80 Years of Safe, Reliable Electrical Work

Serving Burlington since 1946

Our story

Serving Burlington and surrounding areas for 80 years and counting.

Brant Electric has been proudly serving Burlington and the surrounding areas since 1946. Founded by John Phelps, Brant Electric was the first electrical contractor in Burlington — setting the foundation for a legacy of quality and trust.

His two sons, James and Bill, carried on the tradition. Today the business is led by his grandson John, continuing three generations of electrical expertise.

As a family-owned and operated company, we take pride in providing top-quality electrical services with integrity and professionalism. We specialize in all aspects of electrical work — including generators, lighting and power distribution — serving both residential and commercial clients.

At Brant Electric, we don’t just power homes and businesses. We power our community.

Three generations

One family. Eight decades.

The same name on the truck since the first crew went out in 1946.

1946 · First generation
John Phelps opens the shop

Brant Electric becomes the first electrical contractor in Burlington, wiring the homes and storefronts of a growing town and setting the standard the company still works to.

Second generation
James and Bill carry it on

John’s two sons take over the tools and the business, expanding the work across the surrounding areas as Burlington grew into a commercial and industrial hub.

Third generation
John leads the company today
John’s grandson now runs Brant Electric — still family-owned, still operated out of Burlington, with a second location serving Hamilton and the surrounding region.
Today
80 years and counting

FAQ

Common Questions

My breaker keeps tripping. Can I just keep resetting it?

A breaker trips because something on that circuit is drawing more current than it should, or because there is a fault. Resetting it repeatedly does not address the cause and is not safe as a long-term habit — have the circuit looked at.

It depends entirely on the fault. Some are found in minutes; an intermittent problem that only appears in certain conditions takes longer. We will tell you what we are seeing as we go.
