"Electricians With A Mission."
What We're Amped On
Electrical & Data Design, Service & Install
We connect you with licensed electricians with the ability to complete any project you need.
Your friendly neighborhood electricians (with a mission) are just a click or phone call away.
Upcycling E-Waste
The growing threat of overwhelming pollution comes from technological planned obsolescence. At AMPS, we allocate a percentage of profit to absorbing E-waste for refurbishing, with the ultimate goal of providing low-cost, durable Linux machines to those who need them.
FOSSH
We are educating and creating collectives to build a resilient, people-centered technological future. Free and Open Source Software & Hardware (FOSSH) is a philosophy that ensures access to freely share, edit and audit tools outside of the profit motive. Here's a good book.
The Vibe
Products & Peeps We Rep
Open Monitoring
Open Energy Monitor, OpenEVSE and other FOSSH tech initiatives are at the heart of a free and new grid. We're trying to get them vendors in the US.
Home Assistant
Home Assistant is a pretty cool environment. Maybe join in on the fun? Our products all seamlessly integrate with it.
SPAN
SPAN is the name of the game in smart panels. They also open source their software to protect against degradation lest their company go under. Pretty cool. We're working on becoming official techs.
Framework
Framework is the coolest hardware in the space right now. Fully customizable and modular with a mission of sustainability, we support them with an enthusiasm only AMPS can muster.
System76
System76 is an OG in the open source hardware and software movement. Try out their flagship OS and DE for any of your computers. Then check out their hardware. We support them!
