Best Electricians in United States

JDog was a true Godsend. On the heels of a terrible moving experience, I called JDog to help me reassemble some furniture. Buck was so accommodating, he moved some things around on the schedule and had a guy at my apartment in a half hour! In 90 minutes, Matt assembled my son's bed (a loft with a slide-not easy!), our king size platform bed frame and hung a huge mirror. He was polite but got the job done swiftly and professionally. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Happy to support our servicemen and women!

Total waste of time. I rescheduled work obligations to meet owner at my house for an estimate. He showed up -- nice enough man, but unfortunately never followed up with my estimate (said he would email me with it that weekend). I waited a week (figured everyone is busy) and called back. Left a message, which was never returned. If you don't want the work, please be up front. We all have stuff to do and you wasted my time, and apparently yours as well. Would not recommend.

After a wireless switch in my home failed, and having been stood up twice by other electricians, I called Street Bros after seeing the great reviews.  Eric, the electrician, was quite courteous, efficient, and clear in his explanation of my electrical issue- which turned out to be a finicky switch.  It helps that SB's methodology for pricing (time & materials basis) was explained to me before I scheduled to have Eric come out.  Should I have troubles in the future, Street Bros will be the company I call first.

On Sept 21st  2022, we entered into a contractual agreement with Grounded Electric LLC (HIC # PA168075)  for renovations. We paid $18,000.00 by bank transfer (40% of total contract!) in a deposit as stipulated in the contract for services to total $50,000.00 by project completion.  Thomas Bush, the company's representative, stated that he attempted to obtain a permit from the City of Philadelphia but was unable to do so due to a lack of proper insurance coverage on his part. No work has been completed or started. This company initially said they were licensed and we checked their license with the state of PA and insurance as verification. However, when Thomas Bush applied for a permit with the City of Philadelphia, he was unable to provide the appropriate documentation (scope of work and insurance requirements) to secure a Philadelphia permit or license. He stated that the cost of the required insurance is not worth it for his business. More than three weeks after payment, on 10/15/2022 Thomas Bush stated he would refund the total amount of $18,000.00 back to us by 10/17/2022. We requested certified funds and tracking but after this request Thomas decided to send a personal check in an open window envelope via regular mail on 10/18/22. In quotes is direct communication with Thomas after asking him to send the refund via electronic or expedited means: Since it's not possible to issue the refund via methods it was received it's at my discretion how to issue the refund. I will mail a check with the full amount $18,000 to address listed below today via standard mail. This is the best I can do at this point in time. Consider my response a token a good faith that it's on the way, I could've gone silent and left you in the dark. Sorry again. How do you think we feel, waiting on an $18K personal check via snail mail in an open window envelope with no tracking after stating he could have gone dark? Hopefully the check arrives in a timely fashion and the personal check does not bounce.

I took a chance with Yelp to find a contractor after the four referred by friends couldn't come to our works for at least 3 months. We usually reserve this kind of work for people we know or recommended by people we trust. So, I was a little skeptical about how it would turn out.

Michael definitely delivered. He showed up the next day to give a quote, sent me a quote a couple of days later, and then started the job two weeks from my initial inquiry. So the first part of this review is that he showed up in a timely manner, which was something 4 other people failed to do.

He worked on our basement drywall after we had a flood. He replaced the bottom half of what was cut out, put in trim, and painted. He also built us a wall split up the giant space. It all turned out really well and I couldn't be more happy with it.

My only complaint, but not enough to lower my stars, was that due to our basement set up, all the spackling sanding ended up on our first floor (there's no door down to the basement). It was everywhere. If you'll have this same issue, I'd recommend putting up some sort of plastic barrier.

If you need drywall repair, give Michael a call! He also accepts Venmo, which was a plus for us.

Electrical Plus has proven to be a great contractor over the last 2 years that I have used them. From emergencies to upgrading my lighting in my showroom they are my contractor of choice. Everyone is friendly, professional and knowledgeable.

I haven't had a need for an electrical contractor yet but when I do I will Call Light Source. I just moved into my home in Somerdale, NJ and today, April 13, 2020, I get a ring at my door. A guy tells me that a branch had fallen from a tree and my phone wire had fallen. He then gets a ladder from his truck and secures the wire back to the house. I offered compensation for his efforts but he refused. Just goes to remind us all that there are good people everywhere. Thank you Light Source for hiring people with character.

Jeff came out to our house to perform a free estimate. He took a look around for 15 minutes, then informed my husband that it was just the breaker and that he had fixed it right there and then. He said he'd send a bill, which we figured was fair enough since the problem was fixed, after all. He never indicated a price to either of us before or after the service and we never agreed to any price because none was ever given to us.

A few days later we were sent a bill for $175. Somehow, a free estimate (as listed right on his Angie's List page) that lasted 15 minutes turned into a $175 service charge. When I emailed him to ask him about the charge and how he got that number, he gave me a step by step (literally--he even told me how many times he walked back and forth between the house and garage) retelling of that 15 minutes. That still didn't explain why he is advertising free estimates as such if they aren't, in fact, free. I informed him that if he had to perform billable work to complete an estimate, then he shouldn't offer them for free. Had he told me upfront that he would need to charge us for testing, I would have asked the price and agreed or passed on the appointment. That is the fair way to do business.

In response, Jeff sent me this email [sic throughout quote]:

You know what? Forget it. On me!!  I dont want you as a customer. I dont want your money   Please dont ever call me again for service. Im happy to fix your problem for free , but i choose to never service you again. Its not worth the aggravation. i never in 30 years have been treated like this. Have a nice day.

It was incredibly unprofessional and downright rude. MY emails were firm, but always polite. I had offered to pay for a portion of the bill since I did think it was fair to pay for fixing the problem. Had he had an explanation for why the bill was so high (travel costs, parts, something like that), I would have paid the whole thing; however, Jeff had no explanation for these costs and instead resorted to throwing a temper tantrum.

I took it upon myself to post this email on Facebook yesterday and in less then 24 hours I've had others come to me and tell me that Jeff tried to con them or their friends out of money. So buyer beware--this is not a person you want to do business with.

UPDATE: Since posting this review, Jeff has sent me messages through email and Yelp apologizing for his behavior, but I chose not to respond because he seems very unpredictable. As a result, he is now attempting to say that I'm lying, etc. I still have the emails between the 2 of us, as well as a screenshot showing that he advertises on Angie's List for free estimates he is not willing to provide. Nothing I have posted here is untrue in any way. Based on his current behavior I can only assume that his attempts at an apology were only made to make me alter my review and now that he isn't getting his way, he's trying to discredit me. This is not someone you want working on your home. And by the way--the power is out in my garage again so his fix was a total waste of 15 minutes anyway.

I owned my home for several years and had no ceiling light in my living room. My home was over 100 years old, so it was originally gas lighting. Manny placed 6 recessed lights in my living room ceiling and included a dimmer switch! Then he installed baseboard electric heaters in every room including my living room. He did an excellent job and I was very happy.

We had to run new electric service on a farm to multiple buildings and upgrade the very outdated wiring that came with it (house is from the 1700's).  The old service was above ground, we switched to below ground (not trivial on this property).  Multiple complexities involved in making this project a success.  Josh did a great job working with me to figure out the best solution and was very prepared for the job.  He ran the whole job by the inspector BEFORE starting any work to make sure everything would be done properly when the inspector showed up.  A few weeks later we had a very clean and professional installation.  Josh makes sure his customer is happy first, and charges very reasonable prices for the quality of his work.  Highly recommend to anyone looking to have electrical work done!

Farryn Electric is too expensive.  They charged me $744 to remove 4 outlets that were in an exposed wall (not in drywall). The technician cut the cables, removed the outlets and wires, and put a junction box.

I don't blame the technician for the high price, but I blame the system that they use. The technician enters the information in an iPad and it generates a price.  The problem is that it does not allow for common sense (at least that's what I saw, when the technician entered the information). For example they charged me for what they called Circuit Demolition-Stage One, which by their definition Electrical demolition is not just taking a pair of wire cutters, and this is exactly what they did. They cut the wires and remove the outlets that were exposed because they were in an unfinished basement. They did not remove the breaker.

My recommendation for Farryn electric is to create a demolition option for the times that opening walls and tracing cables is not required. Because this job was much simpler than opening walls and removing the breaker, it should have cost a lot less. The only reason I went for it, is because my wife wanted the outlets removed immediately.

On a positive note, the technician was very friendly.

George Marko might be a competent electrician, however I  will never know considering I can't get him to return to the job site. Have called him over 10 times without even the courtesy of a return call.
Avoid the aggravation of dealing with a small time one man shop and hire a business man/ electrician. You'll be glad you did.

We recently had Rich and his crew install outdoor lighting for us. Their price was reasonable and they completed the work as promised. Initially, we had a problem with the lights not working properly. They immediately followed up and they thought it might be the transformer that was overloaded but they wanted to be absolutely sure before incurring the expense of a new transformer. The crew came to the house several times and by process of elimination ultimately determined that it was a transformer issue. This is one of the few contractors we have had who diligently followed up until the issue was resolved. Very professional and courteous. We will always call RMV for our electrical needs.

I've known Bob for years and finally got a chance to work with him and the crew for my kitchen remodel. Before everything started, he worked with me to draw everything out, and clarify details for the job. We even discussed different options to figure out a good combination of energy efficient lighting and visual impact for the room. Once the plans were together, he gave me a fixed price for the installation and materials, and stuck to it! Two separate days (rough in and final) were scheduled ahead of time, so as I got to each step in the process, I let Bob know in case we needed to adjust calendars. Rough In day was a great experience as the crew ran through all of the plans with me first thing in the morning, and they were careful to remind me to turn off computers and such before they got started. Final day was again great and when questions needed answers, they called and described so they could move forward. Final result: first rate work, on time, at the quoted price, and everyone who sees this kitchen loves the lighting.

Disorganized, condescending, poor workmanship and overpriced.

First I had explained the job to be done to the person on the phone when I made an appt.   On the appointment day  I had to call the office to see if they were coming as scheduled because they were 25 minutes late.  Second the electricians had no idea what they were there to do so they came unprepared for the job and had to run back to their shop for supplies &  they charged me for travel time to and from my home to go get  supplies they should have had with them.

When discussing the location of an exterior light I was concerned about where it was to be placed and was told it's okay Hun it will work.  I then was on my out to pick up an additional light  and it was suggested by the electrician that if I got the coffee he would get the Baileys and we could make our own drinks.  Seriously.

Third, the bill received was unbelievably high for the work completed and I expressed to the company that it seemed too high but received no response, although they cashed my check.

Unfortunately, lastly it wasn't until after I paid the bill that when one light installed was checked they had left the wires hanging outside the housing on an exterior light and never put in a weather seal.

Don't waste your time or money calling these guys.
