E.E. Electric, Inc. was founded in 1976 by Henry Escajeda, who entered the electrical contracting world with a simple vision: to provide reliable electrical services amid the challenges of a tough job market. Starting with just a pickup truck and a tool belt, the company initially focused on residential electrical repairs and custom home subcontracting. As the business grew, it expanded into commercial and light industrial projects, establishing a key contract with The Little Folks Shop, a prominent children's clothing retailer in Southern California.
In the early 1980s, E.E. Electric successfully secured a large streetlight conversion project with Southern California Edison, marking a significant turning point for the company. This accomplishment allowed E.E. Electric to expand further into high voltage power line construction, where it has since gained a strong reputation. The company serves major utilities including Southern California Edison, Los Angeles Department of Water & Power, and several local municipalities.
Over the past 25 years, E.E. Electric has evolved from a small operation into a well-established entity with annual sales nearing three million dollars. The company currently employs up to forty skilled electrical workers at peak times. It has worked on various projects for military bases and electrical utilities, contributing to significant infrastructure development across California and Nevada.
As a California resident, minority-owned business, E.E. Electric is also certified under the 8(A) program and recognized by various minority business enterprises. The principles of the business adopt a hands-on approach to management, ensuring that decision-making remains close to the company's operational core.
With its main office located in Fontana, California, E.E. Electric, Inc. continues to build on its legacy of reliability and quality in electrical contracting, striving to meet the evolving demands of its clients while maintaining its family-owned values.
