The SALT Story

SALT was formed in 1984. We started out small but strong-minded, performing parking lot lighting maintenance and repair. Kathleen and John McCarthy acquired this company in 2008. They expanded the company to include electrical contracting services, new construction, remodeling, and sign installation and repair.

Our commitment to customer satisfaction and community service, combined with prompt, professional service, has been rewarded with strong growth in our business. SALT has been certified as a Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) by the state of Texas. We represent the best of Central Texas when it comes to residential and commercial electrical and lighting service.

Apprentices are trained at the Central Texas Chapter of the Independent Electrical Contractors (Centex IEC), the premier education, training & mentoring program for contractors & electricians.
