About Us


Square One Electric Motors and Pumps - Delaware's Best Motor Sales and Repair Shop

We are proud to be a Delaware family owned and operated business. The company opened in the 1940's, and has grown from a garage in Milford to a 15,000+ square foot facility in Dover. When we started, most of our customers were Delmarva farmers. Since then, our customer base has grown to include schools, manufacturers, refineries, glass plants, water treatment facilities, steel mills, and so much more! We service Delaware and the surrounding parts of Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey - from York, PA, through Philadelphia and over to Atlantic City, NJ, and southward to Salisbury, MD. 


Square One Electric Motors and Pump's reputation is based on decades of integrity, honesty, and just plain good business; we work as if your problem is our problem and don't stop until a solution is found. We understand:

  • you’re expected to keep production running on a shoe-string budget.
  • it’s 2AM and a motor burns up on the main line. Production is stopped and there’s no spare.
  • you’re working on a bid and need the best price possible to be competitive.
  • the drive keeps tripping out and you don’t know why.
  • your gearbox is shot and the thing looks older than the building. Can it even get fixed?
  • the rooftop air handler bangs on startup….obviously it's time for service.

These scenarios and more - that's where Square One excels. First and foremost, we are in the service business. Anyone can sell a motor. We're the crew who shows up to get you running when no one else will, whether it's Saturday night or Christmas Eve.

We have history not only with the area, but also with most of our customers, many of whom have been using Square One for over 20 years.
