Residential service and EV/generator work, or commercial electrical construction bid through general contractors — electrification is growing both, and they sell differently.
Electrical contractors sit at the center of electrification — but a residential service electrician installing panels, EV chargers, and generators is a very different business than a commercial electrical contractor running plan-and-spec construction for general contractors. We advise owners across both — residential and commercial, service and construction — and position each for the right buyer pool.
Residential value comes from non-discretionary repair demand plus electrification add-ons — panel upgrades, EV chargers, and backup generators. We help residential electrical owners present service revenue, recurring work, and electrification growth the way buyers value it.
Commercial electrical is frequently construction-driven — new building, tenant improvement, and capital projects bid through general contractors, with backlog, bonding, design-build, and prevailing-wage work shaping value. We help commercial electrical contractors position backlog quality, GC relationships, and recurring service for construction-savvy buyers.
Acquirers price residential service-and-electrification revenue very differently from commercial construction backlog. Knowing how your project mix, GC concentration, and recurring service read to a buyer is the key to a premium outcome.
When a buyer evaluates an electrical business, a handful of factors do most of the work in setting the multiple — across both residential service and commercial construction models:
Whether you’re considering a sale, planning an acquisition, or just want an honest read on what your business is worth — residential or commercial — we’re glad to talk. No pitch, no pressure.
