Best Electricians in Pennsylvania

Disaster. More harm was done to our home. I cannot emphasize how much I regret them entering our home.

We wanted to fully ground our first floor and kitchen. We received an estimate from Gen3 for 12 outlets that simply needed the grounding wires to be attached, which was relatively simple and cheap. They also recommended updating the grounding system by installing two grounding rods in the basement floor and bonding the whole system to the water meter and gas meter. We agreed to this work, quoted at $1000.
The electricians that came out were pleasant and nice, but they didn't understand what the job entailed. The electrician that changed out the outlets didn't know that we wanted all outlets grounded; as it turns out only 4 of our 12 outlets had grounding wire in them - he should have noted this immediately. We were told in our original estimate that all 12 had grounding wire. So, great, now we have 4 random outlets grounded (none in the kitchen where they matter most). We didn't discover this until the end of the work, when the grounding rods were already placed and bonded to the water meter. Very unfortunately for us, for their work cause a 1-2 liter per hour leak in our lead pipe feeding the home from the city water main. (As an aside, we were interested in replacing this pipe but had the water tested the day before and found lead levels well below the EPA recommendation - so decided not to replace the pipe). Had we known the true situation of our house's electrical system (4 outlets with grounding wire instead of 12), we never would have had them out in the first place. I should have done the work myself!
The cost to replace the lead pipe was $4500 (Goodman Plumbing I heartily recommend). I spoke with Debbie, one of the Gen3 owners, who refused to take any responsibility of the faulty original estimate and avoided any ownership for a pipe that her employee damaged. She only offered to waive the cost and pay $85 for the fee the plumbers changed to come out the following day.
She committed to sending us the $85 2 months ago. After much prodding from my realtor to Debbie, we are still waiting for the check.

After my 9/16/16 review, one of the Gen3 owners reached out to me and made good on her commitment. Though I still would not recommend their business, she did what she thought she should do to make a disaster-situation right.

Half our house lost power and our outdoor AC won't turn on. I called Greg and he was able to help us diagnose our issue over the phone by texting him some pictures of our circuit breaker. When we removed the panel, we discovered half of the hot lines had water damage! Unfortunately realized we live outside of Greg's service area so he could not come help fix this issue himself but he referred us to two other electricians in our area who we will reach out to. Even though we couldn't hire Greg, he helped us quickly identify the issue and provided us with lots of helpful info. We would definitely recommend Greg to a friend - he seems like a wonderful electrician!

As a business owner for over 20 years I have seen a lot of self employed people come and go. What makes a good company survive while others flounder ??  A good product, a good price, and standout people that you can know and trust..

  I had used Lauterborn Electric once for a job (over a year ago) and I was happy with the upfront, honest and friendly way in which they presented a resolve to my issue. They did a good enough job that I referred them to a friend....who was happy that I did.

 I REALLY needed the Lauterborn Electricricians when I recently had a fire in my place of business. Larry Lauterborn answered his phone (which is a good indication of how their business is run) and he began to help that day with advice on what steps to take in my situation. They came out the next day with a quote for the repairs and when I agreed, they started the following day. I could blah blah blah you with all the details but I think you get where it's going.

 He has his 2 sons that work for him also and its nice to see that they are walking right in his footsteps. Kudos to you Larry, you are a good electrician and an even  better role model for your well mannered boys.
 

Can't speak highly enough about the company and I won't be calling anyone else for electrical work.

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.

Wow. I always use reviews to help decide who to hire. Google has so many more for JDV and when I came here to review them I was shocked at the 2 bad reviews. Seems 1 person is dissatisfied and had no work done and the other is upset over a price he agreed to pay.

I'm here to say otherwise. Was JDV the lowest quote. No. But a HIGH recommendation from a friend and I thank my friend for it. You get what you pay for. I got excellent work from knowledgable, friendly and courteous staff who did a phenomenal job. Won't be worried that my house will burn down with my new panel and service. Plus the quality of the panel and breakers with a built in surge protector and arc fault breakers. I feel safe. And all of the wiring was identified and labeled correctly. Thank you JDV I will be recommending you to friends and family.

I am so glad that I contacted iTech Electric! Tony responded to my request for a free estimate to replace my entrance service wire and to update my fuse box. Edison and Tony provided excellent service. They were prompt, professional, knowledgeable and really showed a passion for their work. Their passion and honesty is a rare find. I highly recommend iTech Electric and really wish I would've met Tony and Edison sooner - they are an amazing team! Thank you again!

Maliek was great, prompt and efficient. Thank you!!! For one thing, Frank -- an actual person -- answered the phone. That's a plus. Maliek came when. Promised, masked (thank you) and was respectful of our home with covers over his shoes, cleaning up along the way and always communicating where he was in the process. He gave us 3 options to choose from and was patient while we weighed the pros and cons. I would use this company again.

Edmond was a pleasure to work with from the quick response to my inquiry, a fair quote for the work, and finally the scheduling and completion of the work. Looking forward to working again with Edmond and his Team.

Excellent Craftsmanship, superb attention to detail and arrived earlier than expected.  Great Company!
I'll be referring to all in need of a excellent electrician.  Thanks Again Mr. Dunn job well done!

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 found Princeton Electrical Makeover via the Tesla site.  They were fantastic through out the process of estimating, quoting, scheduling and installation.  I really appreciated the thorough communications, attention to detail and the clean work.  I am ready to take delivery of my Model 3 next month!

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.

I was happy with the work done by EP Electric; they were very responsive in December when I needed 2 outdoor outlets replaced. They came within a day of the request sent to several electricians.  While at my house I asked for an estimate to have some switches changed to dimmers. The next time I needed an electrician was to change out some light fixtures. Again, EP Electric was pretty responsive and available in my timeframe. Since I had used them before, I was comfortable having them come out. When that job was complete, I again discussed the dimmers I wanted and we discussed when I wanted to get the work done.  We are working on a schedule for this week and I think it will really add to the ambiance of my house. Looking forward to it.

My wife called on a Monday for a baseboard heater malfunction issue, and the technician was out the very next day. Professional, safe, courteous and reasonably priced for the project. Highly recommend Married 2 Electric for your needs. They will be fair and won't try to sell you on unnecessary work at your home.
(FYI, mask worn the entire time he was on our property. Even when outside on the phone).

UPDATE 8/24: We recently moved into our new home and we reached out to Joel with questions regarding LED, outdoor lighting not working, breaker boxes that we didn't know what purpose they served, some lighting that was flickering and switch plates on the wall that were hot to the touch.  Joel was quick and knowledgeable to figure out exactly what needed to be done to fix the issues.  He was able to answer every question we had and even took care of some of our issues right on the spot.  He then provided fair, itemized estimates for the other jobs that we wanted him to take care of. Great service!!

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.
