and that carries directly into how I treat my work and the people I serve.
When I'm not working, you'll usually find me spending time with my boys, whether that's cheering on my four year old at soccer or basketball, or teaching my fourteen year old the electrical trade after he told me he wants to follow in my footsteps. I love being present for those moments and helping them build confidence, work ethic, and pride in what they do.
Our family also enjoys being involved in the Midland community. We love visiting the local farmers market, catching comedy shows at Wagner Noël Performing Arts Center, and heading to Cinergy to watch movies and play games together. Those moments remind me why building strong community relationships matters so much.
Outdoors, I'm happiest just being active with my kids. Whether we're throwing a ball around, going to the park, or simply enjoying time outside together, those simple moments mean everything to me.
My wife and I also enjoy supporting local restaurants. We don't stick to just one favorite spot, we actually enjoy trying new local restaurants whenever one opens. It's something we love doing together, experiencing new foods and supporting local businesses in our city.
I fully committed to Voltage Virtues when I realized I could provide more than I was being allowed to in previous roles. More care. More safety. More pride in the work. I knew I wanted to raise the standard instead of being limited by it. I also saw a real gap in quality and competence within the electrical field locally. That pushed me to step forward, not just to meet demand, but to serve my community with honest work and education.
People deserve to understand their electrical systems and feel confident about who they allow into their homes. Electrical work affects safety, comfort, and peace of mind. That is why Voltage Virtues focuses on clear communication, fair pricing, and work that is completed correctly and up to code. We believe trust is built by showing up, doing what you say you will do, and standing by your work, especially when challenges arise.
One moment that continues to stay with me was helping a family after a tree fell onto their electrical service. They were without power, overwhelmed, and the repair costs were more than they could handle at the time. We worked out a payment plan so they could restore power safely without adding financial stress. Moments like that remind me why this work matters.
My goal is to grow Voltage Virtues into a trusted local company that families feel comfortable calling, while creating long-term stability and opportunity for my children. I also want to help strengthen the electrical trade by teaching others, leading by example, and raising the bar within our community.
If you've ever had to choose a contractor and simply hoped you made the right choice, what mattered most to you in that moment?
