Best Electricians in Pennsylvania

Great response time, called Monday afternoon and someone came out the very next day. Stan diagnosed and solved our problem in no time at all. We were back in business in under an hour

Greg is wonderful!  So glad we found him after all these years living in Philadelphia.  We had a tricky situation - needed an outlet installed into a closet space with a washer/dryer already in place that could not be moved.  It was not an easy task!  Greg was able to accomplish this in no time without having to remove the washer/dryer, and the results are beautiful!  He was very easy to talk to, and was just a terrific guy all around.  Would recommend him 100%!

Larry Sr. and his sons Larry Jr. and Ryan are helpful trustworthy electricians. I like to learn and they are happy to explain their work. They came to problem solve an electric circuit tripping the breaker and were very systematic going about their job. Great at thinking through all the possible causes and narrowing them down. They came twice, each time for about an hour to work on the issue but I was only charged one $150 fee. I'm extremely happy with their service and will call on them for future work.

Wow! After reading the reviews, we decided to go with Jim & Sons. We had two jobs for them- replace a bathroom fan, and replace an outdoor GFI out let that wasn't working. The electrician showed up on time. We got a quote before he started work, and the price was very reasonable. The bathroom fan turned out to be somewhat more difficult than anticipated due to the way the broken one was installed, but he managed to get it done. Next was the outdoor GFI outlet. He tested it before replacing it, and found that it was working, and showed us what we were doing wrong to reset it. He could have easily replaced it and charged us, and we wouldn't have known the difference. It is a pleasure finding honest contractors who show up on time. We wil definitely use them again!

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.

I found out my electric panel was wet - yes, I basically had a waterlogged cable slow dripping for two years - in my rehabbed home. I got quoted from several places but went with itech for their quick response and rapid scheduling. They were accessible for questions pre and post job completion, and provided the quote for my insurance as I needed.

They most definitely completed the job in 5-star style. They respected my space while they were working in my home and that means a lot to me. They were very accommodating of my limited schedule and explained quotes and the work they planned to do very clearly. They were punctual and polite, too. I highly recommend these guys for your needs.

They grounded and updated the whole house in 2 days. Now we're safe thanks to FMJ. They are nice and reliable as well.

I had GE electrical update my service from 100 to 200 amp . Their prices were and service was fast , on time and clean.
I highly recommend GE electrical

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.

I hired them to install/replace lights for our landscaping and to brighten up the look of the house from the street.  We are very happy with the result and the service was excellent - timely, responsive, etc.  Would definitely use again.

Thomas Edison Electric came out on a Saturday and replaced two light switches in my house. The gentleman was right on time, very pleasant and professional.  These light switches are in my kitchen and very important.  I have nothing but good things to say.

Reached out to a handful of local companies for my outlet repair and EP gave me the best price. Andi was fantastic on the customer service end - knowledgable, accommodating, and polite. He was able to get me squared away with an appointment next day!

Ron was the tech that came out. He arrived on time (a little early which was great), was very kind, and kept me informed throughout the entire repair process. Great experience and his work was clean!

Will definitely be contacting them again for all future electrical work. Highly recommend EP Electric!!

Rodney and Ramon did an EXCELLENT job! Had them instal 4 recessed lights, dimmer switch, regular switch, and wires ran for a ceiling fan, switch, and instal a box.
I don't know how he did it without treating out drywall to run the wires, but he did.
Him and Ramon were very thorough, and clean.
I'm a very very picky person, and they exceeded my expectations!
They were also on time too!
Thank you again! I will not hesitate to use Married 2 Electric again, or to refer them to others!
Keep up the great work guys!!!

The owner Joel is professional and friendly. Prices quoted were great and With no extra charges. He gave a couple different quotes for so we could choose which fix we wanted to do. We upped the electrical service coming into the house instead of just repairing the problem. So in the future we can add ac. Cleaned up after the job and made new labels for every circuit after he verified each one was what the label said. I highly recommend Aratech services. Will hire again if needed.

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.
