Are you kidding me? I haven't reviewed Zed Electric? Shame on me. I started working for my company as the Office Manager some 9 years ago. This means that I became responsible for all of the vendors that it takes to run a building. This included janitorial, landscaping, filtered water, office supplies, plumbing, maintenance, etc. I also became responsible for making sure the building was compliant and safe. Well, I fired and replaced all of them because they were too costly or just didn't adequately do the work.
Except Zed Electric. The company had already been working with Zed when I got here and I have found no reason to replace them. They respond quickly to my requests for quotes and even though my internal policy requires me to get two other quotes from two other companies, Zed always get the job. When compare the price, which is not only competitive but reasonable, to the quality of the work on the many projects I have had them do over the years. shhhhhh. I've gotten lower bids but I always choose Zed because I know it will only have to be done once.
I chose the lowest bid once and, well, Zed had to fix it. Meaning I had to pay twice. I don't even have to ask if the job they are doing is up to code. As a matter of fact, I choose Zed because I want to make sure that it is. I just don't need the headache. Outside of the quality and safety compliance of their work, the fact that no job is too big or too small for them is priceless.
I have had them to replace all of my high ceiling lighting with more economical options to putting in a dimmer switch to installing a smoke detector for my elevator. They do all jobs with the same level of professionalism. This includes looking the part. All of the electricians I have had in my buildings, yes, I have moved locations and still use Zed in my second location, have always looked professional. Not suit and tie professional, but their shirts are always clean and tucked when the get here. Not always after they leave though. Lol.

Great work done by a very well trained electrician. Work was started and completed on time and on budget. Very happy with this company. 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.

Zed was referred to me by a good friend. I worked with Matt and David and had a great experience. Very detailed, very professional and personable. David went above and beyond to make sure the new recessed lighting matches the ones I currently have at the house. Customer service at the office was a pleasure to work with as well. Highly recommend them. Thank you for your help.

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!

The ZED Electric Team is outstanding. Nicest electricians out there. Even the head honcho himself has come out to my father's house to help with the old wiring there. Very neat, professional, and friendly crew. Love these guys. Services: Electrical outlet & switch relocation, Installation, General repairs, Electrical power restoration

ZED Electric was highly recommended to us by other industry professionals and they did not disappoint. The quality of their work and level of service was truly professional. We had several electrical updates to conduct in our home, including installation and wiring for an EV charger. They conducted a thorough assessment and gave us a very reasonable estimate for the work.
When the technicians arrived (Travis and Sean), it was clear they were subject matter experts, well trained, polite and highly professional. They completed the work on time and within the estimate we had been given (i.e. there were no surprises). The quality of the work, attention to detail, and the fact that they guarantee their work has earned our trust and our business, and we would highly recommend them to anyone who needs quality electrical services.

Once again, Zed came to the rescue and repaired an in ceiling light fixture. Travis was professional, friendly and efficient.

They left my job broken and unfinished. after I paid off all of the bills that were about 4 times what they should have been, they continued to demand payment for bills I already paid. they only want to overbill for easy work and abandon you after you overpay and the problems aren't fixed. this is how they left me. after ripping me off for about 3 grand.

ZED electric did an amazing job for my daughter and fulfilled all of her needs to make everything work without any problems. David took care of her concerns and answered all of questions and then some. I would highly recommend this company to anyone that needs an electrical job done no matter how small or large. They are an outstanding company that are willing to work with you. Tom T

Wizlet for Zed Electric came over and did a phenomenal job! He was early and walked me through the work. He was very professional and had great customer service skills. He did a very thorough job and did quality work. I highly recommend calling zed electric for your electrical needs. I will be calling them next time I have an electrical need.

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!

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.

I searched for a while to find a trustworthy electrician to perform the work I needed done. When I requested a quote they asked for a copy of the inspection report that I had done for my new place and I sent it over. They sent me a quote that was much lower than what I had been quoted elsewhere. I asked if they needed to see the space in person to give a firm estimate they said no.
I didn't want to get the work done right away so about 6 months later I emailed back to have them come out and they called me within minutes of sending the email. They scheduled me in right away and Carlos did an amazing job. He was very kind and knowledgeable. It ended up being a bigger job than anticipated but the quote never changed. I would highly recommend them. THANK YOU!

4.900 stars. Another great find from Yelp. We hired Zed to fix multiple electrical issues in our new house and to install outlets and some outdoor lighting (light strip over our garage) and two gate lights. We scheduled for an estimate where Matt came over for a pandemic safe in-house estimate. Matt said he had been an electrician for over 20-30 years and now only does estimates, but his previous experience really informed him on the scope and cost of work.
We had things we had to fix and then a few wish list items, and Zed kindly broke down line by line how much each thing would cost. We did most of the items on the list, and did some of it ourselves. Chris came over and installed everything to perfection over about 3 days (this was a bigger job). We are so happy with the quality of service we received here and will call them up should any electrical issues arise.

Chris from Zed Electric did an amazing job today! He diagnosed and fixed a potentially serious electrical issue and got my lights back up and running. He has serious attention to detail. He also went above and beyond to make sure all the light bulbs were installed and working before leaving. Much appreciated!

I have used Zed several times now. I appreciate that they are in my neighborhood, I like to give my business to local folks. They are professional and courteous and always get the job done without a glitch. I also appreciate that they send me a bill, very trusting and neighborly. They are my "go to" electricians.

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.

We had a switch that had stopped working, and we noticed melted plastic inside, so we were kind of freaked out about potential fire hazard. We called Zed Electric for a second opinion. The first (not Zed) electrician said we needed to rewire the whole front of our house, at a cost of $4000. The electrician from Zed said we needed a new switch, and the reason for the problem was simply that the switch had been installed backwards. Cost? $180. Thank you, Zed Electric, for being honest, and saving us $3820.

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.

David came right out with an estimate. Work was done on date we requested. Polite, careful and competent workmen. Our job required some extensive "surgery" into the plaster in several areas of our 1931 house. They did some patching, and when they were finished, there was very little prep for us to do before we repaint. They cleaned up a wild unsightly jumble of outdated wires near our breaker, which is now all neat and tidy.

I first found Zed Electric when they did an install of a exhaust/heater in my 92 year old bath ceiling. They vented it out the roof and were very skilled in the install. I have continued to call them when ever I need electrical needs. They are so professional and reliable. I really am glad I found ZED electric.

Zed is amazing! The HVAC company I work for uses them for all our electrical needs. They're always responsive when issues arise or needing help with any sorts of questions. They're work is awesome and we have had no complaints when our customers use them for any service. All of their employees are super friendly and are always making sure you are left satisfied! I would highly recommend them! David, thank you for always being so easy to work with!

We have a house built in the 40's with antiquated electrical. We've needed to have an electrician out 3 times in the past 6 months. We've had three different electricians from Zed come out each time. Each one has been extremely professional and efficient. They were able to resolve the issues correctly and relatively quickly. They have been on time and diagnosed the issue correctly.
In every instance I felt we were receiving service that was very fair as far as cost. I really appreciate their service and will continue to use them in the Future without hesitation.
