Laswell Electric Company Inc. (LEC)

LEC History & Philosophy

In March 1995, Steve Laswell, with no more than a small pickup truck and a toolbox, struck out on his own and started Laswell Electric Company, Inc. Since the very first job, quality and personal pride have always been our primary concerns. From the beginning of LEC, our philosophy was to be the very best electrical contractor for our customers. Because of that philosophy, our company quickly grew from a single electrician and a single truck working out of Steve’s home in Shepherdsville, KY, to a small office and shop in Louisville, KY. As we continued to grow, we moved to a few new locations; Brooks, KY, Main Street Louisville, KY, and now Fern Valley Road, Louisville, KY – with a larger facility in a more convenient location that is better to serve you. We have earned the trust and confidence of countless customers, which has resulted in long lasting relationships that are still strong today. The relationships with our satisfied customers and their referrals have been the keys to our success.

As we continue to grow, we are better able to serve all our customers’ needs. We like to think of ourselves as a one stop shop for all your electrical needs. From home to business, large or small, we do it all.

At LEC, we are building a sustainable company. We are in this for the long-term, and we place our mission and values at the center of everything we do.

Our core values are not just words on a page or merely spoken, we live by them.

Mission

Our Mission is to operate a profitable and sustainable electrical contracting company with fortitude and integrity. Since our business is referral based, we don’t rely on advertising to get new customers; we rely on existing customers to get new customers. So not only do we want to do a great job for our customers, our success is dependent upon it. All LEC we strive not only to gain a customer today, but to earn a customer for life.
