Company History

The business began as a small electrical shop from a backyard shed on 9th Street, started by Al and Jewel Bidstrup. It moved to Whittier and Holmes as demand grew, and a second story was added to the building. Early services included electrical contracting and motor rewinding.

After Al's death, his sons Lyn and Chris focused the company on electrical parts and home service. In 1998 Lyn’s son Bob Bidstrup purchased the business and expanded plumbing and HVAC offerings. That local, multi-generation growth shaped the current mix of services.

Leadership

Current leadership comes from the Bidstrup family. Bob Bidstrup brought plumbing and HVAC into the business while keeping local ties. Staff includes licensed electricians, plumbers, and HVAC techs. The company participates in community events and works with local contractors to support regional needs.
