Frequently Asked Questions
What does the veteran-owned designation mean for Shepherd Electric?
Shepherd Electric Company markets itself as veteran- and family-owned, which means ownership is held by a veteran and the day-to-day operation is run within the family. The framing influences hiring and the company culture rather than carrying a separate procurement designation, and it shows up in how the shop talks about duty, integrity, and dedication on residential and commercial projects in Pelham.
Why is Shepherd Electric an authorized Cummins dealer?
Authorized Cummins dealer status means Shepherd Electric is approved by Cummins to sell, install, and service Cummins standby generators. Authorization requires technician training and inventory commitments, and it gives Pelham customers a single contractor for the generator purchase, the wiring, the gas or propane connections (where applicable), and ongoing maintenance rather than three separate vendors.
Does the shop run commercial electrical alongside residential?
Yes. Shepherd Electric handles both residential and commercial electrical work. Commercial offerings include faulty wiring repair, elevator upgrades, data cabling, and outdoor lighting projects, while residential covers panel upgrades, lighting installation, and emergency repairs. The same team rotates between the two project types, with separate scheduling for larger commercial scopes.
Can Shepherd Electric install EV chargers?
EV charger installation is a published service, which involves running a dedicated 240-volt circuit from the panel to the charger location, typically inside a garage. The work commonly includes evaluating panel capacity to confirm there is room for a new high-amperage breaker, and Shepherd Electric handles both the panel-side electrical work and the physical charger mounting.
Is there a 24/7 emergency line?
Yes. Shepherd Electric maintains 24/7 emergency electrical service in addition to its standard Monday through Friday 8am to 5pm hours. After-hours calls cover situations like service drops, panel failures, sparking outlets, and outages caused by weather or vehicle accidents in the Pelham service area, with on-call technicians dispatched directly from the local shop.
Which Alabama license number does Shepherd Electric carry?
Shepherd Electric Company operates under Alabama electrical contractor license S-58621. The license is required for permitted electrical work in Pelham, Helena, Alabaster, and surrounding Shelby County jurisdictions, and the number appears on quotes and on permits pulled by the contractor for service upgrades, panel replacements, and generator installations.
