Best Electricians in Pennsylvania

Summary: expect to be surprised with extra charges.  Inspect invoices carefully.  Proceed at your own risk.

The good:
- speedy online correspondence, usually timely (unless there is a problem)
- quick first visit for quote
- showed up on time for the work
- house hasn't burned down yet

The not so good:
- changed quote in the middle of the job ($700 extra).  Said the wiring was older than expected and the job was more complicated.  Given that the building is 120 years old, a professional who has worked in such buildings before should have foreseen this possibility of old wiring being an issue and be honest about it in the original quote.  Ultimately I believe I was overcharged but I had no option since we were in the middle of the project and I just needed to get it done.

- first technician who showed up for job said I wasn't supposed to work on this job, so I'm not familiar with the details.  Then he kept saying that's not my problem for every single thing that came up.  Sure, an electrician is not expected to do carpenter's work, but a technician with such an attitude is bad news for a project.

- The second crew that came had to work unattended as I had to go to work.  Coming back I found the electrical panel only partially installed (the first person had removed and lost two of the screws), damage on the kitchen tile and grout, possibly from dropping a heavy tool, and my Dyson vacuum used to clean up construction dust.  

- the final result was just acceptable.  The undercabinet lights are flickering, and the patches from the cuts in the wall required considerable patching and sanding.  I thought this is normal, until I saw the work from the next electrician I hired, which was immaculate and ready to paint. The new circuits were not labeled on the panel.  One switch cover had to be cut to fit the area and the cut is crooked.

- upon completion of the work, I kept getting inaccurate invoices that included work that had not been performed.  After about 1 month of back and forth with revised and revised-revised invoices, I just paid whatever I was told because I was tired and wanted to get it over with, fully knowing that I was still being overcharged.

I will be staying away from these friendly NEIGHBORHOOD Home Experts.

Greg answered my Yelp quote request quickly, and walked me through what I needed to do to fix my breaker over message. No need for him to come and no cost to me!

I am so grateful and impressed and looking forward to hiring him for future projects.

Thank you so much for your help!

We used the guys at Lauterborn Electric for rewiring during a kitchen remodel.  The prior homeowners had some interesting ideas on how electric works, but Larry and his team addressed everything and did a great job rewiring and getting everything up to code for the remodel.  They went over the top to make sure we were satisfied and were extremely thorough.  Most importantly, I feel confident that the work was done correctly, is safe and won't cause me problems down the line.  

I would highly recommend Larry and the team for whatever job, big or small.

Excellent customer service and communication!!  Jim was so helpful to our family during the entire process.  He sincerely wanted to help keep costs down and was flexible when we wanted additional services.  I will refer Jim & Sons Electric to my family and friends and I highly recommend their services.  The scheduling went smoothly and the work was done at the appointed time.  The areas were cleaned up after the job was done.  Thanks so much for your help Jim and we'll see you in few months for additional jobs.

Joe was fantastic; professional, knowledgeable, friendly and thorough! Competitively priced service with a smile. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I will be using JDV again in the future and recommending them to all of my friends. Thanks again Joe!

Tony responded my request very quickly and gave me clear estimate. His team, Edison was so great and thoughtfully checked every small stuff. I strongly recommend this company!!

My Wife has been on my back for 2 years about this chest freezer we purchased but needed a dedicated electrical outlet line for before hooking it up. The freezer had been sitting due to the fact I was dreading looking for an Electrician to do the wiring. So many contractors waste your time by not responding, not showing up, inaccurate pricing, incomplete work, and of course shoddy workmanship. The research process in finding a contractor is very tedious because you want to avoid any of the above from becoming your reality. I am ecstatic, thankful, and joyous that my vetting process matched me with FMJ Electrical. Here's why:

Easy & Thorough Communication - I was able to submit my inquiry via yelp. We then spoke by phone to make sure all details and information was clear.

Fast Scheduling - Was able to fit me in the schedule upon talking to him.

Prompt - Contacted me the night before to remind me of the appointment. That showed me they valued not only my time, but also their time as well. Arrived on time the day of appointment and was ready to work.

Excellent Work - Flawlessly performed my new outlet installation. Ran it directly to the box inside the wall. Another quote I received from another provider would run it through tubing outside the wall and have the outlet external on top of the wall. FMJ did everything behind the wall and recessed the actual outlet. Also, the placement of the outlet was better than what I had imagined. I thought it would be higher up the wall for him to save time. He actually lowered more towards the ground which made less stress on the plug. Beautiful!

Price - I was quoted an excellent price for the work I needed done. Work was completed, I paid the bill, FMJ gets paid, my Wife stops nagging me, everyone wins!!!!

Bottom line......give FMJ Electrical a call or drop a line to them on Yelp if you want your electrical needs done right, at a great price, and on time!

Whoever initially wired the house we bought wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, so they installed an outlet meant for a range in the laundry room. I needed to have that outlet swapped out for the right type.

I found GE on yelp, they offered a great rate, and off we went. They were extremely punctual and respectful of the house (they brought shoe covers!) and replaced it quickly. They even pointed out some other issues with the wiring, which I may have them take care of in the future.

I didn't have the right outlet or cord for the dryer--they had an outlet in their truck and put it in! They also came back a couple hours later once I had the right dryer cord, to finish the job.

I can't recommend them enough. Super efficient, professional, and a great job. I'll definitely be using them again in the future.

CJ did an awesome job running new wiring from my panel to a new outlet for a sauna I am installing. He was attentive to detail, clean work, no damage to walls - looks like he was never here. Highly recommend for quality work at good price. Responded to me an completed the job in less than 24hrs from my first outreach.

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

After talking to the owner of the company I've got to change my review for this  company Steve said he would do whatever he could to help us now that's good service. I hope to b doing business with them real soon

I was very satisfied with the work that was done in my house. Alex is a very professional electrician that has made my house look great. all my problems and concerns were resolved.

I strongly recommend Princeton Electrical Makeover as an outstanding electrical service.

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

The Yelp community came through again! I used the message a project Yelp function to EP Electric for an outdoor electrical outlet problem. EP Electric responded within the time they said they would, and then called when scheduled two days later for a consultation.

I gave another description of the problem, and Andi informed me of the initial cost to come out and advised me of the Yelp coupon which I had known about. Anything above that cost would be discussed before the work would be done.

I made an appointment to have EP Electric come out, and Andi and his assistant showed up as scheduled. His communication beforehand to come to my house also was very good.

Fortunately for me, my problem was easy for Andi to resolve and the breaker only needed replacing. The whole thing was done in less than 30 minutes right before a super-drenching downpour. Good thing since it was an outdoor plug problem!

I'd highly recommend EP Electric. Very good communication and quick service. The right way to do business.

Rod, the owner I believe, was responsive to my initial request for a quote, and came out to the house to provide the quote - when it was convenient for US.  He was professional, polite, and willingly answered our many questions.  He provided a fair reasonably priced quote (more than reasonable), and did the work about a month ago - installing electric baseboard heaters in the finished basement, where the parents moved in.  They did an impeccable job, left the place as clean or cleaner, and it looks and feels great.  I waited to write the review to make sure everything was working properly, and it certainly is.  I will use Married 2 Electric for future projects I have planned.

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.

Love this company and the two staff electricians that were dispatched to my home. I was pretty nervous to contact an electrician from an online google search, but I was pleasantly surprised. They were honest, fast, explained well and repaired shoddy electrical work that I had done. I am truly grateful that they quickly restored electricity to my home, in time for my first Thanksgiving in my new home!
