What Herndon Electric does

Herndon Electric, Inc. is a privately held electrical contracting firm founded in 1984 and headquartered in Dothan, Alabama, serving commercial, industrial, and institutional clients across southeast Alabama and the Florida Panhandle. The firm delivers a unified portfolio of electrical construction, installation, renovation, and maintenance services — including electric distribution upgrades, fire alarm systems, emergency generators, grounding and lightning protection, thermal imagery diagnostics, power quality analysis, and ASHRAE 90.1-compliant LED lighting retrofits. Specialty expertise centers on healthcare and educational facilities, with documented capability to engineer multiple smaller shutdowns that keep hospital operating rooms and other critical-care areas energized during construction and renovation.

The business operates on a project-based professional services model, with the majority of work procured through traditional general contractor hard-bid projects and a portion through direct design-build engagements with institutional and industrial clients. Pricing is quote-based, determined by scope, project size, and complexity, with no disclosed recurring or subscription components. Distribution is sales-led and relationship-driven: Herndon leverages multi-decade ties with utilities, town and city councils, local economic development boards, and Authorities Having Jurisdiction, as well as ongoing institutional relationships (Troy University and Southeast Health both since the mid-1990s), supported by a website-based project portfolio and Indeed job listings. The firm reports 11-50 employees, no disclosed revenue, no funding history, and no parent company, operating status is active with current hiring and project execution.
