Long overdue review. Apollo rewired our house in 2022 and did an outstanding job - efficient, fast and at a reasonable price for the scope of work. Showed up on time and finished within estimated timeframe. We received several quotes to rewire our house and many of the contractors proposed simply cutting much of our drywall above the baseboards for easy access to wiring and one suggested even moving out of the house while work was done. Ted and Luis were able to do the full rewire with minimal drywall cutting (4 small areas in all) and no disruption to our electricity when we needed it mornings and evenings. Cannot recommend highly enough. read more

Ted and his crew were really great to work with. Ted is quite responsive over email and very helpful to explain the details of what was needed in order to complete the EV charger installation. His crew is friendly, efficient and neat. The whole thing was completed in a surprisingly few number of hours, which is helpful when the power is out. The end result is super clean and works great! read more

Apollo TB Electric - Installed Tesla wall charger - Electricians Near Me - San jose, California

I had several recessed lights, a ceiling fan, a outdoor Ring light and some CFL fixture replacements done by Apollo electric.

This is the second time I have used Apollo Electric and once again I was very impressed with Ted and his work. He was able to make an appointment for me within a few days of my call, he showed up a few minutes early and completed the job in less time than he estimated. He explained how the new fixtures worked and could be adjusted and made sure I was satisfied with everything before he left. He did such a nice job of cleaning up I couldn't even tell a contractor had been there. Outstanding job overall and I highly recommend Ted of Apollo Electric. read more

Ted helped us with several projects in our home. He had great suggestions and was a pleasure to work with. He was always responsive to our communications between visits, was on time, professional, did good work, and had a positive attitude every time I saw him. I highly recommend him and would happily hire him again. read more

Apollo Electric owner Ted and his crew and have been consistently amazing and I cannot recommend them more highly. They installed home charging station for my EV, installed a wall a/c unit, troubleshooted on the weekend an electrical issue I was having and most recently installed a new electrical panel. Managed the whole process for getting panel installed, including permits and dealing with PG&E and completed work within a week. Fair, honest, reliable and highest quality work! read more

I'd give Ted and Apollo 6 stars if I could. Ted runs a super responsive, honest and highly professional business. Apollo installed our EV charging station and I couldn't have been more pleased with Ted throughout the process. I would definitely recommend Ted to anyone looking for electrical work. read more

Another top of the line performance from Mr Ted the owner and his super crew. This is my 3rd Yelp review update for the same company, same owner and same macho-man!! I have worked with Apollo TB Electric back in September 2017 w.r.t the EV charger installation for my electric BOLT along with San Jose City inspector permit process etc. This time Ted + crew has done an electrical work for our Hills Dental Group San Jose (Practice of Dr. Rachana Vyas, DDS) in regards to installation of New 20 amp / 208V dedicated circuit along with installation of brand new Quad-breaker followed by configuration of 2 - NEMA 6-20 receptacles which got serviced by the 2 - 20 amp / 240V circuits. This help us to now move on from single vacuum pump (for suction unit) and upgraded to Dual Head Vaccum unit to support all the 4 Dental Chair Operatories with adequate vacuum PSI in each of the chair unit!!! Ted also helped to installed the 3 - 18/3 low voltage wires from equipment area to interior panel board switches to control the vacuum, water and compressor accessories. There's absolutely Ted is super-duper Eco-friendly, Technically Knowledgeable, A good thinker, listener and problem solving attitude type personality. Ted is very disciplined with his timeline, professional business work ethics, punctuality, communication etc. You name it, Ted has everything one could ask for more!! Plus, his quality of job is simply outstanding, fantastic and impeccable with no mess left out after complete wrap up. It's a pleasure and honor to work with Ted and I can't think off any one else and strongly recommend Ted and Apollo TB Electric for your low, medium and high voltage electric needs!! read more

Ted & his crew saved us from an unsafe electrical situation left by a solar company. They installed a new mast, new main panels, new subpanels, afci breakers, and fixed some illegal circuits left by the solar guys. They were on the job for about 7 days, so I really got to know them. They are professional, honest, and do excellent work. I actually crawled and went up in the attic to double check everything myself and found no issues. The city inspector gave Ted a very hard time, but Ted kept his cool and we passed all inspections the first time. I highly recommend working with Ted and crew! read more

See all

So grateful for the same-day service to diagnose and fix our blown circuit. The terrific technicians listened to my explanation of the problem and then went to work evaluating the situation. Before too long they had discovered the problem. They explained it to me, showed me the faulty wiring, and fixed it right away and reassured me that we are now safe. Professional, friendly, masked & gloved, and were careful to maintain distance. Highly recommended! read more

I wanted to get 240V electric circuits for an ev charger and other european appliances. Ted came out and scope the work while I dealt with him remotely from overseas. Charged me 120 bucks for an estimate and coming out that was significantly higher than other contractors and the one I chose to do the work. In todays world to be charged for an estimate seems out of line. While Apollo appears to do good work from other reviews the policy of charging customers for estimates needs to change read more

Ted has done two jobs for me now - one planned Tesla charger installation, and another unplanned issue with my electrical panel. In both instances, Ted went above and beyond in his work. We had issues getting a permit due to an expired (and unrelated) permit on the house. Ted helped to get all the paperwork from the city to provide to me so that I could figure out which permit it was in order to get it resolved. He also did a quick and very clean installation of the Tesla charger and 2 years later, everything is working smoothly. Recently, Ted managed to find time in his busy schedule right before the holidays to come out and help with an electrical panel problem resulting in no power to some kitchen outlets. Ted quickly found the problem, and worked his very busy schedule to come help me the next day. While he was there, he also kindly helped install a transformer for my ring doorbell. I would highly recommend Ted for any electrical work and am very thankful to have found a great and trustworthy electrician! read more

Ted's techs Luis and Jordan came my home and installed Tesla Wall Connector this morning. It is an amazing job!! The job took 3.5 hrs (started 9AM and finished 12:30). For my case, they have to wrap surface mount conduit all the way from my deep backyard and then across the front to get to the charging location. It requires a pretty long and winding conduit. But Luis and Jordan laid it out beautiful and efficiency. I am impressed by their and job. Will definitely hire them again. BTW, Ted replied emails in a timely manner, easy to communicate! read more

The BEST ELECTRICIAN EVER!!! We had an electrical fire in our house last night in our dining area. The FD came out and made sure everything was safe. I emailed Ted at 12:30am and he responded so quickly. I called him around 9am this morning and he was at our house by 10:30am. Found out later that he worked us in while doing another job, talk about AMAZING service! We also needed someone to repair drywall for us and I happen to ask Ted to see if he knew anyone and he was able to work another miracle for us and his amazing guy Lee from Specialty Textures (which I will also be doing a review for) was able to come out today and patch up everything! It looks as if nothing ever happened. I can't thank Ted enough for coming out to us as quickly as he did. Everyone else told me they were too busy until January 2018. Now we are able to have our Christmas party with our family tomorrow as scheduled all because of Ted. Thank you again so very much Ted. You truly are our angel! read more

Ted installed a NEMA 14-50 outlet for us. Fantastic experience

Ted was prompt in his response, they came in with all the equipment needed and finished the tesla charger installation and inspection in one day. The work was clean and they paid attention to every small detail to do the perfect job. I will highly recommend Ted and his team and I'm planning to use them for future electrical work around the house. read more

I had contacted at least 10 contractors. Apollo Electric is the one I feel I can trust. Ted is very responsive. He answered all my questions with patience. He is very knowledgeable. I feel comfortable to let him to install my Tesla EV charger. His estimate is also reasonable too. I highly recommend this company. read more

Great experience-Ted was excellent about communicating everything and was very knowledgeable . They were punctual, timely, professional and did a great job installing a new electrical switchboard in our condo at a reasonable price, and did some smaller jobs at the same time. Would hire again for sure read more

My friend recommended Apollo Electric and I was very impressed. Ted was very quick in responding to my call for an upgraded electrical panel for solar panels. He even worked on a Saturday morning. He and his crew did an outstanding job in record time. They were nice to work with and very professional. I would highly recommend this company! read more

Ted quickly responded my call. Scheduled the same day installation. Ted's crew came on time, inspected the house and garage, installed my Tesla charger fast with good quality. I have many questions about the installation process and the guy explained them with great patience and knowledge. In the end the guy also did a good cleanup before leaving. I am very happy with the end result and the service. read more

My living room lights stopped working, and despite his being totally slammed, Ted responded promptly to my queries and sent a crew out a couple of times in between other jobs to diagnose and fix the problem (dead transformer). Excellent customer service...I will definitely be contacting Apollo Electric for future jobs! read more

My wife and I decided to have recess lighting throughout our place and gave Ted a call. He responded very fast, came to our place to take a look and the next day already send us a quote. We decided to go ahead with it and we are so happy and excited with our decision and from the amazing service we got from Ted and he's crew. It clearly shows that he takes great pride in his work, a great communicator and solid great guy! I would highly recommend his services to anyone needing electrical work and would definitely use him again in the future. Thanks again Ted! read more

I love Ted. He did extensive work for me on a rental home in Los Gatos a couple of years ago. Honest, prompt and handled the permitting and inspectors. Tonight I contacted him about another problem at a different property. His advice over the phone was spot on and prevented an expensive call out. PGE guy said "Keep that electrician, most would have just come out to charge you and then we would have needed to do the repairs anyway." read more

Great work! Highly recommended. Gave me quote over email, answered all of my follow-up questions promptly. Showed up at scheduled appointment on time. Performed the work agreed to perfectly. Will certainly use again for any future electrical needs. read more

Ted from Apollo Electric was incredibly helpful from the initial quote process to the final inspection of my new EV charging station installation in my home garage. He is knowledgeable about the pros and cons of each system and explains each option to you in easy to understand language. What made him stand out from other electricians was his detailed email responses to each of my questions. He has upfront pricing that was the most affordable among the quotes that I received. He will send a quote after you send pictures of your circuit breaker and electrical panel. For those looking to install EV Chargers, the charge point home flex was recommended due to its quality. You have a couple options to choose from: hardwired or new electrical outlet with the charger being plugged in. There are pros and cons to both but we ended up going with the hardwire option. read more

I hired Ted at Apollo ran new electrical service fr my house to my detached garage,/man cave. He wired the entire structure including, coax, cat 5, installed all outlets, in ceiling speakers, flat panel tv, inside/outside fixtures, electrical panel network panel and more. He also arranged for a team to dig a trench to code from house to garage to lay all cables underground on short notice. Ted is completely trustworthy and a great guy. His bid was corruptive and there were no surprises. I would rewind h to anyone for any electrical need. read more

I contacted Apollo about installing an outlet to charge my car - they showed up right on time, we're super friendly, explained a bit about how my house electrical system worked and installed the outlet in 15 minutes. I'll definitely have them out again for electrical work. read more

Ok, so I didn't hire Apollo Electric for what ended up being a minor electric problem with some outlets. I reached out for an estimate and Ted (the owner) suggested something to do before him and/or his team come out. That suggestion ended up working. That alone is worth this 5 star review and I won't hesitate to contact Apollo right away for when *knock on wood* other Electrical problems come up. read more

Ted and his crew are top notch. Showed up on time, completed the EV charger installation within a few hours. Very clean, professional and organized. The best part is the pre and post response time to any and all queries and questions I had. Highly recommended. read more

After buying our house, we contracted Ted to perform various upgrades to the electrical system including a panel replacement, 200A service upgrade, selective outlet grounding, and installation of new circuits for a treadmill and EV charger. The project became larger when, after we had had some drywall opened to install a gas line to the stove, Ted noticed some dangerously out-of-code (and clearly unpermitted) electrical work that had been done during a kitchen remodel by the previous owners. This was in such bad shape that Ted inadvertently demonstrated its severity when he caused an arc flash by merely tapping a wire with a pencil when pointing out the problem area to us. So we had Ted re-wire the kitchen to code as well, which he did, installing separate circuits for major appliances, and generally leaving us much more at ease that our kitchen was no longer an electrical fire hazard. On account of the unanticipated scope growth of the project, when Ted encountered smaller safety issues elsewhere during the course of the project, he fixed them for free or at a deep discount from what the normal price would have been. Ted handled coordination with PG&E and pulling permits with the city. All of his work passed inspection on the first attempt. He was able to adjust his schedule to ensure that his work did not interfere with other work being done simultaneously (e.g. to the HVAC system and flooring). During the entire project, he was extremely responsive by both phone and e-mail, and was willing and able to discuss our requirements at length and to clearly explain our options and their tradeoffs (e.g. for using GFCI breakers and a surge arrestor in the panel). Overall, of all the work we have had done on our new house, Ted was by far the most pleasant contractor to work with, and I would recommend him to anyone. read more

Most resourceful and pragmatic of the few I talked to when trying to add a new EV charging outlet. Job is done promptly and without issues. Highly recommend. read more

Ted was responsive to my yelp request and communicated effectively about the job. He provided honest and competitive bid for the job. The job was finished with quality and on a timely manner. I would recommend Ted to my friends and for my future Electrician needs. read more

Ted and Luis were on time (unpacked and at the door exactly at 8:15.) They were friendly, professional, knowledgable, fast, and clean. I had 2 bedrooms we needed to convert from switched socket to ceiling lights, and replaced a motion sensing light with a ring camera. The security light had to be relocated but they took care of everything easily with the parts at hand. These guys are the real deal. I highly recommend them! read more

I could not be happier with my experience using Ted and his team from Apollo Electric. He installed a new Tesla wall charger in my garage. His bid was fair, he always showed up on time and the work was completed perfectly. I will definitely use Apollo electric again and would recommend him highly to anyone looking for an honest and skilled electrician. I am a very particular person so this review is well earned. read more

Ted is very knowledgeable and gives you the correct diagnosis and a fair price and excellent quality work. I am an electrical engineer and I would know if he were trying to inflate the job. read more

I needed to replace my very old electrical panel and get an EV charging outlet installed in my garage. Ted and his crew did a great job. Ted is pleasant, straightforward and easy to communicate with, as well as quick in responding to questions. The job was completed on time and on budget. I highly recommend Apollo Electric. read more

I called Ted for electrical problems in my home. I suddenly lost a third of my house's electricity. He trouble shot the problem areas and explained as he went. He was personable, professional, and pleasure to work with. I highly recommend him and his company and would would not hesitate to recommend or use him again. read more
