Four generations. One promise.
Quality products, fair prices and customer service — the same values the Earnhardt family started with in 1948.
Born in the heart of textile country.
In 1948, C.F. Earnhardt, Sr. and James Edward Earnhardt, Sr. founded Earnhardt Electric Service, Inc. to serve the growing textile industry in upstate South Carolina. The mills ran on electric motors — and the Earnhardts kept them turning.
The Upstate has changed a lot since then. The mills gave way to advanced manufacturing, distribution and a new generation of industry, and our customer base grew right along with it. Today the business is run by the fourth generation of the Earnhardt family.
What hasn’t changed is how we work: quality products, fair prices and customer service.
