I needed an electrician quickly and I found Peter on Yelp. He came right away and was quick to diagnose our electrical issue. He was very knowledgeable and his price was very affordable, compared to other electricians I called. Will definitely use his services from now on! read more

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. read more

Peter is very good at his job. My interaction with him was professional, punctual, knowledgeable and friendly. He provides fair prices and good service. I plan to continue to use him for my future electrical needs. read more

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. read more

We been using Peter for 2 years and highly recommend, he really knows his stuff and very reasonable pricing.

I called Peter. He arrived within 15 mins. Solved my problem and taught me how to check the breaks. Highly recommend.

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! read more

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. read more

Peter is very professional and accurate about situation and bill very reasonable! Will ask his service next time!

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. read more

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! ;) read more

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. read more

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!! read more

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! read more

Great service, Peter finished everything and did a great job same day. I highly recommend him and would use his services again in the future. Great work read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Peter Wrate Electric - Electricians Near Me - Rosemead, California

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. read more

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. read more

Peter is always on time and does amazing work. He has done multiple jobs for us throughout the years.

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! read more

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. read more

Peter is honest and reliable. Went above and beyond for me, helping out on a weekend. Definitely recommend!!!

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, Knowledgeable, Friendly and Economical. What's not to LOVE! Thanks, Peter. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Went outside to reset my breakers. I had a stuck 100 amp breaker. Peter came out bright and early to replace it. He was on time and his prices are excellent. I definitely will use him for future electrical needs. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more
