About
Higgins Electric has operated in Dothan since 1932 from 1360 Columbia Hwy, making it one of the oldest continuously running electrical contractors in southeast Alabama. The firm specializes in industrial electrical design, construction, and maintenance for large commercial and industrial clients across the region, with experience that runs across generations of plant equipment, motor controls, and power distribution.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long has Higgins Electric been operating in Dothan?
Higgins Electric has worked in Dothan since 1932, making it one of the oldest continuously running electrical contractors in southeast Alabama. Operating across more than nine decades means the firm has wired and rewired multiple generations of industrial and commercial buildings in the Wiregrass, with institutional knowledge of plant equipment that newer contractors do not yet have.
Does Higgins Electric do residential work?
Higgins Electric specializes in industrial and large commercial electrical work in Dothan rather than residential service calls. Homeowners looking for a panel swap or a ceiling fan install are usually a better match for the residential-focused electricians in the city, while plant managers and commercial developers turn to Higgins for the heavier scope.
Where is Higgins Electric located?
Higgins Electric works out of 1360 Columbia Hwy in Dothan. The Columbia Highway address has been the firm's anchor for the industrial design-and-build work it does across southeast Alabama, and the location sits on a corridor that connects the company easily to industrial sites across Houston County.
What kinds of industrial systems does Higgins design?
Higgins Electric designs and builds industrial electrical systems including power distribution, motor control, and large equipment installation. The firm runs the full chain from design through construction to ongoing maintenance, which is the structure most heavy commercial and industrial clients in the Wiregrass need from a single electrical contractor.
Can Higgins handle ongoing electrical maintenance contracts?
Yes, ongoing electrical maintenance is a listed service for Higgins Electric. Manufacturing plants and large commercial facilities in the Dothan area use scheduled maintenance to catch failing components before they cause unplanned downtime, and Higgins's experience across decades of industrial systems is part of why long-term contracts make sense with the firm.
Does Higgins do service upgrades?
Service upgrades are part of the Higgins Electric scope, primarily for commercial and industrial clients in Dothan whose existing service is undersized for new equipment loads. The firm coordinates with utility companies, handles permitting, and brings the engineering depth needed to size service correctly for industrial demand patterns.
