Carr & Duff Our Beginning

 

Mr. Edward Duff began working as a lineman at the Philadelphia Electric Company in 1949. In 1958, Ed and fellow PECO lineman foreman Harold (Hap) Carr founded Carr & Duff with a vision to fulfill the electrical construction needs of Philadelphia’s burgeoning suburbs.

From humble beginnings – with one line truck, Carr & Duff earned utility, city and state contract work. Carr & Duff became a National Electrical Contractors Association member and International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers member in 1978. The company has become a premier electrical contractor in the Greater Philadelphia and Tri-State Area.

Carr & Duff is a family owned business with 60 years of electrical construction excellence serving not just the Philadelphia Metropolitan Area but has served utilities and customers throughout states up and down the East Coast.

Carr & Duff provides our employees and customers with SAFETY FIRST! We don’t just talk safety, we live it every day. We are a market place leader in providing value added electrical construction services to our commercial, institutional, utility and industrial clients. We understand successful electrical construction needs to be not only reliable and affordable but at Carr & Duff we offer a superior level of service as well.

We’ve set the Industry Standard
