Lyons Electric

What Lyons Electric does

Lyons Electric is a Wisconsin-based electrical contracting firm founded in 1979 in Delafield, WI, providing commercial, industrial, and petroleum electrical services to clients across healthcare and assisted living, petroleum and convenience stores, industrial and manufacturing, religious and non-profit, and commercial and retail end-markets. The company's core offering is a design/build electrical construction methodology — a single firm performs both design and installation — supplemented by a 24/7 industrial service line that delivers emergency response, thermal scanning, equipment diagnostics, parking-lot lighting maintenance, backup power generation, and machinery wiring. Its wholly-owned Lyons Integrated Systems division extends the design/build approach into low-voltage and data/communications work, including WiFi infrastructure, audio/visual systems, security cameras, fire alarms, access control, sound masking, and data and phone systems.

The business operates on project-based, quote-driven contracts priced through design consultations and budget-based planning, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Go-to-market is sales-led and referral-driven: Lyons engages directly with business owners, general contractors, facilities managers, engineers, and architects — partnering with Wisconsin's leading general contractors and architects on new construction — while supplementing lead flow with a professionally maintained website and online search visibility. The company is a member of ABC of Wisconsin and runs an apprenticeship pipeline (3-5 years) for new trades hires. Lyons Electric is privately held, was acquired by Potawatomi Ventures, a tribal enterprise, in July 2025 as part of an infrastructure and energy services platform strategy, and continues to operate under the Lyons Electric brand from its single Delafield headquarters serving primarily Wisconsin and surrounding Midwestern regions.
