Santa Fe Electric

I phoned Santa Fe Electric for help in installing a ballast for an LED/fluorescent light fixture. My call went to voice mail, and I left my name, phone number, and the kind of help that I needed. The voice mail recording said “I WILL get back to you.” That has not happened. I have heard nothing during the past week. I will not be contacting Santa Fe Electric for help in the future.

I am very happy. My call for an estimate was answered quickly and the work scheduled quickly too. I've had the light fixed 2 times already and it stopped working after a few days. Peter knew just what the problem was. Fast and right. Very fair prices. I highly recommend.

Wired smoke alarms started going off erratically in early evening, sending dogs into a frenzy. Peter came out to fix on very short notice, saving everyone a sleepless night. I've used Santa Fe Electric several times before, and have been glad I did every time. He is a real asset to the area.

Great knowing we have home grown and friendly professionals to rely on. Definitely will use again when need arises!

Peter is the best! Expert level electrician, professional and overall awesome nice guy! Definitely recommend!

The owner and assistant were both prompt, professional, knowledgeable, courteous and neat. They completed the work in a timely fashion and exceeded expectations. By far the best experience ever with an electrician. We recommend Peter and Santa Fe Electric highly.

Peter Montoya was amazing,He was at my house within a half hour of when I called him .He and his helper understood the problem instantly ,got right to work a fixed the problem quickly.It is so refreshing to watch a master at work.(a very rare sight these days indeed)

Wonderfully. Professional, explained everything, stayed focused and positive, creative at handling obstacles. Just be flexible with your schedule since they really work hard at getting it right, which means it may take a bit longer than scheduled to get to you from their previous job. But that also means they didn’t leave our house until all was perfect. Not a negative by any means, just something to schedule for.

Crew was free earlierr than originally scheduled, so they called and came early. The work was done quickly and efficiently just as discussed in original proposal. Crew was courteous and friendly.

Everything went fine. He showed on time and performed the work efficiently. Very pleased and will definitely use again.

they came out and looked at what was needed but never got back with the price

Mr. Montoya was pleasant and explained all the options I had in order to fix the electrical problem. He cleaned out the breaker box and everything seems to be working great. He did not pressure me to take any drastic measures right now but left options open.

I'm really glad to have found Peter Montoya/Santa Fe Electric for electrical work in this area. Highly professional and engaged with his work, the price is fair, and I am confident in the end product, He will be my first choice in any such projects going forward.

Peter Montoya came over, told me what they would do and we picked out the lights. When they didn't get back to me after two weeks I called several times leaving messages for a week. They never got back to me.

We were impressed with Santa Fe Electric's work. It was a tough installation in a 19' cathedral ceiling. They were well organized, neat and courteous. We will be using them again.

Peter and his partner were prompt, thorough, and very professional. We will certainly use them again and highly recommend their services.

Very quick and professional service. Helped us deal with the incompetence of the supplier who gave wrong parts for the track system. Did not charge extra for some of the time that took.

Peter did an excellent job. I called in the morning and he was able to come in the afternoon and fix my light. I had called other electricians in the past who weren't able to fix my problem. I would highly recommend Peter for any household electrical problem. Also, his price was reasonable and he has a pleasant personality.

I made an appointment with Peter which worked fine but he would not respond when I asked him how much it would be. I called him the morning of the appointment an hour before to talk about pricing and he said $125 an hour. He did not show up. I called him 30 minutes after he was due and he said he was working on a proposal and running late. This didn't work for my Monday morning.

They were marvelous. Fixed everything, found some extras to fix, very friendly and polite.

First, I have not had great luck finding good contractors in the Santa Fe area. However, Santa Fe Electric is an exception: In the first case, the outside lighting, I had had two other people work on the problem over several previous years. Neither fix lasted more than a couple months. Further, there was one issue both said could not be corrected. But when Peter Montoya and his associate came out, they dug in, did the dirty work, and today the lighting is still working perfectly--and they fixed the 'unfixable' problem..... I had them out again when the fan in my shop air filtration system would try to start up unexpectedly--like when I turned on a light or fan in another room. Peter Montoya came out and did a thorough investigation. Finding nothing, he had me call the public utility to check the outside connection. When they found nothing wrong on their end, he even talked an out of state engineer friend about the problem--he was taking ownership of the issue. (Turns out it was a faulty circuit board, which Peter had told me to have checked).... I fully respect the integrity and ability of Santa Fe Electric. And Peter Montoya is a very easy and pleasant person to work with.

Peter Montoya was terrific, personable, and experienced. He performed the work over a 3 day period (about 3 hours/day) and made several recommendations along the way. He had an assistant (Joe) that helped him, so the hourly rate was higher ($115) but I think they worked together efficiently.

This was our first time using Santa Fe Electric. I saw the positive reviews on Angie's List, and also checked their NM Contractor's License with the State (valid), and their rating on the BBB (A+). We weren't disappointed - Peter & Joe were great! They first tried to help me diagnose & fix the problem over the phone (during off hours) at no charge. We did wind up needing in-person assistance the next day, and Peter told me approximately when he would be available. Then he called when he was heading over - great communication! Peter and Joe were very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. They determined that the overhead garage door outlet was tripped from a hidden GFI outlet in the garage. They verified that the GFI outlets in the bathroom were working properly, and replaced an exterior patio GFI outlet. He also gave us some other safety recommendations. It is wonderful to find a great, honest, fair, and reputable contractor. We would use Santa Fe Electric again. Thanks for your help, Peter & Joe!

Peter did a great job of quickly assessing the problem and getting to the root of the problem within minutes. He explaining to me what needed to be done and when finished he thoroughly tested the circuits to ensure everything was properly wired. This guy knows his business!

Contacted Santa Fe Electric to install a standard electrical receptacle in a walk-in closet. Contractor was punctual and completed the job in less than one hour. Very pleased with outcome. Moreover, this was a small job which also served as an audition for another, slightly larger project.
