FEMA Prime Contractor — nationwide disaster relief. Since Hurricane Andrew in 1992, we’ve worked alongside Bechtel, Fluor Daniel, Phillips & Jordan and Hoar Construction restoring power when communities need it most.
Most contractors count experience in years. We count it in generations — a family line of electricians stretching back to 1903.
The family electrical business begins inside the founder’s uncle’s hardware store — later operating as Barry Electric, one of Chicago’s oldest and largest electrical contractors.
Ron Forbis brings the family tradition south, founding Forbis Electric Systems with his father and brothers — contracting and lighting for a fast-growing Southwest Florida.
The company answers the call as a FEMA prime contractor — beginning decades of nationwide disaster-relief work with the world’s largest builders.
Residential, commercial, and industrial electrical services — built on the same values as 1903: integrity, reliability, and excellence.
Ron Forbis started young — a lawn-care business at 10, and by 12 he was building light fixtures in the warehouse of Barry Electric, one of Chicago’s oldest electrical contractors, during school breaks.
In 1982 he brought that work ethic to Naples, founding Forbis Electric Systems alongside his brothers. What began as a local contracting and lighting business grew — through craftsmanship and customer service — into projects spanning residential, commercial, multi-family, service, and FEMA recovery work across Southwest Florida and Mississippi.
Today Ron leads the company with the same values it was built on: integrity, reliability, and excellence.
Real feedback from homeowners across Naples and Bonita Springs.
I had Matt and Garrett servicing my electrical panel and lighting, they did a wonderful job. I will only request them from now on.
Angelo walked me through the process of fixing my outlets and lighting switches. It was nice to have the services explained to me.
Garrett was a joy to have working on my home, he was respectful and very courteous.
