About KE

Hard to Say. Easy to Love.

Since the very beginning, Knobelsdorff has been a family-oriented company. From when we first opened for business to today, those family principles and values have continued to guide us forward.

Knobelsdorff: Over 35 Years of Trusted Electrical Services, Innovation, and Growth Nationwide

Knobelsdorff started over 35 years ago in a small garage, founded on a simple but powerful commitment: to deliver reliable, high-quality electrical services to our local community. What began as a small operation has grown into a multifaceted company with four divisions, projects across the nation, and a presence that reaches even beyond our national borders. Despite our growth, we’ve never lost sight of what got us here—hard work, dedication, and a relentless focus on getting the job done right.

Our journey from a small electrical company to a national leader is a testament to our core values – Safety, People, Passion and Performance. We’ve built a reputation for excellence, not just through the projects we complete but through the relationships we build. At Knobelsdorff, every role matters, every project is meaningful, and every customer partnership is valued.
