My wife and I recently purchased a home built in the 1920's. The home included lots of original details, including the knob and tube wiring. We received multiple estimates and the pricing from Zed fell right in the middle of the mix, but the scope of work seemed to be very detailed and complete. We enjoyed meeting with David and appreciated him taking the time to walk through all that needed to happen to completely rewire our home. Niall handled the majority of the work and did an amazing job. His attention to detail was second to none. Not only did he do a great job with the rewire, we also had him install some under-cabinet LED lighting in the kitchen and run media cables and power above our fireplace so we could hang our TV from the wall. Niall was very meticulous with this work and left the house super clean each day, even after the drywall cutting and patching. Great work and highly recommended! read more

I received an early morning call from my tenant that the lights on one side of the house were flickering and the electric panel had a crackling noise coming from it. I immediately thought of a possible fire, so went to the Next Door app to see any neighborhood recommendations for electricians. One was from a real estate professional who offered a positive review for Zed Electric. When I called, a very helpful and friendly receptionist understood my concern, and although they were booked out for the week, assured me she would add us to a call out list for that day. I was very pleased to receive a call about three hours later that an electrician could be at the house in 45 minutes which allowed me plenty of time to get to the house. The electrician promptly arrived and found the melted breaker and another damaged by the heat. He also put up a new motion detector light as ours had fried in the recent rainstorm, and also offered advice that the type of light bulb we had in the dining room lamp was incorrect with a dimmer switch. I found the cost of the repair very reasonable and the company's response to my problem was very professional. I like to have good services available so my tenants are not inconvenienced by repairs, so I am very pleased to have found a company that I would be happy to call again for my own home and the rental properties. read more

We have always been impressed with the excellent work that Zed Electric has performed on our home in Bay Ho and condominium in Point Loma. We moved to our home in October 2016 and John did an amazing job of completing all our electrical up-dates and needs. In August of this year the electrician who put our 220 line in was awesome. We just can't remember his name. He had the difficult task of going into our attic. Our 1950's home has a very tight crawl space. When it was completed it looked perfect. This September, Mark was here to set-up the 220 line to our swim/spa. He did a great job. He as well as the others were total professionals and they all demonstrated expertise in their field. Special thanks for Dave Zedaker for coming out to check on the workmanship. That type of management and leadership is not always seen in large corporations. This showed us that you care about the workmanship as well as taking care of your staff read more

I had them out to troubleshoot our fire alarm system today. I have used them many times for a wide variety of jobs and they are incredibly professional and I never think about calling anybody else. read more

First time customer and could not be more pleased! I have a complicated, work and knowledge intense project going. Nile has been the electrician in charge. He is a marvel. Worked very very hard, did not finish each day until he and I were satisfied with the days work. Couterous, professional and local! There were two other electricians at my home today with Nile. They also were very good. I do have to say, Niles work ethic and knowledge is exceptional. I will recommend this company, and will use them again! read more

We have had good results with Zed Electric. They are professional and seem to know what they are doing. I would recommend them.

Good job and good response time but a little pricy. Most awesome is they converted a 220v lamp to a 110v for use in the USA. This is super beneficial when I shop lamps in Europe :-) read more

I called about 6 days ago. They promised that they would be there in the afternoon on the same DAY since it was building lights and a hazard to my tenants in the evening. Well, they didn't make it that day. I called again the next day, they said that they would stop by in the afternoon the same DAY. Well, you get the picture, day after day the same thing until I called yesterday. The lady specified that the owner, david, would call me and explain things. Well, he hasn't called me yet. There's bad service and then there's NO service. I feel like I'm the ex-GF that no one wants to see ... Good luck Zed Electric, you're not getting any more calls from me ... read more

Since my problem was not an emergency my appointment was scheduled two weeks out; however, as soon as they had an opening they fit me in sooner. Eric of Zed Electric came promptly and worked diligently all day on several electrical issues. He fixed them all, cleaned up, and was very courteous and professional. I would highly recommend Zed Electric. read more

They are awesome! They fixed my heat-lamps for a fantastic price- the customer service and promptness was top notch. They were honest and forthcoming about the repairs and pricing. I would recommend them to anyone! read more

Found an electrician I trust and will be comfortable referring to my Clients, ZED Electric. Niall was a true professional. Easy to see by how he conducted repairs and even the care he took cutting drywall. Respectful of my home an obvious contrast with other contractors working on our kitchen. Give them a try, I think you will be very pleased. read more

Kevin and Julian did a great job. Top!

We bought a house that needed quite a bit of electrical work done on it, placing ceiling lights, running cables for comms, replacing all outlets, and putting in a new panel. Dave and his guys did an awesome job. Dave Zedaker was always responsive, easy to work with, and willing to take the time to listen and explain everything. His on site guy whose name was also Dave, did an excellent job and was also very easy to work with. I had them compete the job, and there were no surprises when the bill came due. Both Daves were always on time for the appointments, and they even closed out the work a couple of days early. I am very happy with their work, and will definitely use them again. Give them a call! read more

I had Zed Electric add a new outlet to my office. They were on time, professional and completed the job as quoted. I will definitely use them for my future electrical needs. read more

I am a newbie trying to build a house. I had a minor item that I needed help with and Zed Electric was happy to help - even though it wasn't a very profitable job for them. Before calling Zed, I had tried 4-5 companies who all said they didn't want the work because it wasn't really worth the time. Now (a couple of months later) I am looking at a large electrical project and you can be sure that Zed is the first place I go. They have earned my loyalty and respect. read more

Called this am to see if I could get a new thermostat. Gal on the phone was NO help and had NO idea what she was takling about. I told her I have a floor heater and it is working fine, I just need a new thermostat. She said is it gas or electric? I told her it is a gas heater, she said we don't deal with gas and maybe I should call the person who put the thermostat in before. Well, I said the house was built in 1952, who do you suppose I should call. Thanks Mark Maynard for the referrel, but no thanks this is not a company I will work with nor refer. I too own a company and having someone who answeres the phone should either know what they are talking about or get somone who does. First bad review I have written in 5 years. Only 0ne star,at least she was polite. read more

Just had a great experience with Zed Electric. Excellent customer service from start to finish.

We needed to have all of the outlets grounded in our old vintage Craftsman house before we moved in with our modern electronics. They gave us an estimate that beat other electricians we had contacted, but we were wondering if the quality of the work would suffer. Well, it didn't. The technicians they sent over were professional, knowledgeable and efficiently updated every socket, replacing wiring when needed. There was no mess left behind, either, which was a problem with another company who worked on our previous home. We will definitely call them again! read more

Over the course of a number of years, I have hired ZED Electric for larger scale and smaller scale work in my home. I have met not only the electricians who are in the field, but also the office staff. In my view, each employee at ZED ( and I'm particularly focusing on the electricians) has a professional attitude, interacts with a sense of professional conduct, and good judgment, and is courteous, reliable, trustworthy, responsible, timely, skillful, competent, and diligent. The billing has been consistent and has not exceeded initial quotes. I appreciate the quality of the work, and the respectful and friendly manner of the various electricians and support staff.

27 December 2016. It's 5:31 p.m. At 3:40 p.m. half of the electric lights and plugs failed. I went out to the breaker box, and couldn't see anything amiss. My 92 year old mother in law uses an oxygen concentrator. She needs that to breath. My computer was running on batteries and I called five different electricians. All were closed for the holiday. I saw Zed Electric and called them. I explained what happened. The woman who answered the phone said they will have somebody out as soon as possible. She called me back in 20 minutes and told me an electrician would be arriving within the hour. She was understanding and sympathetic. At 5:05 Eric arrived. It took him 20 minutes to solve the issue. He showed me what had happened, ad he recommended an extra breaker to deal with the under capacity problem. Now here's the best part: I had a new remote control overhead fan that stopped working. I tried of and on for months to get it to work. I asked him if he could hard wire the fan in since the remote control receiver stopped working. He took the remote control unit and looked at it. The he pushed the on button. And the fan and light came on. I can't describe how surprised and taken aback I was. All I can say is Eric performed a miracle. Thank you Zed Electric and Eric. You went way over what was expected. Jim Holland read more

We've used Zed Electric since 2007 when we needed some small electrical work done on our condo. In 2016 we purchased an older home and Zed has been our go-to electrician for all of our electrical needs. Dave and his team are honest, reliable, and always make sure the electric is up to code. The work completed includes: grounding all of the outlets in the house, removing and adding light fixtures and outlets, updating both the sub and main electrical panels, installing bathroom and ceiling fans, installing a whole house fan, and upgrading our home from 100 to 200 amps. Every electrician we've worked with from Zed has shown up on schedule and been pleasant to work with. It is hard to find reliable professionals so having an electrical company that we can trust makes all the difference. read more

We had a complicated job, trying to update the electric in a house from the 50's. David, the owner, came to the house and walked through with us, making suggestions, recommendations, and pointing out absolute "need to" items. He worked with our time and budget constraints. The electrician who did the work was efficient, responsible (he came when he said he would, and kept us informed about what would be accomplished each day), neat, and precise. We would definitely use this company again. All of our expectations were met or exceeded (and I know this has become a cliche, but in this case it is really true). read more

We recently referred Zed Electric to a buyer of a large home for a purchase inspection. ZED used the general inspection report and then was able to elaborate on the repairs and recommendations to cure as well as provide a bid that the buyer was able to use in a Request for Repairs negotiation. The seller side was able to provide a lower priced bid for the same line items and Zed was able to match it. There is a charge for an inspection which includes time to review the general inspection report, visit the property, and provide a bid. read more

The GFCI outlet in the kitchen wasn't responding correctly and being nervous I called the electrician in town. He tried to trouble shoot my problem over the phone, but thankfully I insisted he come out. He explained that many times people don't understand the purpose of the GFCI and the service call is wasted, but not in my case. After poking around in a few areas, he located and corrected my issue. I would not hesitate to call this company again. read more

We are apartment mgrs of a small complex in O.B. , We were turning over an apt. when we realized half of the outlets and switches were dead...We called Zed and Julian came out.. Very professional but down to earth...We felt comfortable with him from the start..He gave us an estimate and how long and He was true to his word...In fact the price was a less than the estimate...Its an old building and He had no problem with getting it done....We highly recommend Zed and they know they have our buis. from now on.... Sammy and Robin read more

We first worked with Zed Electric in 2008 when they rewired our entire 85 yr old house. Original knob & tube, lath & plaster. Not an easy job, especially when the crawlspace flooded during a freak rainstorm. David Zedaker was easy to work with, walked me through the entire process, and provided a competitive estimate. The project was on time and new electrical box (we upgraded service of course) a marvel. His crew was pleasant, always on time, and worked clean. We had David return last month to do some electrical work for our kitchen remodel. Another great experience! read more

We have been using the services of Zed Electric for many years and have been 100% satisfied with the quality of their work. They have just completed an extensive project at our family home - we would not think of using another company and would recommend them to anyone looking for a company with high integrity, professionalism, and quality work. Thank you Zed Electric! read more

An electrician from Zed cam to our home this morning on short notice to do some work that was beyond what our handyman could handle. The office employee was very helpful about squeezing us in, and let us know when the electrician was on the way. The electrician was top notch and did an excellent job for us. We've used Zed many times over the years--- we've had great service and fair prices in every case. read more

I am always feeling a little selfish when I write a review for such a good business like this. Often times positive reviews lead to increased popularity which leads to growth which then leads to higher prices when you call them back again for another job.. Hopefully that's not the case here. :). Actually they've been in business a long time, so I'm pretty sure they have these things worked out. Anyhow, I had a difficult time getting any companies to even come out and give me a bid. Put in requests for bids on 2 major sites including that one that starts with an A. They didn't even call me back or email me. My realtor recommended Zed, and I called and they were onsite the next day writing up a bid to wire my hot tub and install a GFI panel next to the tub. It took them a couple days to get the bid to me, which I found a bit odd, but it was worth the wait as they came in at a very fair price. They were super busy, so it did take them another week to get out here. Then, just my luck it starts to rain as the guy is starting the job... So he had to come back the next day to finish... But he showed up.. on time the next day and got the job done and made me a very happy camper, hot tub hooked up just in time for Christmas! The job done was professional and clean and I am super satisfied, will use them again for sure. read more

I was referred to Zed by a friend who has remodeled many houses, and as a realtor has helped lots of people like me find the best contractors. So I was confident going in to the relationship with Zed. And still they surpassed my expectations. Friendly, smart, thorough. Communicated clearly with no surprises. The work: installing ceiling fans throughout the house and upgrading the main exterior electrical box and some other outdated things like all the wall outlets. More than a week of work in the house, with two people working from home and a dog who is way suspicious of strangers with big equipment and loud tools. And Niall, the main guy, and others who came and went to help with different pieces, were totally cool and made it all seem easy. Zed has our total trust and loyalty. read more

Thank you Zed Electric and especially David. Fast, professional...you're the best!

My highest unqualified rating for Zed electric. They expertly completed a total electrical upgrade to a historically designated house. Every aspect of their service was exceptional. Honest, highly professional, clearly expert service from start to finish. I always felt confident with all of their staff, I trusted them. My job involved some unexpected complications in a nearly century-old house, yet David the owner never attempted to take advantage of the situation in his contract price or the quality of service. They have my complete confidence. read more

Zed and Julian came through for me on a last minute job in a condo that had extremely complicated logistics and was also quite labor intensive. I called a number of other handymen and electricians before a colleague recommended Zed. They were the quickest to both respond and actually get out to the condo in order to accurately asses the situation and figure out the right way to get the job done in the time frame I needed. Their quote was accurate and they were clear about cost. Their service was all around excellent and I would work with them again or recommend them for any job. read more

I've been using Zed for three years. They have done projects, both big and small, at my condo with great service and efficiency. Their last project for me was a huge one, a complete re-wire of my condo from a botched job done by someone else. It could have been a nightmare but Dave, the electrician made the job technically spot-on and done as quickly as possible while paying GREAT attention to detail. Thanks, Dave and David, the owner for a job well done. read more

We've used Zed Electric for several projects. We've also used another licensed electrician on a few occasions. The difference in workmanship and professionalism was an eye-opener for us. The city inspector found several issues with the work of the non-Zed contractor whereas all Zed Electric work passed with flying colors! We learned our lesson and are now grateful Zed Electric clients. read more

Had a small job w/ two new plug boxes. Office staff was professional and courteous. Their electrician arrived on time, courteous and did a great job. Will call again in the future. read more

Anyone who has shopped around for service in the "trades" (electricians, plumbers, handymen, etc.) and has lived with the results of their choices. Over my 65 years on this earth, I have learned that the person at the top is the one who leads his or her staff by example. Dave Zedaker (Zed) is my top pick for electricians. Honest, direct, caring (yeah that matters), and reasonable for the excellent work performed are his attributes...and thus...the reason Zed Electric sits atop the Yelp reviews. Just give him a call and blame me for recommending his services. read more

Very efficient, honest, and reasonable prices. Good communication. Did the job right for my renters while keeping costs workable for me as the owner. read more

As part of a Buyer's inspection associated with the sale of our downtown condo, we needed some electrical outlets repaired and brought up to code. We needed the work done by a licensed electrician and done quickly to support our closing date. Zed was booked solid for the next 10 days, but promised to let us know if something opened up sooner. Based on previous experience with other service providers, we thought we would have to wait the entire 10 days. But, the day after setting our appointment for 10 days out, we received a call from Zed saying they could fit us in that afternoon. The electrician showed up on schedule, did the work very effectively and quickly. He was very polite and knowledgeable, had all the tools and materials that he required, and minimized the amount of billed hous. We were extremely happy with the service and highly recommend ZED. read more

Using Zed for over five years now. They give free estimate and always have stuck to it. Never charge a penny over the amount they state. Everything they have done (install sconces / remove sconces / install chandeliers / hook up oven and rewire to upgrade voltage for new appliances) has been impeccable. LOVE these guys. They made my home safer by upgrading faulty work performed by others and I no longer shop around for an electrician its an automatic 1 800 ZED whenever wiring is involved. Thanks guys. . read more
