40 years of showing up.

Since 1986, our crew has run wire in Pittsburgh attics, upgraded panels in North Hills basements, and responded to emergency calls on the coldest January nights. We're not a franchise. We're Pittsburgh people doing Pittsburgh work.

Our story

Built on honest work and a handshake.

King Electric Service started with a simple belief: Pittsburgh homeowners and businesses deserve an electrician they can actually trust. No upselling. No vanishing after the job. Just solid, code-compliant electrical work done right the first time.

We opened our doors in 1986 and have spent four decades serving Allegheny County and the surrounding communities. Our crew knows Pittsburgh's older housing stock — the knob-and-tube in Lawrenceville, the aging panels in Mt. Lebanon, the tricky 3-wire setups in Penn Hills. That local knowledge saves our customers time and money every single job.

We're fully licensed and insured in Pennsylvania. When we leave your property, the work is permitted, inspected, and done to last.

Why King Electric

What we stand behind.

Real people, real accountability

When you call, you reach our crew — not a call center. The same people who answer are the same people who show up. We put our name on every job.

Code-compliant. Fully permitted.

Every job we do is up to Pennsylvania electrical code. We pull permits, we pass inspections, and we document the work. No shortcuts that come back to bite you at resale.

Honest pricing, upfront

We tell you what a job will cost before we start. No surprises on the invoice. If something changes mid-job, we call you first — always.

Fully licensed & insured

Pennsylvania licensed electrical contractor. Fully insured. We protect your home, your family, and our crew on every job — no exceptions.

40 years of Pittsburgh know-how

We've worked in Pittsburgh's old rowhouses, its post-war ranches, its modern commercial builds. That experience means fewer surprises and faster diagnosis when something's wrong.

24/7 emergency response

Electrical emergencies don't wait for business hours. Our crew is reachable around the clock for panel failures, outages, and anything that can't wait until morning.

Our service area

We know Pittsburgh.

Our crew lives and works in the same communities we serve. From the North Hills to the South Hills, East End to the western suburbs — Allegheny County is home.
