From my original phone call to the repair itself, a great experience. I needed same day repair due to blown circuit having our refrigerator on it. Very professional, courteous and timely. Highly recommend! read more

Zar Electric wired our home and hung all new fixtures throughout our home early 2025 and did a fantastic job! They were very professional and attentive and very friendly to our kids and all of our pets! We appreciate them and their great work, especially on the scaffolding in our 2 story cathedral ceiling foyer. read more

See all

Absolutely totally outrageous pricing. The first man, Tim, who came out did a wonderful job at a reasonable price. he was supposed to do a second job and that was included in the estimate, but I did not have time to do it that day. I got a reminder from Zara electric that I had a $100 credit. I needed a socket changed out in a light fixture in the bathroom and decided, with $100 credit, I would let Zara electric do it rather than doing it myself. I told them the socket was loose and they sent a man out. He told me there was a diagnostic charge. I told him that I already knew what was wrong and I just needed him to please fix it. My mistake... I assumed since I had a $100 credit that I'd probably be charged an additional $75 or so to fix the socket. He charged me over $400 and said that was taking the hundred dollars off. In other words, a couple hundred for a diagnostic fee and a couple hundred to fix the problem. Before he fixed it, he said I just to sign some papers to give authorization to fix it and I stupidly did not read the papers. I paid them and I will never use them again nor will I recommend them to anybody. The pricing is totally out of this world and if you use them, make sure you check to see what their diagnostic fee is and make sure that they don't charge you that fee in addition to a high repair fee which is what happened to me. The socket I needed repaired for a stuck lightbulb. I did it myself.!!! read more

Had a whole house surge protector and GFI outlet replaced. DJ was the tech. He explained everything, was on time and courteous. Cleaned up the place and relabeled the breaker box. From the office to the tech work, everything was fast and efficient. They take pride in their work. I'll use them again. read more

We have had an exceptional experience with Zar Electric and will hire them again and again in the future. The level of care and overall skill they bring to the job is appreciated! If you've ever had a bad experience with an electrician in the past, you'll appreciate Zar and the value they offer. They begin service with a complimentary home assessment (we hired them for installation of lights, wiring for a tv mount, etc.) and explain everything they are doing to help educate you as the homeowner. They are extremely humble as well and wonderful people. It is obvious now in hindsight, but I didn't even realize that the owner, Sean, was part of the crew servicing our account. He was that kind, approachable and accommodating. His staff Jeff and Phillip were excellent also. They are professional in every way, from the introduction walking in the door to cleaning up on the way out. We are so fortunate our realtor recommended this company. read more

Too expensive. Will only give quote after you sign form for home electrical inspection. Then give quote $552 to just move a plug from one garage wall to another, which of course is outrageous, so we said 'no way'. And they had the nerve to charge $69 fee for a quote (over the phone I was told that fee would be waived), but when I called them on it, they said the quote is only waived if they get hired for the service. Good easy way to make money on quotes, by over estimate simple jobs. read more

I am a first time home buyer and the house I purchased was a 1938 small farmhouse. Needless to say the electrical needed to be updated. ZarElectric was recommended to me by a friend and like most people I trusted in my friends recommendation....best decision ever! Sean came over to my new home and spent about 2 hours with me going over the updates that needed to be made, reviewing my budget, setting a timeline, etc. When he left after that initial visit not only did I feel informed about my own home and the repairs that needed to be made, I also felt extremely confident that I had hired someone who truly valued his customers and wasnt simply looking at me like a paycheck. There were 3 ZarElectric employees that worked on my home Sean, Zack and Craig. Zack and Craig were the primary 2 who work on the project of my home and honestly you couldnt ask for 2 better guys. They showed up on time if not a little early, worked at a consistent pace throughtout the day and informed me of updates to their work progress or of anything out of the ordinary that would need to be fixed before they would want to go further. Example: a few beams that had termite damage that they thought i might want to repair before they progressed further. The most 3 most important aspects of any job are 1) Quality of work 2) Timeliness and 3) Coming in on budget. ZarElectric met and surpassed ALL of my expectations. They are the ONLY company I will EVER use when it comes to electrical work. I cant say enough good things about them. I look forward to working with them again. read more

Really great service! Zar Electric wired 4 or so rooms in our house for Cat5 connectivity that were previously not wired for it. The service was top notch. They only ran into one decent sized snag in the crawlspace with wiring. But they got it figured out in minutes. I could tell the guys were really experienced while they worked through any planning or obstacles. We would use Zar Electric again in this house or if we move. We have recommended them to others in our neighborhood or surrounding Raleigh and Wake Forest areas. read more

ZAR ELECTRIC is great. We had a light fixture that exploded and burned our ceiling and the circuit breaker didn't go off! We were afraid of an electrical fire. I called around to a few other electrical companies who couldn't schedule us any sooner than December! ZAR was very reassuring, told us what to do to make us safe and sent Craig out to investigate our problem. Craig called before he came, was prompt, cleaned up after the installation of our new light and checked out everything. They are a caring organization that have great customer service. We will be sure to use ZAR again for all our electrical needs. read more

I am a real estate agent with Hunter Rowe Real Estate in Raleigh. I learned about Zar Electric from another agent at our firm, and recommended them to a client. They did a great job. Since then I've used them for my own home, and recommended them to at least four more clients. Sean (the owner) is very professional, cares about the reputation of his firm and makes sure clients are taken care of right. read more

They answered the phone Dorian morning, however they insisted on a $69.00 fee to provide an estimate for work. I need ten 20 amp 4x outlets and several lighting fixtures installed in my barn at Royal. Just a start. I picked them based on location and reviews. Wasted time, George read more

The work was fine. The price was OUTRAGEOUS!! Definitely wouldn't use them again!!! Prices are ridiculous.

We both wanted to express our sincere appreciation for work done on our property to provide the 208 volts to our out building. The staff and support back of ZAR were very concerned at doing the best job that they could, and this we appreciated. The promptness and workmanship were a hallmark of professional service. It was not a stuff some wire in but planned layout that was effective, safe, and pleasing to the eye. This was our second time using ZAR and when ever the requirement comes again we will consider them. We would highly recommend this vendor Respectfully yours Ken & Hazel Rosenlund Youngsville read more

They did a great job. They came out and gave a quote in the morning and completed the work that afternoon.

I had Zar do the electrical for my wine cellar. It turned out great and the lighting is awesome in there...really sets the mood. Everyone I worked with were courteous, professional, and skilled. Thanks guys! read more

We've used ZAR Electric twice for residential electric work. Both times the entire experience with ZAR has been very positive. Excellent service - very professional office staff and technicians. read more
