I purchased a 2500 sqft townhome and hired ZED electric to perform an electrical "facelift". Specifically, all electrical outlets, wall and dimmer switches replaced, bath and laundry room exhaust fans replaced, installed recessed lights in all bedrooms, upgraded all fixtures and lights to LED, assemble and install 3 chandeliers, any evasive dry wall work was appropriately patched. The office managers, estimators and electricians who supported my 3 month long project were exceptional: responsive, courteous, knowledgeable, reliable, trustworthy, accurate, fair pricing, high quality workmanship, excellent worksite cleanliness. When I had an after hours question, and called the number on the office recording, Mr. David Zedaker himself returned my call. He didn't identify himself as the owner, I figured it out during our normal conversation. That simple gesture reflects the culture of this successful 25+ year old family owned company - they care about the customer, it starts at the top and permeates through every employee I encountered. Book with confidence. read more

Great company and service. My company manages 100s of properties and Zed is our go to electrician partner. recommend them highly!

I would recommend Zed to anyone needing electrical work on the peninsula! Calling in for a quote was super easy and without even meeting Dave I felt comfortable with him over the phone! John came over to do the work and was also so friendly and professional. The whole experience was super easy and really reasonably priced!! read more

I have used wonderful Zed electric several times. Once was for outside front walk lighting...Matt gave us an estimate and helpful ideas and the job was completed timely and looks great. Another time was after the purchase of an electric vehicle when they installed a charging station in our garage. The office staff is prompt, knowledgeable and helpful. I highly recommend Zed! read more

I have used Zed Electric several times for our business now and every time I can't say enough good things about them. They are timely, very professional and reasonable. This past time, a bit of an emergency on the weekend and I received a call from the owner, we got things sorted out and I was taken care of ASAP. All of the technicians that have come out for various repairs and other work have been super knowledgable, professional and hardworking. Their Customer service, start to finish was incredible. read more

My dining room light fixture was not working along with my two outdoor lights. I called ZED Electric in the morning on Friday, 1/2/14 and she said it would probably be Monday or Tuesday before someone could come out, which was fine with me. She took down my number and said she'd call me as soon as there was availability. She called that afternoon around 2 and I was home. She sent over the electrician, who was super cool. I told him I wanted to fix the fixtures, as opposed to replacing. The dining room - he took the fixture off and noticed the wires were taped up. He removed the tape and put wire nuts on the ends and my light worked! Woo hoo! The first outdoor light - He took the fixture off and noticed right away that the wiring was jacked up. He fiddled with the wiring and got it to work. The second outdoor light - The fixture was old and he said it had a halogen bulb that was energy inefficient. He had an extra outdoor light that was really basic and he installed that for me. It was only $5. So, to fix all 3 lights was exactly 1 hour which was $135 plus the outside light fixture, which was $5. Overall, I highly recommend Zed Electric. Very professional, efficient service. A+ read more

We bought a home built in the late 70's that had no ceiling lighting, didn't have a cable outlet on the wall where our TV needed to go, and needed some electrical work in the garage upgraded from a DIY solution to an up-to-code permanent solution. David from Zed came and took notes on my extensive wish-list of upgrades and fixes throughout the house. I had a detailed quote the next day that reflected the walk-through we did together. ZED sent out Niall to do the work for our house. Niall was friendly and already had a good understanding of the project when he arrived. Our project was a week's worth of work for Niall. He got our house wired up right while we were off at work. Felt totally comfortable leaving our home in his care while we were gone. I had a few last minute changes (adding a few dimmer switches, installing a fan on a really tall ceiling) and Niall rolled with it all. He was incredibly helpful and helped us to understand the ins and outs of how everything worked. I know we'll have more electric work to do in the years to come and I'm looking forward to using ZED again. Can't recommend them highly enough! read more

Efficient friendly and professional with great communication. They wore masks and were very courteous. Solved the problem and I think were in a reasonable price range. read more

I'm very grateful for the excellent work done on my two homes, one built in 1928, and the other in 1957, both requiring significant updating, restoration, remodeling, etc. I highly recommend Zed Electric. Have been using them for over a decade. George Shinn read more

Zed Electric has always been a great company to work with. This latest issue happened during the holidays and they had someone at my house within an hour and fixed the water heater problem the same day. I recommend this company without reservation. Every time they performed the work on time and within the quoted price. Plus, the electricians have been very courteous, respectful of my house and very friendly and efficient. read more

I highly recommend David and his team. They were highly responsive and professional. Their work was impeccable. David is extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. read more

I do not recommend this place at all. They installed some vents and didnt wire it correctly and when they came back out to fix their discrepancy they wanted to charge me again read more

Recently my very old cooktop died. Unfortunately for me it was wired 30 amp and all of the new electric ones are 50 amp. So the question I needed to answer was whether it was cheaper/better to convert to gas or upgrade to 50 amp. Everyone I talked to gave me a default answer of it is always cheaper to convert to gas. I didn't really believe them and they all refused to come and give me an actual quote. In my case the breaker box was near the kitchen and I was able to buy an electric cooktop much cheaper than a gas one. David came out. Told me I was lucky and it would not be much to run a 50 amp connection to the cooktop location. They were able to schedule me for a week later. Julian came out to do the actual work. He worked very fast and even patched the small holes he needed to make. Over all I'm very happy and I would hire Zed Electric again. read more

I called Zed Electric on a recommendation, and I'm glad I did. I have a rental property with a washer/dryer unit and the electrical outlet was no longer working and pulling out of the wall (tripped the circuit breaker). I called another recommended electrician and told it would be two weeks. Then I called Zed and they had a distant appointment as well, but offered an alternative whereby my tenant would let Zed know his work schedule and if time opened up, they'd call and come take a look. They came the following day ("Dave") and he replaced it for a total of $175 ($145 hourly rate, minimum 1 hour, and parts at cost). They don't charge for travel time either. Given the other positive reviews, I'd strongly consider having Zed do electrical upgrades in my own home. Very professional scheduler who took down all my info. Always great when I don't have to be present during repairs on a rental property. Big time saver. Great job everyone at Zed! read more

A light fixture in a bedroom stopped working. They came out and charged $180 to 'diagnose' the problem, which, with a voltage tester would have taken them less than 10 seconds. They wanted to charge an additional $200+ to install a light fixture - not even providing the fixture. Luckily, I found out about it before they came out to do it, and had my handy-around-the-house hubby do it. Put in a $30 light fixutre in under 5 minutes, and we were done - the only tool required was a screwdriver. The whole job, even if you charged a travel fee and an hour minimum should have been less than the $180 they charged for the 'diagnosis'. I tell everyone I know to avoid them! read more

Zed Electric has provided prompt & courteous service over 4 times I have used them. Thanks, read more

Yesterday I called Zed early with an electrical issue in my home, which worried me. (I had not used them previously.) Zed Electric sent an electrician over to my home an hour later. Chris arrived and did a terrific job. He was competent, well-trained, and very nice. He identified and fixed the problem much faster than I'd expected. I would like to recommend Zed wholeheartedly. read more

Good electrical work, bad pricing compared to alternatives. I used them previously a couple years ago for a new outlet on one side of vanity as well as a small wiring job. The electrician they sent was professional and competent. He had to wire through the attic but did so with minimal dry wall damage which was appreciated. At the time, it was about $300 to get the outlet installed (I do think I charged an extra half hour or so because of a "break" the electrician took.) Regardless, I was happy with the service so when we needed similar work done in our new home along with a couple dimmer switches installed, we decided to contact them again. What a huge waste of time. First, we had to make an appt to have someone come give an estimate and then wait several days for an estimate to come back. When we got the estimate back, it was almost $700!! This seemed pretty unreasonable for a new outlet (regardless of how complicated the wiring be) and a couple dimmer switches so I contacted several other places for estimates. I was provided estimates/responses immediately and HALF the price. And all had availability within the week for the job - no coming for an estimate and then sending estimate later, all to have to reschedule an appt for them to come back to do the actual. Sorry, but nobody has time for that - if you have a real job. But maybe the people that can actually afford the work at ZED don't have to work... Anyway, in short, believe their electrical work is solid but could definitely improve customer service, availability and pricing. read more

I have used Zed Electric for several projects around my house. I find them reliable and trustworthy. Their technicians are always informative, honest and courteous. I never feel taken advantage of, but rather, supported. I have recommended them to my friends. I would not hesitate to call them for any other projects that may come up in the future. read more

Fives Stars, tech was great, Thanks again

I scheduled an appointment to have some minor service work done at my house 1 week in advance , which is when Dave said he had a time slot available . I left work early to meet the electrician at my house but no one showed up so I called Dave and left a message . He did call me back only to say that his electrician couldn't make it and that I would need to re-schedule . I told him thanks but no thanks . Unreliable read more

david reached out to me in regards to the awkward situation of my service as well as the cost aspect of my review. he was kind and fair and we came to a resolution. he also informed me that the employee who made me feel uneasy was let go and he apologized for the whole situation. as i mentioned in my previous review, everything still works 5 months later which is all i could ask for. after speaking with david and hearing his empathy on the situation i hope and plan to do business with Zed Electric in the future! read more

Dependable with a well deserved reputation around town! I will use Zed Electric again!

Big company, quick service, excellent work. Electrical repairs done by Carlos was A+ . read more

I've used Zed Electric numerous times and have always been impressed. Years ago, I needed power ran to a new hot tub. I researched a bunch of companies and selected Zed Electric. The technicians were on-time, courteous, and did great work. About a month ago, we purchased a new home and needed a variety of electrical work done that was noted in our home inspection. I reached out to Zed Electric once again. I spoke with Dave, the owner, and explained what work was needed. He asked for a copy of the inspection report so they would know exactly what they were looking at when they came to do their estimate. Matt arrived on time to perform a more comprehensive inspection. He noted a few additional items, which the general inspection hadn't caught. About a week later, I was able to get an appointment set and the work completed. In the midst of all of this, I was having some repair work done to my existing home to get it ready to sell. One of the contractors tripped a couple of circuits and they wouldn't reset. As luck would have it, one of them was the circuit my internet connected to, and since I'm currently working from home, I needed it fixed ASAP. I called Zed Electric and explained the situation. Dave was able to dispatch a technician immediately and within the hour I was back up and working. I realize many reviews are written based solely on a single experience, either good or bad. But, I have now had four great experiences with Zed Electric. So look no further, Zed Electric will not let you down. read more

Zed electric is amazing!! we had a huge job that was needed on our 1963 house. rewiring the entire house, panel upgrade, exterior lights installed. new switches through out our home. Not only are the team at Zed professional, they are timely, friendly and fulfilled everything they had promised and beyond. Even after the job was done I had called them on many occasions with questions. They AWAYS took my calls and answered all my questions. They are reasonably priced and just sooooo good!! If you need an electrician, look no further. Give them a call, you WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! read more

This is not your standard electrical problem. In early June we had a sub panel lose all power. There were no blown breakers there or on the master house panel. The home was built in 1955 and is about 65 years old. The house wiring is complex, with inaccessible junction boxes. We had one electrical contractor try to locate a wire break, but they couldn't find it. They "tapped out" and referred us to ZED Electric. They recommended ZED as they felt there would need to be a bypass circuit created and this was beyond them. I called ZED at about 8 AM in early August and by late morning Andy showed up. He was familiar with the first contractor so did not duplicate their effort. He isolated where the opportunity was for an effective bypass from another nearby panel. He found an unused breaker of sufficient current to support the original panel. He routed new wires, got Richard his co-worker to repair two access holes for wire routing, and wrapped it all up by 4PM. It worked perfectly! The price charged was very fair for the results. ZED electric and Andy have all my future business. read more

My previous review needs to be edited since David came out to my house to check out the location of the panel. He was very friendly and will be moving the panel to where we wanted it initially. I will be using them again for our next electrical project. read more

Left a message on the owners phone Sunday of Labor Day weekend, with little hope of a call back. Maybe five minutes later the owner called me personally. The issue was basic, but my electrical knowledge was even more basic. He walked me through the solution on the phone and charged me nothing. He probably knew from my message he wasn't going to get paid, but called anyway and kinda saved my weekend. What a guy! My first and only stop for electrical work from now on! read more

I'm 93 and don't drive. My favorite floor lamp broke and at the recommendation of my neighbor, I called Zed. Andy, a pleasant, well groomed young man arrived on time, fixed my lamp fast, and was gone within minutes. I highly recommend Zed. G.R. read more

This review is long overdue - sorry Zed Electric. We were having issues with a "ghost" in the house. The downstairs lights would blink on and off. We called Zed and they fit us in very quickly. When the electrician arrived, he changed out the circuit breaker for the circuit with the blinking lights. We turned on all lights and they didn't appear to be flashing. Woohoo! However, a couple of days after he left, they started blinking again. We called Zed back and they sent another electrician out. He removed some more parts from the circuit board (I apologize if I am not discovering everything correctly). It turns out the bus board had some corrosion on it at that spot. The electrician was able to move that circuit to a new spot and we haven't had a problem since. Since they guarantee their work, they didn't charge us for the second visit. Zed Electric had previously done other work around our house and I have always been impressed with the quality and professionalism. read more

Amazing Amazing Amazing! Lady in the office is very nice, efficient, easy to set an appointment. Eric-he was a technician was also very polite, nice, and provided me great service. I will recommend this company for anyone who needs an electric repair,renovation. Hard to find great company like them!! read more

Zed Electric has done several jobs at our home over the last few years, from replacing all the kitchen under counter lights to installing new wall sconces to new fuses for a kitchen upgrade and landscape lighting repair. At all times, the work was performed expertly, professionally and promptly. As I have a job, I especially appreciate the fact that Zed actually shows up when promised. I heartily recommend their work and will be using them any time I need electric work performed. read more

Zed Electric was great! Dave answered immediately and walked me through every part of our home inspection on the phone, prior to the visit. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in explaining the fixes and scheduled a time to come out for a free estimate. Matt was early, very thorough and also took the time to walk me through the house and point out each part of the home inspection. Would highly recommend! read more

David Zedaker fixed my electrical problem in one short hour. He didn't charge me a fee to assess the problem, nor did he charge me for his time to drive to Home Depot for a part. David was honest, very nice to talk to and a complete professional. If you call this guy, you can't go wrong. I highly recommend Zed Electric for any electrical problem or project. read more

Thank you Zed Electric for your excellent service! I had a short in the wire servicing the dishwasher and disposal just before a house full of guests were arriving for Thanksgiving. They put me on the "call board" and an electrician was able to come the next day to fix the problem. They also alerted me to a code violation that they later corrected. Zed Electric is very thorough and cares about their customers. We won't use anyone else. read more

Doing business with Zed Electric was a real pleasure. It was easy to schedule an appointment for the installation of LED flood lights in the backyard of my Mission Hills home. I will certainly be doing business with Zed Electric again as we progress into additional phases of the home remodel. Julian, the electrician from Zed Electric, arrived on time, was friendly, professional, remarkably hardworking, fast and efficient. Julian was clearly dedicated to meeting my project expectations - actually, he exceeded them. Julian left the work areas cleaner than when he arrived and the lights look great. The cost, very fair and competitive. Thanks Julian and Zed Electric. read more

Another great job by Zed! I had a microwave/range hood installed at the new house. They guys were on time, professional and within the quote David gave me. They cleaned up and helped me haul away the old exhaust hood. I will continue to use Zed and if you live in the Pt Loma/OB area or anywhere in SD you should too! read more

Dave and Julian completed some work on my condo last month (apparently I started my review and forgot to publish) and I couldn't be happier with the work they did. They can right in the middle of their arrival window, gave me a quick estimate, and got right to work. I wanted to have a chandelier removed and a new one installed in a slightly different location. They were able to do so without any extra holes (the hole you see in the photo is from the previous chandelier) and we're all clean up and gone with 90 minutes of arrival. The guys were friendly, personable, and knowledgeable (I asked questions about future projects because I fully plan to use Zed for all my little electrical projects. To top it all off, they completed the work under budget! Their over-the-phone bid was already lower than everyone else, so to come in even under that was a fantastic surprise. Great company at a probably the best rates in town! I also asked them for a quick estimate on some additional projects I'd like to get done, and not only did they give me a ballpark figure while they were here, but also sent me a written estimate in the mail after the fact. It's so nice having it all written out so as I get the funds set aside, I can move along with all my little projects. read more

This is a real review written by a real customer. I am a small business owner starting to do business in San Diego. Zed Electric was referred to me by a property owner/client, and their performance has exceeded every expectation. David Zedaker and his staff exemplify the highest ideal in competent work, fair dealings, and customer service I have likely ever experienced in my business life. My projects are small and inconsequential likely in the overall scope of their business. Yet they treat my work as their highest priority and have further graciously accomodated a number of changes in the schedule as factors outside my control impacted the plan. Bottom line, you could not find a better qualified or more conscientious general contractor and electrician, what a stroke of luck it was for me to find these guys in the first place. P.
