Beyond 5 stars all around! Ted, the owner, is very professional and responsive and his guys could not be more professional or polite. Quality of work is excellent, price is fair and they follow COVID guidelines strictly.
Description of Work: Ted and his crew installed an electric vehicle charging station at my house and also a custom light fixture that ended up having a very tricky installation.

Ted was awesome! I would hire him again in a heart beat. In fact, I've already recommended him to some friends who need some electrical work done on their house.

Apollo Electric is a great company. Came out and scoped out the job and made some very nice money saving suggestions before hand. Day of the job they were onetime With a crew of 3. Unpacked all their equipment finished the entire job and packed and cleaned up in under 3 hours. They even gave me some suggestions about wiring and box placement. I would check these guys out. Great service, great suggestions and very friendly.

Ted quickly recognized that it was not a problem he could address.He strongly recommended that PGE come out to review. It saved me a Sunday call out for him and a large bill. I appreciate his willingness to diagnose and save me time and money. The PGE rep commended him for not just "collecting a service call".

Very professional. Prompt responses to all my questions both in person and over email. Electrician arrived on time for both the circuit installation as well as meeting with the city inspector for permit sign off on the follow-up appointment. Installation work was very clean and neat since I am very keen on attention to detail. Highly recommend!

It was a great job. I have used Ted with Apollo Electric before and both jobs went well. He was able to make an appointment quickly and showed up a few a minutes early. The job went well, he cleaned up the areas after he finished and made sure I understood how to operate and adjust settings on the automatic lights. I highly recommend Ted and Apollo Electric and I will use him again in the future He's very honest, easy to work with and very professional.

Apollo responded quickly to a quote request. I described the job, provided some photos, and they were able to quote without a visit to the house, which was much appreciated. We scheduled the work for the next week. The communication during this period was very fast and smooth. The electricians arrived on time, we're very polite and professional, we reviewed the job once more, they completed the work, confirming with me the final location of new receptical before cutting started, and before I knew it the work was done. They cleaned up, we did final review of completed job, explanation of what to do in case there are questions or issues, invoice, out the door. Quite painless from end to end and I couldn't be more satisfied. Will hire again, absolutely.

Ted and his crew were prompt, professional and got the job done in the time estimated. They understand how to deal with permitting, inspections and scheduling each step in the process. Specifically, Ted is very familiar with local nuances in each city, related to inspections. My house, being an older structure with older wiring and an oddly placed riser pole, was not a straight forward project, but it was no problem for the crew. They completed the work as planned, kept a clean job site and were very courteous throughout the project. I was very pleased with the work done by the Apollo and would hire them again and highly recommend them to others.

Ted did an excellent job installing a long 60A/240V line (6 gauge) from the house panel to our detached garage with a 60A disconnect ending in a Tesla Wall Connector. Communication through email worked perfectly, he was always on time, was thorough, used quality materials, worked efficiently, left the area clean, lined up the inspection, and charged a very reasonable fee compared to two other bids. I give my highest recommendation.

Ted came to my home to provide a quote for a panel upgrade and a sub-panel run to the garage. He was very knowledgeable andprofessional and spent quite some time brainstorming with me on how best to handle my project. The estimate I received from Apollo was very competitive but I ultimately decided to contract with another electrician. Overall, my experience with Apollo was fantastic and I would definitely consider Apollo again for future projects.

We mutually agreed that we could not work together. I received a prompt refund from Angie's List.
Description of Work: a porch light replaced and some security cameras installed. The business claimed that two electricians working for two hours would not have enough time to do the job. I don't believe that. I think they thought I would be getting a tremendous bargain at $169. They later listed their services at quadruple that amount.
