Our Story

Founded in 1972. Run the same way today.

Gary & Charles Knoebel Electric, Inc was started in Southampton in 1972 by the current owner's father and uncle. The current owner joined the business in 1979, learned the trade firsthand, and took complete ownership in 2010.

Today, the company is still small, still family-run, and still grounded in the same straightforward approach that built its local reputation: do the work properly, charge fairly, and stand behind it. That second-generation continuity matters to the families and businesses who keep calling us back.

The trucks still come from the same shop on Marys Lane, and the work is still done with the same emphasis on clean wiring, tidy panels, careful workmanship, and honest communication before we leave the job.

We explain the work and the price before we start. No upsells, no surprises.

Clean, Quiet Craft

Tidy wiring, clean job sites, respect for your home, and the patience to do it right.

All-Brand Generator Installs

Careful standby generator planning and installation for homes across the East End.

By the Numbers

Half a century of honest electrical work.

The numbers below are not the point — the work is. But they hint at the scale of trust this town has placed in us, year after year.
