Since 1908 to Today From the start, Dixie played an important role in the city. Teddy Roosevelt was president and for the first time, a ball was dropped in Times Square to celebrate New Year’s. The year was 1908 when Dixie opened its doors in Montgomery and began its long history in the community. It was a mere 20 years after a new kind of power began lighting up the city. A young man named Peter W. Crump saw electricity’s exciting potential and proceeded to form Montgomery’s first electrical contracting company. Dixie maintained Montgomery’s trolley system, the first electricity-powered streetcar system in the U.S. It installed wiring and performed electrical maintenance and repairs in homes and businesses around town. As the town grew and prospered over the next 10 decades, so did Crump’s company. Current presidents John & Noble Yelverton are proud of the history Dixie represents, and they conduct business with the same pride and tradition of service that their grandfather, J. Noble Crump adhered to for six decades. Serving as Vice President is Rodney King and former Vice President is Jimmy Jehle. As Dixie’s skilled electricians did their work in Central Alabama, we were often asked who we would recommend for plumbing, air conditioning, and heating services. It became clear to us there was a need for a high-quality, reliable, and fair-minded company to fill the demand. As a result, Dixie Electric and Plumbing was born in 2012, followed by Dixie Electric, Plumbing, and Air in 2014. Choose Dixie, and we will invest in you in return for your commitment to us. The investment includes competitive pay and benefits with continued training and an opportunity for advancement. Dixie’s philosophy is we can teach you how to do the job right. But we can’t teach you how to be a quality person. The Dixie family must have the integrity and professionalism our clients deserve. We have been serving Central Alabama for more than a century. We need highly motivated and service- oriented people who will work to maintain and build our legacy. If you fit that description, then we are looking for you!
