Parrish-Hare / Power-House Electrical Supply

What Parrish-Hare / Power-House Electrical Supply does

Parrish-Hare Electrical Supply, also operating as Power-House Electrical Supply, is an independent B2B electrical distributor founded in 1983 and headquartered in Irving, Texas. The company distributes a broad catalog of electrical supplies across 16+ categories — including wiring devices, lighting, controls, conduit and raceways, distribution equipment, fuses, tools, line construction material, and signaling/security equipment — primarily to commercial and industrial construction customers across the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex and North Texas. Beyond product distribution, Parrish-Hare operates four value-added service lines: PH Gear (electrical switchgear solutions pairing Schneider Electric products with in-house engineering), PH Engineering (power generation, electrical distribution, IoT, and automation engineering staffed by industrial and nuclear electrical engineers and master electricians), PH Logistics (custom logistics with a Job Management system providing 24/7 inventory and shipping visibility), and PH Services. Sub-branded offerings positioned alongside product sales convert the firm from a pure parts distributor into a full-service electrical partner for contractors and industrial operators.

The business carries products from premier manufacturers including Schneider Electric (including the Square D line), Leviton (30-year partnership), Cooper Lighting Solutions, Thomas & Betts (ABB), and Acuity Brands. Commercial operations are conducted through dedicated sales executives who manage accounts, an inside sales team, and a B2B e-commerce webstore powered by Billtrust with gated pricing behind customer login and a mandatory credit-application process for new accounts. Physical distribution runs through four Texas branches: Irving (headquarters), Haltom City, Ennis, and Midlothian.

Revenue is generated through one-time product sales transactions, plus attached engineering, switchgear, and logistics services. The company is privately held with no disclosed parent company, private equity, or venture capital backing, and operates as a member of the National Association of Electrical Distributors (NAED). Financial metrics including revenue and specific headcount are not publicly disclosed.
