Best Electricians in Pennsylvania

Had this group put in ring flood light price was weigh over board .  They did a fine enough job but pricing is out of balance with other good companies will not hire again.

I called Greg to see if he would be interested in giving me a quote for my project. Unfortunately, Greg was booked and unable to come out in my time frame. He did however ask me to send him photos of my project and talked me through each detailed step I need to take. He even told me to call him back with any questions. What an incredibly nice guy. Customer service like this is non-existent in this era. Thanks again!!!

I was extremely satisfied with Lauterborn Electric! Larry and his son were extremely helpful and were more than competent. They showed up on a last minute's notice and they were able to make a quick, efficient repair. If you are looking for honest, hardworking individuals who follow through, then I suggest you give them a call! I used them the first time today and it won't be the last. All I can say is that there is a reason they have five stars on Yelp!

Jim & Sons did a variety of electrical work including installing a dedicated line for a bedroom, and building/wiring a new bathroom exhaust vent unit in an aging house. Prices were very reasonable and were laid out in a very thorough estimate.
On the day the work was done, the electricians showed up on time, and went through everything to make sure it was up to my expectations
Will definitely use them again for any further electrical needs!

JDV ELECTRIC
(Lansdowne, PA)

One receptacle in my kitchen went dead and an electrician repaired it.  I tested it later with a radio and it did not work.  The electrician revisited but couldn't figure out the problem since the receptacle's little green light and other factors relayed that everything was fine.  He decided to check out the electrical box in the basement (should have done that on the first visit) and discovered that two or three busbars (also written as bus bars) were cracked and bent in two or three places (maybe evidence of some former electrician forcing non-fitting breakers into the slots), which made the whole box dangerous and may explain why the electricity wouldn't function properly at that outlet.

To replace the electrical panel, circuit breakers and for labor, his charge was $1970.  I got a second opinion on cost at a small company, JDV Electric (three trucks, established 2005), only one minute away, which worked at my next door neighbors yesterday, and she loved their work.  The owner of this second company pointed out the flaws of the first company:

1.  The recommended replacement electrical panel the first company chose was the cheapest one that could be purchased, with aluminum busbars rather than copper and a limit of 18 rather than 30 breakers.

2.  No permits were pulled according to the contract and, thus, an insurance company would not pay if there is an electrical fire.  (A neighbor's house burnt to the ground a couple years ago due to an electrical fire; they were on vacation.)

3.  No whole-house surge protector would be installed according to the contract.  (This company installs one.)

4.  No guarantee was written into the contract.   (This company gives three years for failure of parts and a lifetime labor guarantee for installation.)

5.  There was no inspection of the gray electrical cable attached to the rear of the house.  My neighbor just had her cable replaced because over 80 years the cable's sheathing had deteriorated and allowed water to seep into the cable and panel--and sealing it at possible rain entrance parts doesn't deal with a deteriorating sheathing problem.  Mine, he said, was in similar shape--all due to age, sun and weather.  (The replacement of parts includes replacement of the gray, thick electrical cable.)

7.  This company will ground all wires as well as water pipes, which helps avoid problems from a lightning strike--sort of a ground lightning rod.

8.  My new service plan will transfer to a new buyer.

9.  No future service fee to me beyond this initial $49 assessment.

10.  A complimentary one-year Safety and Savings Plan Membership (see company for details), though not all customers will agree to purchase at $125/year.

The first electrician, who did not keep the agreed-upon appointments for this problem, did not call and finally did come 1.25 hours late for the last rescheduled appointment with no apology, was upset that I went with a competitor and wanted to know the second company's cost so he could make a counter-offer.  My thought was, Why didn't you give me your best offer in the beginning?  I did not answer his email inquiry.

Yes, the second company is much more expensive, but only a little more when comparing apples with apples, i.e., replacing the electrical panel.  The first company's total charge for replacing only the electrical panel and circuit breakers was $1970.  JDV Electric's (remember, it is doing more than just replacing the electrical panel) is around $2200.  But when adding the replacement of the exterior cable, it comes to a total of $4454.  I am shocked, of course, but I and some savvy friends think the second proposal is better.  

When this job is done I will edit this review to report negatives, if any.

horrible...they gave a $25 to find out what is wrong...checked circuit breaker...then called and asked for $185 to see what is wrong...i would not offer my credit card so they said they can't stay and left for another job they said their boss wants them to go to...

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!

Edmond was very responsive and easy to work with. He was able to fit us in without much notice and was reasonably priced. We will definitely use him again for any future electrical issues.

CJ and his team are thorough, hardworking, communicative and courteous. I needed to have my 100+ year-old home completely rewired from knob and tube electric. CJ met with me, explained the process, presented his credentials, and answered my questions. He was able to get the job done faster and less expensive than other quotes, without sacrificing quality. CJ and his team went above and beyond in multiple respects, were flexible to meeting requests during the process, and frequently communicated and proved their dedication to customer service and excellence in performance. Would definitely recommend using DunnMaster Electric for any electrical needs!

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

Very educational and responsive. However, we weren't able to move forward with hiring them (maybe in the future) to due the 95 dispatch fee. I still would recommend them given how professional and respectful they are.

So please explain to me why a business located in Princeton won't service a residence in Trenton claiming that it's not in their service area??  Mind you I used Angie's List and this company was the very first based on my zip code and the fact that it's only like a 15 min drive.  REALLY!!! You don't deserve my business anyway!! I had to pick a star so there you go.

Tom and his trainee installed a ceiling fan in my 4th bedroom.  It is beautiful and they know what they are doing. The office staff are so friendly.  Quick easy service.  They never disappoint.

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.

Rod and his team just finished upgrading my electric panel to a 200amp and some other electrical items I needed done around the house. I called Rod about coming out for an estimate and within a week the work was done. Everything took a day and the team was very communicative in terms of letting me know how things were going. The quality of the work was superb and I intend to hire them on all future work in regards to electrical. If you want electricians who are quick, responsive and honest, this is the way to go.

Requested a quote and installation for recessed lights and ceiling fans in multiple rooms in my house. Quoted price was very reasonable and they worked with us to discuss options, expectations, and supplies. Communication was excellent and when they were running a little behind due to other jobs, they reached out to us to keep us aware of their status. They finished within the expected timeframe and were extremely courteous. For future electrical work, I'll be reaching out to these guys.

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!
