Based in Walnut Ridge, this family-owned business has built its reputation on reliability and deep community knowledge, focusing on the specific needs of local families and the agricultural sector.

Key Electrical Services for Northeast Arkansas

Lawhon Electric offers a comprehensive range of services tailored to the area's homes and farms. These services address common regional requirements, from routine maintenance to emergency repairs.

Electrical Safety & Panel Services

This includes circuit breaker and electric panel installation and repair. In older Walnut Ridge neighborhoods like College City or in historic homes near downtown, outdated panels are a frequent concern. Upgrading these systems is crucial for safety, especially to handle modern appliances and prevent overloads during peak usage times.

Installation & Repair Services

The team handles light fixture, outlet, doorbell, and wire installation and repair. For newer developments in areas like the corridors near Highway 67B or in growing communities like Jonesboro's Indian Hills, these services are often part of home renovations or new construction projects, ensuring all electrical components meet current codes.

Inspection & Backup Power

Electric inspections are vital for real estate transactions and insurance purposes throughout Craighead and Lawrence Counties. Generator installation and repair is a key service for rural properties in surrounding areas like Pocahontas or Corning, where power outages can occur due to the region's severe spring storms and occasional winter ice events.
