Description


No job too small, no challenge too great! Keeping homes safe and comfortable with reliable electrical service. We only do work in existing homes and small businesses. It's different from commercial and industrial work. Over 25 years, we've seen many different situations that require experience in working in homes and working with homeowner schedules. We schedule the work with you and call as we head over. (We can call your work or cell number also so you're not stuck at home waiting.)

HISTORY


Established in 1986.
I first did electrical work during college summers. After 5 years working doing corporate staff work for AT&T, I realized I liked the quick results with contracting work. Customers gave great feedback when they understood our policy of No job too small, no challenge too great! 25 years later, we still enjoy our relationships with homeowners and have always found that being responsive and doing good work was recognized and appreciated. Our goal is making homes safe and comfortable.

ABOUT BUSINESS OWNER


We thrive on the relationships we have with our customers. I think good relationships are what build a good business.

I had them replace an old federal Pacific panel with a new panel. Polite people. on time. First thing they did was tarp the floor. Both electricians names were Paul. They removed all old wiring, panel and meter box. They swept and cleaned inside and out. They did little things like making phone and cable wires( not their responsibility) tied wrap and looking neat, making the job look even better. The price was right where I thought it should be.
Would I use then again? Yes I would. Would I refer them to a friend? Yes I would.
Should you call them? I think so.

A-1 Electric is friendly, responsive, quick, reasonably priced, professional and they do excellent work. A rare company that engenders confidence and trust that they want to do a good job for a reasonable price. Communication is superb.

I have used A-1 over the past 20+ years for all electrical work on my home.  Paul and his team are the most professional, clean and capable group I have ever worked with.  Whether it was new lighting in my living room or a complete electrical system upgrade - It all went great and I'm enjoying my home more every day.  I highly recommend A-1.  Hire the best and never worry about the work.

I needed an electrician's advice ASAP and the review said response time was 2 hours.  I called at 8:30am and got a call back at 5:30pm.  By then, another electrician had saved the day.  The woman who called was very friendly and said she was glad everything worked out.  I appreciated the call, but they need to change their response time.

Paul was fantastic in addressing an electrical issue where my AC was not turning on.  I was in a jam with a young family on a hot summer day and he graciously spent his time patiently going through all the things that could be the issue and helped resolve the issue.  Extremely friendly and a gentleman.  I have found my go-to electrician.  Thank you!!

Thank you gentlemen very much!!! Each light had crystals that needed to be delicately placed, no complaints. Tight fit in the hallway but you got it done!!! I thought placing a new box and then finding someone to do the sheet rock in the kitchen would be tough but all in one and it looks great. Cyndi kept me in the loop on the date and time. Can also pay online, so easy. I know who ask for help to make my bright ideas a reality.

Always A-1 service and knowledge.   Estimates were true to charges.  Paul came back, no charge to drill a hole that PC Richards said they don't do. I have used this company before and have been very satisfied.

Outstanding service and professionalism.  No one does electrical work better than Paul, attention to detail, knowledge, and customer service.

Called and talked to Paul Hampton (the owner), explained the job and he told me how they're sooooo different from other contractors that do things like not show up. He sent a text and e-mail that said Remember, you don't have to wait at home.   We make a heads-up call as we head over so you can meet us.  We call the home and cell numbers usually 20-30 minutes ahead. The email had two attached PDF's, as if they are so organized and a signature that said No Job Too Small, No Challenge Too Great.

No call ahead - the guy did show up a little late. I spent my valuable time going over everything that was required and everything appeared fine.

Never gave an estimate - just wasted my time.

All the e-mails and hype amount to nothing. Just knuckleheads.

I've been using A1 Electric for over 10 years for all my electrical needs and and for the last 2 years they have also been doing maintenance on my generator. Their work is excellent, their pricing is very fair a nd if you have an emergency or even if you do not they come usually the same day- very reliable. Usually Paul comes here but no matter who they send they do a great job. I highly recommend them.

I filled out an inquiry on Yelp and A1 was quick to respond to my inquiry. They helped me arrange a time for an electrician to come in and give me a quote.  When the electrician came and took a look at my situation, he said he will give me quotes for 2 scenarios.  Everything was going smooth. What happened next is why I am giving them 1 star.

It was the Monday after Thanksgiving. I asked A1 to please send me their quotes because I was having my TV delivered in a few days, and I wanted A1 to come in before my TV arrived.  They sent me the quote a day later. After I reviewed the quote, I asked them to simply make an adjustment and to please resend the quote.  It has been several days and I have yet to hear from them. I went ahead and hired somebody else.

Everyone at A-1 is outstanding from Cyndy in the office to electricians Paul and Jason. They are professional, punctual, and extremely neat.  We recommend them highly!

They changed the battery for my CO monitor quickly, so thanks. However, for future services, without any particular reason when we have only used them once, they refused to come.
Horrible service!

Recently I had a small electrical crisis. My circulating pond's pump was not working and fish in pond were not getting needed O2. I called A-1. They were at my house in 30 minutes. Problem was quickly diagnosed and defective outdoor outlet was replaced. Fish were saved. Reasonable  charge for the work. Paul found other outlets not functioning but I limited Paul to the one pond pump outlet. Later I learned that Paul misinterpreted the limitation and believed I was unhappy with his work. Not so!

I called A-1 electric to fix several outlets that were not working.  Cyndy answered the phone and was amazing. She handled all of my needs and gave me information on how to reset the electrical outlets as well and how to fix and reset my garbage disposal. She saved me a lot of money. She was very friendly and courteous. I truly appreciate the help that she gave me. I highly recommend A-1 electric. I have used them in the past for actual service and they were on time and inexpensive.

I first dealt with A-1 Electric many years ago, when a monster snowstorm knocked down tree branches that, in turn, ripped the power feed off the side of our house.  Fortunately, the phone worked--so I called our friends in New Providence who had said good things about their electrician.  They referred us to A-1.  I called them Saturday afternoon while the snow was still coming down.

They called me back Saturday night.  Sunday morning, in 18 inches of snow, they came and spent most of the day reattaching our feed wires.  Among other things, this involved making new conduit, removing and replacing the electric meter, reattaching the wires at the roof, and so on--all outdoors in the dead of winter.  Because of that, we were able to get our power back on Monday.

Since then we've gone to them twice, both times for small, tricky jobs involving switches, one of which included snaking wires into a wall from the attic.  That time they didn't have switches in the right color, so they installed switches in a slightly different color, then came back and swapped them for the right ones at no extra charge when the right ones came in.

The third time they gave me an estimate in the form of a price range.  The actual invoice was much closer to the bottom of the range than it was to the top.

In all cases they came when they said they would, did what they said they would, completely cleaned up after themselves, are conducted themselves like professionals in every respect.  Definitely worth recommending without hesitation.

The A-1 electricians who came and installed LED spot lights in several rooms in my house and did other electrical repairs were first rate professionals. In particular, I kept changing what I wanted them to do because I didn't realise how powerful the LED lights would be--so I wound up installing far fewer than I originally contracted for. None of this was a problem-Paul just kept saying, We want to make you happy. You have to live with it. Take your time to figure out what you want.
Highly recommended.
