Peak Electrical

Rosalie S.

Our faulty microwave tripped the circuit breaker and somehow the switch would not turn on again. It was stuck in the Off position. No microwave, no stove either. I called Peak Electrical after reading reviews about his work and was impressed by his honesty and kindness. John answered the phone immediately. I sent him pictures of the circuit breaker, he isolated the problem, and walked me through fixing the problem. Making money is not his thing. Apparently helping people is what he likes to do. We need more electricians like John. Definitely worth calling again.

John is an electrician you can trust. Believe me, we've tried others who tried to take advantage of us. John is the only one we'll use now. We highly recommend his services

It was a late Friday night and we were having an electrical emergency. John answered our call and step by step over the phone was able able to walk us through restoring the power to our house. He was patient and extremely knowledgeable. If you're looking for an electrician that cares, John's your guy. We thought we'd be in the dark without electricity for the rest of the night if not the whole weekend until somebody could come out a take a look the following week or pay hundreds of dollars in after hour or emergency fees. And believe me we tried everything before we started calling for help. John fixed our problem and didn't even ask for money for his time, advice, and expertise. We owe him big time and he has earned our business forever. I wish I could give him more than 5 stars.

Called Tobin Peak who is in Santa Clara (408-615-9220) for a job that was required to be done quickly. We needed to have a plug grounded for a machine that was to support a home dialysis machine. Tobin came at the time scheduled and it was done efficiently. He was very generous with his time and gave us several helpful tips. Will use Tobin again on other electrical issues.

Called John after having some electrical issues around 6pm in the evening. He seemed very nice. I called him specifically because his business stated he was open till 10pm. He claimed to be 24 hrs, but balked a bit about coming out that evening. I clearly explained to him my wife was working nights, and i needed him to come out early the following morning so she could go to sleep by 10am. Some of the outlets not working are our bedroom. I assumed the job would be his first of the day. He agreed to come out between 8am-8:30am. He texted me at 8:15 am saying he was delayed and couldn't arrive till 10am or later. He left me in a bind. I cannot do business with someone who cannot keep their word.

I bought a new Level 2 charger to use in my home, to charge my plug in. Never had an EV and knew nothing. Bought the first level 2 charger from Amazon and called up John...I quickly found out that charging an EV, using a level 2 charger, isn't as simple as it sounds.

Long story short, John was very knowledgeable and he clearly knows his stuff. He went above and beyond what I asked him to do, and that was nice. The job is solid and everything is working great. Even 2-3 weeks after he finished the job, he still took my calls when I had questions.

I would recommend Peak Electrical to friends/family, and I would use his services again should I need them.

Do NOT hire Peak Electrical!

Due to lack of available contractors during the pandemic, we hired who was available. Our mistake was we did not check reviews & John did to us what he did to Barry P. among others here in Yelp. John insisted on a cash deposit & took our money without doing the work. John also asked us to setup our final city permit inspection ahead of time then demanded over $2700+ for our relatively simple electrical work days before the inspection. In disgust toward John's extortion attempt, we hired another electrician to do the work instead who only charged $450 for everything.

We reported John/Peak Electrical to the CSLB for malpractice. They have warned Peak Electrical that there will be ""more severe administrative action"" if further reports are received. Our complaint number with CSLB is NA2020011489 as reference.

I set up an appointment with this company talk to John.
Made an appointment fir him to come to my house to check out my electrical issue. He seemed really professional he never showed up or. Called. I had to call him to then he said I don't remember you when I told him he said oh yes I remember I have two more stops before you. So I canceled. Not professional we waited all day.

Kim P.

Terrible service. 5-6 hours late at every appointment. Didn't finish the job, couldn't find a short, switch burned that they installed. Over priced. Took them to license board and he agreed to refund some of the money but never did. Had others work on our garage but he is the only one that has a license.
Do NOT recommend!!

Called them on a Sunday, John quoted me 125 for GFCI outlet back to back. He said he'd be there at 2p. I was so happy! I told him I got all the parts.
240p rolls around, no show, (I'm thinking is he really going to show) I called to find out where he is. He acted like he didn't know which job this was. I reminded him I was the one that needed the gfci outlet. He said ""oh yeah"" like he forgot. He said he'd call his guys and see if he can send someone or himself. He said they ""needed to get the parts, Home Depot is busy"" ( I just went -not that busy in and out in 15 min) He went on and on about how some businesses don't have all the parts, they have to go to different locations, etc etc.

Starting to sound bogus if you ask me.

330 p rolls around, no call, no show.
I called again, he said he'd call back and see if he can send someone now.
Again no call, no show.
I called last time about 4p and he said "" you have all the parts?- will be there within A hr"" it was 4p, they showed up at 448p. Didn't want to take dirty shoes off. Finally got them to. A son and father team.

I showed them the parts, they said I got the wrong parts. If you go shopping , I stay here , you save money. UNF'N BELIEVABLE!!!

So then I was quoted 250 plus parts- price gouging at the mid point! Plus they smelled like alcohol! Well shit thanks for wasting my F'N Sunday!

WARNING!!!!

Very poor communication, and very unprofessional, showing up this house drunk!!! The eyes showed it too.
I should have taken that other 1 star review to heart!
