Welchel Electrical Contractors, Inc. — 30 Years Strong
Home / About

30 years strong.

A family-owned electrical contractor founded in Spartanburg, South Carolina — and still run by the family that started it.

Our History

From a family dream to the Upstate’s trusted electrical partner.

Welchel Electrical Contractors, Inc. was co-founded in 1993 by Dale Welchel and his wife, Cynthia. After 15 years of hard work and dedication to the electrical industry, they opened their own electrical business in October of 1993.

Dale gained his experience working with a local electrical contractor and a local municipality, and went on to earn an Unlimited Mechanical Contractors license in South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia. Cynthia, the Company Administrator, earned her Associate’s in Business and built her experience working with local HVAC and plumbing contractors.

Today, WECI designs and installs the mechanical-electrical portion of projects with values up to $2 million — in a professional manner that exemplifies the craftsmanship of the trade.
