Best Electricians in Pennsylvania

I don't know where to start... First and foremost. THANK YOU!  I had a very large water loss / damage to 3 floor of my home.  From the initial phone call with Chad to get an emergency electrician out within a half hour and assuring me that James would come to set up an emergency 230 line for the restoration company.  James was AMAZING and worked to re-assure me my home was safe.  I was impressed with his diligence and keen eye to detail and his friendly manner.  When you are in a crisis situation, you need reliable, professionals.  I understand why Gen3 is rated top #1 for Electricians in the Philadelphia area.

Andrew followed up with me to check on my satisfaction over that weekend. I thought that was very nice of him to call me and talk me through the next phase.  

I needed to delay the job due to other work that was not completed and Gen3 had no problems with moving my install date.

I had numerous e-mails with Dottie with respect to replacing my panel and main box as well as GFI's.   I did not have to worry about anything.  Dottie took care of the permit with the township and provided me with all the necessary information.

I found it most impressive that I received a reminder e-mail from Andrew stating my electrician assigned was Kevin and gave me an accurate time frame.  It was nice to click the button to confirm and see a picture / face of who would be coming to my home.

The day of the job Kevin phoned me and stated that he was on his way and and me a time frame of arrival.  

When Kevin arrived and walked into my home the FIRST WORDS he said were I'm sorry you are going through this.  The visual damages were apparent, however, for Kevin to sympathize and show empathy with my situation and stress level was most appreciated and above professional- you don't find that in most people.

Kevin took time to speak with my general contractor  and myself about the work that would be performed.  I respected and appreciated he spoke to me before just getting out his tool box.  Kevin is a TOP NOTCH electrician. He was able to trouble shoot and did not stop till everything was PERFECT.  I understand why Gen3 is rated number one.  

Kevin came with Pat who was his assistant. Pat was respectful and diligent and they worked very well together.  Pat took the time to check EVERY outlet and be sure that everything was working properly. He even changed out a GFI as it did not test correctly.

In the end I'm most thankful for not only the empathy to my situation but to the professional service, the details to the job and the diligence for making sure that everything was PERFECT.

I can not thank you all enough. When you experience a large loss and your faced with a crisis it's difficult to navigate through all the in's and out's.  Kevin and Pat I thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my home safe again for my son and me, for your sincere and thoughtful kind words and for the stellar work.  

Respectfully Submitted.

I called Greg based on Anahid's review. I needed a meter box replaced outside of my apartment, which is a big job. Generation 3 electric quoted me at $1100. I called Greg out of the blue, and he came out and got the job done for me THE NEXT DAY for $600. He was professional and courteous. I highly recommend him for any electrical work you may need, big or small. You can also rest assured, because all his work is guaranteed forever. If you're rich, call Generation 3. If you're not, give Greg a call. The job will be done just as well for half the price.

I have used Lauterborn more times than I can count. The range of services have been complete electrical overhauls to simple installations of fixtures and every time I'm impressed with their service. Larry and his sons are both knowledgable and entertaining. When it comes to contractors it's important to me that they clearly communicate before, during and after the job AND are on time. Lauterborn makes good in all of them. Estimates are upheld and they show up within the small window we agree to. I will continue to use and, more importantly, recommend them to others (and have).

2nd time I have used them.
They are super professional and reliable, a bit hard to get a short term appointment, but worth the wait.

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.

We are very happy with the work and service that was provided. We had a property without power and pipes leaking, I Called this crew and they came out within a few hours and we're able to fix my problem. I am extremely satisfied with the work your crew has performed. Will be using them for my properties highly recommend them.
Thank you

I contacted GE Electrical Services after a bad electrician wired my house completely wrong. Edmond gave me a fair price to correct all the issue. His team does not cut corners and they make sure everything was up to code. Communication was good. I will be calling them for all my future projects.

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

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.

The electrician was absolutely wonderful. They came out as quickly as possible. My only complaint would be the high cost of the service call. It might have been a bit too high. However, I would use this company again. The service was great! Thank you.

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.

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.

I highly recommend Married 2 Electric. I called on a Monday for a baseboard heater malfunction issue, and the technician was out the next day. Professional, safe, courteous and reasonably priced.

Joel did a fantastic job. He was able to fit me in quickly. He was on time and did the job as promised. Workmanship was top notch. I will use him again.
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.
