Our story
Hurst Electric & Plumbing is a locally owned Danville shop — not a franchise rollup trying to look local. The advantage is genuine history plus licensed plumbing and electrical under one roof.
1946
A local electrical shop opens its doors in Danville, Kentucky — building a reputation one house, one panel, one call at a time on the same Central Kentucky routes Hurst Electric & Plumbing still serves from Man O War Drive.
105 Man O War Dr·Danville, KY
Still local. Still locally owned.
Today
Decades of practical electrical work in Boyle County homes, farms, and small businesses — the quiet track record you only build one panel, one outage, one Saturday call at a time from the Danville shop.
2025
Hurst adds plumbing under the same roof, so the community never has to question who to call — licensed plumbers extending one behind-the-walls standard to a second essential trade.
Today
One household record, one phone number, one project owner — coordinated across both trades on every qualifying job, with scope in writing before work starts.
The Hurst Standard
Six checkpoints that turn a service call into a closed job. Every qualifying job runs the same six — from a fifteen-minute breaker swap to a full new-construction package.
01
What changed, and when? The symptom is a clue — but the story around it is usually the answer.
Skipped? Skip this and you get the “quick fix” that repeats within 90 days.
02
Live power, active water, or gas smell — the site gets safe before a single diagnostic starts.
Skipped? Diagnostics on an unsafe site is how a repair call turns into an insurance call.
03
We find the cause behind the wall — not just the failed component in front of it.
Skipped? Replacing the failed part without finding the cause is what makes the same fix cost twice.
04
What needs attention now, what can be planned, what it will cost — in writing, before work starts.
Skipped? A verbal quote is how a $300 job becomes a $3,000 argument.
05
Licensed hands, permitted work where code requires it, and materials rated to outlast the warranty.
Skipped? Handyman-grade materials fail three winters early — usually behind a wall that's now finished.
06
Connections, capacity, code, meter test, labeling, cleanup — verified before the truck leaves the driveway.
Skipped? Untested work is why a homeowner discovers the problem alone at 2 AM.
Two trades, one standard. Every Hurst technician — licensed electrician or licensed plumber — runs the same six checkpoints on every qualifying job. That is what “the Hurst standard” means when we say it: listen, make safe, diagnose, explain scope in writing, do the work right, then test and close out before the truck leaves.
Built right from the start
One Hurst project owner scopes the plumbing and electrical together, checks load, flow and capacity, plans the permits, and sequences coordinated installation through inspection and final walkthrough. Three of the patterns we ship most often are on the right.
Scope patterns Hurst actually delivers. Ask us to walk you through a recent one at your estimate.
Danville’s hard water
Our water travels through the same Kentucky limestone that bourbon distilleries prize — and picks up dissolved rock along the way. “Hard water” just means that rock is in your pipes, your shower, and your water heater, building up a little more every day.
How hard is Danville’s water?
Typical US city water
Danville water
more dissolved rock in every gallon
Sound familiar?
That’s all the same thing: hard water. It’s not your cleaning — it’s what’s in the water.

01
Water heaters are built to last 8–12 years. Around Danville, the mineral buildup inside them usually cuts that to 4–6. That's a $1,500+ appliance wearing out in half its life.
02
The same buildup clogs showerheads, crusts over faucets, and jams the small parts inside them — so fixtures that should last 8 years start failing at 3.
03
A whole-house water softener removes the minerals before they reach anything. Hurst sizes it to your household, installs it, and services it — and your appliances go back to living their full life.

Protect the Investment
Two scheduled-care programs for the equipment that fails hardest in Central Kentucky — and a payment path for the projects too big for a lump sum.
Own a tankless water heater?
Danville's hard water scales it up fast — an annual flush keeps it efficient and keeps the manufacturer warranty valid.
What’s included
$200/year per water heater
Have a standby generator?
A generator only matters if it starts during the outage — scheduled service is what keeps it ready.
What’s included
Priced for your unit — full program on the details page.
Planning a bigger project?
Panel upgrades, Generac standby packages, water heaters, and remodels don’t have to wait on a lump sum.
