Who are we?

     Moving to Pahrump on January 5th, 1981, the Childress family has a long history with the Pahrump Valley. After years at the test site, Loney Childress Sr. started Continental Electric in 1990, changing it to Childress Electric Company in 1991. Childress Electric became the name of quality electrical work in the valley and the surrounding areas. After his passing in 2001, his sons Loney Childress and Bradd Childress reopened Childress Electric Company in the mid-2000s. Since its closing, the Childress brothers have gone on to work at locations such as McCarran International Airport, the Nevada Test Site and Nellis Range, gold mines, factories, power plants, hospitals, sewer treatment plants, and Strip hotels to name a few. 

     We are proud to announce that the Childress brothers are back.  Now as American Electric LLC, we are bringing our experience and love for the industry back to Pahrump and the surrounding areas. Pahrump has been our home for over 35 years and we are proud to once again offer our services to the home we love.

Why hire us? Wouldn’t a contractor from Las Vegas do a better job?

  • Our electricians do not have to charge travel time to and from Las Vegas; we live in Pahrump.

  • Our electricians have Clark County Journeyman and Master Electrician cards;
you will not get a higher quality technician from the big city.

  • Our electricians grew up in Pahrump.  We know the area.

  • Our owner and superintendent have over 50 years of combined experience.

  • We know the field, keep up with technological changes, and stay on the cutting edge.

  • We care about our customers, our community, and our neighbors.

American Electric LLC is ready to take on any task. Whether you need a receptacle added in your backyard or a complex motor controller in your factory, we have the experience to get the job done.
