The idea for Simpson Electric was first shaped in 1954 that began with the borrowing of a truck and ended with the decision to start a business together. Working from "dark to dark", Simpson Electric was built from the ground up. It was a time when customers sent in letters and paid by check. The generation that followed joined in the successful family business, taking time out to serve proudly in the United States Marine Corps.
As the company grew, the new generation of Simpsons ran the contracting business, with the company's founding fathers operating the lighting showroom. The Simpson Electric Sign uptown is a Charlotte landmark.

Simpson Electric did the wiring for my new home, I reached out to them on one occasion to have an outlet looked at and didn't get a response until I went through our building foreman. The second time I reached out was to inquire about a whole house surge protector, that was three days ago and still no response.

This company hired me and fired me on the first hour of my third day. Reason: I'm not a good fit for their team. They didn't when give me a chance to show them what I know or how good I am at my job. They laid me off before I even knew all of their names. A company that'll treat an employee like that, I want no part of. If you hire them you're supporting that kind of behavior. Good luck.

Simpson Electric completed all the wires in our new build. My husband and I noticed some intermittent power outages and we reached out to Simpson Electric as we thought it was a wiring issue. Frankie and Roland came out to our house as soon as we called them and provided great customer service while we were trying to figure out the issue. The issue ended up being a power company issue (and is now fixed), but I just want to say how great they both were to work with! I would recommend them based on their work and customer service!

I called Simpson Electric on Friday, spoke to Roland! explained what I needed and was told $125.00 was the base rate for a visit and that the work I wanted would probably be another $95.00. I agreed and was pleasantly surprised to be told that he had 9:00 available on the following Monday. I called Monday at 9:10 to make sure I was still on the appointment schedule, knowing that traffic can be difficult and arrival can be delayed.
I wasn't concerned, just wanted to make sure I was on the schedule. No one answered the phone so I left a message. At 10:15, Roland called and said he had been called to an emergency but could be at my house in another 30 minutes.an hour and 45 minutes after our agreed time! I understand emergencies happen and I am open to reschedule if need be, but waiting an hour and 15 minutes to tell me he'd be delayed tells me he, and Simpson Electric, don't respect their customers. Happily there are other good electrical companies in the Charlotte area.but Simpson is not one I will do business with.
