Our home base
At home in Random Lake.
The village and surrounding farmland are Couillard Electric’s home base. Random Lake took its name after surveyors ran a random line and found the lake in 1835.
Random Lake’s older homes and newer lakefront construction have different electrical needs. Existing 100-amp panels, additional circuits and EV charging are assessed against the work planned for the property.
Random Lake once had three grain warehouses and five icehouses supporting the local trade when the railroad arrived in 1870.
