History of Hurt Electric

Hurt Electric, Inc. began operations in 1996 by Henry Hurt. Hurt Electric has always operated as a union contractor providing Electrical service and repairs to its customers in Southeastern Wisconsin. Hurt Electric merged with Ardell Electric on May 1, 2006. Hurt Electric moved its office to the Menomonee Falls location from Northwest Milwaukee shortly thereafter.

Ardell Electric has been in operation since 1966, under the ownership of Richard Schmidt, and on April 1, 1998 was acquired by Ron Rechlicz and Tim Jahn. Ardell continued to operate out of its long-time location in West Allis, Wisconsin, until early summer of 2000, when offices were moved to bigger and better accommodations in Menomonee Falls, WI.

Both Companies have completed an extensive and diversified list of projects such as Miller Park, Hospitals, Educational Institutions, Manufacturing Plants, Telecommunication Utility Facilities, etc. All three Hurt Electric owners have advanced experience in Construction Supervision and Project Management.
