Product Description

LOCAL ELECTRICAL LEADER, COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL, RESIDENTIAL

Founded in 1962 by Olin Woolace, Woolace Electric Corp. Electric initially served as a local electrical supply outlet catering to the needs of residents and farmers. Olin’s resourcefulness shone through as he would purchase scrap wire from Essex Wire in Stryker, Ohio, diligently recoiling and reselling it for DIY projects. The venture took an exciting turn when Olin’s son, William “Butch” Woolace, lent his expertise as a troubleshooting resource and helped wire various projects, all while juggling his role as a local radio DJ.

In 1970, as fate would have it, the Woolace family embarked on building their new home. The carpenters from Oaklorb Homes, impressed by their electrical prowess, revealed the scarcity of skilled electricians in the area, offering a golden opportunity for expansion. Eager to seize the moment, Olin and Butch embraced the challenge, augmenting their operation and even bringing additional assistance on board. Olin focused on sales and overall management, while Butch took charge of wiring new homes, grain bins, and other contracted projects, steadily propelling Woolace Electric towards further success.

Since its establishment in 1962, Woolace Electric has steadily risen to become a renowned electrical contractor in the region, earning a trusted reputation for excellence. Over the years, we have remained dedicated to proudly serving our local community and have become an integral part of its growth and development.
