In 1988, ASCOM INC, was first incorporated in Dover Township. The acronym ASCOM stands for “American Security and Communication”. The original intent for the company was to be a security and communications contractor only. Over the years, ASCOM established relationships with smaller, custom home builders to provide electrical contracting services and quickly became a go-to contractor for home wiring.
With the residential market growing, ASCOM continued to hire employees to keep up with demand. This quickly led to ASCOM’s ability to complete small commercial electrical projects. During this rapid growth period, ASCOM purchased an office building on Bull Road in Dover Township to call home.
In 2008, ASCOM saw a growing interest in renewable energy and quickly adapted. By 2009, ASCOM had gained extensive knowledge in Photovoltaic (solar) systems and began installing systems across the state. To date, ASCOM has installed approximately 62 systems that have produced roughly 5.10 gigawatts worth of solar energy.
After many years of steady growth, ASCOM purchased a larger facility on the corner of Davidsburg and Canal Road. This location has been instrumental in allowing us more visibility to the community. We remain a leader in the industry by providing superior service in the residential, commercial, and industrial market.
ASCOM continues to grow and now has 30 employees, including a full-time office manager, 2 full-time estimators/designers and 8 master electricians. We are a proud member of the Pennsylvania Chapter IEC (independent electrical contractors) and send all employees through the nationally recognized, 4 year apprenticeship program. Upon completion, graduates receive their “journeyman” certificate from the PA dept of Labor and Industry. ASCOM remains committed to developing our personnel into the best electricians possible.
We enjoy living and working in Dover Township, and are proud to have 4 Dover graduates on our team! Go Eagles!
