When it comes to the power generation business, large companies tend to focus on the general needs of the customer; offering limited services and prelisted power options.
If a customers’ needs would be better met with a custom solution, that option is usually turned down in favor of a prelisted power option with minimal changes. This singular mindset is especially prevalent in switchgear, where many engineers are not overly familiar with the switchgear components and end up overcharging the customer.
In contrast, LEC is a small company, made up of switchgear experts, that give customers’ our full attention while offering custom solutions and a wide variety of services.
We pride ourselves on delivering “out-of-the-box” solutions with the industry expertise to understand your specific needs and complete your project smoothly. For example, we boast years of experience in making dissimilar generators work in harmony.

In 2010, the founder of LEC, Randy Leman was at the point in his career as an electrical engineer that he saw a need for professional, custom work in the switchgear industry and began doing freelance work on his own time, operating out of his garage.
By 2013 Randy had enough regular customers that he began laying the groundwork to transform part-time, freelance business into a fully operational company.
Finally, on February 19, 2014, LEC had its first day as a full-time business. From there, LEC started as a three-man operation, and once demands got large enough, he moved business to its current location in 2016 where LEC has only continued to grow.

In the 90’s much of power generation business was diesel related. This was before Tier 2 or Tier 4 ever existed. Life was simpler back then! Especially since bulk diesel fuel could be purchased for $1 per gallon, sometimes less!
Today we still have diesel projects, but natural gas is much more commonplace. Also, people are much more reliant on “all-in-one” controllers to do the heavy lifting. As a result, much of the knowledge concerning how the power generation works and why has been lost.

Wouldn’t a crystal ball be handy? No one can say exactly what the future holds. However, as the power market today is largely fueled by technological advancement and society’s desire to find cleaner ways of living, green energy is ever-growing popularity. The movement to electric cars is an excellent example of this.
With all signs pointing to a continued increase in renewable energy projects and beefed-up electrical grids to compensate, the need for power generation seems to only increase.
This business changes over time, but it does not go away.
