Read more about Rick and Judy Meer goals when starting Meer Electric. Initially Meer started in Roswell Georgia, but since then Meer Electric has branched out into homes, and businesses in Milton, Alpharetta, Sandy Springs, Dunwoody and Cumming and other cities around the 400 corridor.

The article also addresses the range of various of services that cause Meer Electric to stand out as a community favorite Electrical Company. Services include standard electrical installation, maintenance and repair, but they also offer weather siren installation, directional drilling and other public electrical services like light pole repair and time clock installation.

Here is to another 40 years of success and excellence for Meer Electric!

December 6th 2019 – Thanks to Meer Electric the holiday season Downtown Alpharetta was lit beautifully. There was two lightings this year; the traditional 55-foot live spruce tree in Ole Milton Park with over 40,000 twinkling lights, and a beautiful 25-foot tree sculpture on the Town Green opposite the main stage at the same time. Celebration was filled the downtown streets with musical performances, falling snow, photos with Santa, restaurants and food trucks, roasting marshmallows, a holiday market and more!

In the heat of day on Saturday, July 30, 2016, Meer Electric and 11 of their employees volunteered their time and talent in support of our country’s disabled veterans through the Gary Sinise Foundation.  R.I.S.E. -Restoring Independence Supporting Empowerment program from the Foundation provides specially adapted smart homes, home modifications, mobility devices, and adapted vehicles to America’s most severely wounded heroes and their families.  Along with Meer Electric, four of IEC’s Partner Members donated the wire and devices, and included Vallen Distribution, Inc., Legrand, Square D, and Southwire.

This is the first of two Gary Sinise Foundation homes that Meer Electric wired.  In the past they have also wired homes for Habitat for Humanity and Homes for Our Troops.  When I asked Rick Meer why he got involved with this project, he simply stated, “It’s just the right thing to do.”  Rick said his father had instilled in him the value of patriotism and pride in our country.  Many of us feel a great pride in our country, but it’s a whole other thing to actually put the action behind that feeling, and it was clearly evident when I witnessed the amount of positive energy from the entire Meer staff on Saturday.  Included in the staff was Rick’s son Peter Meer, Supervisor Richard McClure, two IEC 3rd year apprentices; Robert Snodgrass and Rich McMahan, IEC graduate Matt Blankinship.

“Thank you Rick Meer and all those who volunteered to support our country’s veterans!”

Not all students are destined to university. Some simply do not see their future including such degrees. Meer Electric, a Alpharetta-based company, took on one student. Peter Meer said these students could be a great asset to his company. “We have more success with hiring kids and training them to do things how we want it done than hiring someone off the street who didn’t start off in the trade,” Meer said. Bad habits are hard to break, he added. By having the opportunity to shape good habits early, Meer said it was invaluable.
