Hiller Electric

What Hiller Electric does

Hiller Electric Co. is a privately held, second-generation, family-owned electrical contracting firm founded in 1964 and headquartered at 5404 Dayton Street, Omaha, Nebraska. The company provides electrical installation, maintenance, and repair services across four use-case segments: commercial (new construction, tenant buildouts, LED lighting, 15KV installations, EMCS wiring, generators, UPS); industrial (PLC wiring, automation control, agricultural and process plant work); low-voltage (voice/data networks, fiber optics, IP surveillance, fire alarm, security, card access, building automation); and residential (service upgrades, generators, home theater, landscape lighting). Service is delivered by licensed Master and Journeyman electricians, with most journeyman electricians having 10+ years of tenure, supported by 24/7 emergency response capability and a consistent team-assignment model.

The company's technology stack is conventional for the trade — there is no proprietary software platform, no AI/ML capability, and no patent portfolio. Hiller's core technology is its skilled workforce and its IBEW-NECA Electrical Training Alliance apprenticeship pipeline, which produces and retains journeyman electricians with deep tenure (one journeyman celebrated 36 years in 2020). The company maintains relationships with technology vendors Commscope and Panduit for low-voltage network infrastructure installs, and holds industry memberships with NECA, IBEW, NIEC, and the Better Business Bureau.

Hiller Electric runs a sales-led, project-based business model with quote-based pricing and free estimates. Revenue is generated through two streams: project-based electrical installation work (new construction, tenant buildouts, upgrades) and ongoing maintenance, repair, and 24/7 emergency service. The company is led by President Nate Hiller (17 years industry experience, licensed contractor in Nebraska), Vice President Dan Richardson (30 years, NICET Level IV fire alarm certification), and Treasurer John Hiller (45 years, 13-year Nebraska State Electrical Board member). Geographic reach is concentrated in the Omaha metro and southwestern Iowa, with capability to serve other locations as required by clients. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
