A specialty trade, kept small on purpose.
Priority Electric opened in 1986. Two brothers, one phone number, and a specialty that has anchored the business from the start: the electrical work where water and power meet. We also handle residential and commercial electrical, but pool and spa work is what built our reputation.
Paul and Michael Prior have been answering this phone for forty years.
Priority Electric opened in 1986, and Paul and Michael both still work in the business day to day. Paul’s specialty is designing and planning large-scale commercial projects and landscape lighting. Michael’s is repairing pool equipment, automation systems, and automatic pool covers, plus specialty machine wiring.
Most of our crew has been with us more than a decade. That matters on a pool job: bonding mistakes don’t show up at inspection, they show up in ten years.
for our field crew
Ten full-time electricians. Twelve-year average tenure.
Priority Electric employs ten full-time licensed electricians. Most have been with us more than a decade. We don’t subcontract the pool and spa work — every circuit we run is pulled by someone on our crew.
We participate in the Connecticut Electrical Apprenticeship Program, training the next generation of licensed electricians under our journeymen. That’s how we keep the crew steady: we grow it from the inside.

The way you’d want your electrician to work.
We write itemized estimates. We pull permits. We meet the inspector. We hand you the signed paperwork. When the inspector wants a change, we call you before we do anything.
Pool and spa electrical is scheduled work — planned and permitted in advance rather than rushed. Taking the time to get the bonding and grounding right is the whole point.
Every circuit we run is pulled by someone from our crew. Most of them have been with us more than a decade.
Pick up the phone. That’s how this works.
Estimates are free. Paul usually answers, and if he can’t, he calls back the same day. We book one to three weeks out for residential work; commercial timelines vary.
