Local. Dependable. Family.

Our Story

It started with a dream.
After over 20 years working in the electrical business in Santa Barbara, Jeff Askew wanted more. He wanted to build a business with, and for, his family. More than just a company, a legacy. So in 2016, Jeff and his eldest son, Connor, started C.R. Electric Co. using his son's two first initials as inspiration.

Jeff also desired to build a business where employees came together to work through life’s difficulties, not just to work - where the company is like family. With a firm belief that happy employees make happy clients and that working at the company is more than just a job, he set out to build longevity in his workforce. C.R. Electric is building careers, not hiring workers.

CONNOR ASKEW

Being the son of an electrician allowed Connor to start learning the ropes of this business at age 13. From dedicating his spring and summer breaks to committing full time right out of high school has taught Connor what it means to be motivated, productive, and a quick thinker. Learning these skills throughout the years gave him the confidence and knowledge to be a partner in the business.
