Best Electricians in Pennsylvania

I was extremely impressed by GEN3!!! They responded to my request quickly and were able to send someone out to my house the same day! Gordon called to let me know that he was on his way and he did an amazing job! He quickly identified the issues and fixed them on the spot! He was very professional and took the time to explain what the problems were and what he was doing to fix them. He also made some great recommendations on other potential upgrades I can do at my leisure. The pricing was affordable and they even had a coupon I could use for a discount! I am happy to report that I have finally found a knowledgeable, experienced, and dependable electrician I can trust! Thank you GEN3 and thank you Gordon!

I first contacted Greg about another job, and he advised not to have an electrical solution to this issue. I kept his information as someone who did not solely want money in his pocket. Yesterday, yes on Memorial day, he came out and installed two ceiling fans in my house. They look fantastic, and he dealt with a variety of problems, including plastic ceiling boxes and a missing part on one of the fans. He went to a local Lowe's to get the part and he installed a remote on one of the fans free of charge. He also stuck with the quoted.  I am a new homeowner and have dealt with a variety of technicians. Greg was by far the best. I hope that I do not have electrical problems in the future, but if I do I know who to call, Greg. Thanks!!!!

Bought a house in 2012. The inspector noted open splices in the junction box  that needed to be fixed. Lauterborn Electric had great reviews so I felt comfortable in calling them to get an estimate along with several others companies. During the time of reviewing the job we noticed water was leaking in from the outside service cable. I felt them to be trustworthy. Through the process, Larry & his sons were on time, very professional, knowledgable & well priced. They installed a new 100 amp service cable, meter socket, 100 amp 30 circuit panel, new breakers, new GFCI 30 amp line for my electric dryer, bonded & ground the system, installed a bedroom light and ceiling fan. United inspectors came out 2 days after the job was done. Very easy process and very satisfied with the work they did. Already got another job lined up for them to do in the fall.

These guys are great! They've done multiple jobs for my home and business. They are friendly and reasonably priced. Definitely my go-to for any electrical work!

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.

From the time I first contacted iTech via Yelp until the time my project was finished was 6 days.  I needed an EV charger installed as well as a 60 amp circuit run to the outside of my house.

I asked for a quote via Yelp, they responded within 5 mins with a couple questions. They said they'd need to come on site, and I was able to schedule it for the next morning. They came out and I had an estimate in hand in 10 mins.

I contacted them the next day (thu) telling them I wanted to proceed, and they scheduled me for Monday morning.

They showed up (on time!) and were done with the install in 90 mins.

It's one of the best experiences I've had with a service provider. Responsive, showed up on time, and scheduled me right away.

I've only had my inspection so far but I really recommend this company! A Black owned business with wonderful workers. Maliek was professional, knowledgeable, and super nice. He was able to explain everything to me as a first time homebuyer in a way that made sense. He also went over my home inspection with me and found issues that the inspector didn't. Also I was given two price points to choose from for the work I wanted. Great all around!

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.

CJ did an awesome job running new wiring from my panel to a new outlet for a sauna I am installing. He was attentive to detail, clean work, no damage to walls - looks like he was never here. Highly recommend for quality work at good price. Responded to me an completed the job in less than 24hrs from my first outreach.

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.

Terrible terrible service. I waited 3 months for a quote. My project for totally derailed. I regret counting on Alex. Find a different electrician.  Can't get any worse.

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.

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).

I just moved into the Furlong area from Manhattan. Don't know anyone here. I looked up reviews of various electricians but they were either expensive or had bad reviews. One fellow from another company came out and gave me a high estimate. I was looking for someone to put in two receptacles on its own 15 amp breaker in the basement and run a Cat 6 ethernet line there as well.  Plus change the ends of three phone connectors in my home to Ethernet as Cat 5E wiring was already in place.

After getting some high prices I finally found Joel who owns Aratechservices.  He didn't have any reviews on Yelp (though there were some hidden reviews blocked by their bot) but he did have some on Google. They were all good. So I called Joel and he talked with me for a bit, not making me feel rushed. I explained to him what I wanted to do. Being in the IT business I had some ideas what this should cost. He said best for him to come out, see everything to give a more accurate estimate. We made an appointment a few days later and he arrived exactly on time.  Went over some different plans, he listened to my thoughts and he had some good ideas as well and I was happy to the costs involved.  But he said he would send over an estimate that evening so I could see the prices for everything.

Sure enough that estimate arrived by evening and it was professionally displayed with every line item detailed and the plan explained. There was a place where I could modify the plan or accept as is. I chose to modify slightly our idea and he agreed and kept it at the same price even though it required some more time on his behalf.

Joel arrived couple days later with his assistant Tim and immediately began running the electrical line to the basement. I was right away impressed as his assistant held a vacuum to collect all the debris! They routed the line through conduit that was the shortest and cleanest route they could find. Had to cut a square into the basement ceiling for access. Then they ran the CAT 6. Same attention to detail to drop it down. Capped it off with a two gang plate with two receptacles and an ethernet jack.  While he was doing this part he said he could easily install two electrical receptacles in the garage that could be handy in the future. At NO additional cost. I said sure lets do it and was very happy about that.

Joel then moved on to the router side where we were going to take three ethernet outputs and run it to Verizon punch down block so I could get ethernet in the three other rooms. But then we had a thought. Since he just provided two ac receptacles near the Verizon box how about we put a 5 port ethernet switch right inside and then we only need one ethernet coming out of the router. I had a few switches being in the computer business. This would cut down running two other lines and make the whole thing easier. Joel agreed and now we had a better setup. After this was completed he terminated the three phone lines with ethernet jacks and we tested all of them by doing a speed test. Sure enough I was getting 1 Gig to all locations as I have 1 Gig coming from the Fios router.  He also had his voltage/electrical meter on the new ac line the whole time testing as well.

At this point everything was done other then cleanup.  I noticed Tim was no longer around. The only thing I was concerned about was that square hole in the basement ceiling. Was he going to cover that?  I didn't say anything to Joel to see what would happen. Then I mentioned Where is Tim? Is he all done as I wanted to say goodbye and thank him with a tip.  That's when Joel said he sent him to Home Depot as he did not have a cover for the basement ceiling. Sure enough Tim arrived back ten minutes later with the cover and they installed it.  As they were leaving (after 5 hours of solid work) I asked Joel about payment and he said he would send the bill electronically and I could pay using Paypal. He must have been busy that night or tired as I didn't receive until the next night.  To cap it all off he actually reduced the price of the original estimate. Since we changed the plan by putting in the switch he didn't need as many parts and time to complete the job. He passed those savings on to me and I immediately sent payment!

All in all I am extremely satisfied with the work Joel and Tim from Aratechservices performed. They are super professional. Highly recommend for any electrical needs!!

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.
