The result is amazing
Project: Add to our older home garage door coach lights and a post light controlled by a new timer switch. Austin and associates arrived as promised and spent two days working non-stop to complete our project. Every effort was made to minimize any retrofit damage. No detail was too small. Clean-up each day was thorough. The result is amazing. Better than anticipated. Everyone was pleasant to work with, especially Austin. I would (and will) use this firm again.

Ben Kozora
Jamey did a great job

Matt Decker
Excellent work by Braeden
Excellent work. Braeden was awesome—very knowledgeable and willing to educate me. Always on time, communicated well, and cleaned up when they were done. They were able to avoid cutting into the drywall on my cathedral ceiling to install some new lighting, and I appreciated them taking the time to figure out how to do so! The team was great with my dogs too! :) While Zar is not the least expensive, you pay for what you get: quality. Would definitely hire them again for future work.

Great Experience with Zar Electric
Thank you, Zar, for such a great experience with our electrical repair and installation needs! Jamey thoroughly explained what he would be doing and then meticulously worked on our lighting installation. When he and Brian were finished, they cleaned up the area so that you never would have known where they had been working! If you need an electrician, Zar is the company to call!
Teresa C
He was very professional and speedy.
Braeden with Zar Electric came to our house and fixed the bathroom fixture above the sink, which we thought would have to be replaced. He was able to fix it, and because it matched the other fixture in the room, it saved us some money and some time. He was very professional, speedy, and left the work site perfectly clean. I will use Zar Electric again.
Mary Southern

We highly recommend Zar Electric. They did an excellent job regarding installation of an EV charger and outdoor lighting. The electrician (Mikel) was courteous and knowledgeable. He fully explained all aspects of options and cost. We’ll definitely call them for future needs.
Jim Sita
Great Service from Zar Electric
Braeden Stearns was our electrician today. I can’t say enough good about his professionalism. He wore shoe covers to keep dirt off my floors. He used drop cloths to contain the debris. He did the job taking down one light fixture, moving the box, and putting up a new light fixture very carefully and well. My dining room looks so good with the new fixture! Thank you to Zar Electric for such great service!
Derilyn Robinson

Shelly Goff
Braeden was extremely professional
Zar Electric did a fantastic job getting my garage lighting issues fixed and also replacing a broken fixture in the shower. The electrician Braeden was awesome… he was extremely professional, courteous, and very knowledgeable. A pleasure to work with. They offered me a free safety inspection of our home’s entire electrical system, and I found that helpful as well. Overall, I was very pleased, and I can definitely recommend Zar Electric and plan to use them again.

Excellent Work
Mikel and Braden installed lights in our den and kitchen. In the kitchen, the undercabinet lights were a bit of a challenge. But the two of them worked up the perfect solution without damaging my new cabinets. Excellent work. Would definitely recommend.

I couldn’t be happier with the experience
I recently had an EV charger installed at my home by Jamey, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly easy to work with.

Amazing Customer Service
Quick response time, amazing customer service! Our electrician Mikel was excellent and very professional. He was very knowledgeable and explained everything to where I could easily understand, and he told me what other options I would possibly have. Great service!
Davita Steed
The quality of his work was exceptional
We had an excellent experience with Zar Electric. Sabrina made the appointment and gave us a time frame for when Jamey would be here to upgrade our electric panels so we could run a portable generator. Jamey called when he was on his way and got here when he said he would. He was so knowledgeable, patient, and thorough. He had the parts needed and explained what he was going to do. When he was finished, he cleaned everything up and he did a "test run" to make sure we knew exactly what to do if we need to use the generator. The quality of his work was exceptional. Zar Electric is who we will call in the future and we recommend them for electrical service.
