The Story Behind the Company
Veteran-Owned. Master Electrician-Led. Built for Long-Term Protection.
Live Smart Electric & Solar helps homes, farms, and businesses build safer, more reliable electrical infrastructure for today’s needs and tomorrow’s challenges.
Our Story · Why We Started
While serving overseas, our founder witnessed firsthand what life looks like when critical infrastructure becomes unreliable. When electricity fails, daily life becomes significantly more difficult. Businesses struggle to operate. Families lose access to essential services. Communication becomes limited. Communities become more vulnerable.
Those experiences created a lasting appreciation for the role reliable infrastructure plays in everyday life.
After returning home and building a career as a Master Electrician, it became clear that many of the same vulnerabilities exist closer to home.
Severe weather, aging electrical systems, utility outages, equipment failures, and growing energy demands continue to affect homes, businesses, and farms throughout our communities.
Live Smart Electric & Solar was founded on the belief that electrical systems should do more than simply function — they should help people remain safe, productive, and prepared. Today, we help our customers improve safety, reliability, and resilience through electrical infrastructure, backup power systems, solar energy solutions, battery storage, surge protection, and long-term service partnerships.
Whether we are replacing an electrical panel, installing a generator, troubleshooting a solar system, or helping a family prepare for future outages, our focus remains the same:
Helping people protect what matters most — and preparing them for whatever comes next.
Our Mission
To help homes, farms, and businesses build resilient electrical infrastructure that protects what matters most and keeps them operating when others cannot. Through electrical, solar, backup power, battery storage, surge protection, and long-term service partnerships, we help our customers improve safety, reliability, and preparedness for the future.
Our Vision
To build the most resilient communities in America — one home, farm, and business at a time. We envision communities where families are prepared, businesses remain productive, farms continue operating, and churches are equipped to serve others when challenges arise. Resilient infrastructure is a foundation for stronger communities and a better future.
Guiding Principle
People depend on the systems we install. We never lose sight of that responsibility.
Behind every electrical panel, generator, solar system, battery backup, surge protector, and service call is a family, a business, or a farm relying on that system to function properly. We understand that the work we perform impacts comfort, productivity, safety, communication, security, and peace of mind. That responsibility influences every recommendation we make and every project we complete.
Our Core Values
Five Commitments We Build On
Stewardship
We treat every project, dollar, resource, and relationship as something entrusted to us.
Whether we’re working on a service upgrade, solar system, generator installation, or a simple repair, our responsibility extends beyond the work itself. We strive to be good stewards of our customers’ trust, their investment, and the opportunity to serve them.
Reliability
People depend on the systems we install and maintain.
Electricity powers homes, businesses, farms, communication systems, security systems, medical equipment, and countless parts of everyday life. Reliability matters because people depend on it. Our goal is to provide solutions that perform when they are needed most.
Preparedness
We believe preparation creates resilience.
Many people only think about electrical systems when something fails. We help our customers prepare before problems occur through proactive planning, inspections, backup power solutions, maintenance programs, and thoughtful system design. Preparedness reduces stress, minimizes disruptions, and helps people remain productive when unexpected challenges arise.
Service
We exist to serve our customers, our community, and one another.
Our work is about more than electrical systems. It is about helping people solve problems, protect their families, support their businesses, and strengthen their communities. We seek to approach every interaction with humility, professionalism, and a servant’s mindset.
Craftsmanship
We take pride in delivering work that is safe, reliable, and built to last.
From troubleshooting and repairs to service upgrades, backup power systems, and solar installations, attention to detail matters. Quality workmanship creates long-term value, improves reliability, and helps ensure the systems our customers depend on continue performing for years to come.
Brand Promise
We help our customers make decisions that improve safety, reliability, and resilience — today and for years to come.
Electrical systems are long-term investments. Whether we’re troubleshooting a problem, upgrading a service, installing a generator, designing a battery backup system, or maintaining a solar array, our goal is not simply to complete a project. Our goal is to help our customers make informed decisions that improve the safety, reliability, and resilience of the systems they depend on every day.
