“If I wouldn't put it in my own house, it doesn't go in yours.”
The people behind Sentinel Electric.
Two owners, one shop on Jackson Court, and a habit of labeling every panel we open.
A family shop on Jackson Court.
Sentinel Electric is Brian and Kathryn Chase and a small crew they trained themselves. We've grown slowly, kept our prices in writing, and kept our name on every panel we touch.
- 2011
Brian Chase started taking service calls out of one truck in Bessemer City, mostly older mill houses with fuse boxes and two-prong outlets. Word spread the way it does here: neighbor to neighbor, church to church.
- 2015
Kathryn came on full time to run scheduling and estimates. That's when written prices before work became the rule, not the exception, and the phone started getting answered by a person every time.
- 2019
We moved into the shop on Jackson Court and began taking on small commercial work: restaurants on Main Street, a dental office in Gastonia, tenant fit-outs in Kings Mountain.
- Today
We're still a small, family-run outfit on purpose. Every job is permitted where it should be, every panel gets a readable directory, and we'd rather turn down work than rush it. Most of our calls still come from people whose parents used us first.
