Best Electricians in United States

Buckle up - long review incoming.

Had JDV out to do an estimate - Mike arrived promptly, was professional and courteous, and provided information throughout his time here. However, that is where the positive part ends.

After performing the estimate. Mike sat down with me and presented two packages - one for 16000 dollars and another for 3200. The lesser estimate was to replace outlets and replace expired hardwired smoke/CO detectors. These detectors go from anywhere between 40-55 dollars (retail, not wholesale) depending on the brand, with labor being roughly 1 hour to replace all necessary components (there were 8). JDV wanted 3200 Dollars to replace those and roughly 25 outlets (only 1 of those being GFI) inside of the home. This is a total of about 4 hours' worth of work (generously and assuming brittle wiring (which I likely have).

That was bad enough.

The higher (and considerably more insane) estimate - 16k - included a panel replacement - a 50-foot junction box run to replace an old fuse sub-panel, (5 breakers total) - run a grounding wire, and do the aforementioned work contained in the smaller estimate. He also noted, corrosion (nothing reaching the buss bar or any corrosion besides humidity (a flex seal fix) - and explained that I would need a new panel and new fireguard breakers.

Please keep in mind - an 80 slot 200 amp panel is 130 dollars at home depot (with standard GE breakers - which are fine of course). Additional breakers as needed are cheap and effective. Additionally, it is noted on the estimate that if any fireguard panels actually trip - it is roughly 400 dollars (per breaker!) for them to fix that issue. Using that math - JDV wanted roughly 8 THOUSAND dollars (conservative) in labor to perform the panel/breaker change)

He also pushed a whole house surge protector (I run UPS on all of my electronics already) - and their service plan which includes yearly inspections.

When I asked him to provide a breakdown for parts and labor - Mike explained that JDV does not provide that and that the estimates include cost of doing business, and of course their 3-year warranty (keep in mind most products serviced come with their own manufacturer's warranty. Please keep in mind that they only warranty their service (Ie. Actual work) for one year.

I believe my internal thought process was that I could BECOME an electrician AND perform the work for about the cost of the estimate. I believe what I actually asked is do people actually pay you those prices?

I have owned multiple houses and have has almost all of the work done described in the estimate on one property or another. I have never encountered an estimate even in the realm of what JDV quoted me. His reticence to break down the estimate further cemented my skepticism.

I am sure the work is top-notch based on reviews and how thorough the inspection was. I was floored by his pricing. I called another electrician with similarly strong reviews - and provided him with the breakdown of what JDV quoted me. For the SAME work minus the service plan or whole house surge protector - I was quoted a respectable 2300 dollars. Same warranty, same service window.

The moral of the story - ask for a breakdown of services, and please make sure you do your homework before agreeing to pay that type of pricing. There are much more reasonable estimates to be had.

This is my 2nd review of iTech. Again, a good experience. Responsive, professional, fast, and a fair price. I will continue to use their services and recommend them to my friends.

Fast response and great service. My Yelp message was responded to within a day and my call was returned immediately. Good communication, on time, and great work. We're very pleased with the two pendant lights  we had installed. The price was significantly less than other companies. This is a nice young professional worthy of your business.

We will be hiring him again for another project soon.

Highly recommended.

I read these people as zero I scheduled online through Yelp app the appointment was confirmed based on their timeline my husband stayed home from work today to meet these people and no one ever showed up no one ever called me this is poor business practices and we would not recommend this service to no one

I had an issue with one of my properties in port Richmond losing power in the kitchen and bathroom. We tried flipping the breakers off and on and that didn't work so needed a solution quick. I sent out a request on Yelp for electricians and Charles replied promptly. He offered emergency services to come out and troubleshoot at a reasonable rate (this was Friday night at 9pm) and mentioned if it could wait, it would be a lesser rate the next day. I decided on the next day and he offered me a generous time window. The next day he arrives half and hour early and texts me to give me a heads up and then he proceeds to work. In the end the voltage loss was due to wiring and he redid some of the wiring for a reasonable price. I was not at the property at the time but Charles gave me an option to view the invoice over email and make payment securely online. Overall I was thoroughly impressed with his response time and his ability to help me out when I was in a pickle without overcharging. Definitely will contact Charles again for future electric projects.

PG came out to restore power to our doorbell. They replaced the transformer quickly and without issue. They were right on time, professional, and did good work at a good price. Also good communication

I'd call them....amazing. The tech was very professional, knew exactly what to do, and completed the job. The cost was quite reasonable, as well. Our tech, Hector, arrived exactly when we were told. The team at Thomas Edison were really nice and easy to talk with. So, yeah, amazing.

Alex & his team are great.  They were very fair and reasonable to work with.  I highly recommended them to several friends who also thought they were great.  I've worked with many Central NJ electricians over the past 25 years.  This company is by far the best for any size project.

Service was fast and the electrician was knowledgeable and thorough in diagnosing and resolving several wiring issues in my older home.

I was happy with the work done by EP Electric; they were very responsive in December when I needed 2 outdoor outlets replaced. They came within a day of the request sent to several electricians.  While at my house I asked for an estimate to have some switches changed to dimmers. The next time I needed an electrician was to change out some light fixtures. Again, EP Electric was pretty responsive and available in my timeframe. Since I had used them before, I was comfortable having them come out. When that job was complete, I again discussed the dimmers I wanted and we discussed when I wanted to get the work done.  We are working on a schedule for this week and I think it will really add to the ambiance of my house. Looking forward to it.

I relied on the yelp reviews of this company as I needed an electrician and I haven't had the best of luck with past contractors. Married 2 Electric was awesome! Rod answered his phone right away when I called and the electrician Todd was on time, super helpful, knowledgeable and friendly! Issues fixed quickly and he was considerate and clean with his work. I will use them in the future and would recommend to anyone. Thank you!!

I had a great experience with Joel.  We had two separate jobs a week apart.  Both were done very well and he even saved me money with recommendations.  Joel is very pleasant to work with and I would definitely hire him again.

Found him through yelp. Owner came out to do a free look and sent me a typed estimate. One his employees came back on promised date and installed 2 ceiling fans and 2 light fixtures.  Owner sent me receipt and remained professional and polite even when i fussed at him about something that was not his or his tech's fault. (That alone would've earned him 5 stars!)
This is my first home and of all the people I've contacted for different repair/maintenance services he has been the most professional, least pushy and decently priced. I'm sure I'll use him again.

fabulous transaction from first call to completion.  appointment made with ease, serviceman prompt and knowledgable and price fair and honest for work completed.  will be my new electrician for years to come

I called Alba because issue with my electricity at my house. There's not enough power and our refrigerator short every day.
It's was very easy to schedule with Alba, the team came on time & figure the problem. They fixed it right away for fair price.
Highly recommended for this guys.
Thank you.

I called this company on a hot summer day when my tenant called me and told me her power went off.  I was running around town with my two kids, so in a hurry I decided to call the first company I saw on yelp. I really wish I had taken more time to look for a more reputable company.

First, be aware that this company has multiple listings for different locations all over the city. If you look at their other listings, you will see the many poor reviews that they have received.

I received multiple phone calls from different people after my initial service request. They repeatedly told me that there is a $165 charge for emergency dispatch, and that once they do an inspection, they will let me know what the cost of the actual work will be. When the technician got to the house, a guy named Steven Miller called me and said he wanted me to pay the dispatch fee upfront before anything is done.  He then sent me an email to get my written authorization to charge the credit card. All of this seemed a bit odd to me... the multiple phone calls, the written authorization, the fee up front... but I didn't think too much of it and just proceeded.

About 10 minutes after I paid for the dispatch fee, Steve calls me back with his technician on the phone to tell me that they have to charge me another fee for the diagnostic. I told them that my understanding was after spending $165 they would be able to tell me what's wrong and give me an estimate on the cost of the work. He then proceeded to repeat everything that he and another one of his employees had already told me over the phone multiple times. I told him that I did not feel comfortable proceeding forward and that I was going to call around to see if other companies have similar practices. He then had his other employee (a woman with a courteous voice) call me to try to reason with me. I told her again that I was going to call around and if this is common practice, then that's fine, but if not then I will be leaving a long review for them.

I got off the phone with the woman and called another local electrician. This man was honest, prompt and straightforward. He came out within half hour and fixed the problem for me under 10 minutes and charged me a third of what Thomas Edison had quoted me for simply coming out and finding out what the problem is (not including any work done).

Needless to say, I will be sticking with my honest electrician from now on. Steve did call me again to tell me that he would not charge me the $165 as a courtesy to make me happy. I thought for a second about not leaving a bad review, but I decided that I cannot let this company get away with unethical practice. This company needs to know that people are not stupid and this kind of bait and switch business practice will only backfire. Simple honesty, trustworthiness and respect for people is the way to go.
