I just had an above ground pool installed in my backyard and needed to hire an electrical contractor to handle all the wiring for it. After calling around I was referred to Priority Electric, and now I see why. These guys were awesome! Matt and his crew were top-notch. They were knowledgeable, efficient and very polite. They even went above and beyond in helping redirect an outlet in my kitchen after they finished wiring the pool. Turned out it was a more complicated job than initially expected, but they got it done! I would highly recommend Priority Electric to anyone who needs electrical work done. Thanks guys!

A 3 man crew came out to provide electrical service to my above ground pool. They were prompt, professional, knowledgeable and so very polite. Their work was precise and each of them took the time to answer all of my questions. I highly recommend!

Paul helped install the electrical components to our pool and backyard setup over 6 years ago and did a great job. We recently had a question about a setting on the pool heater and instead of charging us for a tech to visit (which he easily could have done), he instead got his specialist on the phone and walked us through the issue, solving our problem in a matter of minutes. Small things make a big difference.

There aren't enough words to express how satisfied I am with my experience! Priority Electric came out to my house and did an excellent job with my pool installation. All of his employees were the epitome of professionalism. This is a fabulous company and I plan to use them for all my electrical needs!

Priority Electric did fantastic work on the gas and electric for our new pool and for our new outdoor kitchen. From the office staff to the crew that was here, everyone was very responsive and focused on our project. Paul carefully thought through the options for running the gas lines, wiring the lights, etc. and made recommendations for the best approach.

He was willing to explain things to me along the way, so I have an understanding of how everything is setup. When our outdoor kitchen was almost ready to use, Paul came out at the last minute on the Friday of a holiday weekend to ensure our gas grill was fully hooked up and operational for our party that weekend!

I've been a Priority Electric customer for years. They've done many projects inside my home and installed beautiful landscape lighting. Their service is above and beyond. In one specific example, I was in a panic with guests coming and a hot tub not powering on. I called after hours and Paul walked me through how to fix it on the phone and made sure we were all set. Many thanks!

This was my first experience with Priority Electric, I will absolutely use them again. They were recommended by my pool company to do the electrical and gas work. They were professional, efficient, and responsive. The office was fantastic about scheduling and communications with updates. The work had to be done in two parts with the gas company coming in the middle to upgrade a meter.

There was a delay with the gas company (no fault of Priority at all, just scheduling around a holiday), and as soon as the gas company was done, Priority came right back in to finish the job to make sure we kept on schedule with other components of our project. They completely understood how important this was to us. I'm so glad these guys were recommended to us, a wonderful first experience, we'll definitely call them again.

I couldn't be happier with the work that I had done with Priority Electric. I had electrical work done for my inground swimming pool that was installed. The office staff were very helpful and made sure I got put in the schedule as soon as possible. They did a good job communicating with me and their ETA to the job. Kizito, Kevin, and Tommy were very professional and proficient. I would highly recommend Priority Electric as the electricians to install you electrical for your pools!

I thank so very much Priority Electric Inc and it's owner Mr. Paul Prior, and I will share how I was so wonderfully helped. I got home in the end of the day, and the life of one of my fellow neighbors was in a extremely dangerous situation. I needed the electric power back urgently. So, I called Priority Electric that by that hour was closed already.

Through their automated service I was able to reach the emergency service. Mr Paul Prior answered me promptly, surprisingly me so very much with his great and faster understanding unexpected, with his kindness, professionalism, and leadership, solving my problem completely in less than 3 hours! Wow! In less than 3 hours the electric power back and also my fellow neighbor safe again. GREAT JOB PRIORITY ELECTRIC INC! Congratulations.

I cannot say enough about how great Mike and his entire crew are! They recently installed a new automatic cover and coordinated with another contractor to oversee the installation of new coping for the pool. They were superb at coordinating the work, getting here exactly when they said they would. The are meticulous and theirattention to detail is excellent.

And Diana, who manages scheduling and everything at the office, is just superb as well. I plan to continue using them for all my related pool needs and recommend them very very highly.

I hired Priority Electric to install a front overhead door light fixture as well as a sensor light above the garage. This went ok and had no complaints. I had them back to install the electric for my above ground pool. I have no complaints about the work but they did damage my lawn. The damage was caused by them making a turn on my lawn instead of the street with the "Ditch Witch" trencher they used.

They asked me to take pictures of the damage and email them. They then took a month to get back to me and tell me that they could not prevent this damage. If they had just went straight out to the street instead of turning the equipment on the lawn, the damage would not have occurred. They seem to do good work but don't expect much if they damage something along the way.
