Our History

Our History

Schuler-Haas Electric Corp. with locations in Rochester, Ithaca, Binghamton, and Corning, NY has been a leader in electrical contracting since 1961. The business was started by Jack Schuler, George Haas, and Joyce Donnelly in the basement of Jack’s father’s house. After experiencing steady growth, they moved to 224 Mt. Hope in 1964 where they remained for 36 years. In 2000, a significant change occurred as Jack and George retired and were bought out by Dan Streicher and Jack’s son Edward Schuler. They moved the company to a 16,000-foot facility located just across the street. Throughout the years they integrated the latest technologies to help their clients take advantage of the newest in telecommunications, fiber optics, solar arrays, and design/build services.
