Keeping the Upstate’s motors running for four generations.
Wholesale electrical supplies, new motors & drives, and complete electric motor repair and rewinding — under one roof, from a family that’s been doing it since 1948.
Supply house. Motor dealer. Repair shop.
Most plants juggle a distributor, a motor vendor and a repair shop. At Earnhardt, it’s the same people, the same phone number, and decades of knowing your equipment.
Electrical Supplies
Switchgear, transformers, lighting, building wire up to 600V and power cable up to 15kV — from the brands electricians trust.

Visit the motor shopWhen a motor fails, every hour of downtime counts.
Our shop handles everything from small single-phase motors to large industrial units — rebuilt, rewound and tested by technicians who’ve seen it all. Rebuilding is often faster than waiting on a new motor, and it keeps a proven machine in service.

Built for the textile mills. Trusted by today’s industry.
C.F. Earnhardt, Sr. and James Edward Earnhardt, Sr. opened Earnhardt Electric Service in 1948 to serve the booming textile industry of upstate South Carolina. Seventy-plus years later, the fourth generation of the family runs the business.
Our customers have changed with the Upstate — manufacturing, municipalities, contractors and farms — but our values haven’t: quality products, fair prices and customer service.
