Our Story
FromDirttoPower-On
Knight Electric Inc. is a full-scope electrical and HVAC contractor delivering comprehensive power, climate, and systems solutions nationwide. From earthwork and underground utilities to energization, commissioning, and HVAC installation — we provide the skilled workforce, specialized equipment, and field leadership to execute projects safely, efficiently, and on schedule.
We partner with general contractors, municipalities, developers, and private owners across electrical construction, HVAC services, sports lighting, civil site work, and trucking & hauling. Our self-performance model ensures cost certainty, schedule control, and uncompromised quality — from dirt to power-on, one contractor handles it all.
We own and operate our entire fleet of heavy equipment — excavators, boom lifts, trenchers, dump trailers, flatbeds, and service trucks — enabling rapid mobilization without dependency on third-party contractors or rental companies. Our trucking and hauling division moves equipment, materials, and earth across the region with DOT-certified operators. This vertical integration means streamlined communication, reduced schedule risk, and consistent quality across every phase.
