Emmett responded to our call last night when our vacuum triggered a partial power outage. We explained the situation and he said he could come by today in the early morning and assured us he'd help us fix the problem. We were super grateful that he came by on time at 8am, and he helped us find a temporary fix for a larger issue. He gave us a reasonable quote for the larger issue and we'll be reaching out for him to come by again in the next couple of weeks. Emmett was thorough in diagnosing the problem and explained to us exactly what was going on and what he was doing. He's also very friendly, punctual and was available on a Sunday. For all of that, I'd definitely recommend him! read more

I used Zediker Electric to hang a heavy ceiling light fixture. Emmett was very responsive, knowledgeable, professional, and helped me test a few different lengths from the ceiling to make sure I liked the result. I'd call Zediker Electric again for future projects! read more

Emmett is my HERO!! He came to my home 30 minutes after me calling him, finding the problem immediately. Problem solved. He saved me from the "Vulture" plumbers the were out to make money and wouldn't have eliminated the problem I was having with my water heater. Thank You sooo much Mr. Z read more

This dude is a perfectionist. Everything he installed was absolutely to code and beyond. And he is cute as a button and funny as heck. You will be very happy with his work. We were for sure. Excellent service! read more

Emmett put in a plug in the attic so we could install a Tankless water heater. We called several electricians in the area and he was the only one to respond, and he was will to come within the week we needed. He did a great job and made a very good suggestion for our lighting needs in the attic as well. He was great to work with and we enjoyed joking around with him. We're looking forward to have him back for several other electrical jobs around the house. read more

High recommendation. After our power went out and came back on, our master bath power was not working (the lights, the fan and the outlets). After reseting the breaker, the power was still out so I reached out to Zediker with the thought that the master bath breaker must need replacing. Emmett called me, asked a few questions and wondered if I'd reset the GFCI outlet in the bathroom. I told him no, because all the power is out, not just one single plug. He let me know that some electricians will run all the power through that single GFCI outlet (news to me) for the entire room. Low and behold, he was right and reseting the one outlet brought back power to the entire room. He was so informative and helpful, I'm almost looking forward to a real electrical issue as Zediker Electric will be my first call. read more

Emmett is the absolute BEST! Very friendly, reliable, and responsive. I thoroughly enjoy working with him and will be using him for all my electrical needs. I highly recommend! read more

extremely poor communication skills Emmett will schedule an appointment and not even show up or even call to let you know what is happening. I call him. he said he would come do the job later in the day, again no show and no call from him. i should have called someone else at this point but he says he is just finishing a job and will call back in 10minutes to let me know his status. Again, Emmett did not call. meanwhile no electricity. ANOTHER 2 HOURS GO BY and still no call. Emmett blew me off but strung me along as well. how does he do business like this? Zero human decency. I can't speak for his skills as an electrician, because he is a no show, but he can't even make a simple phone call. Find someone else is my advice. read more

After an acquaintance's apartment caught on fire due to faulty wiring, I thought it would be a good idea to have my house checked out by a pro just in case. It has been a while anyway. Emmett came by and took a look at what was needed. He offered various options on how we could proceed. He did suggest that i replace my circuit breaker and the conduit on top of my house. He also brought up a much larger job of rewiring my 70 year old house (not sure when the last rewiring was), but wasn't pushy on it saying it was still safe to use. Since these were both fairly expensive jobs, I discussed it with my friends and family, and when they all agreed about the dangers of having a rusty circuit box, I decided to go for it. Communication with Emmett was easy and prompt. He made his work clear for me to understand and what to expect. He worked for a better part of a day on my house and it looks great! I'm very glad I went with Zediker and will consider him again if I decide to rewire the house or any other electrical jobs. read more

Can't say enough about Emmett Z. He was recommended by Paradise Valley Spas (biggest dealer in the Bay Area). Very professional, friendly and very reasonable price. He wired up a 240v and cut-off breaker box for my new Sundance hot tub. All prep work done a month in advance, he came when he promised, hot tub delivered on Mon, he insisted on connecting it the next morning, so GF and I can enjoy the tub asap... ;) Highly recommend.

Emmet at Zediker Electric was very friendly to work with and offered great work for good value.

When "Emmett " came out he had another person with him that he appeared to be training. He was here for only a matter of minutes. Told my husband that the lights in the backyard was tripping the switch and the smell we smelled inside the house was from too many air fresheners and they were competing with the ozone...really! Come to find out, one of our ceiling fans had gone out; the motor burned up and was very well caused by y the wiring. A total waste of time and money. What a joke! read more

Thank you. Awesome! Trustworthy. Competent. Great communicator. Straightforward answers. Logical responses. Woohoo!

There does not seem to be a way to delete a review I wrote or to add an addendum, which is too bad. Mr. Zediker called me this morning and he has experienced a terrible family tragedy associated with the California fires. He rushed off to attend to that issue and that is why he was unreachable for two weeks. read more

I've gone through several electricians that have turned out to be difficult, incompetent, outrageously expensive, and/or unreliable. But now -- I have THE BEST electrician. He's responsive, knowledgable, reliable, and an overall good guy. Trust me. . . Emmett is great. read more

What a delightful experience! Emmet went over for an outlet repair (he had to redo my failed attempt), within 45 minutes of my call. He was extremely professional, responsive, and even explained what I had done wrong. Plus he was super friendly and easy to work with. Will definitely be calling him again! read more

Installed electric vehicle charger, 240v switch, and replaced a few lights/switches in the house. Was a pleasure to work with from start to finish, and was meticulous in his work. Good communication via email and text. Arrived when he said he would, did the job and shared some good humor along the way. Fully recommend. read more

3 years after the last big job, we had Emmett back again for a mini job a couple weeks ago. He arrived for an estimate, and checked out the home depot fixture I purchased. He convinced me to get rid of it, and get another high quality fixture. (Our original RH fixture had been destroyed when our home was wrecked in a flood not long after his last job. Emmett's work was literally all that remained after the flood waters cleared.) So after putting in a shitty Home Depot piece in our rebuild, we got about 6 mos of use out of it. I called Emmett to come fix it, and he said no.You gotta love an electrician who comes correct. So we followed his advice, and ordered a cool fixture for a crap-ton of $, and he came back straight away to fix it up. It cost a mere $100, and he and his protegee did a kick ass job as always. We love Emmett Ziedeker. Added Plus: He is still a kilt fan. read more

I am the property manager of an apartment building in Oakland. Needed a new electrician since our electrician we had retired. Was referred to Zediker Electric by Happy Handyman, the handyman company we use. Zediker Electric, got the job done! Was able to make an appointment for the same week I called. Had to have a ceiling light and the light switch replaced, as well as an outlet for the oven for one of the tenants. Was able to get the job done in a timely manner. Zediker Electric was reasonably priced, punctual, friendly and explained everything clearly. I'm so happy we have an electrician that I can now recommend. read more

I called Emmett Zediker this morning for an emergency repair. He said he would be at my house by 1 or 2pm. He showed up at 12:45pm and fixed my problem with a smile and enthusiasm rarely found in the trades. He actually said, "I love my job" once he diagnosed the problem. He is quite possibly the sweetest electrician I've ever met. I recommend him highly. I called another electrician early this morning and they never got back to me. Emmett is responsive, knowledgeable, and very kind! He's someone you want on speed-dial! read more

Emmett has been amazing! From the Friday evening when he dropped by our newly purchased home to give my wife and me an estimate to when we came home this afternoon to find all the electric work completed, we have had the best possible experience with him and his team. When he dropped by after a full day of work to provide us an estimate, Emmett went over our needs and wants in great detail, and gave us the information we needed to better make an informed decision about what work needed to be prioritized. He also didn't nickel and dime us based on each and every outlet and switch being updated or replaced, simply giving us a fair, flat fee. After meeting with two contractors who provided us with some oddball estimates and then consulting with a friend who gave us a better idea of what to ask for and what to expect to pay, Emmet was a breath of fresh air. He also has a very friendly and personable demeanor, and really made us feel comfortable and at ease. We ended up deciding to replace our outdated main and sub panel, to have four GFCI outlets installed, four grounded outlets installed throughout the house and the rest of the outlets and switches replaced. In addition, Emmett and his team discovered that our range would need an updated circuit when the first day's work was complete. Work started yesterday (a Saturday), first thing in the morning and continued through today. Not only was his team willing to work on a weekend, but they were able to complete all of the work, including the extra item for the range, in less time than originally estimated. We came home this afternoon to find all of the work done, and looking great! We still have future electric work to be done, since we're working with a budget, but everything that has been done has been first class work and we'll be contacting Emmett again the next time we have work to be done. Also, I've seen a couple of reviews about Emmett not showing or being difficult to contact. For me, this was never an issue. As I mentioned before, he went out of his way to keep our Friday night appointment after already putting in a full day of work. He was up front about running late because the job he had was running over. I think the first time I called, I did get his voice mail, which was full, but he called me back at the number that came up within five minutes. Every other time I've called he's been available, and he and his crew were on time and ready to go first thing in the morning. read more

When the road paving crew knocked down our electric line, we needed some repairs to get re-connected. Called Emmett in the evening, and he was able to start work the next morning, get all the necessary permits, and get the inspector out all in one day. The current was flowing by the time we got home from work. Nothing short of miraculous. Oh, and he's very personable, and seems fair and honest. Highly recommended! read more

I spoke to Emmet on the phone about an issue that I was not sure was my dishwasher or my circuit/ outlet. After asking me some pertinent questions Emmet suggested that problem is probably my dishwasher and he did not want to charge me $90 for a service call to tell me the same thing. I appreciated this. I have definitely had service providers charge me for a visit and tell me there was nothing they could do for me. This kind of honest approach will have me going back to Emmet when we have electrical needs in the future. a follow up note*** Emmet contacted me a few weeks later to ask if my issue was resolved and I was happy to tell him that he was right. It was a issue with a wire in our dishwasher that only the trained Bosch folks could address. I appreciated not having to pay him 90$ to tell me the same thing plus the additional fee to the Bosch guys to get it fixed. I appreciated his genuine concern and his follow up and I will definitely be calling him when the need arises! read more

Walked me through the issue on the phone and didn't charge anything. Took at least 5 minutes of his time. Great company. Honest & ethical. Highly recommend. read more

Zediker Electric is the best electrician I have run across - bar none. And, trust me, I've had my share of electricians. I've always lived/own older homes - which translates into electrical problems. Emmett was accessible, reliable, friendly, reasonable and smart! It took him less than 15 minutes to diagnose what another unnamed electrician could not figure out. He also pointed out some other problem areas, which in turn, saved me big trouble down the road. Emmett rocks!! read more

Emmett Zediker is the man. I was re-purposing a 220 dryer outlet for use with a 220 table saw. There's a world of crazy plug shapes when you move to 220. I had nearly made my adapter cord when I realized I didn't know for certain which prong had to be wired to which. He gave me the advice I needed instantly by phone, plus additional safety 'gotchas' to avoid. When I asked how much I could pay him for his time and expertise, he just laughed and said "write me a Yelp review." Well, I just plugged in and powered up. Problem-free the first time, thanks to E. Zediker. I'm back in the table saw business. This is the guy to go to. read more

Emmett has installed appliances for me several times now. Absolutely no complaints here. He is always friendly, reliable, and he really knows his stuff. I trust Emmett because I know he's a licensed electrician and his work just speaks for itself. A lot of homeowners nowadays think that cheaper is better. Don't get stuck with shoddy work because some sketchy electrician charges less. Go with someone who is accredited like Emmett. It will save you a lot of trouble in the end! read more

If zero stars were available that's what they'd get! Called to make an appointment for my kitchen light fixture to be switched out...Spoke with him, he was to call me back (Emmit) he never called! Thumbs down! Oh and I got my fixture changed! read more

We used Emmett for a relatively small electrical job and he treated us very well. He communicated clearly what his approach was going to be and how much it would cost. He was timely and professional and his work was top notch. He does view his work as art so he cares about the aesthetics of how his work looks. His sense of humor is icing on the cake. I highly recommend Emmett of Zediker Electric! read more

As a high-end interior design professional, I carefully choose the vendors with whom I work on projects. My team loves Emmett. Emmett is that rare breed of electrician who is also a very skilled lighting designer. He views his profession as a form of art. He is passionate and excited about light. Plus his quirky sense of humor makes the work fun. In the short time I've known him I've already had him involved on half-a-dozen projects. Our clients love having him around and he always delivers -- with a cherry on top. read more

I did not hire Emmet because it took over 2 weeks for him to give me the estimate, and I already awarded the work to someone else, but I was impressed with his professionalism and honesty when he came over to my house to review the job. He provided options and indicated what would be the lowest cost, and gave advice about what kind of equipment to purchase. His estimate was reasonable, unforunately a little too late. I guess I caught him when he was really busy. He was apologetic and offered to free up time for me. I would consider using him in the future. read more

My power went out in my kitchen. Called Emmett Zediker and made appointment for the next day. He showed up on time, told me he was COVID 19 free. then went right to work. He checked the fuse box and tightened a screw, then went into kitchen to check outlets, and they were now working. He went under house to check heater and put the cover back on and it worked. He fix my problem in less than 15 minutes. He was very professional. Knows electronic, and he will be the person I call for any future electrical problems. If you need a electrician give him a call, you won't be sorry. read more

i had a machine with a cord that needed to be adjusted to fit my dryer outlet. i called Emmett Zediker and he was at my house within the hour on a Saturday morning.

Emmitt is a fabulous electrician. Our panel box was old and about to catch on fire. Emmit came quickly and resolved the problem in one day. There may be other electrician that are a little less expensive, but the quality is not there. There's a say, you get what you pay for. If you are looking for a good electrician, call Emmitt. He'll get the job done quickly and accurately. read more

Emmett of Zediker Electric is both professional, knowledgable and very respectful of your home. He came to hang a ridiculously heavy (more than 80lb) chandelier in our home and I had deliberately wanted to hire an experienced licensed and bonded professional - I wasn't disappointed! He's honest and morally conscious and was a pleasure to work with. read more

great job, great price, great attitude. i DIY'ed most of the job and he did the service hook up. couldn't be more pleased. read more
