Peak Electrical

I had the pleasure of dealing with John today from this company. Although it was not an emergency situation, John was at my home with an hr and a half of me contacting him. He located the issue and resolved it quickly. I would recommend him and his company to anyone.

So I was having some sort of electrical crisis in my home office. For some reason, half of the outlets and switches stopped working. I don't know much about electrical type stuff, but it was most inconvenient because I was facing a deadline! I called Peak Electrical and scheduled an appointment for the same day. They were an hour late but called to let me know they were running behind schedule. Once they arrived, they did a very thorough diagnostic and found the source of the faulty wiring. They made a huge effort to patiently explain the problem to me which was considerate of them. The next day, they brought back parts, tested everything, made sure everything was working to my satisfaction. They offered to come back at no charge if I had any other problems. I liked working with them. They seem patient, fair, trustworthy. And they did not charge too much either--which was surprising considering how much time they spent getting it right. Seem like good guys and I would use them again.

They came to my house within 2 hours and found the problem right away. Father and son team were so nice and explained everything they were doing. So thankful for their work and availability.

We had Dakota put in three ceiling fans in our new house. Great job, great price. He gave us a quote that stayed the same. Very professional. I think Dakota is being groomed to take over his dad's business.

We just moved into our new home in Oakley and found we had a faulty electrical socket. When I replaced the socket the circuit breaker tripped and I couldn't get it to reset. It was late, after 9 PM, and I figured I'd have to wait until morning to speak with an electrician. I found Peak Electrical on Yelp and called and left a voicemail and got a call back 5 minutes later. The person on the phone, Dakota, listened carefully and said if it was an emergency he'd come right out even though it was now almost 10 PM but I said we could wait a few hours and scheduled the appointment for the next morning. Dakota called 20 minutes before he was scheduled to arrive to let me know he was on his way. He showed up a few minutes early and had the problem diagnosed and fixed in less than 20 minutes. He charged a very reasonable fee, having not worked with an electrician for many years it was actually less than I feared, plus he spent extra time reviewing some other issues I had. Dakota actually made a stressful situation enjoyable. After the appointment, Dakota's dad John, the owner of Peak, called to make sure everything went well. I assured him it did. In just one encounter I know Peak is a good contractor and has good people running it. I'll be doing some home electrical projects in the next few months and Peak will get all of my business.

First and foremost, do not let these people in your house, at all.

I simply needed a single outlet replaced and the recent heat wave only exacerbated the problem, causing an entire wall of outlets and switches to not work, which affected some major appliances that I needed working.

I called Peak b/c my go to guy was unavailable and I saw the A+ rating/BBB cert on their website (which I now think is probably fraudulent), spoke to Dakota, who quoted me $75/hr but at a 2hr minimum. We set an appointment for later in the day (they were late and did not call me to say so).

When they arrived, we started talking about the problem and they (both dad and son) started running around my house and taking things apart. Did I mention they haven't even given me an estimate of what the job would entail yet?

After all of 40 minutes, John, the dad, says to me, ""I don't know what you were told over the phone but it's going to be $225 + 5 more if paying with card, and he tried to play it like I was getting a discount!

At this point I just wanted them out of my house. Yes, they fixed the problem, but tipping yourself an extra $50, a little egregious don't you think?

Oh yeah, I already had a replacement outlet (parts) ready to go, so no trips (gas) to the hardware store, so how does that add up to 225 f*ing dollars??

Also, while Dakota, the son, who actually did the work, I kept seeing John kinda peeping around my house which made me extremely uncomfortable. I should have stopped the BS right there.

I paid with a check, and they asked I make it out to the son. Hello??? Not the company??? Which means probably not recorded on their company books.

So dishonest....

Let my experience serve you well in making your decision to use these guys (or not).

I would recommend him to complete your electrical problems. He was affordable, good customer service, and he completed some work for my electrical panels on my house. Oakley locals should use him for any electrical issues.

I was having the dreading smoke dector chirping after changing all of the batteries. I had given up and was willing to hire someone to just fix it as I had to turn it off breaker to avoid the noise . Not only was that unsafe, it also meant one of my survilience cameras was off as well as my sprinkler system.

When I called Peak Electrical I spoke with John and was ready to book an appointment. He suggested I first try a few things. He told me to buy Lithium 10 year batteries and tried to find the model number. He also suggested I purchase a compressed air can to clean out the dectors.

A few moments later he called back and left a voicemail with the battery model number. I purchased the above items and all is peaceful and back to normal No more chirping. Thank you John for your outstanding customer service and going the extra mile. Not only in getting me the battery model number but more importantly saving me a service call and related expenses.

I have added you to my phone contacts list and your number will be the first I call for my future electrical needs.

Thanks Again!

We were recommended to John from Peak Electric to consult us on a electrical hookup for our new hot tub spa.

Upon calling him, he was very friendly and accommodating.

He came out to do an initial walkthrough and pointed out not only his recommendations for the initial spa hookup, but also recommended a service upgrade at the p.o.c. at meter to street connection as it was outdated, not within current code if the house was sold and ultimately posing of a safety hazard if overloaded by too much demand of multiple appliances. This upgrade should have been done years ago by the property owner.

Although we did not go with John, due to the property owner insisting upon going with their 'preferred' electrician, we would have gone with John any day for the following reasons:

1. John was honest and experienced in his recommendations.
2. John was timely and kind.
3. John was cordial and understanding that sometimes others can screw up plans to acquire a good contractor to go with their 'preferred' Good Ol' Boys, although John was spot on with price and scope of work.

Ultimately we would hire John any day if we had ultimate say and we think if you're looking for a good electrician in the East Bay, that you ought to consider him as well.

Super Impressed With John from Peak Electrical

Had a problem with my outdoor receptacle box and he suggested a few possible solutions that might solve my problem.

His suggestion worked and I got all my power outlets to work again.

I thanked him for his help and he didn't want anything in return except to keep his number in case anything else came up in the future.

Thanks John
