About
Operating since 1987, Speelman Electric LLC brings nearly four decades of commercial and industrial electrical experience to property managers and facility managers across Northeast Ohio, headquartered in Tallmadge and serving the greater Akron-Canton metro. Led by founder Richard Speelman, whose 30 years of hands-on expertise spans electrical design, installation, testing, and predictive maintenance, the firm fields a team of journeyman electricians and skilled department managers capable of handling complex commercial projects from initial design-build consultation through final commissioning. Speelman Electric supports a broad range of facility types including office buildings, retail centers, industrial and manufacturing facilities, warehouses, institutional properties, and multifamily developments. Their commercial scope covers power distribution systems, switchgear and panelboard work, lighting systems and retrofits, low-voltage voice/data/video and telecom infrastructure, and backup power solutions — making them a practical single-source partner for facilities with diverse electrical needs. The firm's dedicated commercial service division is structured to manage new construction, tenant improvement renovations, and ongoing maintenance, with estimators and project managers assigned to keep complex work on schedule and on budget. Emergency electrical service is also available, a critical capability for facility managers who cannot afford extended downtime in occupied or operational buildings. With a track record built across Northeast Ohio since the Reagan era, Speelman Electric positions itself as a long-term contractor relationship rather than a transactional vendor — their stated goal of 'creating customers for life' reflects an orientation toward repeat facility and portfolio work. Facility managers overseeing multi-building portfolios or managing capital improvement cycles in the Akron, Canton, or greater Summit County area will find Speelman Electric a well-established regional option with the depth to handle both planned projects and urgent service calls.
