Best Electricians in Pennsylvania
I Have used Gen 3 three times and I highly recommend them. They are helpful at solving problems. They are honest. The last guy told me I didn't need anything. My hairdryer was blowing fuses. Dave has been to my house twice. Once to wire a doorbell and today to add several outlets to turn my dining room into a hospital room for me to recuperate after surgery. I need outlets for medical equipment, like an electric hospital bed, a breathing machine , a heating pad and the usual stuff, a phone charger, a lamp, etc.
He came up with a plan to place receptacles where I can reach the ones I will need access to regularly near my hand while I am in bed and to hide the one time plugins on the baseboard. He cleaned up well and completed the work in a timely way. I paid for emergency service, but it was refunded because I spent over the required amount. Great staff!

I had a flickering lights and sizzling sounds from my circuit breaker box so i reached out to Greg late at night. He provided me with guidance (so I don't burn my house down lol) and came right out in the morning. While out, he showed me what was wrong & fixed it for a reasonable price. He's a friendly guy and extremely helpful. I look forward to doing business with him for my older home. Thnx Greg!!

I bought a fixer-upper that had fire safety issues due to circuit panel water damage.
Larry installed new 100amp service (cable, meter, and circuit breaker) at a fair price and ahead of schedule. His work is very clean.
I look forward to working with Larry again as I eventually upgrade the rest of the house.

These guys are great! They've done multiple jobs for my home and business. They are friendly and reasonably priced. Definitely my go-to for any electrical work!

I don't hire contractors often. When I do I'm extremely particular and critical. JDV did excellent work. Great pricing. Courteous. Clean. If ever I need an electrician again. I will surely call.

Tony and Edison were great to work with. The specifics (in no particular order)
- Their prices were more than fair
- On their walk through, they suggested ways for us to save money. They suggested we try out less recessed lights than we thought we needed because less would provide enough lighting.
- We bought a ceiling fan for sale and found that it was missing a remote and they just went out and bought us the remote!
- They were incredibly responsive. I mainly communicated with them via the Yelp messenger and they would always respond to me within minutes/seconds
- The quality of their work is flawless.
They installed 4 ceiling fans, 1 pendant light, 6 recessed lights, and replaced 4 lights for us. Everything was great and I highly recommend working with them. We definitely will when we finish our basement . Thank you guys!!

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 needed some minor electric work done at my house to get a U&O Permit.
While these guys did the work properly and were friendly enough, their rates appear to be made up on the spot, with no breakdown of cost, and are ridiculously high.
They wanted $150 just to put in a panel directory, and charged me $800 for relatively minor electrical work. I didn't know any better, and was just desperate to get the certification at the time, but even the inspector suggested I was ripped off at that rate.
..reply to buisness response:
I asked for a breakdown of the cost at the time of the estimate, after finding out you guys wanted $150 for the directory, just to find out if there was something else I could take out to DIY and save money. Your employee told me they don't have that, and it's just a general amount for the work in total.
If I knew you were charging $255 just to change a 20watt breaker to a 15w, I definitely would have done that myself. Not sure why only after a bad review I'm
getting this breakdown, when I asked for it before.

They were super responsive and timely. They explained everything including sending me a solution to an additional project I was considering in the future. Everything was done well.

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
Philadelphia, PA
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 was great! He was nice, patient, reasonably priced, and efficient. It was very clear that he knows what he is doing and takes the time to explain some things about the electrical wiring in your house, if you're interested. I will definitely use him again.

I can't say enough good things about Thomas Edison Electric. They are a very timely, professional and great company. I called later in the evening frantic when I found out that I would be responsible for having an electrical pole fixed on my dollar. Tom was very kind and understanding, he was upfront about the cost of an emergency call and coming out the next day, which isn't something you usually hear from companies when there's an emergency. The techs came out on time the next day while also calling in advance which was a nice courtesy. They performed the tasks necessary to fix the pole and also helped my father in law with the generator. My father in law spoke very highly of them and was so impressed by their honesty and commitment. It's rare to find quality companies that are professional like Edison.

Andi came out to install an outdoor light, and find the route of a problem with some old wiring. Both tasks completed successfully. He did a third while on location when asked. The company was very quick to respond to initial email and they set up a very quick appointment. Andi was very knowledgeable and extremely efficient. Couldn't ask for a better experience.

Rock solid team. Rod came out for the estimate and we talked through several ideas. They had no issue with the revising the estimate based on changes we made. Scheduling was quick.
Stephen and Brandon came for two days worth of work and were excellent to deal with. They worked well as a team and moved quickly. They were both very knowledgeable, took excellent care of the house while they worked, and cleaned up very well both days. They had great attitudes and are full of positivity.
This team will be my new go-to!

Joel was great. Had an issue with lights on my deck. I thought it might be the transformer but decided to wait and let Joel figure it out. Just a short, no new transformer needed. His fee was less than a new transformer I was ready to buy. Thanks Joel.

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.
