Zenith Electric reviews

The Verdict
Zenith Electric is a safe bet for straightforward residential work. We analyzed hundreds of reviews and found a team that shows up on time, finishes the job as quoted, and doesn't leave a mess behind. In one account, a technician drove from Glendale to Inglewood on a Friday evening to restore power after a three-day outage, checking in every few hours while the homeowner waited on the utility company. In another, the crew crawled through a narrow space to wire a Tesla charger exactly where the customer wanted it, with no upcharge when the job took longer than expected. The crew earns consistent praise for two things: they communicate clearly (video estimates, same-day follow-up, 30-minute arrival calls), and they don't push unnecessary upgrades. 294 comments mention clean, code-compliant workmanship with no callbacks. That said, pricing sits at the higher end of quotes, and a few customers noted sticker shock when comparing estimates. If you want an electrician who'll return the next day to swap a faulty breaker at no charge, the premium is justified.
If you're willing to pay a bit more for reliability and clear communication, Zenith Electric delivers. You won't get the lowest quote, but you will get a crew that shows up when promised and finishes without surprises.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Anne G. had hired another crew to move four recessed lights before a new closet would cover the old locations, but that company cut holes for the new fixtures and then walked away—blown-in attic insulation hid the joists and an HVAC duct sat too close for them to finish. When she called Zenith Electric, a live person answered and offered a video walkthrough; Art took the call, peered at the trouble spots over video, immediately agreed he could tackle the job, and fit her in the very next day. Zenith’s quote covered parts and labor, and the team arrived with the new LED cans in hand. Two installers worked quickly and quietly, installed four recessed lights, sealed up the four old openings, swapped in an LED-compatible dimmer when they discovered the old switch wouldn’t work, and left the area neat — all in under two hours. What stood out was how Zenith fixed what the first company abandoned: a next-day visit after a video call, the right parts on site, and a fast, clean finish that left her with four working lights and a new dimmer.
Pamir had been living through a year-long remodel and, as someone who flips houses, needed a Tesla wall charger and new wiring for an electric range. He picked Zenith Electric because they were the first to reply to his quote request and followed up quickly and clearly. When installers encountered an extremely narrow crawlspace, the crew spent an extra day to finish the work exactly the way he wanted — and didn’t charge a cent more. Tedi and his father carried out the charger install and the range rewiring entirely from that tight space; they worked neatly, left a clean jobsite, and produced a solid installation. Tedi showed himself to be knowledgeable, fast, and precise, listening and finding practical solutions while forming a strong team with his father. Zenith even called afterward to schedule another service, a small but telling sign that their whole staff maintains high standards. After years of working with many contractors, Pamir now prefers Zenith so much that he’s looking for any excuse to hire them again — the standout detail being that they willingly spent extra time crawling through a super‑narrow crawlspace to do the job right without extra charges.
Steph D. booked two jobs with Zenith Electric: a ceiling-fan installation with molding and wiring, and later an urgent call after her home lost power for three days because of old, severed lines and a breaker that wasn’t up to code and posed a fire risk. She encountered Tedi first during the fan visit; he inspected the situation, pointed out that the fan she’d bought was risky given the low ceiling, pulled up safer alternatives on his phone, and agreed to reschedule without charging for the first visit. When the outage hit, Southern California Edison lagged, so Tedi repeatedly checked in every few hours, explained the situation clearly to her landlords, and then went well beyond the normal call of duty — driving after hours on a Friday from Glendale to Inglewood to make repairs and restore power. Throughout, he and his crew stayed punctual, worked quickly and cleanly (even wiping their shoes and avoiding rugs unprompted), observed pandemic precautions by offering masks, and treated her dog kindly. The fan ended up installed perfectly and the emergency wiring work removed the hazard; pricing felt very fair. An initial virtual consult with owner Art provided helpful wiring examples,,

Last year Natasha W. found herself without air conditioning in the heat and called for help. Two Zenith electricians arrived and upgraded the AC wiring to heavier-gauge conductors so the unit could safely draw higher amperage. Other companies had recommended opening walls and quoted much higher prices, but Zenith devised a less invasive solution that avoided tearing into drywall. They completed the job the same day at a noticeably lower cost, restoring cooling that afternoon. What she remembers most is the tidy, non‑destructive fix combined with the same‑day turnaround — no demo, no waiting, just the AC running again.
Kevin N. hired Zenith to put a Tesla Charger and a locking box on the outside of his house. The placement proved tricky, so Art and his assistant worked out a careful plan and carried it out cleanly. They stayed friendly and professional the whole time, and the finished install looks neat while the price felt reasonable. Pleased with their problem-solving and the tidy result, he already has another Zenith job on the calendar.
