Needed a few things done in the house and found Zed online. Called and scheduled an estimator to come out. The initial interaction and estimation was good. Until it came time for the quote. It turns out their hourly labor rate is $240!!! When I asked with disbelief if I heard that correctly, he said that's correct, and that's what other reputable companies charge. This is simply not true. I called another reputable company that's fully licensed and does residential and commercial electrical work that a neighbor recommended and they charge $125. Not only that, the estimated hours from Zed were very inflated, so in the end Zed's quote was FOUR times higher than what the other company charged me. For what they charge, I would hope their work is flawless, but don't believe that their costs are reasonable - they're absolutely not.

Our Company has used Zed Electric when we moved our equipment to a yard with no electricity (two different times). They got us hooked up and running on-time, on budget and no problems. I was impressed and I used them in my home to install new light fixtures. I would use them again.Services: Installation

Two times our Company has used Zed Electric when we moved our equipment into yard space with no electrical service. They gave us a fair quote and performed their services on-time and on budget. I was happy with their service and used them at my home to install new light fixtures indoors and outdoors.

Zed Electric was professional, knowledgeable, prompt, organized and fairly priced. We wanted a 30 amp line brought through our attic for an induction cooktop. Zed was one of six companies giving us quotes. The range of prices and professionalism was astounding. Zed was a clear stand out from the rest. Their estimator and electricians anticipated issues we hadn't considered and others hadn't noticed, for example getting a 40 amp line wasn'tmuch more and allowed any cooktop to be used in the future. Before the electricians started the work, they reviewed the full plan and asked questions to be sure we were in agreement on the scope - very professional. They were on time to appointments and kept the work site clean when they left. The whole experience reassured us we made the right choice picking them.

Zed Electric is a highly reliable resource in San Diego. We recommend them to the Landlords and Home Sellers we service. Their prices tend to be a bit higher. We are fine with that. You get what you pay for. We also use Zed to repair/upgrade our personal residences and investment properties. Personally, an electrician installed our outdoor TV. My kids use it frequently and I'm delighted to have them outside playing in the sunshine instead of sitting inside watching TV. Cheers, Colleen www.mySanDiegoAgent.com

Zed was referred to me by my Realtor and I could not have been happier. The professionalism and level of customer service could not have been better. David was proactive and very responsive with a great attention to detail. Very happy with his work and would definitely contact him in the future. Highly recommend!!

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.

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.
