What Davis Electric does

Davis Electric, Inc. is a privately held, founder-owned electrical contracting firm founded in April 1980 by Rodger Davis and headquartered in Cimarron, Kansas. The company specializes in industrial, commercial, and agricultural electrical work and serves customers across a four-state territory spanning Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Texas through branch offices in Cimarron (KS), Scott City (KS), Clearwater (KS), and Holly (CO). Its core offerings include industrial power distribution and machine installation/relocation, commercial electrical infrastructure with energy-efficiency retrofits, and agricultural electrical systems for grain, dairy, livestock, and irrigation operations; the firm also installs Honeywell E3 Series fire alarm systems, KOHLER standby generators, and provides specialty services such as thermal imaging, power quality monitoring, line locating, and design-build engineering.

Underlying capability rests on a workforce of 70+ full-time staff — including master and journeymen electricians with PLC programming experience — backed by a fleet of 40 service vehicles (including a line truck and bucket truck) that enables rapid regional response. Specialty equipment includes thermal imaging cameras for nondestructive diagnostics, A-Frame antenna systems for underground fault location, and dedicated power monitoring instrumentation. The firm maintains a structured talent pipeline through an in-house Apprenticeship Education Program in partnership with Garden City Community College and continuing education through Purdue University Project Management programs.

Davis Electric generates revenue primarily through project-based electrical contracting — one-time installation, repair, and maintenance engagements — supplemented by 24/7 emergency service calls and free estimates for commercial customers. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Customers include agricultural co-ops and feed processors (Country Feeds, Alliance Ag & Grain, Garden City Co-op, Lovefern), institutional and government buyers (Cimarron-Ensign USD 102, Finney County Corrections, Kansas DOT, Stanton County Hospital), retail (Dick's Sporting Goods), and food processing (Kansas Dairy Ingredients, via JE Dunn Construction), supported by referral relationships with general contractors including Murray Company and Integrated Consulting Engineers. Distribution is exclusively direct field sales via the company-owned fleet, with marketing driven primarily by reputation, customer testimonials, and a Facebook presence.
