Peak Electrical

Pennie L.

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.

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!

Not much concern for appointment times. His sons' work on Panel was of questionable quality-- had to hire another electrician come and fix properly. Owner J. Pike asked for payment check made out to him personally rather that the Business which might be why he refused (after several requests) to produce a written receipt for the job. Would never rehire or recommend this outfit.

We had two electrical outlets in the garage that did not work. I thought if I check the electrical panel and sub panel for a tripped circuit breakers I could fix the problem. I turned the breakers on and off and all the power went out.... I could not get it back on. Frustrated I called Peak Electrical in the late afternoon. John let me know he would be en route as soon as possible. John and Dakota arrived and were very professional! They got to work - fixed my electrical panel and fixed the original problem of two electrical outlets in the garage and an outlet outside the house that has not worked for years! John educated me on how it all works and what they were doing which was a definite plus. Impressed I asked them about another outlet that was coming loose. They scheduled and came back. That loose outlet is so secure now. Communication was excellent and this company is awesome and affordable.

We had a major outage for our house and after speaking with PG&E they recommended we find a local electrician. John and his son were very friendly and arrived a few hours later, on a Saturday. They both are personable and very knowledgeable. Turns out we need an entirely new panel, much to our shock. We were unable to contract Peak for our job as they do not take credit cards, despite it being listed as a form of payment they accept, but will definitely call them whenever we have a smaller issues. Great local, family business!
