about us

We’re small-town attitude. What’s small-town? The personality is Priority 1 Electric. Keep your word. Keep promises. Respect the life and time of others. A handshake is enough. You were taught to keep your side of the bargain.

Welcome to PRIORITY 1 ELECTRIC. Our early discussions about what we wanted as a service company brought about the creation of the company’s name. Discussions were based on a small- town restaurant that my mother and grandmother operated. I occasionally waited tables and washed dishes. The restaurant was called “chat and chew.”   I remember the customers not only knew each other but shared news and events. Lots of friendly conversation. When they needed something, they expect to be served. This is what we do. Priority 1 Electric is a 24/7 service company. I have the pleasure of answering the telephone each evening and on weekends. The phone number we have had since 1992 is 916-929-7995

We are now in our 33rd year of operation in the Sacramento Metro Area and doing well. Most difficult and troubling task is finding the employees that fit our personality and demeanor requirements. We are not construction orientated. We are classified as a small company, and plan to stay that way.

 

Our liability and auto insurance are provided by Federated Insurance. Our California contractor’s number is 657852.

We dare you to compare our Warranty with any other service contractor in the Sacramento Metro Area. Simply stated “I am the owner of Priority 1 Electric. I am so committed to my company’s work that if you are not satisfied with the workmanship, we will make it right or give you your money back, every penny. I will personally deliver it to you with an apology on behalf of everyone at our company. Our two Lead technicians have been with the company 8 and 14 years as of this date.

 

Since 2004, we send out 2700 – 3000 annual receipt calendars. This group represents our loyal customers. We want you to join our 5 star review honest

 

RESIDENTIAL SERVICE

SAFETY IS A MAJOR CONCERN.

          It is our obligation to ensure that your home is safe from not only electrical hazards but additional hazards we might notice while doing business with you. We are not handymen. Our electricians receive weekly training on personal safety, electrical code updates, electrical installation tips and education as well as customer service training.

          We use the following monthly publications. Electrical Construction and Maintenance, Electrical Contractor, Contracting Business, Charlie Greer’s Tech Daddy Customer Service System as well as Service Systen I developed based on my 35 years of electrical service history.

          1. Living better electrically today than ever before often results in overloaded circuits. Today’s lifestyle often and national electrical code requires panel upgrades.
          2. One or two dedicated circuits for todays modern equipment could make all the difference to your comfortable way of living.

            1. Some brands of older panels and circuit breakers have been declared unsafe by the Consumer Protection Agency.
            2. These older circuit breakers do not trip at the manufacturers rating. There have been many instances where the actual circuit tripping of the breaker exceeds the breaker rating by 75 -100% of the manufacture’s listed rating.
            3. We have replaced older panels because of this safety issue. Several insurance companies refuse to insure properties that have older circuit breakers and panels.

          8. SURGE PROTECTION
            1. Now a national electrical code requirement. Who would have ever thought of code protection in California. Lightening strikes are not that common here. The concern today is the California electrical grid. Aging infrastructure, maintenance issues, high temperatures and increased demand.
              1. Surge protection is protecting your assets from the electrical grid. The KW (kilowatt) demand is increasing and supply is lagging.
