A Family Legacy in Electrical Work

The company's story is one of deep-rooted tradition. Scott Kiel started his own business in 2008, but his electrical journey began in childhood. He grew up in a family of electricians—his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather all ran their own electrical businesses.

By age seven, he was on job sites helping out. By 13, he was handling his own small jobs. At 16, he had his own work truck. He still remembers the pride of wiring his first house and having it pass inspection perfectly. Running his own company was a natural step, continuing a family legacy that spans generations.
