POWER OF ATTORNEY

For Executing Forms 3, 4 and 5, Form 144 and Schedules 13D and 13G

        Know all men by these presents that the undersigned hereby constitutes
and appoints William L. Fiedler, signing singly, the undersigned's true and
lawful attorney-in-fact to:

(1)	execute for and on behalf of the undersigned (a) Forms 3, 4 and 5 (including
  amendments thereto) in accordance with Section 16(a) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules thereunder, (b) Form 144 and (c) Schedules
13D and 13G (including amendments thereto) in accordance with Sections 13(d) and
  13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules thereunder.

(2)	do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned that
may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such Form 3, 4 or 5,
Form 144 of Schedule 13D or 13G (including amendments thereto) and timely file
such Forms or Schedules with the Securities and Exchange Commission and any
stock exchange, self-regulatory association or any other authority; and

(3)	take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the
foregoing that, in the opinion of each such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit
to, in the best interest of, or legally required of the undersigned, it being
understood that the documents executed by the attorney-in-fact on behalf of the
undersigned pursuant to this Power of Attorney shall be in such form and shall
contain such terms and conditions as the attorney-in-fact may approve in the
attorney-in-fact's discretion.

        The undersigned hereby grants to each attorney-in-fact full power and
authority to do and perform all and every act and thing whatsoever requisite,
necessary or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and powers
herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as the undersigned might or
  could do if personally present, with full power of substitution or revocation,
  hereby ratifying and confirming all that the attorney-in-fact, or the
attorneys-in-fact substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully do or cause to be
done by virtue of this Power of Attorney and the rights and powers herein
granted.  The undersigned acknowledges that the foregoing attorneys-in-fact, and
  their substitutes, in serving in such capacity at the request of the
undersigned, are not assuming (nor is Integrated Electrical Services, Inc.

  the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  The undersigned agrees that each such
attorney-in-fact may rely entirely on information furnished orally or in writing
  by the undersigned to the attorney-in-fact.

        This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the
undersigned is no longer required to file Forms 3, 4 and 5, Form 144 and
Schedules 13D and 13G (including amendments thereto) with respect to the
undersigned's holdings of and transactions in securities issued by Integrated
Electrical Services, Inc., unless earlier revoked by the undersigned in a signed
  writing delivered to the foregoing attorneys-in-fact.  This Power of Attorney
does not revoke any other power of attorney that the undersigned has previously
granted.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to
  be executed as of the date written below.
