You may not have heard of them, but you definitely see and experience their work each time you flip a switch, use an appliance or warm up or cool down with air or heat.
The professional team of Chapple Electric in Fenton Township is behind some of mid-Michigan’s largest projects, as well as everyday electrical use in area homes and businesses.
Chapple Electric’s professional expertise is seen in Linden’s business district, following their streetscape project last year. They have also worked for a number of other municipalities, including Fenton and Holly. Offering decorative lighting, outdoor lighting, induction lighting, lamp ballasts repairs, retrofitting and complete electrical installs, they’re well equipped with boom trucks and equipment to handle any size of electrical job.
“We also do switches, plugs, lights, etc. for residential work,” said Kyle Chapple, operations manager and son of the company founder, Charlie Chapple. “We wear many different hats.”
Chapple Electric is also proud to be an authorized Generac dealer, installing generators from small residential units up to huge 100-kilowatt units for large commercial and industrial applications.
“We have a large service area, as far west as Kalamazoo, south to metro Detroit and north up to Bay City,” said Kyle.
Charlie Chapple founded the company in 1978 while working at Grand Blanc Stamping Grounds as an electrician, doing work “on the side.”
Since that time, Chapple Electric has grown into a full-service electrical company, performing residential, commercial and industrial services. They employ 15 people, including Kyle and his wife, Alisa, Sales Manager Joe Clark and a team of master electricians and apprentices.
“Since Kyle came on board 15 years ago, he’s done an outstanding job of growing the business and managing our team,” said Charlie.
Upgrading electrical and lighting systems to the newest technology is now a part of Chapple Electric’s daily work. “Our job is to help usher everyone into the new era of lighting with energy-efficient LEDs,” said Kyle. “We’re all about customer service.”
