The quality of customer service and workmanship was excellent. From the very start to the finished project.  They sent someone right away to look at my project, which was adding fans and recessed lighting, changing out some light fixtures.  I received a quote the next day, their prices are very reasonable.  They were right on time to start, did everything exactly how they said they were going to do it. They cleaned up and left everything perfect. I am extremely pleased with their work, I will be recommending them to my family and friends.

Everyone that works at Zapp Electric are very friendly and know their trade.
Always with a big smile.

The whole team at Zapp Electric is amazing. Jonathan came to do the quote and the quote was very comparable to other ones I got. However, Zapp electric came recommended by a friend so I figured I'll just go with them. I am SO happy I did. I didn't have any other space in my panel for an EV charger, but Jonathan knew exactly what needed to be done to make it work. Also, when installing my charger, he measured and balanced the position of the charger to make sure it'll look good. AND to top it off, he left the work space cleaner than it was when he arrived :) His detailed work, friendliness, and good quote earned a 5+ Star from me! Highly recommended :)

1. Our outdoor 120 circuit with two lamp posts stopped working after a heavy rain in November. Four visits, a month, and $650 later, the shoddy workmanship of their first electrician was finally repaired, only to have the second lampost stop working.
2. I suspect the first electrician didn't completely close the junction box when he first looked at it. It worked fine before he left but shorted out immediately after the next rain. That box had been working without issue for years.
3. Rather than fixing the junction box, they said the wires were too short and insisted that pay them another $650 to run new wires and replace the box itself.
4. When I told them I wouldn't pay another $650 to fix the problem, the electrician told me the real problem was the handyman who installed the system.
5. When I told him that after four visits, they were in no position to criticize the first guy when they did the exact same configuration, he looked away.
6. I had also asked them to install 4 Amazon plugs to work with Alexa, but after the plugs were mounted, they told me they didn't know how to configure them with Alexa. I was left to my own to configure. After reading the instructions carefully, they needed to be configured upon installation for all four of them to work to turn on my holiday lights with Alexa. At this point, they don't work with Alexa - which means I had them replaced for nothing.

Plus - their pricing seems random and ridiculous. I had purchased four covered outdoor posts with GFI plugs to make sure they would not be exposed to water. The estimated amounts are in the image below ($3735).

We won't ever have these people do work for us again.

I had a partial power outage andneeded an electrician. I made an appointment through Yelp with this company, at first I almost didn't confirm, but when I called, they said they could still get an electrician out to me within the time frame I needed. The two electricians who stopped by were very polite and quick about fixing the electrical issue, and explaining to me what they did.

They installed a Tesla wall charger in my garage. Great service, reasonable price and were very thorough with how they'd run cables through the attic and down two floors to my garage. They even patched the drywall holes, which almost all electricians said they would not do! They cleaned up properly after they finished and told me I could reach out if I had any questions. I look forward to working with them in the future. Thanks Zapp!

Robert and Bobby came out on very short notice and installed outlets for our dryer and oven. They also installed our Ring doorbell. They were AWESOME. They were polite, extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond. I would recommend Zapp 100% and they will be our first choice for all of our electrical needs.

We had Bobby and Robert out today and they installed outlets for electric oven and dryer and installed wiring for ring doorbell. Installed wiring for electric dryer. They worked so hard in the heat and even hotter attic. Patched the holes and cleaned up. They were super friendly. Really went above and beyond. They saved the day! We were able to install and use all of our appliances. Highly recommend.

I have been having issues with my doorbell / camera / alarm system  like forever. The two Zapp electric guys came, figured out what the different issues were (badly connected transformer and defective ring) and fixed everything.
They were on time, very organized, clean and super efficient. In about an hour, it was all done. I could not be happier and I highly recommend Zapp Electric!

I needed to find and replace all aluminum wiring in an old house and update the circuit to current standards. It was a pretty complex project given the long history of changes by prior owners.  Zapp electric did this for me and had it done with a city permit and inspection.

Zach and Dallas were very professional. They explained the problems and helped solve each one as we uncovered them.

I will definitely recommend them to anyone else who needs anything from a  simple to the most complex electrical projects.

Very knowledgeable and hardworking crew!

Didn't even get to hire them because they never responded with an estimate even though they said they would. They asked for pictures and I provided it, and they saw read my follow up message but never responded.

I would have given a 5* review as the techs were very respectful and appeared to do a good job. I had them install humidity fan switches and asked for the timer to be set to 30 minutes.  The fans were not turning off and when I turned them off they would turn right back on. So I removed the face plates and checked the settings and the tech set the humidity setting  to MAX. That is NOT correct and you NEVER set it to max. The instructions show the factory set it center of dial.  I set the humidity to center as it shows  it the instructions and now the fans are working correctly.  I should not have had to do that not sure if this was a mistake or they were looking to come back to correct and charge me for it.  Either way I'm not happy!!

While not the cheapest bid, they were the most thorough with it for installing a 240v,50 amp circuit with a NEMA 14-50 outlet. They actually improve the project plan when installing and it turned out to be a cleaner install than I envisioned.

I needed an outdoor outlet installed. Zapp was very quick to respond and give me a quote. This morning Johnny came out and completed the work. He was quick efficient and an absolute professional to deal with. So 3 days after my initial contact my outlet is installed and the job complete.
I highly recommend using Zapp Electric!

Thru Yelp messages I received a quote of $125 for work to be done. They were able to come out
the next. Dallas had offered a 9 appointment but I had one previously. She said the y could be here
at 11. Prefect! My technician was Johnny he was on time, polite and efficient. I was very happy
with the response time from Dallas and the project (Porch light fixture replaced) done by Johnny

I had the most wonderful with Zapp Electric! An employee names Carlos came, who was no nice, so knowledgeable, and so professional! I had two sink faucets that needed to be installed, and I thought it was a small task that I did not have the tools for, but I'm glad I called, because one of the sink faucets I bought was too tall, and the other one did not connect properly. He fixed everything! I also had a dishwasher dispose that he installed, and he came back the next day to install a new shower set (he came back the next day because he had another house to go to-so they are also time conscious).
Thank you Carlos, and thank you Zapp! You are my new, and only plumbing company now!

We had an issue with a recently installed ceiling fan with remote. Two electricians came over to diagnose the issue and fixed the problem in less than 30 mins. They were very professional and even provided some advice on another lighting issue after they finished the main job. I would definitely hire Zapp for future needs.

called Zapp Electric to help diagnose an electrical outlet issue in our home. they were prompt, professional, and solved the issue in less than 30 minutes. as it turns out, the previous electrician we used to fix an issue a year ago, required the outlet wrong, which caused a string of issues downstream from the outlet... Zapp, great work and really appreciate your attention to detail, honest assessment and most of all, the fixed outlets. thank you!

I was very impressed with their promptness and professionalism.  I am glad to recommend this company to anyone who is looking for quality  electrical work.  They even let me go to the store with them and helped me select the best front porch light with the best quality for the right price.

I wanted to take a moment to say what an upfront and honest company this is. I had asked to have a chandelier hang. When they came they told me they had done some research on the kind of chandelier I had and that it might not be low enough to suit my space. Turns out they were right !! They took a proactive approach to help me. They may have lost out on getting paid today but they now have a customer for life !!  And I'll certainly hire them again when I can find the appropriate chandelier !

These guys moved a pool pump switch to a new location for me. The job turned out to be more complicated than originally thought, but the tech (Johnny) reassessed the work needed very quickly and did the job right away. While testing, the main breaker got tripped and because of its' age, it couldn't be reset. The Tech quickly sourced a new breaker, drove to pick it up and replaced it. He retested everything and only charged me wholesale for the breaker. Appreciated their quick work and honesty. I would highly recommend them to anyone with electrical needs!

Zapp Electric was referred by a friend.  I called and explained what I needed done in detail.  The woman on the phone was great.  She asked a lot of questions so she could send the right person to look at the job.
Two men came to look at what I needed done.  They took photos and made notes about the specific work.  They arrived at the time agreed.  I was told I would have an estimate later that day or the following day.  Three days later I called to ask about the estimate I did not receive.  After the gentleman looked up the information I was told I would have the proposal by the end of the day.  Four days later I called again and was told the same thing, I would have the estimate by the end of the day.  Three weeks later and I have not received any further communication from Zapp Electric.  No phone call, no email, nothing.  If the job was out of their scope of work or too small, all they had to do was say so.   This was actually the second time this company has done this to me.  This experience tells me they are not dependable.  Sorry Zapp Electric.  I have taken my business elsewhere.

So glad I found this company! I had multiple issues: problems with possible short on the fuse box, garage door not working, needed ceiling fan replaced, needed vanity light replaced, two shower lights not working, needed new switch. They took care of every single thing so quickly, I couldn't believe it! They were friendly, polite, capable, cleaned up after, all for a fair and reasonable price. This will be my go-to electric company from now on. Thank you ZAPP Electric!!!

My wife and I found this outfit on Yelp.  I have to say, we wished we have learned about Zap years ago.  My wife received a quote and carefully reviewed it and discussed with Dallas the scope of work before the day of installation.  Dallas was very knowledgeable and my wife and I were very impressed with the details Dallas provided and also made a few recommendations to where I have to say adds value which added value to his character and professionalism.  We were very happy with Zap service and will be definitely be using them again.

We needed a fan installed on our deck. The team came out promptly for a free assessment. Once we agreed, they arrived within a few days to the work. They were professional, knowledgable, and efficient. Once complete, I actually needed an adjustment from where we originally wanted it. They came back a couple of days later to complete that request. We will definitely use them again. Our neighbors have used them twice and are also very happy. Thank you!

Johnny came today and installed a ceiling fan, chandelier, entry light, replaced the old light switches with new flip toggles and even had dimmers on hand to switch out as well!!! He was on time, knowledgeable, friendly and extremely professional. I love family-owned businesses who have been serving a community for generations and that is EXACTLY this company!!! They are very affordable and accommodating. I will absolutely be using them for all of my electric needs moving forward. Highly recommend!!!

Despite challenges in getting SDG&E out, which prolonged our project far beyond anything we imagined, we were very happy with Zapp and everyone who was onsite.  We hit a snag with a County inspector, and the crew improvised and redid some work (at no additional charge to us).
Super nice guys who also tolerated our dogs following them around.  We would definitely hire them again

Great company. Professional, knowledgeable, respect of me and my house.  Zapp technicians installed a vintage chandelier that was purchased from a consignment shop, little to no information on the chandelier.  They tested each light socket (15 total), and trouble shot a couple of issues.  The chandelier is up and beautiful.  I will hire Zapp again for my future electrical projects.

I've had multiple jobs done by them including Ring camera floodlight install, updating wiring and checking attic, as well as hiding wires behind TV. Shane was our technician for most of the jobs and did a great job. Zapp was also the only company who responded the quickest while we were closing escrow and had electrical questions. Highly reccomend.

When I called to make the appointment, I spoke to Dallas, who was very knowledgeable and responsive.  He was able to schedule me for the same week, and asked all the right questions about the work needed (replacing a broken switch in the bathroom). This morning, Johnny arrived right on time, wore a mask the entire time, and was very friendly, efficient, and fast.  The work was done in a blink of an eye.  

Dallas, Johnny and Zack are the 4th generation in their family to become electricians, and you can see that they take a great deal of pride in representing the family.  

I will call them whenever I need electrical work done (and in a 1940's home, it is more likely than not to need work!).  You can't go wrong calling Zapp Electric!

I am so happy with their service!

I needed a 240 volt line brought into my garage from the breaker box for charging a new plug-in hybrid car.  Zac and Robert arrived on time, did an excellent job on the installation, cleaned up well, and did it all for a very reasonable price.  I made sure they gave me business cards, two of which I gave to the car dealer so they could recommend Zapp for such work to their customers.  I strongly recommend Zapp and have nothing negative to say about them.

Great technician, but the office staff is rude.

They transcribed by email address incorrectly, sent me a paper bill with no way to pay it. When I called, they corrected the email address, sent me the bill to pay online. The online payment system was confusing. I thought it was paid. They left a voice mail at work (rather than on my cell phone) to alert me of the unpaid invoice. I called to figure out what went wrong, and Robyn berated me about the invoice instead of helping me figure out what had happened. The approach to someone calling to figure out what had happened was unhelpful and unkind. Because of this interchange, I'll find a different company to do the electric panel upgrade in my home. Unfortunate, because we really liked the technician's work.

I was referred to Zapp from the Home Depot ProReferral system to install a new range hood and ceiling light in my mom's kitchen before she had guests come to town. At first they were pretty responsive, texting me to confirm my appointment ahead of time. They guys that came out were friendly as well.

I didn't notice until after they had left that the range hood was installed unevenly. The hood itself was a standard 30 inch hood but was only 29.5 inches to account for the 30 inch space. However, the space in my mom's kitchen is 30.5 inches to account for the 30 inch hood. Rather than centering the entire hood, they installed it with a 1-inch gap on one side. Not sure if there were complications during installation due to my mom's old cabinets but none of this was communicated to me during installation.

I called the office and asked to speak to the gentleman that installed it and was told they would get back to me when they were free. A week later, I didn't hear from them so I decided to remove the range hood myself to find that they had used old rusty screws, possibly the ones taken from the old range hood? Not sure if this is standard business practice but for the price I was paying, I expected more professionalism and better quality.

Finally decided to call Pacific Express. Incredibly friendly service! They came out next day and installed the range hood at HALF the price. Marco, who installed it, was very meticulous and covered the entire counter space where he worked so as not to damage anything in the kitchen. He also made sure to center the hood so my OCD eyes would not be bothered. Thanks so much Pacific Express!

If and when I ever again need an electrician for my condo, I will definitely be calling Zapp!  I can't say enough good things about them.  I was referred to Zapp Electric by The Home Depot's ProReferral, who had three selections in my area for the job I needed done.  Dan Hunt called me so fast on the same day, a Sunday, which surprised me, as I figured someone would email or call me on Monday, or not at all as I have found out what happens with these online referrals.  Shout out to THD for having a great company on their referrals team.

Dan Hunt is a very pleasant guy to work with. This is a family-owned business that's been around since 1978.  After I explained to Dan what I needed, he told me they were very familiar with the brand I chose and highly recommended it.  I wanted to replace my very old noisy bathroom exhaust fan to a quiet one, Panasonic WhisperQuiet.  We made the appointment for first thing Tuesday and his son Zach and helper, Robert arrived on time.  I had misinformed Dan of what I needed (which is one reason I need an experienced electrician!) and instead of the fan they had already brought with them, Zach went out and got the proper fan with an LED light.  (I didn't realize the bathroom light and fan were in the same unit.)  Robert did the prep work, Zach returned with the right model, and soon I had a brand new bathroom fan and light that I am beyond thrilled with.  The men were very nice, friendly, clean, professional and respectful.  They did a fantastic job of  installing the ceiling fan with no damage to the ceiling paint or anything else, and cleaned up after the job.  Highly skilled experts who know what they're doing.

Here's the kicker though:  Last year I had another highly-rated electrical and plumbing company install a kitchen lighting system, which I was and am still happy with, so I had called them first to come out for another electrical problem I was having, which has been resolved.  Since I've been planning this upgrade to my home for a while, I thought since their electrician was here, I would inquire about a new quiet fan.  I knew that a super quiet exhaust fan is going to be more expensive than the standard cheap fans, but was surprised at his price quote.  Even with their yelp discount, it was over $1,000 dollars.  Zapp Electric charged me for the price of the fan at their supplier, for which they must get a discount and didn't mark up the merchandise, or charge a hella lot for labor.  Zapp was $640 less, so you know they are honest and won't gouge you.  A very reasonable upgrade in home maintenance and worth every penny.  Zapp Electric's work is guaranteed.  They take all major credit cards including AmEx.  They've been in business for over 40 years but are up-to-date on the latest technology of business and have all the professional expertise and workmanship you'll need available.  Fast and honest hard workers.

Highly recommended, 5 Stars isn't enough, but they are rock stars in the wonderful world of electricians.

Thank you Dan Jr, Zachery and Robert!!!

We had Zapp come out to our home to install a large (6 feet wide) and heavy (150 lbs) chandelier.  The entire crew of Carlos, Dallas, Skyler, Bobby led by Johnny were awesome and took great care of our very expensive chandelier.  They brought scaffolding and even rigged a pulley system to ensure that the chandelier was gently handled.  My wife and i were extremely pleased with the work they performed and our living room now looks awesome.  This is a company that takes pride in their work.  Thank you Zapp Team !!

This company is fantastic!! I have had multiple calls out to other electricians, but this company definitely came through.  The first time they arrived was to give me a quote, which was great because they video what you are getting done, so when the person shows up they know what they are doing.
When they came to do the work, they were prompt and informative.  Shane was great at communicating and ensuring what we wanted to have done.  He was responsive and worked hard to get the job done.

Zapp went out of their way to fit me in for an emergency and were kind and professional. The office manager kept me informed of arrival time and all pricing information and the team exceeded my expectations. Thank you Zapp ! I've already scheduled with them again for another project.

Had a chandelier install and some switch modifications.  Dan was able to provide a reasonable & accurate estimate and quickly schedule the work. The technicians that came out, Johnathan & Skylar did a great job. They explained things thoroughly, using easy to understand language. They worked through issues calmly with a great customer service oriented attitude, to make sure I was happy with the final product.

From the friendly greeting and communication from Robyn, to Dan's promptness with his estimate and availability! His son and apprentice came out to replace two existing light fixtures with fan rated boxes and ceiling fans with extra long poles.  Did a terrific job, super clean, friendly, efficent and helped out with advice about other items.  Great contractor!

Excellent service, starting from my call to enquire about service with Robyn  to Shane and Robert coming out and completing all the work in one day. They were friendly, courteous and exceedingly thorough. They hung six ceiling fans, three kitchen island pendants, one dining room light and created an extra outlet in the bathroom. They cleaned up after themselves and took good care of our furniture, moving it out of their way to ensure no damage occurred while installing fans/lights.

We are thrilled with the work they did for us and would highly recommend Zapp Electric. We will b calling them back out to install our foyer light next. I will be recommending them to my neighbors and friends. Thank you Shane, Robert, Robyn and Zapp Electric!

I hold Zapp Electric in extremely high regard. We chose to go with them after receiving a detailed quote and the assumption that they hadn't earned our business simply because they made a house call to give us an estimate. Their approach was refreshing and I thank them for the respect they gave us as a potential customer, not a guaranteed one.

Our attic fan went out so we went to Home Depot's ProReferral. They gave us three selections on someone to replace it. Dan Hunt from Zapp responded within hours and was able to send someone out the next day. Both Dan and Shane, the electrician, were great - they answered all our questions - even the dumb ones. Their rates are reasonable (below the average cost of a job), they are the height of professionalism and just the nicest guys. Excellent work - I highly recommend them.

Had them install two ceiling fans in my home. My original one was no longer working, and they confirmed it was dead. I also wanted a new one added in a different room. I had two newly purchased fans in boxes ready to go, and they replaced the dead one, and mounted the other one in a room that previously had no fan. The single electrician was friendly, quick, and efficient. He had the whole job wrapped up and cleaned up in a very short time. The price was what they had quoted on the phone, which I thought was reasonable. The next time I ever need an electrician, Zapp will be my first choice. Highly recommended!

Zapp Electric has been awesome to work with. Dan was very patient, professional and courteous during initial phone conversation assessing the work.

Once scheduled, Jeremy and Shane showed up on time and did a fantastic job of replacing exhaust fan in the bathroom and fix a few other things. Very friendly, very professional and nice guys to deal with.

Very happy with their work. I would bring them in again for any other electric work. I would also recommend them to my friends.

Our office needed a light fixture to be input into a small conference room. I went ahead and got an estimate of the installation and we were pleased. We went ahead and followed through with setting up a date for the installation. The day came and the 2 guys were here earlier than scheduled and went ahead and got started. They finished and the chandelier installed looked great. They went out of their way to look for a specific light bulb that the chandelier required which was really helpful!

I have used and recommended Zapp Electric and have not been disappointed. After a little mix up on my last appointment, the issue was solved. What I needed done was going to be more extensive and expensive then I had realized. The electrician was able to do a safe fix which I was happy with and I was not charged for the visit.
Again, I am deeply satisfied with this company's honesty  and ethical practices. I would highly recommend this company over and over.

We recently used Zapp Electric to rewire our kitchen during a remodel. They did an excellent job, and we ended up having them redo all the electrical in our entire house. Zach, Robert, Jeremy and Johnny, we're all prompt, courteous, and excellent professionals. They shuffled schedules and arrived when they said they would. Honest work, fair pricing, you cannot go wrong with this company!

Jeremy and Shane were out at my house on Tuesday and helped me with a variety of electrical projects around my house including adding several new dimmer switches, new LED lights throughout, and putting in a spa electrical outlet in my backyard.  They were both very nice, punctual, and knowledgeable and did a great job including cleaning up before leaving!  I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do about the new spa outlet and they gave me several ideas to choose from which was appreciated.  I thought the price was very fair for everything they did.  I will certainly contact Zapp again for me future electrical needs. Thank you!

The guys arrived early and we're able to add two outlets outside replace an out outlet with a GFI and change out a couple two prongs outlets with GFIs inside. They were quick, professional and clean. I am very impressed by this company if you need any electrical work done call them first. Oh there prices were very reasonable.

Mr. Hunt from Zapp Electric came out to give us an estimate for a ceiling fan in our bedroom with a cathedral ceiling.  The estimate was very reasonable, and we made an appointment.  The two gentlemen who came out were very professional, polite, and found the best way to put in the ceiling fan.  They did a great job with cleaning up and even vacuumed the area before they left.  They are the best and most efficient contractors we have ever had.

I highly recommend Zapp and will use them in the future for my electrical needs.

I was having an electrical problem in our condo in North Park.  I'd already received an estimate from another electrician for $650 but thinking this was probably high, I called Zapp.  They came out on Saturday (I had to pay a bit more for this but it was the only day I was free) and Shane (I think) found the problem right away.  It wasn't an electrical problem in the condo wiring but an easy fix on the dryer.  He worked for about an hour and the total charge was a small fraction of what I would have paid if I had gone with the original estimate.  Plus I don't have to replace the dryer! He was  nice, friendly and on time and fixed the problem.  What more could you ask?  Will definitely use Zapp again if I need an electrician.  Thank you, Zapp!

Zack and Skyler did a phenomenal job hanging a crystal chandelier at my home! Very nice and professional, with a high level of attention to detail. From dusting each crystal pane before hanging it, to taking the time to ensure the height was appropriate, to cleaning up at the end. They even helped me straighten out a crooked light fixture that someone else had installed -- truly above and beyond! Also the company was great about responding promptly. The next time I need an electrician, I definitely know who I'll be calling. Highly recommended.

Simply put.....Zapp Electric was excellent, from start to finish!  I will absolutely call Zapp Electric for any electrical service needs that I have in the future!  
Their customer service was spot on!  I made my initial contact with Zapp via Yelp and within 30 minutes I was scheduling a technician to come to my home at a very reasonable and understandable rate.
I was told at the time of scheduling that Zachary (a troubleshooting expert) would be the electrician coming to my home.
I can't say enough about Zachary, he was early to our scheduled appointment, he was courteous, he was100 percent professional, and did I say, that he really is a troubleshooting expert and a fantastic electrician!  
I was having problems with our spa tripping the GFCI circuit breaker-this problem came on all of a sudden and without warning making our spa essentially useless and unsafe (for the equipment).  Without going into the details, Zachary went above and beyond my expectations while troubleshooting and isolating the problem, he was extremely professional and his electrical knowledge is superb!    
Zapp's Officer Manager and Zachary represented Zapp Electric extremely well, I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of electrical services.  
Thank you to the Zapp Electric Team!

I had major electrical issues going on and a friend recommended Zapp and say they were honest. That made me call them, Zac came out and throughly investigated and found problem, which ended up being in the Smart Meter. Thought SDGE would handle that but they said no, you need an electrician. I had to call Zapp same day after they had already left. Dan was so quick to say they'd be happy to come back out, no problem at all. Zac came back and throughly fixed a very difficult wiring issue in Smart Meter. Everything about it was difficult and he fixed it in no time, fixed it perfect!!!! Then came back in and took time to make sure everything good. He went way above and beyond what I expected and I'll definitely use them and no one else again. They're 100% honest too. Thank you Zapp for your honesty and excellent work and excellent customer service.

These guys are rewiring my 90 year old home.  My requirements evolved quite a bit over the course of the project.  Trevar and Johnny are exceptional electricians.  Trevar has gone out of his way to educate me and to help me manage this project.  Trevar understands that I often times don't really know what questions to ask.  Trevar walks me through different options, helps me arrive at a decision, and then tracks that decision (along with 100 other decisions I've made) .  These guys are an absolute pleasure to work with, and their prices are competitive.

We were upgrading / renovating our house and contacted Zapp.  They were quick to respond (w/in 24 hrs) and available the next day.  We wanted to install 4 can lights in our kitchen.  The electrician, Aaron, ran into a couple of road blocks.  He was able to describe the problem in a straightforward manner and gave us a handful of potential options about how to work around the structural barriers.  We eventually worked together on an agreeable solution and the lights came out looking great.

The next week we ran into a problem with a 3 and 4 way switch.  AJ was able to squeeze us in between nearby appointments on the same day that we called.  Awesome!  Not only did he help us out with the switch, but he explained the concepts behind 4 way switches and did a bit of teaching.  (This is great for a DIYer like myself).

Costs were very reasonable and the site was clean at the end of the job.  Highly recommended.

I will definitely use their service again, and I highly recommend them.

Called Sunday they were closed but they still made me an appointment for Monday, my problem was not an emergency. Dan Hunt arrived on time, got right to work. Very professional, quick, showed me what was wrong. Our washer was not equipped for our outlet. Replaced the blown fuze and face plate. $100 an hour plus $78 for parts. $178 later and I'm pleased. Would definitely recommend. Thanks Dan

Don't expect punctuality or timeliness from Zapp, so much so that it severely detracts from the electrical work that was completed right. The first instance I had a appointment scheduled for 8 (with a 30 min window), and hadn't heard anything by 845 so I called to find out the status and then was informed they'd be at my house soonest which turned out to be 915. They took an 1.5 hour lunch break and only finished 2/3s of the work. I make another appointment for 1pm (with a 30 min window) a week later. I get a phone call at 120 the day of, saying we're finishing a job nearby, should be there in 45 min. 3pm comes and goes and I haven't heard anything further from the electrician or the folks at Zapp's office... and as it turns out, they didn't plan on showing up cause the previous job ran way over. Communication is poor so be prepared to initiate that and don't expect any sort of timeliness on their behalf.

I needed to replace an alarm cable from a window to under the house.  I knew it was a pretty small job, but Dan Hunt was very pleasant over the phone and said he would be happy to do it.  He indicated that they install a lot of closed circuit surveillance systems, entertainment cables, etc., and that they were experienced in doing the type of work I needed. He estimated that it would take about one hour and cost $100.  He showed up a few minutes early, neatly taped plastic to catch drilled material, had his son crawl under the house to fish the cable through the newly drilled hole.  The job was completed within the hour, and I was charged $100 as agreed to.  He did the billing electronically at the job site, and I was able to receive an email with the invoice.  This company seemed honest, professional, they knew their trade, and I would definitely use them again.

I cannot even begin to say how professional and amazing this company is. This is the second time our business has used them. Both times that we have called them for a quote, Dan has showed up within an hour to look everything over and give us a quote while he is here. Once we gave the ok on the job, his guys were here the next day. Again, extremely professional, very efficient and they do wonderful work. In addition to this, I know that for the first job that we did, they were less than a third of the price of other companies we contacted, yet the work was exceptional. I will happily say that I will use them for anything and everything I can. They are great!!

I needed bedroom and hallway ceiling lights installed, along with connecting the lights to their respective light switches. I called Zapp on Wednesday, 8/8 to get a second opinion as I felt a quote from another provider was too high.  I know nothing about lighting, but I spoke with Dan and told him the exact specifications as quoted by the other provider. He was able to give me pricing over the phone and then emailed me the estimate, which was very competitive. I then worked with Anne to schedule the appointment on Monday 8/13, who called and texted me based on my availability at the time, and even worked to try to get me an earlier appointment. The technicians showed up on time, were very courteous, and finished the project within the time frame originally projected by Dan. They brought all the tools they needed and cleaned up making it look better than it did before.  The lighting looks great, and you can't tell they were just installed. Zapp is definitely a 5-Star provider and I highly recommend giving them a try!

The fact that this particular company wasn't one of the more popular electrical companies; I was very apprehensive and had some doubt.  All my doubts were quickly laid to rest when I realize how well the electricians work.  There were two of them; one seem to me be a senior electrician along with an apprentice.  It was inspiring to see how the senior gentleman guided and corrected the apprentice.  They were a great team.  They were very polite and didn't mind me bothering with questions about what they were doing.  In the end the cost of the service was a bit expensive for me but I thought t was worth every penny.  I no longer have electrical short circuiting problems at my business place.  I now operate my business with a sense of confidence and peace of mind in knowing that all the old electrical work is now up to date.  And within the standards set by law.  I want to thank you guys for the good work you have done and continue to do. You will be forever be my number one electrical company.  They are highly recommended and you should all hire them, 10 out of 10 ratings.
