The work
Forty years of equipment pads, bonding grids, and signed permits.
A pool’s electrical is rarely glamorous to look at. Subpanels, conduit, bonding lugs, pump controllers, GFCI disconnects. Done right, none of it ever becomes a conversation topic. That’s the job.

Meet the Priors
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.

Where we work
Connecticut and southern Massachusetts, on a good day's drive.
We stay close to home on purpose. It keeps callbacks quick and it keeps the crew on real job sites rather than in traffic.
We work throughout Connecticut—Hartford, New Haven, Fairfield, Litchfield, Middlesex, Tolland, and New London counties—and into southern Massachusetts, in the greater Springfield area of Hampden County.
If your pool is within a reasonable drive of our Berlin shop, we can be on site. Commercial and HOA work we’ll travel further for—call and ask.

Frequently asked
Questions homeowners actually ask us.
Bonding, permits, warranties, and what determines cost. If you need more detail, call Paul.
Full FAQNEC 680 is the section of the National Electrical Code that governs pools, spas, and fountains. The key idea: everything conductive within five feet of the water — rebar, rails, pump housings, the water itself — must be tied to the same ground potential, so current can't travel through a swimmer to find ground. Every pool we wire includes an equipotential bonding grid.Get in touch
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.
