Yemen Electric

Our History

Yemen Electric, a proud member of the Ottawa Valley community since 1970, was founded by Vern Yemen. What started as a simple wiring job for a family member blossomed into a thriving business, building a strong foundation serving diverse sectors - from agricultural clients to bustling commercial spaces. Vern's legacy is built on a commitment to exceptional service, a dedication to quality, and a deep understanding of the needs of his customers.

Over the decades, Yemen Electric has grown and evolved along with the changing electrical landscape. We expanded our offerings to encompass residential, commercial and industrial sectors, becoming a trusted name for all types of electrical projects. Now, jointly managed by Dorothy Yemen and three of her sons - Brian, Scott and John - we continue to build on Vern's principles of integrity, reliability, and customer satisfaction.

Serving Generations

The beautiful thing about our business is its many heartwarming connections. We've had the privilege of working with the same families for generations, building strong relationships based on trust and mutual respect. Children of Vern's original customers now entrust us with their own electrical needs, a testament to the enduring quality of our work and the lasting impact he made.
