Best Electricians in Pennsylvania
Electrician
Probably my best contractor/serviceman/handyman experiences ever. Filled out web form with 3 preferred date and am/pm options. They contacted me a few hours later with choice of my preferences and 2 hour windows.
On the day of the appointment, I received a phone call 15 minutes into my 2-hour window informing me he was heading over and would be there in 15 minutes. He arrived right when he said. I showed the problem, he talked me through causes, solutions, and things to be aware of. I showed him some ancillary stuff, he took his time talking me through those things. He wrote up an estimate and I looked it over while he got his tools. After signing (and an electronic copy getting forwarded to my email), he got to work and was done in a reasonable time frame. We talked about some further possible items and he took his time talking me through the pros and cons of them.
He even showed me some stuff that I didn't even bring to his attention (my doorbell chime wasn't set up right and had been using a plug-in wireless. He showed me how to fix it out of his own accord, just noticing it on his own).
My intention with hiring an electrician was mostly for peace of mind. While I could have watched some youtube videos and struggled through it myself, I wanted an expert set of eyes to look at the whole picture and give me signs that the wiring done before I bought the house was actually all right. He did exactly that and showed me signs that the wiring was good, and that it was just this issue that needed fixing. That sense of ease from having a professional look at it was worth every penny.
All in all, my experience with Generation 3 Electric was that they were clean, courteous, honest, and prompt.

When I was looking for an electrician to do a full house rewire/knob and tube removal, I must have contacted 10+ electricians in Philadelphia. Most didn't even get back to me, or barely wrote a complete sentence in reply.
Greg wasn't available to do the work I needed, but not only did he get back to me, he also provided detailed information and advice tailored to my situation. He sent me several informational articles (that he had written himself) about knob and tube and related issues. He also answered several follow-up questions that I had. And he suggested another electrical company to me, which I ended up hiring (and they did a great job!).
I've also seen Greg on social media, generously offering substantial free advice to other people who were having electrical problems, without asking for anything in return or engaging in self-promotion. He seems extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his trade and genuinely interested in helping people even when there is no financial gain for him. I would've hired him in a heartbeat if he had been available when I needed electrical work, and I would not hesitate to hire him if I need other work done in the future.

We have used Jim & Sons electric on 3 different occasions
We have been very pleased each time
They back up all work they do and make sure the work is done right ( including small things such as how it looks after installation)
It is so hard to find reasonably priced and competent electricians... They fit that description perfectly

I was having issues in my house where appliances were turning off during operation and lights were flickering.
A google search indicated that this could be a fire hazard. I called my usual electrician and waited. After several hours of waiting and never hearing anything back I called four other electricians and didn't hear a single thing from any of them either.
I reached out to my plumber and asked for a recommendation -- he recommended JDV and they called me within a few minutes of me reaching out. The woman on the phone was extremely polite and helpful and let me know someone could come out that same day. She even called me prior to their arrival so I would have an idea when they would be here.
Joe was on-site and diagnosed the issue. He was able to diagnose my problem quickly and was able to do the repairs the same week (permits were required so he had to come back).
Overall I am extremely happy with JDV -- I already recommended them to family members and will be using them for more work within the next few months. You can't go wrong with JDV!

They never contacted me about the repair. Like most contractors/repairmen, and such, they won't do small jobs because they can't hide their overcharges.

I highly recommend FMJ electrical. I called them Monday to install a wire from ceiling fan to power outlet near the floor. Next day technician arrived on time to estimate cost and do the job. It was made complicated because the wire had to traverse an air duct. Mike estimated the cost of the job on the spot and I am very happy that he used an estimating book and gave me a great price. Took him two hours to install wire and patch the five holes he had to make. Mike did a perfect job. I will definitely use them again.

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.

Andi and his partner Nick did a fantastic job with my house! I wanted recessed lighting done and he was very honest with getting me a quote about what he can/can't do.
They are perfectionists and want to stay to complete the job 100%.
Very professional coming on time/ earlier. Prices are fair and you definitely pay for quality. These guys do a smooth, clean job and also clean up after themselves when they're done.
I'm very pleased with the service I got and will definitely use them again one day when I redo my bathroom lights!

I had these guys out to my house for several jobs. They are always nice, competent and efficient. This last visit the man put in 3 hard wired smoke detectors, identified which breaker they were on, put in a light switch and provided and estimate in under an hour. He also went through and put dates on all the detectors so I'd know when to change them again. Just fabulous people and have already recommended them to others.

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.
