About

It all started when Lionel Houle and his father opened an electrical store, Houle Electric, in 1944 to serve the needs of the community of Port Alberni. Soon after, Lionel realized electrical work was in demand province-wide, which led him on a path of expansion, taking his family business and turning it into an integral part of communities across British Columbia.

The passion and dedication of our founders has been passed down to our current generation of employees, who continue to uphold our guiding values to create opportunity, enrich lives, and bring communities to life. Today, we’ve become a major provider of integrated electrical and technology solutions across British Columbia and a company that puts people first. We create opportunities for everyone who works at Houle, for our partners, and for the communities in which we operate.

Houle is more than a business; it’s a company with heart and a commitment to making a positive difference. By supporting growth and considering the impact of our actions together with our partners, we’re continually bettering ourselves and the communities we serve.
