Henry Lipscomb founded this company in 1922 on Lemon Street before relocating to Tennessee Avenue. During the late 1940s, he built two quonset huts on Ingraham Avenue, and by the early 1950s, he erected a concrete block building at 230 N. Ingraham, moving the electric company adjacent to the huts.
In 1960, E. Harold Wilson, who began his career at Lipscomb Electric at 16, acquired the company and rebranded it as 'Wilson Electric Company.' Currently, the company is owned by Dianne, Mr. Wilson's daughter, and is managed by her alongside partners Thomas Kassler and Rusty Tucker.

Recommended Customer Reviews

Julian was at my house last week installing new fans, he did a fantastic job. He cleaned up after himself, there was no evidence of his even being in my house. Professional company, excellent prices, and outstanding employees. And they also offer HVAC services.

Great company, highly qualified electricians.
Would definitely recommend!

Lights stopped working on one side of the house and called these guys the next day. They were able to come out that day and within 20mins they took care of it. Was some loose wires and was fixed. Jim was the electrician and was very professional and curious. Will use them for any future services.

Fantastic service. We were changing out one of our ceiling fans and discovered the prior owners had done a shoddy DIY job on the electrical. We kept the power off to that room and started searching for an electrician. Had another referral from a friend but they couldn't help for 3 weeks! Called Wilson Electric and they were able to squeeze us in today. Julian called before arriving, fixed our issue and even installed the new fan for us. He was very courteous and professional and really did a great job. Our new fan looks fantastic and no longer shakes like the old one (probably because Julian actually anchored it) but best of all it's no longer a fire hazard! Will call them again to work on other things soon. Highly recommend Wilson Electric!

I sent Wilson Electric an online request for service because of an issue with a circuit breaker. They tried to call me in the morning to make sure that I didn't take time off of work due to scheduling, however, I already did. In speaking with them, I explained the problem. I was told they would get someone out to my home but it wouldn't be until the evening. No problem. Prior to noon, Josh calls me and says that he will be in my area and he will look at my issue. He was extremely professional, friendly and knowledgeable not to mention got the job done. This is the third time doing work for me and this is the third time that I am pleased with them! I have always been pleased with Wilson Electric and find them to be a reputable company.

Josh came out to fix two breakers that had to be replaced. He was on time and he is very friendly, knowledgeable, and kind. Also it only took him 15 minutes to get the job done. Thank you Josh. I will recommend Wilson Electric to all my family and friends.

I called and made an appointment with no issues!! He called before coming over!! The guy knew just what to look for when I told him what issues we were having. Awesome customer service. This level of professionalism is a dying breed but they were great to us. I don't recommend many places but this company I will.

Wilson sent out Ben and Jason to work on an emergency repair. When the problem was more grave than initially suspected, they stayed until it was fixed, many hours after closing. Their tenacity, thoroughness, and kindness will not be forgotten, and I will not hesitate to recommend Wilson Electric to anyone needing work in Polk County.

I called this company and asked what their hourly rate was. I was told $80 per hour from when the service tech arrived and left. I asked if this included any traveling fees or charges and they specifically said there was none. The service tech arrived and fixed the issue within 10 minutes I then asked him to address another issue and he seemed upset like I was waisting his time. He lolly gagged around the house just waisting time and never addressed the issue and spent another 20 minutes in his truck doing paperwork. I was charged 1hour and a half including the time he drove from his prior job (30 minute drive). I would not use this company again nor recommend them.

They were very prompt in responding. They brought all the equipment they needed to do the job right the first time.
