About Us
Transworld Electric
In the second grade, James Ritter confidently told his teacher he wanted to be an electrician when he grew up. It wasn’t just childhood imagination—it was the spark of a lifelong passion.
James Ritter, a Charleston native, and founder of Transworld Electric, brings over 50 years of hands-on experience to the electrical industry. Since earning his Master Electrician’s License, James has been dedicated to raising the bar for safety, service, and quality. On September 20, 1987, Transworld Electric was born with a mission: to deliver exceptional electrical services and set new industry standards.
