Edam's Electric

We needed a new electrical box with a GFCI outlet installed in the garage. Not the biggest job perhaps but we still needed to get it done. The team at Edam's Electrical was able to give a quote over email after I sent photos of the existing setup and explained exactly what we needed. They replied promptly, gave a very reasonably-priced quote with details about they would do, and were able to come out relatively soon.

This was a welcome difference compared to my experience with many other companies I contacted on Yelp--some of whom never bothered to reply, others who didn't seem to read the quote, one who simply quoted an hourly rate (and wanted to send *two* people out at one time for a one-person job), and some who were booked at least a month out.

The Edam's Electric electrician arrived on time, wore a mask the entire time, confirmed what he would be doing, and took time to answer a few questions I had about the job and the related wiring. Once done, he showed me everything he'd done, tested it with me, and cleaned up everything he'd worked on. All of that gave me even more confidence in the quality of their work and their abilities.

We'll definitely use them again when we need more electrical work.

Ash and his team did a great job upgrading my electric panel and wiring up my EV charger. He was very collaborative in the design decisions, and knowledgeable with electric codes. Communication was top notch, and estimates were competitive. I highly recommend Edams Electric for your electrical needs.

Ash and his team did a fabulous job on my house. They installed recessed lighting with dimmer switches, a few light fixtures, outdoor lighting, and outdoor bistro lights. Ash was very professional and prompt in communication, and the team finished the entire job in just a day! Ash was also very helpful collaborating with us on what lighting would work best. I appreciated his expert opinion. I highly recommend this business!

I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with Edam's Electric!

Ash and his talented assistant installed recess lights in our formal living room and spotlights for an art wall.
Outstanding service from A-Z. Ash came over super quickly, provided a fair estimate and scheduled a date for the installation. He was sharp on time and completed the work quietly, quickly and professionally. The house was left super clean and we were very pleased!  
Ash certainly understands the value of quilty work and good customer service. We have a few additional electrical projects in the house and Ash is certainly our first choice.

This review is for work done in January 2016, but finally getting around to writing reviews.

Ash and his coworker came over to do multiple projects that spanned the entire day. We had an initial conversation over the phone and he gave some rough estimates and they knocked out what could be done in one day.

This included: installing a new electrical dryer hookup from the circuit box, installing a new bathroom vent, upgrading the bathroom from knob & tube, and adding an outdoors electrical box. He stayed within his estimated prices and did a very thorough job.

I look forward to working with him and his coworker on upgrading the rest of the K&T outlets that we have in the house.

I contacted Ash to inquire whether he could install a chandelier. He turned down the job because he's fully booked for 2-3 months.

I find it hard to believe someone with such a positive rating on Yelp can only accept jobs 2-3 months in advance, especially when the majority of his reviews come from Yelpers with emergency situations.

Do not contact Ash unless you can wait 2-3 months to get assistance.

Found Ash on yelp and so glad I did.  All these good reviews were absolutely correct.  You can't go wrong with Ash.  He is honest, nice, excellent electrician. I have used yelp to find a good fit for me. I haven't been disappointed yet. He rewired my entire old apt.  Big job and he did it with no problems. Thanks Ash~

These guys are the BEST. I had no power in half my condo for two days. I called them. They were here within an hour. And in no time I have all my power back. And I can't thank them enough!!!  They are professional and very nice and understanding.
Thanks again guys. I will tell everyone to call you for electrition needs.

We blew a fuse on our fuse box and Edam helped us test all the fuses and replace them safely as I didn't want to electrocute myself.   Edam gave me some excellent tips on what to do to prevent frying your fuses.  I especially liked how Edam called back within minutes and offered to come that same day since I was in the area.  I thought this was very considerate of him and upon arrival, he was polite, friendly and professional in appearance and demeanour. I will consider him again for the many home projects that we have in the future.

It's not cute to live like the Amish when you have a hungry and thirsty 1-year old for a boss--the fridge and microwave need to work. Everything electric in our home went on the fritz all at once, and while it's fine for junior to wait for me to heat his milk on the stove instead of the microwave, it is seriously not okay to have to throw out spoiled $8 organic goat milk day after day because the (freakin NEW!) fridge can't stay cold. We weren't psyched to have to call and pay for an electrician, but the burning toxic smells coming from the walls were the final motivation.

Ash from Edam's was able to come out the same week, troubleshoot, and explain the problems in a way I could understand (no dimmer switches on outlets unless you want your baby monitor and cell phone charger to melt down--whoopsie!). If you've ever had a mechanic that took the time to describe your car's issues and repair options, you'll understand why I was so appreciative. He fixed some problems on the spot and came back within 24 hours with parts to do the rest. He even offered different color options for the light switch changes we needed to make. He was efficient and trustworthy. We are so grateful not to be camping in our own house anymore, thanks Edam's!

I was referred to look into Edam's Electric and am so glad I listened to my friend! Ash was able to personally come give us our free estimate and we started work a few days later. We had recessed lighting installed in every room of our house in just a day and a half, got a great price, and Ash's team was efficient, proficient, and clean. Very great guys, and I would recommend Edam's Electric all day long! (We're going to try to install our own light fixture and Ash even offered to walk us through it via FaceTime when we do it in case we have any problems.) So professional!!

Prompt. Honest. Reliable.

Need I say more?!

Matter of fact, I will. Ash was very professional as he returned my call within less than an hour of leaving a frantic message on his voicemail. I told him that the outlet in my bedroom had went out he replied by telling me that he would meet me at my place by 4:30 later that day. To my surprise, Ash arrived 30 minutes early from our scheduled appointment and he gave me a reasonable estimate before actually working on the project! So he worked on the problem and just as quickly as he arrived, he also was prompt to solve the electrical problem (in less than an hour)! I was more than impressed at this point.

Also, Ash had given me electrical advice and other estimates that were needed in my home which is also good to know- better safe than sorry! In addition, thanks to mentioning YELP I received a discount for Edam's electric service. Its truly refreshing to know that there is still good help out there and Edam's Electric is one of them! (ask for Ash).

My broken outlet and light were fixed within the hour. Reasonably price and convenient. He was on time. He had all the equipment. We had thought that he might have to drive to the hardware store down the street, but he had the equipment in his car. They do not accept credit cards *thumbs down* so I wrote him a check, which I hate doing.

The electrician was very nice and professional fixed my electrical problem. Thank them so much for their help.

This company deserves every star its received. Ash was very responsive, very professional and very honest.

Ash is the only electrician we'll use! Fast, efficient, reasonable, honest and just a really nice guy! Can't go wrong :)

I called and Ash answered the phone! I had tried two others and still have not heard back after leaving a message.

I lost power in one room, my family room. Ash asked a few questions and got to work. He found the problem quickly and fixed it. I will use his services again.

I don't know where to begin .

We recently had an upgrade on an electrical panel by a friend ? , well we all know how that goes .

To keep it short  Ash, Joel and Eligio are not only very professional and great people , but they do beautiful work ! Ash restored my panel to exactly what he said he was going to do, but the only bad thing was that they are so GREAT!!,  that I had to have them do all the extra electrical work I needed to finish up .This included adding recessed lights in my hallway, front room,dining room and bathroom. These men are great people who do GREAT WORK ! I love honest people who do great work ! Thank you Ash, Eligio, and Joel for the beautiful work and restoring my house back to safety.

Ash came by my office and was able to help me on a dimes notice. He fixed a long time issue we were having with our lighting. Kind, courteous and professional! Highly recommended!

Ash and his team are the best! I had a bad experience with another electrician before and wish I would've known Ash and his team a year before. Overall I'm glad I found them and will def save their contact number for any future problem! I would recommend them for anybody looking for high quality, professional electrical work.

I mean, where does one even begin?  Ash and Joel at Edam's are as good as it gets.  

We needed electrical work done on our new shop and searched far and wide for a reliable, trustworthy, talented, fast, and affordable electrician.  Luckily we found Edam's.

They are always on time for appointments, and they are always incredibly honest about what is a need to do, and what is a nice to do.  But they never suggest work you don't need.

They did excellent quality work for us in a very timely, neat, and safe manner.  Not to mention very affordable.

They are so trustworthy and knowledgeable that whenever we have any kind of technical work that needs to get done on the shop we ask them for recommendations of other service providers.  

Last but not least, we have occasionally found ourselves in a pinch when we didn't have the right tools to get a random small shop job done.  We reached out to Edam's Electric for advice and instead they just swung by the shop and helped us out themselves.

Honest, reliable, efficient, and affordable.  Also some of the nicest, most polite people we have ever worked with.  Genuinely, as good as it gets.   They are truly the perfect electrician for any job.

Ash is definitely an honest guy!  I had him come to my house and worked on 2 projects.  1 was installing a switch and another was to replace the knob and tube wiring I had around the house.  Both jobs were done in a quick and efficient manner.  We did have a little accident at the 2nd job, but it was fixed and compensated for by the end of the day.  Ash is quick and Easy.  No BS kind of guy.  Getting a hold of him sometimes can be difficult, but he'll eventually return your calls.  What can I say, he's a popular guy!  I would definitely give him a call again in the future for any other projects I have.

We had a whole-house restoration 2 years ago and Ash from Edam's Electric did *ALL* the electrical work in my entire house.  Anything electrical in my house was done by Ash and team and they are done well.  I also had Ash and his team help with running network, speakers, and coaxial cables throughout the house.  Thanks for a great work!

Can't say enough good things about Ash. We've used him a couple different times and he's always down to earth, hard working and cares about his job. And for the quality of work that he does, very reasonable!

I hired Ash to install recessed lighting in my living room and dining room, as well as some work in the bedroom.  He did a wonderful job and walked us through the project every step of the way.  We had some idea of what we wanted at the beginning, but what Ash recommended came out so much better.  We love what he did with our living room and bedroom.  He really has the expertise to tell you what your different options are takes the time to ask you questions about how you plan to use the space.  For example, my wife mentioned that she likes to read a lot in bed and Ash came up with the great idea of installing some lighting on both sides of the bed for reading, just like those cool little night lights in the hotels.

The best part is that Ash is really honest and reliable.  We told him our budget, he gave us a fee quote at the start of the job, and he stuck to it.  Not only that, but he finished ahead of schedule.  His people are really respectful when they are in your home and always cleaned up after themselves.  I'm definitely going to use him for my next project, probably some outdoor lighting.

I am married to an obsessive compulsive perfectionist who is untrustworthy of tradesmen and prefers to do all home improvement projects himself. I put my foot down when I was 9 months pregnant and demanding that our electrical work be completed ASAP.

I called a few electricians and my husband found faults with each one, except for Ash Edam. After explaining the work we wanted done -- rewiring the kitchen and doing the main panel -- he took the time to point out other things that needed addressing. He wasn't doing this to drum up more business; he was more interested in ensuring that our home is safe.

Because we liked him so much right off the bat, we requested a quote for not only the kitchen wiring and main panel, but for a bunch of other things, like wiring the garage and adding a sub panel. He did more than that, but honestly I wouldn't even know how to describe it all.

In terms of costs, Ash's quote was very competitive. It wasn't the cheapest, but I would prefer to pay a little more and hire someone you trust. And let's face it, good electricians cost a pretty penny!

Ash and his crew were great. They were always professional, polite and efficient. I felt completely safe with them in my home. Also, when the work was proceeding ahead of schedule, Ash informed us that they would be able to do additional lighting work that we originally wanted (over cabinet lighting) at no additional cost. Unbelievable, I know!

The end result is great. Our home is now safe and our kitchen lighting is beautiful. Ash picked some nice, understated fixtures...I couldn't have chosen better looking ones myself.

One more thing - After I had our son, Ash called just to check in and ask how our new baby was doing. Now that's an electrician that cares!

I've lived in the Bay Area for about 8 years now having transplanted from the North East.  I still find it difficult to find good service providers here.  There are just a lot of individuals & companies here that don't seem to take pride in their work or their costumer service. On the East Coast I always knew an electrician/a plumber/a mechanic/etc that was a 3rd generation service provider and whose reputation meant everything to them. Ash is an exception to the Bay Area laxity in this area. He clearly takes pride in good service.  I received his name from a friend when the kitchen electricity in our rental home went out.  Our landlords didn't have a go-to electrician and were just going to use the Yellow Pages to find one.  I wanted to be sure to get a well respected and recommended electrician so I asked my local friends on FB :) I'm so glad I called Ash that day.  It is him you're calling not a receptionist; he handles the contact & scheduling himself. He was courteous, honest, reasonable, respectful and thorough.  Not to mention extremely nice!  He came out the next day.  I'm so glad to have found an electrician that I feel could be our go-to electrician and that I would GLADLY recommend to others. Our landlords also hired him to work on their other properties!

Very impressed with Ash's quick work and honesty...several of my lighting issues were easy fixes and Ash was honest with what I had to do and didn't take advantage...THAT'S how you build trust and a reputation. Thanks Ash!

I called to get an estimate to replace some electrical fixtures,  fix a non working light and troubleshoot a set of lights which flicker.  My call was quickly returned, he showed up on time for our scheduled estimate appointment and gave a reasonable quote.  We scheduled a time for the work to be completed, however about 1/2 hr before the appointment he called to say his co-worker called in sick and we would need to reschedule.  No problem - except I have not received a call back.  Thinking that things sometimes happen or phone numbers get lost, I left a message to reschedule.  Still no response... that was months ago.

I'm glad I found this place on yelp, and the reviews are dead on!  I had my main electrical box upgraded last year.  I got quotes from 3 other places before deciding on this place.  Ash was very knowledgeable and honest and the price was very good.  His team was always on time, very nice, and clean.  I now call them for any electrical work I need done.   I will definitely use them again!

Quick, reliable, straightforward.  I recommend Edam's Electric without hesitation.  Ash has been to my house twice now - both times they took care of some basic electrical work quickly and professionally.  This last time I had an emergency and he moved things around to come by the same day. If you need electrical work done, you can't go wrong with Edam's.  As you can see, most of my reviews are usually negative, that tells you just how happy I am with Edams!

Ash has saved my life many times.  My flat, my two tenants flats.  This 1870 Victorian is always coming up with ways to challenge my patience.  Ash always can find a way to fix the problem.  Today is New Year's Eve and he came to help make it possible to survive this weekend.  Tripping circuits left and right and house guests arrived yesterday.  Couldn't turn the lights on.  Now i am grounded and have dedicated circuits.  I can't believe i can vacuum without turning off everything else in the flat.  Thank you so much and thank you to wife and children for letting him out on New Year's Eve.

Ash is awesome!  He answers his phone and he showed up quickly and on-time for each of the 3 jobs I have had him do. One required a permit (new panel) and he took care of all - good thing because the city inspector saw his truck at my house and stopped to ask him what was going on. Reasonable rates.

Cannot say enough good things about Edam's and Ash!  We called them out after researching different electric companies as we needed to re-wire our entire home.  They were professional and courteous, arriving on time or early every day!  They completed the job in less time than expected and went above and beyond in taking care or our home!  I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for an electrician.
