About Owner Bill Sylvia
Growing up in the very small town of Dighton, Massachusetts, 40 miles south of Boston, Bill Sylvia always liked fixing things – and he still does. Upon graduating high school, he followed that passion to the Coyne Electrical School of Boston, one of the largest and most reputable electrical and electronics training organizations in the Midwest, where he traveled to and from, daily for 2 years.
After completing the program in January of 1982, he moved to Florida and immediately began working on commercial projects, including hospitals, country clubs, and restaurants, for a small electrical company in South Florida. In 1984, he received his Journeyman Electrician License and was quickly promoted to head of the company’s Commercial Projects division.
In 1986, he went to work for a larger electrical company, also in South Florida. There, he was able to expand beyond just commercial projects into large residential projects and private homes.
With 12 years of experience under his belt at that point, the now Master Electrician, decided to break out on his own. In 1995, he formed All-Pro Electrical and Air Conditioning with the goal of “exceeding customer expectations every day” by delivering honest, reliable service and upfront pricing, and treating every customer’s home as he would want his own home treated.
Believing you can never have too much knowledge, Bill is part of Nexstar Network, a member-owned organization that empowers business leaders through continued education and the sharing of ideas. In 2008, All-Pro Electrical and Air Conditioning was awarded the Nexstar Network Customer Service Award.
Married for over 30 years, Bill and his wife Beverly have two boys, Cameron and Jake, and a Golden Retriever named Seguin, after the Dallas Stars’ Tyler Seguin. As you probably guessed from the dog’s name, Bill is a lifelong hockey enthusiast. He grew up playing ice hockey in Massachusetts and has played in adult leagues in Florida over the years. Bill enjoyed watching both of his sons play youth travel hockey, and he loves going to see the Florida Panthers with his sons.
Bill also believes in giving back to the community where he’s raised a family and built his business. As such, he’s actively involved with Habitat for Humanity of South Palm Beach County, Make-A-Wish Southern Florida, and Boca Helping Hands, a community-based nonprofit that provides food, medical and financial assistance to meet basic human needs as well as education, and job training.
