Lapp Electric Turns 50 – Week 9 (Emergency Service, Panel Stickers & Perseverance)

A few weeks ago, we shared with you that a 50th Anniversary is known as the Golden Anniversary.

Did you know that Violets are the flower that represents a 50th Anniversary? Or that 50 years ago, “Hey Jude” by the Beatles was the most popular song? What about the fact that the average price of gas was $0.34/gallon (no, you did not read that wrong, $0.34/gallon). 

50 years in business is something to be celebrated and each week via social media we are going to be doing just that as 2019 marks 50 years in business for Lapp Electric. 

Each week we are also going to summarize our social media posts on our Blog.

If you did not have a chance, be sure to check out last week’s post: 

Lapp Electric Turns 50 – Week 8 (EZ Solutions, Having Fun & Accessible)

Work Site

For a company that averages over 2500 jobs a year, picking out 52 job sites may be a challenge, but we look forward to sharing with you some memorable jobs over the past 50 years. 

Like firefighters responding to an emergency, we believe in providing superior service to our customers and community as we respond to electrical emergencies.

Our 9th week of looking back at our 50th year history started out very windy. High wind warnings were issued across the area for a 24+ hour period of time.

We had a customer have a tree come down which tore the service from their building. After the tree was removed, we were able to get them back up and operational.

We were grateful to hear from the Customer who stated… “You’re amazing. You guys really have it all together. I couldn’t have asked for better. Thank you so much!”

52 Memories of 50 Years

Panel stickers…when we install a panel or make changes to a panel, one of the things we like to do is install a panel sticker. That way you know who is familiar with your panel should you need service in the future.

Our panel sticker has changed over the years as shown in the picture below.

The panel sticker at the top is one of the first panel stickers we had and actually we just found this one on a panel we were working on last week.

Our current panel sticker in the red one in the bottom left-hand corner.

Do you have a Lapp Electric panel sticker on your panel? We would love to see a picture of it.
