About Hurst

The full story

Locally owned and operated in Danville, KY — both trades under one roof.

Since 1946

A small-business way of taking care of people

Hurst Electric & Plumbing has been locally owned and operated in Danville and Harrodsburg for generations. What started as an electrical shop flourished because of its focus on taking care of these communities in a small-business way — one panel, one call, one house at a time across Boyle and Mercer County and the neighboring towns we still drive every week. We take pride in decades of that work, and in building a business of knowledgeable, efficient, and trustworthy technicians.

We know how important it is to trust the business protecting your most valuable assets: your family and your home. That is exactly why we added plumbing in 2025 — licensed plumbers under the same roof as our licensed electricians, so you never have to question who to call when a plumbing or electrical problem arises, or when both trades meet inside the same wall.

“For generations, Danville has trusted Hurst with the systems behind the walls. Today, one Hurst team handles both the power and the plumbing.”

How we earn trust

Credentials you can verify in person

Real facts only — no invented awards, license numbers, or 24/7 theater. What we publish matches how the shop actually runs.

Office hours, said plainly

8:00 AM – 5:00 PM. Priority for severe calls when crews are free — never a fake 24/7 promise that pads the bill.

Scope before work

What needs attention now, what can wait, and what it costs — in writing before tools come out. No-obligation estimates on planned projects.

Licensed both trades

Licensed electricians and licensed plumbers under one project owner — the same behind-the-walls standard on every qualifying job.

Learning Center authority

Guides written for Central Kentucky housing stock — panels, freezes, generators, drains — so neighbors can evaluate before they call.

What we stand for

Core values, written down

The rules the company runs on — on every job, in both trades. Not slogans. Constraints.

I.

Safety before speed

Live power, active water, gas smell, or an unsafe scene gets protected before diagnostics start. The clock never wins over the wire.

II.

Do the work behind the walls correctly

Handyman-grade materials fail three winters early — usually behind a wall that's now finished. We install for the life of the wall, not the life of the visit.

III.

One Hurst team owns the full project

One project owner, one household record, one schedule. You never have to be the go-between for two contractors whose work has to meet inside the same wall.

IV.

Explain the scope before starting

What needs attention now, what can be planned, what it will cost — in writing, before work begins. A verbal quote is how a $300 job becomes a $3,000 argument.

V.

Respect the home, schedule, and budget

Drop cloths and shoe covers. The time and price you were quoted. If something changes on-site, you hear about it before we change course — not after.

VI.

Build skilled trades careers locally

The plumbers and electricians we hire live in Boyle County and its neighbors. Skilled trades stay a real local career because we train and keep them here.

These are the constraints; the process that operationalizes them is the Hurst standard below.

Our story

Generations of work, one standard

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.

Doors open in Danville

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.

Still local. Still locally owned.

Today

The name behind the walls

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

Plumbing joins the house

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

Two trades, one Hurst standard

One household record, one phone number, one project owner — coordinated across both trades on every qualifying job, with scope in writing before work starts.

IVThe Hurst standard

The Hurst Standard

Done safely. Finished cleanly. Backed by Hurst.

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.

  1. 01

    Listen first

    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.

  2. 02

    Protect & make safe

    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.

  3. 03

    Inspect & diagnose

    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.

  4. 04

    Explain the scope

    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.

  5. 05

    Do the work right

    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.

  6. 06

    Test & close out

    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.
