Best Electricians in Pennsylvania

I have used Gen3 quite a few times now, and I am never disappointed.  The people, the customer service and the work performed is always top notch.
Stan came recently to replace all my hard-wired smoke detectors, on Christmas Eve, no less.
Stan, like the rest, was professional and courteous.
Cyndy always provides fantastic customer service, as does Nicole.
I do not hesitate to recommend them for all your electrical needs.

I hired Greg to install some 220V lines in my basement as well as some additional 115V outlets. When I first called, he asked me to send photos of my electrical panel. After reviewing them, he called back walked me through each step of what needed to be done. At the end of this call, he suggested I call around to some other electricians because his schedule was booked until the end of November. I didn't actually follow up with any other people. Luckily for me, an opening came available due to a canceled job. Greg came by and spent probably 8 hours at my house well into the evening running lines. He got everything working and then left the cables to be tacked up during his next visit. He came by a few weeks later to finish. The job is now complete, much sooner than his original estimated start date (~Nov 20th).  It addition to providing great service & being very professional, Greg's price was competitive. I highly recommend him and will be hiring him again in the future if needed.

Larry is a great guy! He was so helpful and went out to my home the same day and fixed the issue. He was honest and straight forward and did not over charge or try to get over on us. We will definitely use him again for any of our needs that require an electrician! I highly recommend him!!

Mike from Jim and Sons came to us through a 'general contractor', and was the only bright spot of that experience.  He was knowledgeable, friendly, gave good suggestions, and did good work.  I would not hesitate to use Jim and Sons for any electrical project in the future.

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.

Tony and his team were just amazing to work with. We did a major entire home re-wire. I reviewed 5 companies and got quotes from all. Read the reviews and went with iTech. So happy with all the work they did. Stay on budget, made adjustments I requested along the way. Identified potential issues and mediated problems. They completed the work on time, and I will keep them busy with future electric jobs that come up. They earned an A+  from me.

Great service. Friendly service. They performed a thorough inspection prior to beginning the service. They also give you a quote at 3 price points. They do NOT pressure you to pick the most expensive option. After service was completed, everything that was done was overviewed including what was the issue. It is worth noting during the initial phone call they tried to walk us through troubleshooting at no additional cost. An Excellent Black Owned Business. We have found our electricians for the foreseeable future.

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

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

PEM is a very knowledgeable and professional electrician company though not low cost. They took on a project to inspect and update all of the aluminum-copper junctions in our house. We had them install some new lighting fixtures as well. They were very conscientious about conforming to Lawrence Twsp code, buying extra tools to ensure tightening the connections to specifications. Then they worked with the inspector's schedule to support the Inspection.

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.

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.

We needed a few things done around our house - doorbell installation, breaker and electrical panel upgrades - when we came across Married 2 Electric. Their technicians are informative and efficient, providing reasonable quotes and quality service. We will definitely be requesting our technician - Scott - for future projects. 5/5 HIGHLY recommend.

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.

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!
