Three Rivers Food Co-op Inc

What Three Rivers Food Co-op Inc does

Three Rivers Electric LLC is a privately held, locally owned electrical contracting company headquartered at 3020 Congressional Parkway in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The firm delivers five core service lines — residential electrical work (panel upgrades, whole-home rewires, generator installs, surge protection), commercial electrical services (lighting maintenance, service upgrades, breaker replacement), lighting solutions (LED upgrades, landscape, seasonal installations), low voltage systems (structured cabling, A/V, theatrical lighting), and solar installation (roof-mount, ground-mount, ballasted) — to homeowners and small-to-mid commercial businesses across Northeast Indiana and Northwest Ohio. Services are performed by 8 named licensed electricians supported by a President/Owner with a PhD, an Executive Vice President, and a Director of Operations who is also a journeyman electrician; the team claims over 125 years of combined experience.

The business operates a quote-based, project-driven model with revenue generated primarily through one-time installation, repair, and maintenance fees. Customer acquisition combines a Wix-hosted website with online booking, phone-based direct sales (260-908-8700), Facebook and Instagram presence, and referrals from industry association memberships (Greater Fort Wayne Inc, Associated Builders). To remove affordability friction on larger projects, the company integrates three third-party financing partners — Wisetack and Synchrony Home for general projects, plus the Indiana Energy Independence Fund's Smart-E residential clean energy loan program for solar work — for which it holds approved contractor status. Distribution is purely regional on-site service delivery; there is no software product, no app, no API, and no recurring subscription component to the revenue mix. Ownership rests with founder Nate Cardelli, with no indication of outside equity, parent company, or institutional backing in the available data.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Sunrun: Largest dedicated residential solar installer in the U.S. with nationwide operations including Indiana. Competes for the same residential and small-commercial solar customer, with embedded financing and lease/PPA structures that local installers must compete against.
• ADT: National security and low-voltage systems provider with adjacent offerings in structured cabling, monitoring, and connected home systems. Represents a broad incumbent in the low-voltage category that overlaps with Three Rivers' telecom and A/V lines.
• Comfort Systems USA: National mechanical and electrical contractor serving commercial and industrial customers. Represents a scaled incumbent in commercial electrical contracting with broader geographic reach — a long-term competitive ceiling for regional multi-service contractors like Three Rivers.
• Tesla Energy / Tesla Solar: Broad incumbent in residential and commercial solar with national scale and vertically integrated panel/inverter offerings. Competes with Three Rivers' solar installation line through aggressive direct-to-consumer sales and pricing power.

Regional players

• Bone Dry Roofing: Indianapolis-headquartered multi-trade home services contractor serving Indiana and surrounding states. Comparable as a regional Midwest home services brand combining multiple trade capabilities with strong local brand recognition — a parallel go-to-market model.

Emerging players

• Helios Solar: Regional residential and commercial solar installer operating across the Midwest. Comparable as a focused, mid-size solar specialist that competes for the same Indiana-area projects while offering similar turnkey design/install services.
• Ion Solar: Multi-state residential solar installer with regional Midwest operations. Comparable for its solar-only focus, in-house financing partnerships, and overlap with Three Rivers on residential rooftop and ground-mount installation.

Direct peers

• Mister Sparky Electric: National electrical service franchise with locations in Fort Wayne and across Indiana. Offers near-identical residential and commercial electrical services including panel upgrades, rewires, generator installation, and lighting — directly competing for the same local customer base.
• Accent Electrical Services: Midwest-based commercial and industrial electrical contractor providing installation, maintenance, and low-voltage services. Comparable for its similar mix of commercial electrical, lighting, and structured cabling offerings targeting business customers.
• Mr. Electric: Neighborly-branded national electrical service franchise operating in Northeast Indiana and Northwest Ohio. Competes head-to-head with residential and commercial electrical, lighting, and generator installation work, with similar quote-based pricing.
