What North/Western Electrical does

North/Western Electrical Corporation of Colorado is a family-owned electrical and communications contracting firm headquartered in Northglenn, Colorado. Founded in 1983 by Enrique "Henry" Vera after completing the IBEW apprenticeship, the company has operated continuously for over 40 years and is now led in its second generation by Eric Vera (VP of Field Operations) and Jeff Vera (VP of Internal Operations). The firm delivers electrical power distribution installation, backup generator and UPS systems, transient voltage and surge suppression, transit electrical systems (traffic monitoring, fiber optic, surveillance, digital signage), low voltage and special systems (fiber optic, fire alarm, CCTV, card access, audio/visual), and green electrical services (solar, EV charging, battery storage, energy audits). Services also include 24-hour emergency dispatch, preventative maintenance with thermal imaging, and LED retrofit with utility rebate processing.

The company generates revenue through project-based contracts and recurring service/maintenance engagements, with pricing custom-quoted per project and billed under multi-year terms. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting large infrastructure clients (Denver International Airport, RTD, Empower Field at Mile High) and commercial accounts, complemented by phone/quote-request intake for residential and SMB work, and 24/7 emergency dispatch. Service territory spans the Denver Metro area and Colorado Front Range including Fort Collins, Colorado Springs, Greeley, Pueblo, and mountain communities. The firm holds Colorado DBE, Denver MWBE/SBE, and RTD SBE certifications, and maintains memberships in IBEW, NECA (Rocky Mountain Chapter), and HCC.

Customer segments span residential, commercial buildings, industrial facilities, government and transit, educational institutions, and green energy projects, with named clients across aviation, transit, sports/stadium, automotive, healthcare, and education verticals. The firm operates with an estimated 51-100 employees under a leadership team of approximately 11 named individuals including directors of construction, service, and accounting, plus general foremen and a service manager. No external funding, parent company, or M&A activity is disclosed; the business is privately held by the Vera family.
