About
Universal Electric brings over 100 years of combined technician experience to commercial electrical work across Omaha, NE and the greater metro, with dual licensure in both Nebraska (License #10918) and Iowa (License #6844) — a meaningful advantage for facility managers overseeing properties on either side of the Missouri River. As a family-owned and -operated contractor, Universal Electric serves a broad range of commercial property types including office buildings, retail centers, industrial facilities, warehouses, multifamily complexes, and mixed-use developments. Their commercial scope covers the core systems facility managers depend on: panelboard and circuit upgrades, power distribution work, commercial lighting installations and retrofits, EV charging (EVSE) infrastructure, backup generator hookups, and low-voltage systems including sound masking. The team also handles parking lot and high-reach lighting, underground wire locating, electrical trenching, surge protection, and NEC code compliance updates — making them a practical single-source resource for both planned capital projects and reactive maintenance needs. Universal Electric operates 24/7 emergency services, which is critical for facility managers who cannot afford extended downtime in occupied commercial buildings. Their cross-state licensing positions them well for property management companies and general contractors managing portfolios that span the Omaha-Council Bluffs metro. Whether coordinating a panel change-out during a tenant improvement, upgrading circuits for new equipment loads, or deploying EVSE at a commercial parking facility, Universal Electric's depth of service lines and local market presence make them a competitive option for commercial electrical work throughout Nebraska and Iowa.
