Hargett Electric Company, Inc. traces its roots back to the early 1940s when Jack R. Hargett founded a small electrical business in Monroe, North Carolina. Over the decades, the company has undergone several transformations, including a name change to Long Wiring Co. in 1969, after being purchased by Fred Long, a long-time friend and employee of Hargett. In 2000, Jack D. Hargett, the grandson of the founder, reacquired the company, restoring its original name in 2012.
Initially focused on residential and small commercial electrical projects, Hargett Electric expanded its scope over the years, emphasizing commercial and industrial electrical services. With more than seventy years of experience, the company has established itself as a leader in the electrical industry, characterized by its commitment to quality service and community involvement.
The Hargett family has played an influential role not only in the company’s success but also in the broader welfare of the Union County community. Jack R. Hargett and Fred Long were prominent figures in local governance, serving on various boards and contributing to economic development projects. The late Phil Hargett, father of Jack D. Hargett, was recognized for his efforts in advancing local industries and was a key figure in establishing the City of Monroe Industrial Park.
Today, Jack D. Hargett, along with his son Jackson, maintains the family legacy by upholding the values of hard work, honesty, and integrity that have been passed down through generations. The company's staff is committed to leveraging modern innovations to meet the diverse electrical needs of its commercial and industrial clients. Hargett Electric continues its dedication to community service through active participation in various non-profit organizations and local foundations, further solidifying its reputation as a pillar of the community.
