About
Founded in 1955 by the Eakes brothers after World War II, Industrial Electric Company of Charlotte (IECC) brings over 70 years of continuous commercial and industrial electrical experience to facilities across the Carolinas. That longevity translates directly into operational value for property managers and facility managers who need a contractor with deep institutional knowledge of complex electrical systems and the stability to support long-term capital projects. IECC operates out of Charlotte, NC, serving a broad range of facility types including industrial and manufacturing plants, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, office interiors, data centers, and ground-up new construction. Their core technical scope spans power distribution, switchgear, panelboards and breakers, backup generator installations, lighting systems, and low-voltage and data infrastructure — the full stack of electrical systems that keep commercial and institutional buildings running without interruption. For general contractors managing large-scale builds, IECC has earned endorsements from firms like Brasfield & Gorrie, where their team demonstrated the ability to navigate late scope changes, procurement delays, and coordination challenges while still delivering on schedule. That track record of problem-solving under pressure is a meaningful differentiator for facility managers overseeing complex, multi-trade projects in healthcare, education, or industrial environments. IECC's stated core values — Safety, Quality, Integrity, and Respect — are reinforced by documented safety protocols, transparent bidding practices, and a commitment to only accepting projects they can execute to the highest standards. For Charlotte-area facility managers and property owners seeking a proven industrial electrical partner with multi-decade regional roots, IECC offers the expertise and reliability to support both ongoing facility operations and large capital improvement projects across the Carolinas.
