Our Story
Our company was founded by Larry Neuman, a seasoned electrician with over 26 years of experience in the industry. Larry recognized the importance of building strong relationships with his clients and providing exceptional customer service. He decided to leave his previous employer and start his own business, Merit Electric Company. His wife, Judy, has been his rock, providing support and encouragement throughout the years.
As the company grew, Larry was joined by his children, Laura and Jeff. Laura brought her business acumen and organizational skills to the table, while Jeff's experience as a journeyman electrician and his mechanical aptitude made him an asset to the team. The family's commitment to honesty, integrity, and customer satisfaction has been the driving force behind Merit Electric Company's success.
