LaMorte Electric was started as an electrical contracting business by Brian LaMorte in April of 2010. He has been operating under this name as a small sole-proprietorship from April 2010 until the end of 2017. Since then the business has become an S-Corporation owned by himself and his business partner/girlfriend since January of 2018. The business has grown to include the owners as well as two other employees. 

LaMorte Electric has also decided to make the leap into the HVAC world beginning in the fall of 2018. This means that LaMorte Electric has become LaMorte Electric Heating and Cooling and can also help with all of your heating and cooling needs.

Who We Are

We are the environmentally conscious contractor and a local family-owned and operated business. We pride ourselves on our customer service. We provide safe and quality work in a way that gives our customers the small business experience with the large contractor expertise. 

Our Philosophy

It is important to us to be a socially-conscious, ethical business. One way in which we do that is by being a living wage employer, another way is more focused on our specific skill sets as trades-people. We want to inform our customers on the most efficient and renewable ways to energize their home. This is one reason that we are trying to make a push for air-source heat pumps. 

We like to envision a new standard in home construction. A standard that would include solar panels, a car charger, and an air-source heat pump that would heat and cool your home. With the right combination of these three things, a standard home would be able to leave a very small if not a zero carbon footprint without sacrificing any of our daily luxuries.
