About A-1 Appliances
Message From Russell C Larsen II – Owner
Our Story
A-1 Appliances has stood as a family-owned and operated business since 1984, proudly serving the community with reliable, quality appliances. It is an honor to continue the legacy that began over four decades ago, rooted in hard work, dedication, and a passion for helping others.
Growing Up in the Appliance World
My connection to the refurbished appliance industry began at a young age. Raised in Lockport, New York, I practically grew up in the aisles of my mother’s local appliance store. By the age of three, I was already immersed in the world of refurbished appliances, absorbing knowledge and hands-on skills from my mother, who was not only a business owner but also a mentor and role model.
As soon as I could hold a wrench, I was taking apart appliances and learning the intricacies of their mechanics. My responsibilities grew with each passing year, from assisting with deliveries to eventually handling service work. This early foundation instilled in me a deep appreciation for the trade and the importance of customer service.
Serving Our Country and Honing My Craft
At the age of 18, I enlisted in the Air Force, where I further expanded my skills as an electrician and HVAC technician, working on a variety of aircraft. My eight years of service provided invaluable experience in troubleshooting, repair, and a commitment to excellence—qualities that continue to influence my work today.
Returning Home and Renewing Commitment
After completing my service, I returned home to once again support the family business. I spent several more years doing service work, reconnecting with our loyal customers and ensuring their appliances met the highest standards for safety and performance.
Bringing Skills and Hospitality to North Tonawanda
When the opportunity arose to strike out on my own, I embraced the chance to bring my expertise and personal approach to North Tonawanda. With years of hands-on experience and a lifetime of learning, I am committed to offering quality used appliances and outstanding customer service to meet the needs of our growing community.
Looking Forward
At A-1 Appliances, our mission is simple: to provide dependable, affordable appliances while treating every customer like family. I am excited to continue this journey, upholding the values that have guided our business since 1984 and helping households throughout the area find solutions that truly work for them.
