Thompson Electric, Inc.

What Thompson Electric, Inc. does

Thompson Electric, Inc. is a privately held, full-service electrical contracting company founded in 2010 by Jon Thompson and headquartered at 107 N College St, Lebanon, Tennessee. The company operates across two principal business units: a Residential division offering electrical repair, lighting and wiring installation, panel upgrades, generator installation, and EV charger installation for homeowners, and a Commercial & Industrial division delivering new construction wiring, renovations, design-build projects, switchgear and transformer work, thermal imaging inspections, and 24/7 emergency response for facilities of all sizes. Operations are concentrated in Middle Tennessee with service coverage spanning Lebanon, Nashville, Mt. Juliet, Gallatin, Hendersonville, Murfreesboro, Franklin, Brentwood, Smyrna, La Vergne, and surrounding communities. Technical capabilities include licensed journeyman and foreman-level electrical work, design-build collaboration with general contractors and architects, and specialized trade techniques such as rope access exterior lighting on high-rise structures. The company employs operational SaaS integrations — Jobber for client scheduling, Square for online bill payment, Wisetack for customer financing, and a Square-integrated web invoice payment portal — alongside a TVA Preferred Partner Network affiliation that enables customer access to energy efficiency rebates.

Revenue is generated primarily through professional services billed on hourly and project-quote bases across both divisions, with additional hardware-attached revenue from the sale and installation of whole-home and commercial/industrial generators and EV chargers. Customer acquisition is split between direct-to-consumer field service (phone-based scheduling, website contact forms, online scheduling) and enterprise field sales involving detailed project bids targeting facility managers, general contractors, architects, and sub-contractors. Notable commercial customers span multiple verticals — including Al Neyer Construction (700,000 sq ft industrial warehouse complex), United Airlines (Nashville technical operations facility), West End Middle School, the Tennessee Justice Center, Musicians Hall of Fame and Smashville at Nashville International Airport, Viridian (36-story skyscraper), and the National Indoor RV Center. The company differentiates through family-tradition craftsmanship, transparent "No Shock Pricing" guarantees, round-the-clock emergency availability, and integrated design-build project delivery, while operating without external funding or institutional ownership.
