This review is way overdue: Emanuel has been my go to person for the last 10+ years we've lived in our home in Campbell. Recessed lighting, car charger, hot tub, breaker box, ... you name it, he's gotten it done for us. High quality work that he takes pride in. Punctual, trustworthy and professional. I love that he is always treating our house as if it were our own: helping move furniture, keeping work areas clean during and after his work, suggesting improvements we might want to look into and so on. He has an eye for elegance and aesthetic so that the final work actually is easy on the eye. He also has on hand a crew of other tradesmen for things like stucco finish, or trenching and landscaping, that aren't in his wheelhouse. His pricing is very competitive and well deserved for the quality of the work we get, and his friendliness and manners make him a pleasure to have around. read more

Very knowledgeable. This company was sent to our apartment by our property management to update a bathroom light. They were done within 25 minutes explained everything that was going on and I was extremely happy with the end result read more

We contacted Emanuel recently to install some ceiling lights wired to the switch. He was able to schedule me quickly, and arrived on time the day of the install prepared with all the necessary equipment both for the install and for the cleanup afterwards. We decided to add some additional recess lighting after he arrived onsite, which he was happy to do, and even when as far as marking everything out on the ceiling in multiple locations to assure we were happy with the location. I definitely would not hesitate to contact Emanuel again if we need more work done in the future! read more

Emmanuel was awesome. He was able to help give me his expert advice on how and where to add a new outlet. He came over and did the work sight on seen same day. He was great to work with and made the job look easy. His price was very reasonable given the request and time. Other electricians wanted twice the amount Emmanuel quoted. I would recommend Emmanuel for any electric work needed around your house! read more

I needed main panel upgrade from 125A to 200A as a pre-requirement for solar install. Running 200A line to home can cost thousands of dollars. Emanuel explained the process and the related issues in detail. He also provided an alternate solution that was more affordable and faster. I decided to go with alternate solution (main panel upgrade with 225A Bus and solar ready). Based on his knowledge and past experience, I decided to go with Emanuel. His work included all the permits from City and coordination with PGE. He kept me in the loop on how things are going since permits took a while. I didn't have to deal with any permits or PGE. I am very happy with the work and I highly recommend Emanuel! read more

So here's what I have to say--A MIRACLE HAS OCCURRED in Santa Clara County. My elderly mother needed some straightforward electrical work done at her home in Saratoga. My dad was a nuclear engineer who took care of everything and since he died, we've been on the hunt for vendors (painters, plumbers, electricians) who can be her go-to resources. We called 5 electricians to do the work (extra outlet, cell phone booster, swap trim kits) and either they never returned calls or had a waitlist of over 2 months and that was just to estimate work. Enter Emanuel. Found him on Yelp, texted him and guess what? He was out the NEXT DAY and got the jobs DONE. He and Pablo were kind, did a full recon of the house (built in the 1930's), brought their own vacuum, and deserve 10 stars. Well done, ECP Electric!!! read more

Took them more than a month to respond. Don't know who can wait indefinitely for the work to be done. read more

Emmanuel efficiently completed a heat pump wiring circuit. He was flexible in scheduling and easy to work with.

Emanuel was the second electrician I contacted for an estimate for a repair. He found a solution to the problem that the first electrician did not suggest or investigate. Emanuel got power to the areas that were effected. He fixed my problem in less time and a fraction of the cost that I was quoted at first. He is friendly and personable. read more

Emanuel did a very professional and clean job of replacing our old main electric panel with a solar-ready, new one. He communicated well (mostly thru text messaging) and followed through on all necessary permits with the City and PG&E (no small task!). He is proud of the work that he does and it shows in the quality. I'll certainly use him again for any other electrical upgrades or modifications we need in our home. read more

Emanuel came by our house immediately after I first called and installed a new Nest thermostat, wiring it to our furnace via the attic. He and Jesus were professional, pleasant and trustworthy. They took the extra time needed to make sure things were working as expected. He managed to fit our work into his busy schedule, which helped us enormously and got our furnace working properly. They came by a week later to install new light fixtues in our garage. I'm confident that Emanuel will be able to help us with any future electrical needs that we might even have. I'd highly recommend ECP Electric! read more

I'm very happy with my Panel replacement done by ECP, Emanuel and and the were on time and executed perfectly. This is our neighborhood go to crew for anything electrical big or small. read more

I have been hiring Emanuel back again and again for years. He's done small jobs and large at my house. He offers flexible and creative solutions. His work is high quality. His prices are very reasonable. But most importantly, he's a nice and honest person. At my house he has installed new 50 Amp lines for an EV, wired up electric heaters, re-routed electrical outlets, added outdoor flood and deck lighting and added sub-panels. read more

I was in the middle of a small project rewiring a dimmer switch in a 4 gang box and had mis-wired the switch and fried it when I turned on the breaker. Because of the number of wires in the 4 gang box, I was stumped as to how to fix this situation; I decided to call an electrician. It being Saturday afternoon, I knew it would be expensive to get an electrician out to correct my mistake. I called Emanuel Perakis but unfortunately he said he had been out all day on jobs and was done for the day. Here is the amazing part and why I gave Emanuel 5 stars here! Emanuel took the time on the phone to figure out the wiring and walked me through how to correct the issue! He could have easily just said he couldn't help without scheduling a call! A quick trip to Home Depot to buy a new dimmer and I wired in the new switch per Emanuel's instructions and we are back in business! Thank you to Emanuel Perakis for taking the time out of his Saturday afternoon to help me out!! A true professional and OUTSTANDING customer service! read more

I needed to upgrade a panel and install some new lights and switches inside the house. I called Emanuel and set up an appointment. Was right on time and worked very cleanly. Had him return for a few smaller items after that initial appointment and everything was spot on! Easy five stars. Thanks! read more

Emanuel and his team came over to install an EV charger in our garage. He was on time, informative, and paid very close attention to detail to make sure the plug was fastened security, in a properly sized enclosure, level, and used a more robust breaker in the panel, and even fixed some of the poor work done by the previous electrician for free. They cleaned up after themselves and and even allowed my to watch and helped explain what they were doing. I will definitely reach out again if I have any further electrical needs. read more

Emanuel came over went into a detailed idea of what he was going to do and how he was going to do it for an electrical panel upgrade. Checked out panel etc with covid safe protocols. Said he would get me out a detailed quote with price, March 1st or 2nd. They would get me a quote in the next few days, no quote or response. Then April 2nd he texted me again saying sorry he was busy and he would write me a quote this weekend and then no email quote or follow up as of April 20th. Seemed like a good guy who knew was he was talking about just didn't want the business I guess. read more

Emanuel prides himself on delivering quality and is passionate about making his customers happy with his services. He is very knowledgable in his domain and quite personable. read more

We had Emanuel come in and install 11 exterior lights and 1 exterior drop down light. He was great, very professional, clearly knows what he is doing but you would expect that from a licensed electrician. The best three characteristics are 1) his personality 2) the ease at which you can talk to him and 3) his ability to quickly get the job done. He goes above the call as he offered to take the garbage with him. We would absolutely use him again. He takes providing service to a higher level. He is very competitive on his pricing. read more

We needed our main panel to be replaced as it was old & burned out. I contact Emanuel and he was very professional and prompt in his response & patiently answered all my questions and concerns. He gave me a quote, came by to review the panel and the work that needs to be done. He also issued a permit with San Jose city and on the schedule day by PG&E he & his crew were 15 min early and got just right to it. They did a professional job and inspection by the city went flawlessly! I must note that I contacted Emanuel a year back when I had a power outage along other electricians I contacted. I could not get anyone to come and Emanuel did above and beyond to find me someone to help as he did not have time. read more

I had a serious problem with an old breaker panel that was causing regular unexplained electric problems. A highly qualified licensed electrician explained the solution clearly and provided a very reasonable estimate. He replaced the entire panel, all of the breakers (a number of which were in danger of causing a fire by not operating as necessary), showed me all of the replaced and damaged parts, cleaned up all of the messy wiring, installed new LED lighting in our garage, and left only after cleaning all of the mess beyond my expectations. I highly recommend this outstanding professional for even your most complex problems and/or new installations. read more

They came, they saw, they kicked a**. Solid professionalism, efficiency (not an energy star pun), attention to detail and care were all part of an update to some recessed kitchen lights and a master bath fan on life support. In an endless and confusing sea of product choices, this team is skilled in knowing how and exactly what to use to solve problems with durable results. Highly recommended... don't hesitate to call them. read more

I used Emanuel's service to install couple of receptacles in the attic, and to get Nest Hello installed. I did not have any existing doorbell, so the job involved installing the transformer, the chime, Nest Hello; and connect all of them together. Emanuel did an amazing job. He is a very friendly guy; and he strives to find the best solution. While running the transformer wiring for Nest Hello, he hit the concrete foundation that prevented him from taking the transformer power to Nest Hello. He explained the problem to me. He spent time thinking about various possible solutions, and finally came up with the least intrusive solution. It was amazing to see how he applied his mind to solve the problem. I would highly recommend Emanuel for any household electrical project. He says, everything is possible! I love his positive attitude, and his passion towards the job that he does. Now I am his lifelong customer! read more

We're not ones to write many Yelp reviews, but we felt the need in this case. Emanuel not only did a wonderful job installing new recessed lighting and switches (without damaging our old lathe and plaster), but he also walked us through issues we were having with the city, PG&E, and work done by a past electrician. He was patient, responsive, and did excellent work. Emanuel was always on-time and communicated very well throughout the entire process. We can't recommend him enough! read more

I contacted Emanuel to install a generator inlet for my house so I could have whole house power in case of an outage. I purchased the generator and the manual transfer switch for my panel and Emanuel came, installed an appropriate inlet and connected everything to the panel appropriately. It took about 2h all in all (there was stuff that needed to be moved in the panel) and the end result was very clean and well done; he even relabeled the panel as needed. Price was not cheap but fair (at least I thought) and was on par with his estimate. read more

Finding a reliable electrician is hard. Finding one that stands up for his work and ensures satisfaction is even more difficult. Emanuel is someone who makes sure he gets things right and gets you pointed in the right direction. If you want someone who really cares about his profession and about making things right for his clients, I would highly recommend him. read more

Wanted to give a shout out to Emanuel. I called late on a Sunday night with an electrical panel issue. On the message he said he excepted text messages so I replied with issue and within a few minutes he replied asking for pictures of panel and his availability for the next day. Emanuel was prompt, polite and fixed not only the current issue with our panel but went above and beyond by checking and replaced one of the old plugs. I will use him again on any future projects. Thanks again Emanuel! Paul & Stacey C. read more

I called Emanuel for an estimate on a short-notice job. He took the time to understand my requirements over the phone, let me know about what code does/doesn't require, etc. I unfortunately forgot to mention up front that I needed the work done two days hence, which I should have said first. He wasn't available in that timeframe, but he went ahead and gave me an estimate on what the work should cost to keep me from getting gouged by someone else. Emanuel is a straight shooter, completely transparent, and the kind of professional I like to work with. He didn't happen to be available in my very-short-notice timeframe, but I hope to use him in the future! read more

We worked with Emanuel to update our old 40A(!) service panel to a new 200A panel, to replace all the old knob and tube wiring in the house, and to fix some amateurish sub-panel work performed by previous owners. Of all the electricians I contacted for this job, he's the only one who actually seemed interested in doing this job. His price seemed reasonable, and he was always straightforward and informative about the work he would need to do. The entire process took over a month because we needed to get permits and to coordinate with PG&E to run new 220V overhead service wires to the house, but throughout Emanuel was always easy to reach and quick to respond to texts and voicemails, even when he was busy with other projects. He and his assistant finished the interior work quickly and with a minimum amount of mess. He even installed extra GFCI breakers for when we update our kitchen in the future. Overall, a very good experience. read more

Got a small fixup and contacted Emanuel. He responded promptly and team showed up as promised. Job was done very cleanly, above and beyond what I expected. Emanuel really cares about his customers and was patient to address all my concerns. I am happy with his attention to details and professionalism. This is the second time I have his service and his work quality, professionalism, and commitment to customer satisfaction have been consistent over the years. Highly recommended. read more

I tried to work with Emanuel based on a recommendation from a friend. It took a long time to get hold of him, but I waited. Then I spent a lot of time explaining in detail (to Emanuel) what my issues and concerns were and we set a time and day for Emanuel to come by and take care of things. Day of the appointment, someone knocks on my door and says he doesn't know where Emanuel is, but he's here to fix my electrical issues. Then he asks me what my issues are. My head caught fire at that point. Emanuel literally texted me right before that knock, saying that HE was on his way - then someone else shows up with no clue of what I needed? I got no notice, no call, no text, no nothing from Emanuel to explain this?? Not before, during, or after. This happened months ago and I'm still fuming about this entire experience. I paid hundreds of dollars for 10 minutes of work and not even half of what I expected to get. I could have hired a handyman and paid 1/4 for the same work (changing two outlets). They may not care about my business, but best believe they cashed my check real QUICK. I almost walked away from writing this review, but nobody had any basic courtesy to follow up like they told me they would. Naive me was even willing to give them more business. Honesty, integrity, and communication are important in any service business. It seems Emanuel has too much business to worry about every customer. Glad I moved on. read more

Emanuel is the best by far! I say this through experience because I actually called and hired two other electricians for some work (and got estimates from several other electricians) for install of a new 200 amp service panel etc. But ECP Electric (Emanuel Perakis) was the best by far across the board for both price and more importantly, quality of work. Oh I wish I had worked with Emanuel from the beginning for the initial service panel install. Emanuel will always be the electrician I call in the future and recommend to friends. Because Emanuel runs a small operation, you'll always get Emanuel and his co-worker Pablo to do your electrical job in person (and not some random crew you didn't get to meet or chat with during an estimate visit - if you have had any kind of service work done on your home, you know how much this can actually matter) Emanuel and Pablo did a bunch of things over the course of a few separate visits: 1) they installed new branch circuit to garage, installed and wired 4 new garage grounded outlets along the walls, installed new washer/dryer outlets and cleaned up existing washer/dryer wiring, removed all the old "not-to-code" 1960s DIY electrical wires, lighting and conduits throughout the garage, installed a new interior garage light 2) installed exterior lights (exterior garage carriage lights with a digital timer switch, exterior Ring motion detecting security light, and exterior lights for the backyard of the home) 3) were willing to and did a great job cleaning up poor and sloppy service panel wiring by a previous company - basically they redid most of the wiring per my request 4) installed new recessed LED lights throughout the home (in process they found and fixed poor, fire hazard electrical work in attic by the previous home owner's handyman) 5) inspected electrical wiring in crawl space underneath home to sanity check for any issues, fixed an awkwardly installed outlet by a previous electrician in a kitchen cabinet, added a quad outlet underneath kitchen sink to better accommodate RO filter/dish washer/garbage disposal plugs Highly recommend! read more

I got a hold of Emanuel through a handyman who was doing some other work in my house. Emanuel was very prompt and made sure to get the situation prior to starting the work and even making suggestions on options. He fixed some mistakes on some of the previous work that was done, correcting some potentially hazardous situations. He takes the time to do the job right and also took the time to explain some of the work he did. While doing his latest job, he identified another upgrade that helped tremendously. I would recommend Emanuel's work to all my friends and family. read more

We had an issue with the GFI outlet in the bathroom and called to see if they could check it out. He answered the phone right away. He gave me some guidance on how to fix it and offered to walk me thru it or come out the next day. I followed his advice and was able to fix the new GFI myself. Super helpful and high integrity! read more

I called Emanuel and explained what I wanted done (4 plug grounds added, two new circuit breakers and wiring to new sockets, move 220VAC plug, clean up some panel wiring, etc.). He came out the next day, surveyed the situation, sent me a quote that night, that I accepted the next day. We set a date about a week away, said he would be there at 8am. He was there on the dot with his assistant Nick, got everything done by 2:30pm. They cleaned up very nicely, including filing in the small guide holes they drilled in the hardwood floors (to ground the plugs). You couldn't even see them. They put a large drop cloth around the crawl space to avoid tracking dirt into the house. Very professional. All in all, great work done. I am going to have Emanuel come back to upgrade my old, rusted out 100amp panel to a 200amp in the near future. read more

We were extremely pleased with our experience with ECP Electric. Emanuel went above and beyond to help us with our situation. Our project involved converting the two pronged outlets in our house to three pronged ones. He was prompt, providing fast response whenever we had inquiries, was punctual, and completed the work on schedule with a high level of quality. During our project, Emanuel really went out of his way to work with the city to ensure that our permitting process went smoothly. We found that his level of personal engagement with us really differentiated him from other contractors with whom we have worked. We were grateful for his high level of commitment to our success. We really liked his customer oriented approach and highly recommend his services. read more

Emanuel (ECP Electric) is friendly, polite, responsive, and transparent with regard to the cost. He is the owner but he is hands-on along with his professional workers. The project: They brought the ground wire to the outlets for the whole house using the crawl space and the attic during two cold/rainy days. I am really happy with the result and I will go back to him for my next project. read more

This is review for the phone call since the problem was solved over phone therefore the service was not needed. Some of my kitchen power outlets are not working, after reading so many good reviews, I called Emanuel and summed up the problem, he told me straight "To save you money, maybe you can try to reset the power outlet yourself." and gave me some instructions. I tried and the outlets are all back on. Thanks for the free advise!! read more

I called Emanuel based on the good reviews, and found them all to be true. We upgraded to a 200amp panel with permits, installed a disconnect for a mini split ac unit, and also grounded an outlet. He and his other electrician Ted did the work themselves and they were very respectful moving in and around the house. I shopped around and his prices were very competitive. I appreciated that he was careful and didn't damage our drywall when grounding the outlet. He also did a good job of patching the exterior wall around the new panel with matching stucco. I also agree with another reviewer that he has a great personality and sense of humor! Just a note, he also goes by ECP electric (which stands for his name). read more

I felt wary of hiring an electrician because of poor past experiences with other service people. It's easy to feel vulnerable when you need to hire someone in a field that you know nothing about. The Yelp reviews led me to Emanuel and he changed that feeling completely. He is the perfect professional, friendly, down to earth, explained the problem issue in a way I understood, charged the price that he had 'guesstimated', and was a delightful guy. He was immediately able to identify the reason that a breaker kept tripping, repaired it, and suggested other simple upgrades to my 37-year-old home that would make it safer and bring it into compliance with current codes. You cannot go wrong with this guy. I would strongly recommend him to my family/friends and to anyone with electrical problems. read more
