Houle’s story began in 1944 when Lionel Houle and his father realized their dream of opening an electrical store. 75 years later, from a two-person father and son team, we are now just under 1,000 employees strong. Houle has come a long way from being just an electrical contractor… we have now grown to offer integrated building performance management services. To celebrate this significant milestone, there has been celebrations across all our branches. From speeches to shared stories, laughter to food, many memories of the last 75 years were shared, and our dreams for the next 75.
