John Hope Electric

Great company to work with. Very responsive and willing to help. I highly recommend. Technician was great.

Came out to put a generator plug on my house so I don't have to deal with extension cords when PGE cuts us off. Connor came to look at the application before quoting, and the quote had options that were explained clearly. The guy that came was professional, clean and friendly. Took the time to understand what I needed and explained what he did and how to use it. Definitely a good experience, we'll use them again.

Absolute dream to work with. Highly skilled staff, responsive and responsible. Integrity is John's over riding principle.

John Hope was there when I needed him. He responded on a Sunday and helped me trouble shoot me problem safely during our storm. His staff called me on Monday and they were efficient and understanding of my urgent need for a service call. During the increased demands helping others they made room for a visit to my home for professional help. I am thankful we have such a professional and compassionate company in our community!

We call This Company yesterday asking to put up my Chandelier! The service is fast enough and not making me wait any longer! I'm so happy with the result! DEFINITELY We will use again this Company to switch & put more lights in the future.! Thanks guys.!

The entire team at Hope electric is fantastic and highly professional. We purchased and had installed a Generac 22KW generator from them. The installation was complex since we had another smaller gasoline generator that we wanted to keep in the circuit and be able to run. Additionally there was some outside wiring that needed to be upgraded, AND we wanted to get this all permitted.

Building permits in Santa Cruz are not easy. They did a fantastic job of the installation, the set up and dealing with the county. They overcame numerous problems for us, got the work done in a timely manner with no price surprises. I can not recommend them highly enough. Not much room here, but I would be happy to fill your ears with more good things about them. Walt Brown, waltinusa@yahoo.com

John Hope Electric did a good job with a good price on my home outdoor lighting. So I called them again to do install a new fixture and re-do some plugs and also look at some track lighting for my rental. They quoted the work on a T&M basis and I noted how long they worked. While they did good work, the billing department sent me a bill which reflected a much longer, obviously approximate time ("2 guys for a half day") which after asking questions, they started handwaving "this included travel time, and set-up time".

After I called them out that no one charges for any of that, and I told them I was there and the times did not line up. They did settle with me on the right charges but I did not appreciate having to police their hours, have to call them on this, and argue with the company about the bill. I am not going back to John Hope, I am sorry they did really nice work, spoiled by the accounting dept bad experience

What can I say, these guys did it again, renewed my faith in American small business quality! This is second time I used them, had to get additional outlet for a new electric water heater, Juan came early morning with everything ready to go. He even siliconed around a drilled hole from exterior to make sure a mouse couldn't get in. Then made sure that the plumber had connections that he might not have on hand. Good to see people still proud of their work and care about the details.keep it up guys!

So responsive to our call; courteous staff. Jose did an awesome job figuring out what our problem was and then not only fixing it, but he explained what had caused our electricity to go out, and then made recommendations for improvement for the future. Would definitely recommend them!

They were communicative, accommodating and professional. At a time when it's hard to get a tradesman because everyone is so busy they were able to find time and do a quality job. Their electrician. Patrick was extremely personable and helpful.

Great service. Courteous and knowledgeable technician! I'm very happy. Will definitely refer to a friend! And use them again!

John Hope Electric has assembled a staff of highly motivated individuals, from Ocea in the front office asking all the right questions to Jesus thinking outside of the box in the field to resolve the gremlins that surfaced unexpectedly. Last but not least, Diane in Accounts Receivable is concise as well as accommodating when it comes time to "paying the Lady". In closing, thank you all for all you've done!

We've used a John hope at my business and I recently needed some home repairs done. Their service was prompt, thorough and professional and he even found a potentially bigger problem by doing a quick safety inspection beyond the immediate known problem. I trust John Hope Electric for my business and home. The price was at market for our area. Thank you for your help.

Thank you John Hope Electric for your quick response and for your excellent service. Staff and electricians were amiable, and professional. I will call on you again as needed. And, I will refer you to my family and friends.

John is knowledgeable and scheduled us in fast. The price was reasonable and lower than competitors. Happy with the work.

They do a great job explaining the project, gave a fair estimate, and their electrician did an amazing job! I know who I'll go to for my future needs.

Umm. $5000 to install two 220V power outlets? 2-3 hours of work, about 150 feet of wire and two circuit breakers? Thanks, but no thanks. Took me just a little over an hour to get both installed myself. P.S. my review is solely based on the price quoted. I can't provide any work quality review. But for this much money? Are the wires they install made out of gold? P.P.S.

Total time spent: about 20 minutes doing research online, about an hour at Home Depot. About 1.5 hours installing everything. P.P.P.S. Total amount of money spent: about $150. In response to John H. the owner: like I said, it took a total of about $150 for materials and a few hours of work for me to do the same job you quote $5000 to do, with all the permits and certifications (yes, I am certified to work with electrical equipment).

All the outdoor certified conduits, the properly gauged wires, the double-pole circuit breakers - that all costs pennies. The work itself doesn't require any PhDs or even a masters degree (heck, not even a bachelors one!) I'm sure there are people who are happy to part with their money to get a nail hammered into a wall to hang a picture. I'm not one of them.

If I'm quoted exorbitant amount of money for a job that requires very little skill or education - I'll do my research and do the job myself, thank you very much. 3 hour job at $5000 - that's over $1500 per hour. Even lawyers rarely charge that much. And, by the way, the price quoted is nearly double of what the next highest quote I got from local electricians. The most acceptable quote I got was about $500 per circuit. Still too high, in my opinion, but $1000 for two circuits definitely beats the $5000.

These guys came on time, fixed the issue in literally a minute and were very helpful and pleasant after. I'm the idiot who should have known what the problem was, and they didn't make me feel bad and were totally reasonable about all of it. Thanks for your business.

We had a breaker that kept tripping in our office shutting all our computers off constantly. What a mess. We called John Hope Electric. A few hours after our call to them, hey sent out Conner to fix it. He was intelligent and methodical in his trouble shooting. He located our problem and repaired it in a timely manner. Thank you!

I'd like to express my sincere gratitude for your professionalism and quality work. Since your initial job proposal back in February to the nearly weekly phone calls to report on the status of PG&E confirmation, you have been a delight to work with. Your electricians Nick and Jose worked hard to bring our home up to standar with a new 200-amp service/load center.

I'd like to commend the work of Stu Hacker who repaired a faulty circuit in my house on Monday morning. After calling 3 other companies, yours was the first to have a technician available within the hour. Stu was professional, personable, respectful, and exhibited amazing skill in locating the break in the faulty circuit.

The lack of followthrough from this company astounds me Call them after a quote, no one remembers it Email and email Guess they have too much business

Working with John Hope Electric Inc. has been a pleasure. They have been helpful in both the designing of projects as well as the general completion of projects in an 'on time' and 'on budget' manner. Their work on the New Leaf Markets in Half Moon Bay and the Westside of Santa Cruz was essential to the successful opening and operation of 20,000 sq. ft. of retail space.

John Hope Electric took care of all things electrical for two giant projects, the remodel of New Leaf Half Moon Bay and the building of the New Leaf on the Westside in Santa Cruz.
