Primos Electric

A few months ago, one of my my hard-wired smoke alarms went particularly insane over a 12 hour period, and I could NOT make it happy no matter how many fresh batteries I fed it. Exasperated as the ear-splitting beeps shifted into constant mode, I jumped on Yelp to find I-didn't-know-who-or-what to come make it stop, no matter the consequences. Primos had good reviews so I gave David a call, and I caught him in the car on his way somewhere. He couldn't come for a few hours by which time I thought I'd surely have offed myself in desperation.

Acknowledging my pain with no promise of anything for himself, he very calmly talked me down and walked me through each step to at least make the noise stop. He spent about 30 minutes on the phone with me as I struggled to wrench the machine from my ceiling and then, mercifully, press the button a final time to hear it whir its blessed death rattle. We talked about replacing all of them (it was time), but there was covid, and I could live without one of my 5 alarms. He didn't pressure me or ask for any money though I offered. But I did put him in my contacts so I wouldn't forget him when the time came.

A few weeks ago, 2 more alarms died in quick succession (but I knew what to do to stop the madness!) so I decided it was time. I gave David a call, and we agreed on the 10 year machines with 10 year lithium batteries. To be honest, I didn't compare prices--he'd helped me out, and I felt loyalty to him. He did say he gave me a discount, and I do know these things are not cheap. He installed them, and he says they are better quality than what I had (they say they'll last 2-4 years longer, and I'm not expecting to go away for the weekend and return to find my cat in a straight jacket from 48 hours of ear-screeching torment b/c one battery went dead in a HARD WIRED system). I am very pleased with him and his work. He was flexible, and he's a very nice guy.

I haven't had a go-to electrician in this house, but I do now. He handles all kinds of electrical issues, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. In fact, I already have to a few other people besides yourself.

It's so rare in this age and in this social climate for a stranger to just step up and be nice with no promise of reward. That used to be what people did, but it's been a long time since I've experienced that. Perhaps that's why his kindness was so memorable and I was so grateful for it. Such an attitude should always be rewarded. And he just happened to be good at what he does as well.

Talk about an amazing experience!  I had the pleasure of meeting David and having him install recessed lighting in my home.  David was thorough during installation as he meticulously measured the areas and asked me to confirm the placement prior to him cutting into the sheetrock.  If you are in the market for electrical work, PRIMOS is the way to go.

David and JoeRay are AWESOME!!! They found so many things wrong with the initial electrical installation on my home that I was shocked. And this wasn't even what they come out for. David advised that I had fire hazards with wrong wiring in my electrical
box and he fixed them at no cost. Their pricing is PER JOB and not by the hour. I had a quote from another company to install a Ring Doorbell that was 5x the price as Primos. NOT KIDDING. 5X higher. I will be having them back soon to do more electrical work and I have my electrician for life!! Thank you David and JoeRay for an amazing experience!!

So thankful we found Dave when we did considering the faulty wiring we now know we have in our 10 year old house. He showed up promptly, was extremely thorough, showed us what was good with the wiring and what wasn't (actual burn marks behind outlets!), did great work and his pricing was very fair. Highly recommend!!
