About Yemen Electric
55 years of honest electrical work in the Ottawa Valley.
Our Story
Yemen Electric was founded in 1970 by Vern Yemen — starting from a single farmhouse wiring job in the Ottawa Valley. Over the next five decades, Vern built the company into one of the region's most trusted electrical contractors, serving residential, commercial, and industrial clients across Eastern Ontario.
Today, the company is run by Dorothy Yemen and her sons Brian, Scott, and John. The family carries on the same commitment to honest work and fair dealing that Vern established over 55 years ago. Second and third generation customers are a source of pride — a sign that the relationships built over decades still hold.
Yemen Electric is not a franchise. It is a family business, rooted in Renfrew, serving its neighbours.
