Our Mission We will enhance the quality of life for the people & communities we serve
Our story began in 1948 when Alvin Harms started Harm’s Electric Service Company.
As electric power lines were being installed for the first time in rural communities, Harm’s Electric would follow behind and install lights and outlets to farmhouses that, up to that point, had no electricity. Since then, we’ve expanded our service offerings and changed the name to Kansas Electric, in tribute to our home state.
From our humble beginnings, Kansas Electric has become an organization that has developed a proven reputation for delivering superior, electrical design and construction services across the Midwest. We’re well versed in a wide range of projects including new construction, troubleshooting, and maintenance.
Core Values
At first glance, our list of values may seem odd for an electrical services company. But at the end of the day, we realize that our aim is simply humans helping other humans.
Extend grace
Mistakes will happen. We strive to be direct yet gracious as we address them, recognizing that every mistake provides an opportunity for growth.
Speak truth
Truth isn’t just an abstract virtue, it’s crucial to a well-lived life. In our business, it provides the fuel for growing partnerships both with our customers and within our team.
Live generously
Positivity and generosity are infectious. We want to build good outcomes together. That means appreciating each other's work and investing our energy in others’ success.
Embody stewardship
We all have limited resources (time, money, knowledge). We seek to respect the value of these resources for the gain of all.
Discover potential
There’s an abundance of positive potential out there that, when found, can lead to great things. We expect ourselves to spot what others may have missed.
Kansas Electric's people are the foundation of our company.
With diverse backgrounds and technical expertise, we share a commitment to service and excellence. Our team of electricians, project managers, and staff have the technical expertise and experience that spans the many areas of the commercial and industrial electrical trade.
Together, our team is ready to work for you.
