Peter was one of many electricians that I contacted to help me with two work items I had. The first work item Peter helped me with was to separate ground and neutral wires in my detached garage sub-panel. He worked with limited space (small sub-panel) and some neutral wire length constraints. Rather than try to upsell another, more costly solution, he was able to work with what I had to produce a high quality result at a very competitive price. The second work item I had Peter help me with was installing a 40 amp 2 pole breaker and an accompanying NEMA 14-50 receptacle for EV charging. He did a fast, clean and high quality job. Everything works perfectly! Before coming, Peter and I corresponded a lot through phone and text. He asked me great questions about my specific use case and tailored a solution to my use case. I appreciated how thoughtful and thorough he was in explaining everything he wanted and needed to do. He kept exactly to what we discussed and didn't try to upsell/do any necessary work. This was a very honest and pleasant experience. Price wise, he was the most competitive by far (probably because he was the most honest about what he would do). I contacted 4 other electricians and they all quoted $300-1500 above Peter's quote. They also tried to do a lot of unnecessary, expensive work. I will definitely have Peter come out again if I have any other electrical needs. read more

Peter is an amazing and kind individual. He went above and beyond to help me with my electrical panel situation. I contacted him late in the evening and he was able to respond quickly and come the next morning. He quickly inspected the problem and was able to offer a solution for my predicament. He is professional and very knowledgeable. Peter was recommended to me by a friend and I will tell everyone I know about him for electrical services. He will definitely be my forever electrician when I need him. read more

Fantastic experience with Peter. He had great communication, was punctual, and completed the job quickly. I also appreciated that he explained the job, and gave options for my install. In the end, I chose to go with the install inside the garage on the same wall as my electrical panel. My car charges perfectly and at the rated speed. Thank you! Would definitely use him again. read more

Peter is a blessing! My friend's power went out on Christmas Eve and Peter was helping to troubleshoot for over twenty minutes on the phone.

I had such a great experience with Peter! From start to finish, he was incredibly communicative, friendly, and professional. I reached out needing some electrical work done, and he got back to me immediately, something that's surprisingly rare these days. Peter was able to fit me in within the week, showed up right on time, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was safe and done properly. I really appreciated how kind and patient he was in explaining what needed to be done for my mom and he even sent me a video afterward walking through everything he had completed, super thoughtful.

Was looking to add an outlet and also thought that I needed to replace the bathroom fan. After talking to Peter more about the situation, he came to check it out. I had originally gotten two quotes and both didn't even bother to check out the restroom fan. They just quoted to get a new one and replace it with a new one. Peter came and provided feedback. He was very helpful even getting into our attic to check out the fan. He mentioned just get a new rotor. He also helped to add an outlet and did it with no issues. I ended up getting a new rotor and the restroom fan worked just like new. Saved me a lot of money. Definitely helpful and very thorough with his work. Would definitely go to him again. read more

A few appliances at my house died within a few weeks. I asked Peter to come check it out. He did a thorough check of the outlets and the breakers. He checked everything and it seemed to be fine, just a coincidence that a few things decided to break around the same time. He explained a lot and told me what to look out for if its a problem with the electricity. I also needed a few GFI outlets installed in my garage which he took care of. He did great work and cleaned up everything he touched. To top it off his price was great as well. I will definitely keep his contact incase I need any more electrical work. read more

We had an unexpected electrical issue with two rooms in the house not getting power to the lighting fixtures. One was the bathroom so there was some urgency. Peter walked us through some initial troubleshooting in the hopes it was something simple (so he would not have to charge us) but nothing for it, he wound up coming out within hours of our first call. Within 10 minutes he had identified the wiring issue and within another 15 had resolved it. On his way out he noticed one of our hanging lamps was not installed properly and quickly fixed it and did not want to charge extra! This is the kind of response, expertise and customer service that is often completely missing today. We were very lucky to have Peter Wrate Electric resolve our electrical problem! read more

Peter is fantastic! He's response was quick. Arrived at the appointed time. He determined I had a short circuit somewhere and methodically traced the circuits at my house and narrow down the location of the short.

Peter is thor​ough and his charges was very reasonable! read more

Will for sure use him in future products related to electricity and lighting. read more

Contacted Peter last night and had a time scheduled to have my circuit breaker repaired within an hour. His work was thorough given that what seemed to be a minor swap for a burnt out circuit breaker was a main breaker repair in disguise. Peter gave me his hourly rate, broke down the part costs, and performed his work quickly. I got a bit of education in the process and Peter was the consummate professional. Great value, sound work, and pleasant person. Highly, highly recommended. read more

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. read more
