Owner Jeff Balich stands next to one of Mr. Prime Electrical’s service vehicles

Mr. Prime Electrical provides a host of electrical services for clients in San Mateo County, including whole house rewiring and 200 amp panel upgrades. The company also installs and replaces smoke detectors, recessed LED lighting, and whole house surge protectors.

Family-owned and operated since 1970, Mr. Prime Electrical takes pride in offering detailed electrical contracting services to “thousands of satisfied customers,” says owner Jeff Balich, who acquired the company from his father, Martin, in 1995.

Mr. Prime Electrical’s customer service-oriented electricians are residential specialists who are trained in electrical repairs, remodels and installations. Also, the company adheres to a “Straight Forward Pricing™” policy that lets customers know a job’s price before work begins.

“We've been faithfully serving our clients since 1970, so we have a wealth of experience and desire to exceed their electrical needs. We're so confident in the quality of our work that we offer a 100 percent satisfaction guarantee. It's just another way to focus on the satisfaction of our customers and solidify our dedication to them.”

It’s crucial to keep your home’s electrical system in good working order.
The following checklist can provide homeowners with some basic knowledge of what to look for when assessing the electrical safety of their homes:

Inspect your main electrical service panel.
Check for rust, loose connections, poor installation, arcing, a burning smell, or water damage.

Walk the perimeter of your house.
Check for exposed wires and make sure all outlets are GFI-protected and have a waterproof cover. Make sure there’s adequate lighting near entries and exits.

Inspect your interior outlets.
Check for GFI-protected outlets in your kitchen, bathrooms and garage. Make sure all outlets are three-pronged and grounded, especially if you have electronic components plugged into them. Watch for any loose connections when you plug in a cord—if it’s overheating, it’ll smell or look burnt.

Inspect your interior smoke detectors.
Make sure you can locate them in your bedrooms and hallways and confirm they’re working properly. Change the batteries if necessary.

Also, check your garage, attic and crawl spaces for exposed wiring, and make sure circuits aren’t overloaded.

While the above list isn’t intended to be a substitute for a professional inspection, it can at least give you an idea about the condition of your home’s electrical system. If something concerns you, it’s in your best interest to contact a qualified electrician to do a professional inspection and make repairs where needed.

When looking for an electrician, it’s important to choose one with an established reputation backed by a track record of excellent service, trustworthiness and honesty. “Make sure they’re Diamond Certified, for one,” says Jeff Balich, owner of MJB Electrical Contractors in Burlingame. “Choose a quality contractor who you don’t have to worry about—one who will give you and your family the peace of mind you deserve.”

Ask about the experience of the company’s employees. Are they certified electricians who are skilled and highly-trained? Always do your homework to make sure the professionals to whom you entrust your family’s safety and well-being are properly certified and insured.

A job well done is something family-owned Mr. Prime Electrical strives to deliver every time, but according to owner Jeff Balich, the Burlingame-based company can offer customers much more than that. "I'd say we help them achieve peace of mind," he says. "We get the job done in a timely manner and are professional the entire time." This includes respecting property by taking measures to ensure work areas remain clean. Electricians wear booties when they come into a home and use tarps to prevent surrounding areas from getting dirty. When a job is finished, they always clean up after themselves.

Mr. Prime Electrical offers an extensive range of services, including electrical panel upgrades, home inspection, surge protection, GFI outlets, ceiling fans, recessed lighting, hot tub and spa wiring, and full rewiring of old homes and remodels (including knob and tube replacement). Its thorough knowledge of up-to-date codes and equipment guarantees clients' homes will be safer, says Mr. Balich.

Good communication is important to continuous customer satisfaction, so being honest and upfront with every client is important to Mr. Prime Electrical, and it begins with the bid process. "Instead of billing by the hour, we bill using the Straight Forward Pricing™ " guide, explains Mr. Balich. Simply put, charging by the job instead of by the hour means homeowners aren't surprised by the final bill. At the conclusion of each job, the company makes a follow-up call to the customer to assure they're completely satisfied.

Mr. Prime Electrical's commitment to its customers includes guaranteeing a thorough job that's backed by honesty and expertise. "Some companies cut corners by coming in with a lowball estimate," says Mr. Balich, "and then they raise the price once the contract is signed. They don't do the job properly, compromising safety and sometimes causing damage that we're later called in to fix. This ends up costing homeowners extra money." By contrast, he says, Mr. Prime Electrical has the reputation of doing jobs right the first time.

I thought they were extremely professional. Jeff is pretty smart. He wasn't pushy about selling more product. He asked questions about things he noticed. He was very smart about looking for other issues but not in a marketing kind of way.

Easy to deal with and reliable, he showed up when he said he was going to showed up, and he got the work done. Great customer service in that Jeff was very friendly and very personable. He never talked down to me. I use Diamond Certified vendors whenever I can.
