Commercial Electrical Contractors in Wisconsin.
Licensed master electricians and in-house crews delivering electrical construction from preconstruction to closeout, since 1993.
WIL-Surge Electric is a commercial electrical contractor based in Butler, serving general contractors, owners, and facility teams across Wisconsin since 1993. Our licensed master electricians lead in-house crews working out of our own fleet, so one accountable team carries your electrical scope from preconstruction to closeout.
We hold Wisconsin electrical contractor license #1103087-EC. Electrical is one part of what we self-perform; see all 17 trades for the mechanical and civil scopes we deliver alongside it.
Full-Scope Electrical Construction
From preconstruction planning through final closeout, our construction electrical crews handle the full scope: temporary power, rough-in, feeders, and device trim-out. That work is delivered by in-house crews, so the people who plan your job are the people who build it, which keeps schedules tight and quality ours to own.
The same crews take on demanding environments like healthcare, installing code-compliant systems, from exam room circuits to essential power systems, with the redundancy patient care requires. Current work includes the 151,000 ft² Waukesha County Courthouse renovation, underway while the building stays occupied.
Design-Build, Preconstruction & BIM
Good electrical work starts before the first conduit is set. We offer preconstruction support, budgeting, and design-build expertise, backed by CAD and 3D BIM modeling that brings design-build projects to life from creation to analysis.
Our in-house BIM specialists model the electrical scope in 3D to catch clashes before they cost you change orders. For owners, that means pricing you can plan around; for general contractors, it means an electrical partner who has already worked out coordination on screen instead of in the field. See how it works on our design-build, preconstruction & BIM page.
Power Distribution & High Voltage
Our power distribution crews install and coordinate the switchgear, switchboards, and distribution equipment that form the backbone of commercial and industrial facilities across Wisconsin, with procurement, testing, and commissioning to make sure your system delivers the power you need. See our power distribution services.
For larger loads, we design-build and maintain high voltage systems, including substations, transformers, medium-voltage distribution, and utility coordination, for facilities that cannot afford downtime. The 310,000+ ft² West Allis DPW campus shows that work at scale, from main service and distribution to site infrastructure. See our high voltage systems.
Getting that power across a site often means running it underground. Our crews handle trenching, directional boring, and concrete-encased duct banks for feeders and services. See our underground utility services.
Low Voltage & Technology Systems
Modern buildings run on low voltage. Our crews install security, fire alarm, access control, and building automation systems, along with the controls and instrumentation that keep facilities running and code-compliant. We design, install, test, and certify voice and data cabling, fiber backbones, telecom systems, and Wi-Fi for healthcare, education, and corporate facilities. See our low voltage systems and network & data cabling.
Our AV work, integrated sound, scoreboards, and video for auditoriums, training centers, and public assembly spaces, ties into your electrical and low voltage infrastructure from day one, so nothing gets bolted on at the end. See our AV systems.
Lighting & Sports Lighting
We design-build and install efficient interior, exterior, and site lighting for commercial, industrial, sports, and municipal properties, including LED retrofits and lighting controls that cut energy costs. See our commercial lighting services.
Sports lighting is a specialty. We install and upgrade lighting for athletic complexes, stadiums, and aquatic facilities, engineered for spill-light control and broadcast-quality output, and we handle durable pole installation and maintenance for fields, lots, and roadways. At Milwaukee Yard, a 100,000+ ft² indoor sports complex in Oak Creek, that meant high-efficiency sports lighting for turf fields and courts. See our sports lighting contractors.
Arc Flash Studies & Electrical Safety
Electrical safety protects your people and your compliance posture. We perform NFPA 70E arc flash studies, hazard analysis, equipment labeling, and mitigation planning, so the people who work on your electrical systems know the hazards at each piece of equipment. A study can cover an existing facility or be part of a new build, and our licensed master electricians bring years of field experience to finding practical ways to reduce that risk. See our arc flash studies and NFPA 70E compliance page.
Service & Maintenance
Our work doesn't end at closeout. Facility owners and managers can call us for electrical repairs and maintenance on existing systems, including systems we didn't install. We maintain high voltage equipment, lighting poles, and the distribution systems commercial and industrial buildings depend on, using the same in-house crews and our own fleet. Service requests are handled during office hours (Mon–Fri, 7am–4pm); call (262) 781-9210 to reach our team, or see our commercial electrical service and maintenance page.
Projects & Markets
Our electrical work spans government, healthcare, education, sports, and municipal facilities. Recent Wisconsin projects include complete electrical systems for Milwaukee County's four-story Coggs Health & Human Services Center, power and lighting for the 53,000 ft² Racine Unified Aquatic Facility, and comprehensive electrical for the City of Pewaukee's new DPW garage.
