Shocking service with a smile, wired for comfort

About

Our Story Begins at Home

When you live and work in a place as close knit as Muskegon, your reputation becomes part of the story you build each day. For us, that story started simply, with a belief that a local company could serve neighbors with genuine care, steady workmanship, and a level of honesty that feels more like a conversation at the kitchen table than a sales pitch. From that belief, Amp Electric Heating and Air was born in 2009, and it has shaped our approach ever since.

A Foundation Built on Hands On Experience

Long before Amp had a name, Joe Cutshall was already walking the path that would eventually define our company. He stepped into the electrical trade right out of high school, drawn to the kind of work where skill, responsibility, and trust all matter. Over the years, he logged tens of thousands of hours in homes across West Michigan, learning not just the technical side of the job, but the personal side too. He discovered that families rely on electricians during stressful moments, whether it is a tripped breaker shutting down a family gathering or an aging system creating safety concerns. Those experiences taught him to show up prepared, patient, and focused on doing things the right way, even when no one else is looking.

A Heart for People and Clear Communication

Katie’s background took a different route, though the heart behind her work aligned perfectly with Joe’s. She spent her early career teaching middle school math and Spanish, a role that demanded patience, organization, and clear communication. Those same strengths became invaluable when she joined Amp full time in 2016. Katie now oversees both the front office and the behind the scenes operations that keep each day running smoothly. She is the person who makes sure customers feel heard, schedules stay steady, and the entire team has what they need to serve families well. Together, Joe and Katie bring a balance of vision and steady planning that keeps Amp grounded in its values.

Growing with Intention, Not Speed

Amp began as a residential and light commercial electrical company, and for several years that was our sole focus. Joe always had a long term vision of adding heating and cooling services, not to expand for expansion’s sake, but to give homeowners a single trusted team they could rely on for the systems that matter most. When your furnace stops on the coldest night or your air conditioner quits during a heatwave, you want to call someone who already knows your home and respects your time. Bringing electrical and HVAC services together allowed us to serve our community more completely and more consistently.

Our growth has been steady and careful. We choose each team member thoughtfully. We train methodically, plan intentionally, and never rush the process of building lasting skill. We believe that great service takes time to grow, and we would rather do it right than do it fast. That is part of the reason families across Muskegon, Kent, and Ottawa counties trust us with their homes year after year.

A Family Centered, Community Rooted Company

Joe and Katie have built their life and business here in West Michigan. They are raising three daughters, spending summer days swimming and biking, and camping whenever they get the chance. Those family moments shape how they think about the work we do. Every service call is a chance to help someone else feel safe, comfortable, and at ease in their home. Every repair, installation, or inspection is done with the mindset that we are caring for a family, not just a project.

Because we are locally owned, we understand what it means to take responsibility for our work and our reputation. When we say we believe in integrity, we mean it. When we say we avoid high pressure sales, we mean that too. Our job is to educate, guide, and give homeowners honest options, not push them toward choices that do not fit their needs. Trust is something we earn one visit at a time.

A Team That Shares Our Values

Amp is led by people who take pride in careful workmanship and steady improvement. Joe brings the vision, setting goals and creating opportunities to serve customers better. Katie brings the structure, making sure the team has a solid foundation to deliver on every promise. Together, they have built a company culture centered on empathy, problem solving, and treating people with respect and fairness.

Every technician who joins our team goes through a thoughtful process to make sure they share those same values. Skill matters, but character and integrity matter even more. We want homeowners to feel comfortable opening their doors to us, knowing that the person who walks in will treat their home with the same care they would give their own.

Why We Do What We Do

At the heart of it, Amp Electric Heating and Air exists because we believe homeowners deserve a local team that shows up with honesty and craftsmanship. When your electrical system needs attention or your HVAC system is acting up, you want someone who will explain things clearly, offer real options, and take the worry off your shoulders. That is what we aim to do every day.

We are grateful for the families who trust us, for the community that supports us, and for the chance to keep growing in a way that honors the place we call home. Our story is still being written, and we look forward to serving West Michigan for many years to come.
