They were easy to work with and made sure I was happy with the final result. I appreciated their willingness to not only get the job done right, but also work with me to be sure I was happy with the placement of all the lights, switches and outlets. They went the extra mile finding a part to put up an antique light from my great grandfather's store. I could not be more pleased with their work. read more

In our opinion, one of the best electrical companies in the World.

Useless and arrogant. I had a circuit breaker that kept tripping, so I called Zapata's because they were the ones who initially wired the house (and did some switches incorrectly--but that's another issue that was resolved). The technician showed up and without even measuring current draw determined in about two minutes that the breaker was overloaded. Because the circuit included the front porch and foyer (something I didn't realize and a poor design IMO), I conceded that it *might* be overloaded with the Christmas lights, even though in the six years I've lived in the house it's never been a problem. After Christmas, I had the same problem and asked them to come back out. They wouldn't come out without charging me again, even after I explained that the problem still existed after I removed the supposed problem. They said they'd come out and if the technician was wrong before, they wouldn't charge me. Seriously??? What kind of self serving proposition is that? Of course he wouldn't be wrong! He was so cocksure the first time around and had little patience to speak with me (though he did have time to try to sell me a new line and breaker). I bought a current meter and tested it myself. I can't find any overload, though there is a laser printer that *could* be causing the breaker to trip because of its peak current draw, but that wasn't what the technician said. He blamed it on the Christmas lights and a generic overload condition. He was also kind of condescending, even after I told him I was an electronic engineer and know a little bit about electricity. I asked him if it could be the breaker itself. Nope! Not that. I won't be using Zapata's ever again. All they had to do was come out and look at the problem again without charging me. It wouldn't have taken five minutes because that's how long it took the first time. I think I was clear about the problem and that the diagnosis was hasty and presumptuous. It was a diagnosis, so it wasn't like I was trying to get something free. I just wanted it done properly. Update: The circuit had been fine up until today (31 August 2021), but the breaker just tripped several times. There has been NO CHANGE to anything I've plugged in or turned on since the first incident. This is definitely a problem that was beyond Zapata's technician's inclination or ability to diagnose. There is nothing exceeding 15A (not even close) on this circuit. Zapata's was the company who did the house wiring to begin with, so it's probably something they did wrong. Update 2: I had Combat Electric look at the problem. He properly diagnosed it and fixed it. Turned out to be the circuit breaker that Zapata's employee was so sure wasn't the problem. read more

I wish I could give this company zero stars! They were the company who wired my new home. After the home was no longer under warranty, my breaker box started tripping and lights were going out. Called this company since they should've been familiar with the wiring. No return call to schedule. I had to call them back. Two electricians came out and stayed for 2 hours. Within 12 hours my power tripped again! Called the company back and they were supposed to return the call to schedule the same electricians to come back. I called them back 2 days later! Claimed the 1st hour would be free and they'd charge for anything after that and then sent me a $550 invoice for the work they didn't do correctly! I called another electrician and he fixed what they did incorrectly! Do not use this company! Poor customer service and they charged me for work the did incorrectly! read more

They install faulty breakers, then charge you to replace them. Don't bother.

Just got a returned phone call from Rob Zapata's electric. They are not taking on new clients for a couple of months.

The guys were very professional and answered all my questions. They fixed the problem which required them to replace underground wiring. They were quick and efficient. I would recommend them to family. read more

Zapata's electric was recommended to me for issues I had with a porch light. I had to wait for an appointment but it wasn't an emergency. The two employees who showed up were very professional and had the problem fixed in no time. Would use them again. read more
