Before the work
West Bend questions.
Do you serve the West Bend industrial park area?
For homes and commercial buildings there, yes. We do residential and commercial electrical work; we do not take industrial work.
Can you install EV chargers at West Bend HOA / townhouse complexes?
Yes — the trick is sizing and metering. For a single unit we install a Level 2 in the garage; for shared parking, we coordinate with the HOA on metering (some go with shared submeters and a billing app) and pull a single permit for the whole install.
Do you handle generator installs west of the city?
Yes. Out toward Newburg, Boltonville, and Kewaskum, lots are larger and outages are longer. We size the standby for the lot and quote it after seeing the site. Propane is the most common fuel out there, and we coordinate the tank and regulator install with your propane supplier.
Are West Bend permits handled by the city or county?
Inside the city limits, the City of West Bend Building Inspection handles permits. Outside city limits in unincorporated Washington County, the county handles permits. We pull whichever is appropriate for the address — homeowners don't need to figure it out.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Owner Dennis Couillard holds Wisconsin Residential Master Electrician License #1293757, and Couillard Electric LLC holds Electrical Contractor License #1325885. We carry full general-liability and workers' comp insurance. We pull permits and schedule inspections on every job that needs them.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes — every estimate is free. Call (262) 618-2851 or use the Free Estimate form to schedule. For most residential work we can come out within 1–3 business days.
