Peter Wrate is a treasure. He knows his electrical craft backwards and forwards as only an experienced electrician can. He responds quickly when called. He shows up as soon as humanly possible, works fast and clean, and is fair in pricing. I find him delightfully personable. As you may have surmised, he's my go-to provider for any electrical issue!

Fast and efficient! Peter definitely knows how to repair and troubleshoot electrical panels and will do the job at a REASONABLE price! I requested a few quotes to install a Tesla outlet and he was quick about inspecting and providing me a walk thru of how the 240V outlet will be installed. I will be hiring him again for any future repairs or upgrades!

Excellent communication and service! Had a lighting emergency and despite being busy with other customers, Peter found time to help with me with a chandelier. Reasonable pricing; did not feel overcharged. Peter is very nice and I recommend his services.

The perfect electrician for the job pre-define !!
Peter has done several electrical jobs for our home over the past three (3) years, and I can vouch for his efficiency, honesty, and cost effectiveness. It works quite well when you text him with photos of the problem or what needs to be done.

Peter is great. I called him to schedule an appointment to have 2 small chandeliers installed. He came over and went right to it. He did a great job! He finished the job in less than 1 hour. Great service and great price! Highly recommend.

Peter was a gem! Responded promptly and came to the house very professional. Quickly resolved several issues at my house that i couldn't figure out.
Recorded video to show me what was wrong and gave me before and after. Things were resolved quickly and efficiently.

Spoke to Peter for electrical work. He asked for my address and said he can stop by the next day after he finishes his job and that he would call me to let me know. I sent him a text the next day just before noon and asked if he has a chance to stop by. Never heard from him till a day later saying he can't stop by. Then 2 days later he text and ask were I was if I was home. This Peter guy is not responsive and never gets back to you. I contacted him because of his good reviews. Well he gets a bad review from me. I suggest keep looking for a honest and reliable electrician. Because Peter is not reliable.

Peter, why lie on your response. You never said that you are having family obligations. Your just trying to get out of a bad review. Your not honest and reliable.

Amazing Electrician! Had a problem with my light switch, had messaged Peter on Yelp. The owner was very responsive and replied within 10 mins. It was so easy communicating what I needed. Peter showed up the next day as promised time, did what was requested and even went above and beyond explaining some knowledge on electrical work, checked out my other outlets and gave me a piece of mind that things are working the way it should. So happy to have called him. Highly recommended. Will be finding him for any electrical issues from now on.

Peter is our go-to man for anything electric. He is efficient, friendly, kind, and flexible. Due to his experience, he diagnoses issues quickly. We really value and appreciate Peter's services. We wouldn't look anywhere else and would recommend him to anyone. Peter is awesome!

I decided to try Peter Wrate Electric after my regular electrician flaked out on me.
I'm so glad I did. I called Peter on Saturday morning, sent him a photo and explained what I needed. I received a fair quote and he was out that afternoon.
He exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend him and will definitely call him in the future.

We texted each other to confirm appt for estimate.He Texted Thumbs up sign with times and date.

I dont have to say anymore.

Long overdue review- I needed some general lighting installed in my kitchen and Peter was very responsive and worked very hard with one tricky light above my kitchen. Very affordable and has a kind personality. Would happily recommend.

Peter was someone we found via Yelp and he attended our home today to fix pendant lights, patio fan and smart switches. He was very respectful of our home, he kindly removed shoes as we have a show off policy and he took great care in getting the job done well and with great timing. He wore a mask and took great precautions. He was a pleasure to work with and we will definitely be using his services in the future.
Thank you Peter! Great work

A remote controlled ceiling fan in our home was turning on/off on it's own so i contacted him through yelp. Gave me an estimate of $80. I couldnt be there when he came to do the work. Came...said he couldnt fix it (even though i told him EXACTLY the problem & even sent pictures) and charged my elderly parents $60 just because he came out. I have no clue how he has this high a rating but anyone who takes advantage of people doesn't deserve it.

EDIT: since this gentleman decided to be dishonest once again, here is a screenshot showing that i clearly said we dont have the proper ladder. He said in his response that i said i have a ladder and then later EDITED IT! He also said in his response (which he will edit again!) he estimated $60 when he estimated &80!!! It was also NOT to replace a remote. Who in their right mind would pay for that?? We already had the new remote, something was wrong with the fan ITSELF which we had the part for. He just had to replace it!! I didnt ask for a refund & i dont want one, i simply did an honest review and apparently that's not allowed. Never had a business owner message me non stop in such a condescending way just because they dint like what i had to say. If you cant handle an honest review, that's your problem.

My son went to install a new digital thermostat on a Sunday. Switched all the electricity off and tried unsuccessfully for an hour to get it back on. Breaker was frozen shut. Peter had me send him a picture of it and walked us through a little trick to get it to move. Worked like a charm. Peter you are awesome. Thank you so much Peter! You saved the day.

Peter has done so many projects and repairs at my home. He's super dependable , knowledgeable, professional, courteous, responsive and affordable among other things. He came out today to repair an emergency... burnt electrical fuse box. Repair done in less than 2 hours. Truly appreciate the work he provides and always dependable when needed.

Talk about a bad timing...our tenants power went out in 3 rooms on Christmas Eve at 11PM. I called Peter and he immediately said he can go and quoted me something reasonable for the service call. Peter kept me informed throughout and fixed the issue in 45 minutes. Couldn't thank him enough for his service. Thank you Peter for thinking of your customers needs regardless of the time and day. Highly recommend!!!

I called Peter for some electrical work, he came out the next day and took care of it. Worked quick and clean. Very friend and professional. Fair prices and would highly recommend! We got rid of a spa and needed that power changed to a standard plug. Would highly recommend Peter for your electrical needs!! Now I can have my lights in my gazebo area

Peter helped me repair an unsafe electrical outlet in my laundry area. I had previously hired another electrician to make some repairs after I bought my new home and I wish I had known about Peter at that time, as I was disappointed in some of their work and lack of professionalism. Peter was knowledgeable, professional, and went the extra mile to change out some additional wiring upon realizing there was a safety issue w/ the wiring and didn't charge extra beyond his original estimate (which was very reasonable). I will definitely call Peter again for any electrical problems that arise in the future.

Barbara A.

7/29/2022

Peter responded quickly and arrived the next day even though this was not an emergency. Peter quickly diagnosed a breaker that was causing lights to flicker and our tv to shut off without warning. He also replaced several outlets that were not working. Very happy to have found a reliable electrician. Highly recommended.

Nathaniel B.

10/13/2020

Called Peter about a non-working outlet in the upstairs bathroom...he came out to fix it the same day. He discovered the source of the problem was an electrical box that was hidden behind the bathroom cabinet that probably happened when the house was built.
He completed the connection and the outlet worked and so did the patio outlet that had never worked.
He also repaired the exhaust fan without replacing.
Great job Peter!

Wow, Peter is fantastic! I found Peter through Yelp, and now I am paying it forward.

We first hired Peter to come install a new light at our home. He made quick work of it, and I appreciated his punctuality; his patience with us, asking him questions; and his whole attitude was calm, confident, and in command. He even diagnosed (and fixed) a smaller issue in our backyard lighting.

When we had a mysterious outdoor outlet fail recently, we knew who to call! He responded within an hour, and he was out to us quickly. It was not an emergency, but who doesn't like prompt service?

Once again, he made quick work of the problem. He listened patiently to the problem, and he was able to diagnose and fix the issue swiftly. This time, it was a much more serious problem (it easily could have been a fire), but he walked us through it, fixed it with tools and supplies he had on hand, explained how to handle situations like this in the future, and we were back and running.

He's such a sweet guy, too. He's been doing this a while, and he's very personable, very professional. After two jobs at a pretty affordable rate without feeling rushed or scammed, I think my wife and I can say we know a guy when it's time for electrical work.

Brandi F.

07/11/2020 12:00:00 SA

Peter is a wonderful guy. I had contacted him previously for a project a friend ended up covering for me, but I liked his response time and such so much that I had to keep him in my files for future projects. I'm so glad I did!

My home ended up needing an outlet to be grounded as a previous guy had installed, but not grounded it which caused sparks anytime it was used.

Plus, we needed some GFIs to be put in.

Amidst the Covid 19 issues, Peter showed up on time and wearing his mask; which i, being immunocompromised, appreciated greatly.

He got my items taken care of expediently and had now become a permanent part of my repair person's contract files.

Thank you, Peter!!

I have used Peter 3 times in the past year and each time he does a amazing job. My outlets in my backyard stopped working. the guy who installed the new electrical panel couldn't solve the problem, yet Peter was able to pinpoint the problem and fix it immediately! This guy solves problems. Peter has also helped me in ceiling fan installation, dining room installations and landscape lighting.

Reina G.

Second time I've had Peter come out and do some rewiring and light switch installations. He is fast, honest, and reliable. I will definitely use Peter again, and recommend him to friends and family. Thanks again Peter for the fantastic job!

Peter showed up exactly on time. He was kind, and immediately got to work, all with me hovering and asking questions. He not only taught me everything he was doing, why he was doing this or that, but he took the time to teach me what to do and what to look for when doing household wiring myself. He swapped out a 220v dryer receptacle and fixed a two-way switch in my hallway, and also diagnosed and taught me how an existing switch receptacle was wired so that I could tackle it on my own. He showed me how his tools worked and told me where I could buy them. It truly was a college level, 1 hour course on household electrical... all in my house! He even let me know to text him pictures with questions and he'd be happy to help. Great guy who knows exactly what he's doing. Knowledgeable, friendly, responsive, and punctual. I will 100% be calling him in the future.

I contacted Peter about installing a NEMA 14-50R (240v/50amp) outlet in my garage for an electric vehicle supply equipment. Peter came by and provided a free estimate that was two to three times lower than other electricians.

On the day of the project, Peter finished the installation within 90 minutes, and the final bill was slightly cheaper than his original estimate. He installed a 50 amp breaker in the outside circuit panel, ran several feet of 8 gauge wiring to the other side of the wall inside the garage, and connected the wiring to an outlet box housing the 14-50 receptacle. Everything works great!

I called Peter for help with a transformer issue. My doorbell was producing a very poor amount of voltage for our doorbell camera. We needed to upgrade our transformer in order to increase our voltage. I called Peter in the morning and he came over later in the afternoon.

He was very punctual, professional, courteous, and polite. He got the job done. Straight to the point. In my opinion, he did a great job. He also took the time to answer my questions that were unrelated to our doorbell. I asked questions about future projects regarding more motion sensor lights and running wires through the house for additional cameras. He took his time to answer my questions to the best of his knowledge. Incredibly polite and sweet gentleman.

Side note: summer is here. It's hot. Please offer this man water when he is working on your home.

Peter installed a NEMA 14-50 at my old house for a great price. I appreciate that he was knowledgeable and patient with all my questions and worked with me to figure out the most cost efficient solution. I told my neighbor about him and I think they hired him to install one too.

New house has a 240v dryer outlet and I was debating whether to install a separate NEMA 14-50 to charge the cars or splice the gas line for the dryer and use the dryer outlet to charge to cars.

Called up Peter and once again he was extremely patient and knowledgeable in helping me figure out my options, describing the pros/cons. I ended up not installing the NEMA 14-50 and just used the existing 240v but I'll definitely be back in touch when I need electrical work in the future -- sauna installation! ;)

I've done lots of remodeling in the past and usually, get contractor referrals from friends. Nowaday, I look for all of my contracting work via Yelp and that's how I found Peter.
I emailed Peter all the pics and explained in the email but didn't hear back from him so I called him to make sure he received my email. It turned out that Peter is not active with his email. Texting or calling works best for him. I resent my pics via text and explained to Peter what I needed to do and would like a free estimate. He said he was close by and he can stop by in 30 minutes. He showed up in 20 minutes and was able to give me a reasonable rate. He started the job to install a 50 amp box for my RV and completed the job in two hours. I provided the box and the breaker and he only charged me labor, wiring, and conduit. All in all, I'm happy with the work and his reasonable rate. Best of all, from the time I called him to the time he completed the work is only 3+ hours.
5* from me and will use Peter again in the future.

Peter was exceptional. I had an appointment set for Wednesday, but had a major outage of half of my house over the weekend. I asked Peter if he could come sooner and without hesitation he came early Monday morning and was able to diagnose the issue within minutes and guided me through getting SCE out to address the issue. Thanks to Peter, I was able to get SCE out and SCE modified my house to a 110, while they had a group working on fixing my connection to the main. Peter returned on Wednesday and was able to fix several outlets and advise on other projects. He is a wealth of knowledge, cares about his customers, did a great job at a fair price and is just a great guy. I highly recommend this business.

Mr. Wrate is just the best! Very fast response on Yelp, came with PPE, and got the job done quickly at a fair rate. He is knowledgeable and experienced, and he did an excellent job of quickly identifying a problem with the electrical for our rainbird irrigation system (that we were able to fix ourselves after purchasing a $10 part). He also repaired 2 outlets in our garage, one a 35 amp so that I could charge my electric vehicle at home. What I like the most about him is that throughout the job, he explains what he is doing and why it matters. Not only did he correct a dangerous ungrounded outlet; he helped me to understand *why* it was a fire hazard, and trained me on the signs to look out for if the EV charging equipment is malfunctioning or overheating in the future.

He readily offered up his own parts he had on hand and didn't charge for them, but we felt we should cover those costs so we gave a fat tip. Well worth every cent, and peace of mind that the grass won't die and the garage won't burn down!

Justin T.

11/09/2020 12:00:00 SA

Peter was nothing less than a true professional. I was having some electrical issues with some switches I was replacing late at night, and couldn't figure out what I had done wrong. Even late at night, Peter responded within 10 min and was kind enough to give me a call and tried to troubleshoot the issue with me over the phone. Unfortunately I was unsuccessful. First thing next morning, Peter came over and was able to fix the problem. I would definitely recommend Peter.

I have used Peter's services a few more times as I am currently selling my home and needed electrical work done per the inspection report. Peter did a great job again for a great price. I have been through my fair share of expensive electricians. Peter is reliable, fast working, dependable, personable and has a lot of integrity. Need I say more? You will be happy that you called him. Thank you again Peter!

Neil P.

2/20/2021

Had Peter out last year, did everything as quoted and was great! Added the wiring for a few outdoor flood lights and swapped an indoor fan

I've had to hire a few electricians over the years, but never been impressed with their work. Peter is the first one I'd ever refer for anyone

And love the stickers on the truck!

A second call this week to Peter resulted in a successful fix up of a very old florescent overhead light in my mom's kitchen. The wiring was wonky and having wires hanging out in full view was driving her nuts. Peter came out within two days and was able to fix the wiring and add an outlet. It looks great and mom is happy!

Rich G.

Highly recommended. Peter is an old-school no nonsense electrician that finds the problem and gets it fixed quickly at a fair price. No upselling or shady tactics.

L K.

11/14/2020

Usually I give 4 stars because I think there has to be someone better. I still think that but for the price Peter is 5 stars. At first I thought he was a bit grumpy because he wasn't very talkative or friendly to my dog. At the end I understood that he felt obligated to work as efficiently as he could because he charges by the hour.

Per my YELP request he fixed a GFI issue and rewired my under cabinet lights to convert them from neon to LED. I then added a task. I had a non-functioning low voltage light in my front yard that another electrician had said was not fixable. Peter's strong investigative and diagnostic skills were able to get that light working. Great work Peter. Thank you.

Peter came out to us in a Sunday, and it was a holiday weekend too! I was so anxious and worried about what happened to our power.. he came out and figured out the issue and explained everything to me. Made me feel so much better! He was so nice and polite! I will be calling you soon to have a look at some other outlets! Thank again!!

Wanted to thank you for your service again! He came out to us to help with a kitchen fixture, about 2 months ago I believe. He always shows up with a great attitude and a smile. I was there helping my mom translate regarding the service as I assumed he did not speak Spanish. To our surprise he answered my moms question in Spanish! Dude your customer service is amazing! Thank you, you gained a loyal client for all our electrical needs!

I had electrical problems off and on and had one electrician come and he solved nothing. But Peter came out within 30 minutes and fixed my problem under an hour. So worth it. Fast, efficient, and honest.

Vanessa E.

11/14/2020

Peter is the best contractor I've had the pleasure of working with. He came highly recommended from a neighbor and his great yelp reviews are pretty spot on. There is no one else I would call and he's already been back for more projects.

Peter is honest, reasonable, reliable and knowledgeable. He explains things in a way that makes it easy to understand and helps you learn more about your house. As a first time home owner, there is so much to learn and Peter makes it easy! He helped me prioritize what work I needed done. He gave me tips on what we can do ourselves and how we tackle electrical needs when we remodel rooms.

It took me a while to find a great electrician and I am so grateful for Peter's services. You won't regret moving forward with him!

Just called Peter, based on his reviews. I was very lucky that he had an opening this morning. He came out within 1 hour. He replaced a wall light switch. Quick,

I've been have these electrical outlets goin in and off for some time. Did a Google and YouTube search to help identify and fix the problem. Electricity came back on and on 11/1/18, approximately 6-7 outlets failed again.

Called Peter and within 30 minutes he was at the house and started working on the issue. Within the hour, he located the problem and corrected it.

We also had ceiling fan issues and asked to have Peter remedy the problem.

I highly recommend this gentleman. He was pleasant, Courteous, polite and very friendly. He is very knowledgeable and explains the issues.

One of the best experiences I've had with contractors. He came on a short notice and took care of the problem quickly. He did his diagnosing and troubleshooting and was out in less than a half hour. He definetely knows what he's doing! He also gave me some tips on how to do some things myself! His prices are super fair! My wife and I are extremely satisfied with our service today. What happened was that a gfi gave out last night! It turned off our wifi so my kids wouldn't have been able to go to school on line today. My wife is so grateful that he came early and made us a priority! I will recommend him to anyone I know looking for a great electrician!!! You can tell he does this because he likes his job and helping people and not to rip people off!

Our electricity had been turning on and off in only random parts of the house for a couple months and it was becoming more frequent. It was becoming routine to take the blender into the living room to known functioning outlets. We'd go out and mess with the breakers which would only fix the problem sometimes... or the power would randomly come back on.

So we asked around for recommendations. A friends personal recommendation came out and charged me $50 for a consult to tell me the bus bar was melted, it would cost $2K to fix it, and they'd have to cut out the stucco of the house and such.

Second opinion was free. He told us the same thing, but for a little less. Then he messed with the breakers which turned off the power in the house again... and after I asked if he could fix that... he said no and left!!!! I couldn't open my garage anymore!!! The heater wouldn't turn on and it was hitting 40degrees at night!

Luckily I had Peter coming as my final quote. I had contacted him over Yelp and sent him a picture of my melted bus bar. He gave me a quote and had a better solution I thought than the other 2 guys.

He came and immediately switched things around on the board (pardon my lack of electrician jargon) that gave my house power again. He told me that would hold me over until he got the parts and I wouldn't have to worry about the power going out again. He told me his plan of switching out the bus bar and going through the garage to unscrew it. It made way more sense to me than ripping out our wall and replacing the entire box.

2 days later he was back. He was excellent at communicating his ETA and when he ordered and received the pieces. He switched everything out quickly. He cut a couple little holes in the garage and patched it up so you couldn't even tell anything had been done. It was totally painless for what I consider a very reasonable price compared to what I was being quoted.

I felt he was very honest and wasn't out to up sell us, but actually recommended what we actually needed. He obviously knows his stuff and I will be calling him for any other electrical needs!!

Lucky A.

I can say that Peter (somehow I kept calling him Steve) is by far the most honest, down to earth, electrician that I have encountered. 5 stars is not enough to rate him. When I called, he gave me some suggestions to see if my problem gets fixed without him coming over. Now who else would do that? When he came over, he looked at my circuit box, snip this, tug that, install this, close that and voila! My electrical problem that affected my AC and pool equipment was fixed. And this was during 100 degree weather. Peter explained what he did in terms that I understood, gave me some more pointers, and off he went. He charges at reasonable rates, and I now know who to go to anytime I need an electrical expert and problem solver. I highly recommend Peter!

Updated 1/2018
As usual, Peter comes thru for me again. I wanted to have a dryer receptacle installed in the garage and he came after a couple of hours and installed it. Peter is a keeper and I will continue to be a customer.

Needed to add a couple of outlets in my family room. Called Peter Wrate and he answered right away. He came the following day at the agreed upon time. He was a pleasure to work with and very professional. I am extremely happy with the work he performed at my home, and would highly recommend him to anyone.

From start to finish, working with Peter was the easiest, most efficient, and productive experience I've had regarding hiring someone through Yelp to provide services. First of all, he quickly responded to my inquiry about having some electrical work done. He was able to provide a reasonable quote AND somehow was able to provide services that SAME day. Now, keep in mind, it wasn't an emergency, and I was prepared to hear that I would have to wait at least a few days for the next available opening....but NOPE...Peter came out that afternoon and got the work done. He wore his mask the entire time, did his work in an efficient manner, and was able to diagnose and fix a problem that came up during his visit. Before he left, Peter even helped me with a repair he wasn't able to complete (because I didn't have the correct part - not his fault) by physically showing me how I could do it myself once I got the part. I will definitely be reaching out to Peter for any electrical needs in the future! Thanks, Peter!

I had an outlet and a plug that needed replacement and Peter did the job quickly and professionally. I really appreciate that he explained what caused the problem, too. I will definitely call Peter for any future electrical work needed.

Peter is an absolute gem!!!

He's so knowledgeable, and was so good about patiently explaining all of the issues that we were having with the electricals in our house as he went along and addressed them. We had some bad receptacles, and he replaced all of them very quickly and efficiently. We had some issues with the outlets being out in our bathrooms, and I had a terrible experience with the first electrician who tried to fix the issue but didn't really know what the problem was, tried to blame it on user error, and said that he would probably have to tear into the walls to figure it out. Turns out it was just a bad connection along the circuit that Peter was able to find and take care of - no need to dig into walls, or god forbid charge some exorbitant amount of money for unneeded service.

Look no further than calling Peter if you have an issue. He was so nice, his services were so reasonably priced, and he clearly has a ton of experience and puts a ton of care into his work.

Years of experience and not in it to jip anyone out of their house and home... so rare to find! Glad we connected with Peter. He's definitely a well-experienced guy who can tell you what you need to get your electrical problems fixed and keep the prices reasonable. He even gave us a tip on ordering a fuse. He's been bookmarked for future calls (just in case!). Job entailed a new fuse for the above-ground spa and a ceiling light installation with a connection to the light switch. All are working great!!!

Very satisfied with Peters service. He is super sweet and took extra time to answer unrelated question to the service we had him come out for.

Peter is so pleasant. Easy to talk to. Answers every question. Doesn't over charge or ask for up front diag fees. Very competent on all things electrical, plus some. Ive had issues with other electricians, before. Basically trust issues, but not with Peter. We will only hire Peter in this family now forever. Thank you again Peter for getting the lights turned back on.

Great price, great service, and great advice on overall electrical problems and solutions.

Showed up on time, fixed initial issues and then asked about any other issues I might have, showed him a few things and they were simple fixes and was able to help me out and get them done.

Patti C.

11/08/2017 12:00:00 SA

What a breathe of fresh air - this guy is knowledgeable, honest to a fault, and professional, couldn't ask for more than that!!!

I would recommend this guy in a heartbeat. He's reliable and believe me explains things to where you know what he's talking about.

Fixed everything and gave great advice.

Although I didn't utilize his services today, I felt like he still deserved a 5-star review due to still being extremely helpful during his callback. His phone was having some issues, and was unable to receive any calls or Yelp estimate requests, and our 100 amp main breaker was in desperate need of replacing. Half the house was going dead, and an SCE tech came out and suggested we get it replaced, so he put in a claim and untagged our meter, so we could get the work done. Found another local company to come out and do the job for quite a bit more than what Peter quoted, but Peter really went above and beyond in explaining the how and the why of our issue, which I valued greatly. Although the work was already done by someone else, I would not hesitate to put in a call to him, if I ever need an electrician in the future.

01/10/2019 12:00:00 SA

Peter is definitely a trustworthy electrician and believe me they are hard to find. I've had him over a couple of times and he has always showed up on time and done a great job. He truly cares about his customers and no job is too small for him. I have recommended him to a couple of friends and will keep doing so. Peter is honest, friendly and you will definitely feel relaxed knowing you found someone who isn't trying to take advantage of you. THANK YOU PETER! You're Fantastic at your job!

Ted D.

Peter installed my E V power station for me
He was prompt friendly and he honored his original estimate.
The quality of the install is excellent.
I highly recommend Peter.

Peter did a super job of finding the problem and correcting it. He had to trace it through a number of rooms until he located the source. He arrived when he said he would, wore his mask the entire time he was here and the fee he charged was more than reasonable. If you need an electrician, look no farther than Mr. Wrate.

Aiden S.

This man didn't want to help me starting I'm out of his service area. I'm less then a hop and a skip away. Good thing electricians come by the diamond dozen.

Amee D.

Peter was great! To start it off, he was very flexible with hours and responds very quickly. His pricing was also VERY fair. He was able to work quickly and finished the project in no time. I HIGHLY recommend Peter for electrical problems. He's a very nice man and an efficient worker. Thank you!

Jonathan N.

Highlights:
1. Very good communicator in terms of quoting, setting up the appointment and letting me know he's in the way. Fast response.
2. Explained step by step what he was doing when trouble shooting my electrical problem - heart of a teacher
3. Worked quickly to fix the problem
4. Extremely friendly and genuine - service with a smile!

Summary - I will definitely call Peter again if i ever encounter an electrical issue or need assistance with an installation.

Background: I had 3 issues, all of which were self inflicted when I tried replacing my old original almond color switches / outlets with new white ones.

1. 3 way light switch no longer worked correctly
2. Light switch that controlled one outlet in a room wasn't working as expected
3. Bad outlet needed to be rewired

He fixed all 3 in 45 minutes of arriving at my home.

Peter is an awesome guy! He installed a NEMA 14-50 outlet into my garage and did a fantastic job! He was very thorough and explained everything he needed to do. I must say he was VERY REASONABLY priced! I highly recommend his services.

Robin H.

12/29/2018

This guy's service is outstanding, he responded thru Yelp quickly and was able to get to my house the next day to look at my electrical problem. Peter showed up early for the appointment time which was awesome because he obviously respects appointment times. He originally quoted me a diagnostic fee and after coming to my house and spending a solid 30-40 min told me what I needed he only asked for a fraction on the diagnostic fee. Wow! I mean he could of easily just charged me the original diagnostic fee he quoted me but he didn't. I will definitely be calling him for my future electrical issues. Thanks again

Perry C.

12/20/2018

We hired Peter to install a NEMA 14-50 outlet in our garage. He was very reasonably priced,and very fair with the amount of time the installation took. He would stop to explain things anytime I came by, and delivered a quality product (he went back to straighten the outlet since it wasn't perfectly straight, I probably would've just left it). He's licensed and insured so any permitting needs should be fine.

I'd highly recommend Peter, we'll probably be hiring him again for future home improvement projects if we need an electrician.

Bobby N.

12/14/2019

I needed help with my fan and light problem. Peter showed up within 2 hours of my call. was prompt, very professional and knowledgeable regarding eletricals. I have to say he is very reaonable with his charges and would not try to take advantage of the situation and rather he would work honestly.

Trustworthy, honest, and reliable. Thank you, Peter.

Peter responded quickly to my inquiry and set up an appointment within 2 days. He reviewed my electrical panel need, diagnosed it within a few minutes, and set up the day/time to fix after finding part. He showed up in time, started work quickly, corrected the need, and cleaned up. He put in a new bus bar, a few electrical fuse switches, and patched up work. All done within 2 hours. He explained the problem and the fix so I could see/understand. Definitely recommend Peter Wrate.

01/08/2019 12:00:00 SA

Great guy! Squeezed in a last minute job for a bathroom light switch. In and out and reasonably priced. Will definitely keep his card :)

5/24/2019

Just as other Yelpers have posted, Peter Wrate is very knowledgeable, efficient, and offers fair prices. We had electrical issues with our room addition and he diagnosed the problem right away. Once he got the necessary parts for our circuit breaker, he was done in less than an hour. We will definitely call upon his services again.

Ann R.

9/27/2020

Peter is a life saver. Yesterday after several attempts to fix my electrical problems we decided to call for help. We can Peter and he was here within 30 minutes and was able to trace the problem to a ceiling fan. I am extremely grateful and will definitely contact him again should I have any more electrical problems.

Steve J.

11/26/2019

The work went great. He fixed the outlet less than in 10 mins. However the payment was the problem. I paid through zelle because peter told me that it works. I used his phone number to send him money. It should show up right away on his app that he got money but he was keep saying that he didn't so I just gave him other $80 in cash. I called the bank next day to see what happened and they told me that it takes 3-5 days so I waited for a while week. I contact with peter again and he still hasn't gotten the money he said so I went to the bank and also called the costumer service. They both told me that money went through already. However they told me that I should never sent money through zelle who you don't really know because many people say that they haven't received money even though they might have gotten it. Bank told me there is nothing you can do. If he really didn't receive the money that is because he hasn't updated his new phone number and the new account he might opened up. So I just paid him $80 cash and lost $80 that will never get me back. However I shouldn't have done it and I'm not saying that peter is lying or whatever. Just this was a Hassle experience. I had to call the bank twice and They usually take at least half an hour to pick up the call and had to text with peter for a whole week. It was just too much for me. There for I'm giving only two stars. Please BE CAREFUL paying with ZELLE!

Peter was very professional and patient by explaining the different options on fixing our bus bar by telling us the pros and cons of each option. We would highly recommend him to our friends and family because he was honest, always on time, and work around our busy schedule.

Mochi H.

09/12/2020 12:00:00 SA

Peter is amazing! I called him on a Saturday night and he walked me through my breaker issue by simply looking at a picture. This was affecting my fridge and kitchen and gave me a quick fix over the phone. He is kind hearted, friendly, and definitely someone who I'll be using in the future and would refer friends and family to. Thanks again Peter! My entire family thanks you!!!

We needed a nema 14-50 outlet for our Tesla Model 3 and Peter gave us the best price, was very proffesional and did the job very well. Everything went welll from start to finish and we are happily using the charger.

Alretha T.

8/27/2020

Peter is our go-to-guy for all things electrical. He has come out numerous times to install ceiling fans/lights, sockets, rewire and he even installed a grounding rod. He's super talented, knowledgeable, friendly, punctional, reliable, wears his protective mask, and he's also affordable. We've used his services so much, he feels like a member of the family!

Patricia O.

8/14/2019

Peter just completed two electrical projects for my condo. He did a very thorough job of trouble shooting some structural issues in the ceiling before installing my new ceiling fan light. He also installed a new exhaust fan in the master bathroom.

He is an extremely qualified electrician, very knowledgeable, and has a positive personality.

One of the reasons that I picked Peter was his great Yelp reviews
and that he has a current state license.

I would recommend Peter Wrate to anyone who wants a job well done at reasonable prices.

I called Peter after 5pm on a Saturday. I explained the problem (bathroom GFI outlet arced as I pulled out a plug and it wouldn't reset). He asked a few questions and suggested a few things I could try to reset it. Nothing seemed to work so he came out. He very quickly diagnosed the problem and had it fixed within 1/2 hour. His rate was very reasonable and I was very lucky to find someone on a Saturday night to fix the problem. Peter will definitely be my first call if I have another electrical problem.

Ryan Y.

12/29/2019

Wanted to have my ring doorbell hardwired. The existing wires had no power to them and I didn't want to deal with it. Was receiving ridiculous quotes from other companies but found Peter who came out quickly and for a very fair price. Saved his contacts in my phone because he is the first one I will be calling for anything electrical from now on.

Will M.

3/21/2018

I called Peter up because I had power surge throughout my house. My appliances are either not getting enough or getting too much power from the outlet. The house smelled like burning wire and all my surge-protectors are burning out rendering it useless. With in minutes from messaging Peter, he had called me asking about the problems. He then gave me some good advice and things I can do while he will be finishing up his prior appointments. When he showed up in my doorstep he went straight into troubleshooting my problem. He was honest, and very knowledgeable on all the things he was testing and fixing. When he finally found the source of my problems, which was a bad neutral coming from the main power line, he ask me to contact Edison right away so he can explain to them the problem. At the end Peter wasn't able to fix the problem (Because he was not allowed to thinker with the main power line) but he found the source which made it easier for Edison to fix. He made sure that Edison knew the exact source of problem, and left me a peace of mind that everything was going to be okay!

I'm my own experience....if you need a knowledgeable, down-to-earth, honest, electrician... I recommend giving Peter a call!

I called Peter for troubleshooting help with some lighting. He fit me in at the end of the same day and arrived promptly. Nice guy and is quick at diagnosing the problem. He even drew me a picture of what he found and where. Good, honest guy. Good meeting you Peter, thanks again!

Erick C.

3/14/2020

Awesome work he did. I had half of my house with no power and Peter did an amazing job at troubleshooting everything. It turns out it was a burnt out wire from an outlet and he fixed it. On top of that, he replaced a light fixture with one he had and it's even better than the one we had before. Super awesome job he did and very quickly too. I highly recommend him.

Peter is my 'go to' electrician! He's been to my home on 3 separate occasions. He's fair, honest, smart and nice. I can't say enough good things about him.
Won't call anyone else.
Thanks, Peter!

06/04/2017 12:00:00 SA

Peter is wonderful! I'm a female who really needed a REAL licensed electrician who knows what he's talking about and who won't overcharge me for the work I need doing. Peter is the man for the job. He is a blessing. I'm remodeling my home and I needed some electrical work done. The first time I contacted Peter he agreed to help me on Mother's Day (without charging me extra). He fixed my electrical panel wiring, replaced some fuses, and installed a grounding bar. My first experience with Peter was great and the price was right so I hired him today (on a Sunday) to upgrade my outlets in my newly remodeled kitchen. He's here now ;). I will add some pictures for you.

D S.

5/30/2015

Peter is a fantastic electrician! Unlike so many others, Peter is honest, hard-working, and offers very reasonable rates. We recently hired Peter to install our front yard ambient lighting for our flower beds and large liquid amber trees. He also installed tree lights in our backyard. He worked non-stop until the job was completed and it looks gorgeous!! He was so careful to not disturb our new landscaping and much more conscientious than the average electrician.
We highly recommend Peter Wrate's electrician services.

Shawn A.

2/23/2020

If you want fast, friendly service at a totally fair price, call Peter. He responds promptly and is usually available for a quick appointment and does solid work. Plus he is a really nice guy and is happy to answer questions...even the dumb ones. He is now my go-to electrician. Happy!

Stanley Z.

12/13/2019

I called Peter this morning because I replaced a switch and the next thing I know, the refrigerator socket had no power. I called Peter because I noticed his Yelp listing shows he has a 30 minute response time. After explaining my situation, Peter was at my house in less than 30 minutes. After some troubleshooting, he found I tripped a GFI circuit in a bathroom. You learn something new every day! Peter was prompt and took care of the problem. I feel the fee Peter charged me for his visit was very reasonable.

Alan F.

03/03/2018 12:00:00 SA

Honest electrician. His interest is to help the customer to fix the problem with the fastest and most economical way. I recently ask for a quote and Peter ask me to trouble shoot by myself first which solved the issue at the spot. Looking forward to do more business with him in the future.

Larry G.

01/09/2018 12:00:00 SA

Find Peter on Yelp, he showed up in 15 minuets. Peter is very friendly and professional. Fixed my existing problem in 5 minutes. Then helped me to setup a remote control to my ceiling fan. Really great service.

Virina G.

09/05/2019 12:00:00 SA

Peter was great! He was punctual, polite, and found a solution to our problem immediately. We really appreciate his work ethic. We tried several other electricians who just did not return calls or did not keep appointments. Thanks again Peter

I had bathroom outlet that wasn't working. Peter came out and fixed it in no time. Thanks again! Will definitely be using him again :)

Mel C.

10/14/2019

Background : several outlets in the house had no power (1 outlet in the garage, 1 near the bar, 1 in the 2nd floor bathroom, 2 in the 2nd floor vanity.
Resolution : Peter performed troubleshooting: checked breaker panel, attached a device to the dead outlet in the garage to narrow the problem, Peter determined that the outlet in the bar was causing the problem (One wire was almost out). Peter rewired the outlet. Peter checked the dead outlets, and they are now working properly. Per my request, Peter replaced 30 amp (wired it for the electric dryer) and 100 amp breaker, and GFI outlet.
Summary : Peter did an excellent job in resovling the issues with the dead oulets, installation of the GFI outlet, 30 and 100 amp breakers. And of course, the cost for the work performed was very reasonable. Peter does not overcharge you... Thank you Peter for a job well done. I will definitely utilize you in future electrical work....

Wow, former Arcadia electrician Peter Wrate Electric (and friend of Villa Catrina) still provides Arcadians best service, responding within two hours on a Saturday to diagnose problem and then returning on a Sunday morning and doing two jobs lickety-split and charging one-third the cost of only an estimate of others! 5-stars from us!

Eddie M.

01/03/2018 12:00:00 SA

Peter did a really great job fixing the problem I had with most of my electrical outlets that had stopped working. The price he charged me was a lot less then what I was expecting . I would recommend Peter to anyone who has any electrical problems and will call him again.

Sherwin B.

12/28/2017

There aren't enough stars to rate Pete in the service that he has given to me. I would give him 1000 stars if I could. Let's start with the response time. Was out to my place in 20 minutes from the time I contacted him on Yelp to my front door. Very nice guy and very professional. He diagnosed the issues I had and resolved them in less than an hour. I had about 5 bad outlets in the house and he changed them all out. He won't charge you extra and try to sale you on over priced parts. If he charged more in the future I'm still going to pay for the increase because the man is honest and very straight forward. He made sure every outlet was working and there are no future issues to be concerned about. Thanks a million Pete. If you need a REAL electrician this is the guy you want. I have dealt with of few of these clowns in here and they are no match.

Tyler S.

Highly recommend Peter, repaired a 3-way switch system in our home in no time at all! He was prompt with his appointment time and extremely friendly/professional.

Jen P.

10/02/2018 12:00:00 SA

We were having issues with our electrical outlets tripping and we found Peter had raving reviews on Yelp so decided to give him a call. Yes he was quick to respond and yes he did try to walk us through some problem solving before coming out which I definitely appreciated. We end up having to have him come out eventually after a few days. I thought he could have been more organized, his tool bag was a mess and had to scramble and dump out half of his bag out to find tools he needed. He ended up changing a couple of the breakers but had said at the end i'm not sure how much i actually helped you here and unfortunately the price has gone up from $40 to $80 for the service plus the price of the breakers cost $50. I almost felt like it was a switch and bate when he said that. He left us wondering if he had really fixed the problem especially with that comment. If i'm paying you $130, i want to know that it fixed the problem not i'm not sure how much I've helped you here. In conclusion, we have not had the breaker trip since he's changed it so i guess it fixed our problem right? I just wished he was more sure of his work and was more organized. The words he used when asking for the higher labor cost could have been presented in a more professional manner. He could have explained the reason for the higher charge instead of saying unfortunately the price has gone up Im OK to pay a higher labor price as long as the problem is fixed and a clear explanation is given. He just kind of left me with a so so feeling of wondering if he really did fix the problem or not. I have mixed feelings about it but at the end of the day he did fix our problem so therefore i gave a neutral 3 star review.

Peter came out to diagnose a GFCI circuit that kept flipping off. He identified a waterfall pump that was discharging some electricity into the water. He also replaced a sensitive GFCI outlet and charged me only for the labor and part. No service charge.

But to top that I had a circuit breaker that would not turn off and on again. I called Peter to come fix/replace the circuit breaker. He walked me through a few steps to unplug appliances and let the breaker cool down. I got it working the next day. Another electrician would have replaced the breaker and charged me an arm and a leg.

My opinion of Peter is that he is honest, fair and knows his stuff. Hard to find in a contractor.

Brenda T.

03/03/2016 12:00:00 SA

EXTREMELY professional, knowledgeable and eager to help. Knew immediately what the problem was, fixed it, explained it ... Wow! Its been a long time since I've had such a positive experience with a repairman of ANY kind!

They don't make 'em like that anymore!

10/07/2018 12:00:00 SA

I requested a quote and Peter called me promptly. Instead of coming out to fix the issue, he talked me through on fixing the issue with my bathroom outlets and saved me money. I would have never known that reset button was on the GFCI outlet in the garage. A real standup and honest electrician. Thank you!!!

Ruth S.

9/13/2018

Peter is an awesome Electrician who was prompt in taking our phone call, coming to our home on a Sunday. He immediately identified our problem. He proceeded with his repairs and then assisted with our phone call to SCE. His phone call helped with getting SCE to come out that evening which started a week of repairs by SCE. I highly recommend Peter! He is well experienced, professional and down to earth. Great guy!

Had problems installing a Ring doorbell. Had Hello Tech come out.....worthless, waste of 2.5 hours. Couldn't figure out the problem. Messed up wiring to the chime inside the house. They did refund my money. Called Peter at 8am, he arrived at 9:15, Had it working by 10!!! And the price was very fair! Nice knowledgeable man.

I was doing some DIY project to replace my outlet with GFCI, unfortunately, mission failed. I called Peter and he was at the area so he said he would come after his job done. He was able to replace the 3 GFCI outlets for me, and also install a Legrand adorne Wave switch for me within reasonable time. He's knowledgeable and know what he's doing. And his charge is reasonable. I will certainly give me a call again next time when I am needing help with any electrician work.

Christie E.

11/29/2018

What a great find Peter Wrate Electric was! His pricing was fabulous and his work was fantastic! He changed four of my exterior light fixtures and was very friendly. I will definitely use him again and pass his info along to friends and family as well. Thanks again Peter!

Peter is very responsive, honest, and reasonably priced. I was very satisfied with his work and his explanations as he was troubleshooting. I will definitely seek out his services when I have other projects. Highly recommend!

Peter came to do some electrical repairs (through J. Yelen Enterprises) via my home warranty company. I couldn't find J. Yelen on Yelp but came across Peter's page and had to leave a review. He's a very friendly, honest and knowledgeable electrician who works efficiently -- very professional. I highly recommend him for any electrical work you need!

I called Peter at 6 am for a electric short at my pool pump timer. he asked me a few quistions and had me check a few things. I did all he asked and got it fixed myself. He explained it to me with patience and helped me out of a tight jam. Honest and knowledgable. Thanks again Peter.

Sunday morning and your powers out. Who you going to call, Peter. Peter came out right away diagnosed and fixed the problem. He even took time and let me run to get parts that I needed. Peter! Thanks for the Sunday afternoon visit and your assistance!

Peter was the third technician to come to my house to fix an issue with no power to my garage. The previous two techs both said that a wire was loose in a panel and diagnosis/work could not be done without first locating the panel. Also mention of rewiring was needed. They said the panel was covered in drywall and I would have to cut a hole for access but they did not cover the fixing of the hole. Peter came and in about 1 hour after diligently checking each outlet and switch, found the problem switch and had the problem fixed in less than 10 minutes after that without any holes or extra hassle for me. Great and honest.

Peter is friendly, knowledgeable, and a great resource. He was able to diagnose an intermittent issue without seeing it happen, and he discovered things that may cause me an issue in the future. He's also knowledgable in home warranty services and coverage. I think his perspective is in the best interest of the customer. He is empathetic to the frustrations electrical issues may cause.

Honest and informative electrician. I had an issue with my electrical system and Peter arrived within designated time. He fixed my issue very quickly and was very informative about how and why it happened. I told him that I would be contacting him for future services involving a power outlet around my sink. Very friendly person and reasonable.

A+ for Peter. Excellent electrician with honest and fair pricing. Even though he was a distance away doing another job he came to us on late Friday to help us out. I would be more than happy to refer him to any of my friends

Peter was extremely responsive, knowledgeable and very reasonable in his price. He installed a 15 Amp replacement circuit breaker and diagnosed a short circuit for us on a Sunday afternoon. Right before forecasted heat wave. Already recommended him to family and keeping his card on file for future emergencies.

If I could give this business 0 stars I would. Called Peter on the phone listed on Yelp and when he didn't show up the first time, he stated that I had to call his booking agency. Called his appointment line (which is not on Yelp) to set up an appointment and then when I called to verify his appointment he stated that he would not be able to start the project because his wife bought concert tickets. When asked what I did wrong since I followed his instructions, he could not provide an honest answer. Obviously this caused frustration when I had to re-arrange my priorities to accommodate his schedule and yet he could not meet his appointment. I'm sure he is very talented in trade but he obviously needs some assistance with his customer service and booking appointments.

I am so happy with the service Peter provided! He came to my house the same day that I called. The job ended up being more complicated than expected, but Peter took the time to make sure everything was done correctly. Thank you!

Peter was able to save me 60.00 bucks by giving me suggestions as to what the problem might be. It turns out it was a outlet that had to many appliances connected to the outlet. Thanks Peter

Peter is WONDERFUL! Like many other comments, he responds and communicates, he kept his appts (estimate and actual job), he is extremely knowledgeable, pleasant to deal with, he tackled my small project like it was his own, treated my house and working area with respect; ALL things important to me! Above all, he was fair and reasonable in his pricing for the work, he did not try to gouge me. In fact, he did not have to tear into my drywall for part of the wiring because of his patience and abilities to work his wiring whereas others would have created a larger job, and no doubt more $$$$. Lastly, he also exchanged out a troublesome switch that has bothered me for months, and now it works beautifully! If I ever need an electrician, I will call Peter back to my castle in a heartbeat!

This guy is amazing, he's honest and a very knowledgeable and experienced electrician. I just purchased my house and had an issue with my kitchen outlets. As a gift, our real estate agent purchased us a 1 year Home Warranty. I call the warranty company to open a service request to send an electrician to fix the issue. This sloppy guy shows up at my door and he spends about an hour and a half troubleshooting and removing all the outlets and outlet plates in the kitchen trying to find the issue. After all this time he concludes that the house needs to be re-wired and that he need to check if the home warranty contract will cover the costs. He leaves.... yes he leaves without reinstalling the outlets. The home warranty company contacts me to inform me that the re-wiring is not covered (surprise, surprise) so I asked for a 2nd opinion. They agreed and sent Mr. Peter Wrate. No Peter shows up the next day with tool bag in hand. After a 5 minute conversation to give him a little background on my issue, he gets right to work. 10 minutes later, he finds the problem a fixes it. It was a loose wire in one of the kitchen outlet that the first guy didn't even look at. Peter even checked and corrected the mess the first guy left behind. I would highly recommend Peter Wrate for all your electrical needs. Although I met him through my Home Warranty company, I kept his contact information so I can go directly to him. Thanks Peter!!!!

I called him after 10 PM on a Tuesday night and he answered and sounded sleepy. And through a sleepy voice, he walked me through how to fix my problem. I had no power at all after a black-out in my neighborhood. My electricity didn't come on with the rest of my neighbors. Edison company tried to help me over the phone and in the end they told me that I needed an electrician to fix my faulty breakers. I called for emergency service from Peter. He told me that Edison is often wrong and give me very precise step-by-step instructions while I stayed on the phone and followed them. Within minutes (after five hours without electricity and bad info from Edison) we were back in business. He didn't ask for compensation and never made me feel like he was put out by my call. He would have come out (15 miles away) if I couldn't fix it right away. He's like having a brilliant electrician as your brother.

I needed help to plug my electric car; I hired him and asked for his immediate help. He was very nice and pleasant to talk to. He managed to come in later in the afternoon and he worked very hard to install my level II plug in. I highly recommend peter for his attitude, efficiency and also for his reasonable price.
