Excellent service! I had a faulty working propane stove that was never set up correctly by the previous home owner and A-1 came out and fixed it and it works perfectly now. Technician was great and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend the Placerville A-1.

Great service and friendly staff. I came in looking for a small bracket part for my dishwasher. They had me in and out of there in less than 60 seconds with exactly what I needed. I would highly recommend.

Absolutely the best place to find anything you need for propane. And extremely affordable

Haven't purchased yet but I'm amazed by the knowledge of Katie. She knows her appliances and what will fit where. Zero sales pressure, just good advice. Prices are as good as the big box stores and they handle any warranty claims instead of pushing you to deal with the manufacturers. It pays to shop local!

My oven stopped working. First people I called were a flake. Called up Edward’s, they showed up on time and prepared to do the job. They had it done in 20 minutes and the oven works like a dream.

After being very disappointed with home depot who refuse to deliver to our home, and have ridiculous prices we decided to use A1 for our new refrigerator, and we are very impressed. The prices were great, they delivered, installed and hauled away the old one. They were very friendly and professional and had a great amount of options. We will be using them for now on.
