Best Businesses in Pennsylvania

I called Street Brothers because I was selling a house and wanted to get a several electrical issues fixed.  Steve was very responsive and helpful.  He came to the house the next day and started the work right away.  He found a few things that I didn't know about but that a home inspector would have cited as problems and fixed those too.  His prices were very fair.

On Sept 21st  2022, we entered into a contractual agreement with Grounded Electric LLC (HIC # PA168075)  for renovations. We paid $18,000.00 by bank transfer (40% of total contract!) in a deposit as stipulated in the contract for services to total $50,000.00 by project completion.  Thomas Bush, the company's representative, stated that he attempted to obtain a permit from the City of Philadelphia but was unable to do so due to a lack of proper insurance coverage on his part. No work has been completed or started. This company initially said they were licensed and we checked their license with the state of PA and insurance as verification. However, when Thomas Bush applied for a permit with the City of Philadelphia, he was unable to provide the appropriate documentation (scope of work and insurance requirements) to secure a Philadelphia permit or license. He stated that the cost of the required insurance is not worth it for his business. More than three weeks after payment, on 10/15/2022 Thomas Bush stated he would refund the total amount of $18,000.00 back to us by 10/17/2022. We requested certified funds and tracking but after this request Thomas decided to send a personal check in an open window envelope via regular mail on 10/18/22. In quotes is direct communication with Thomas after asking him to send the refund via electronic or expedited means: Since it's not possible to issue the refund via methods it was received it's at my discretion how to issue the refund. I will mail a check with the full amount $18,000 to address listed below today via standard mail. This is the best I can do at this point in time. Consider my response a token a good faith that it's on the way, I could've gone silent and left you in the dark. Sorry again. How do you think we feel, waiting on an $18K personal check via snail mail in an open window envelope with no tracking after stating he could have gone dark? Hopefully the check arrives in a timely fashion and the personal check does not bounce.

From the start Mike answered our inquiry in a timely fashion and gave us an estimate that was more than fair. He and his team were tasked with multiple challenges with our house from wall and ceiling repairs, appliance and electrical work, to multi-room painting. My wife and I were more than satisfied with the outcome and dealing with a pleasant and prideful professional in our house on a daily basis. You name it and All Affordable Repairs can fix it.

My experience with electrical plus has been fairly APPALLING.

After spending almost $2,000 to get our 35 year old electrical panel replaced, they did not attach the ground wire to the panel for the whole house. I had to hire another master electrician to come spur-of-the-moment during a kitchen remodel, he discovered this problem and showed it to me, I took pictures, and then he fixed it while fixing other things. Electrical Plus, claims it's a 2-second fix. That's nice, but it has nothing to do with taking responsibility for incomplete work that could have allowed my young children to be electrocuted because the whole house wasn't grounded. No matter what they say, incomplete work is incomplete work. When I called, and emailed, starting the day I found this out, I got no responses. I had to make a statement that I would report them to the state for incomplete work before I finally got a response. I also paid $200 for an inspection, that they didn't bother to follow up on and make sure it happened. They like to say it's not their fault because they can't control the inspectors, which has nothing to do with follow-up. Plain common courtesy customer service. I ran client service departments for 20 years. I know exactly what good customer service looks like. On top of all that, the person who responded from electrical plus to my emails, argued with me through 13 emails without ever taking responsibility, and only offered back $50 out of the $2000 for the inconvenience and said he did not believe me that the wire wasn't grounded in the first place. I don't appreciate being called a liar. As I repeatedly said, the inspection didn't happen until I followed up myself, after the master electrician fixed electrical plus's mistake. They would not have passed the inspection, had I not paid more money on top of the total to electrical plus for someone else to fix their mistake.

I only asked for 10% back. It's not an inconvenience to my family if someone gets electrocuted, especially a small child! Here is a sample of the kind of customer service electrical plus offers with their work. Buyer beware!

Hooking up the ground wire takes 2 seconds and I don't believe that we had not hooked it up.  If we had failed the inspection, we would have come back to fix it for free.

So, I think that 10% back is unreasonable.  I am only offering the $50 for the inconvenience factor.

Cory has been back multiple times to do more work for us and he continues to be affordable, knowledgeable, kind and quick.

UPDATE TO MY REVIEW THIS MORNING.  Today I received a call from the owner Jeff and he advised me there was an inadvertent overcharge as he thought 2 GFI/Switchs and bubblecovers were purchased and installed during the Worker's visit.  He apologized and said he noticed it when he processed my payment today and reviewed the invoice.  His call and response was professional and the right thing to do.  He is correcting the charge error as well.  Therefore, I am satisfied with the outcome and appreciate his actions.

We recently had Rich and his crew install outdoor lighting for us. Their price was reasonable and they completed the work as promised. Initially, we had a problem with the lights not working properly. They immediately followed up and they thought it might be the transformer that was overloaded but they wanted to be absolutely sure before incurring the expense of a new transformer. The crew came to the house several times and by process of elimination ultimately determined that it was a transformer issue. This is one of the few contractors we have had who diligently followed up until the issue was resolved. Very professional and courteous. We will always call RMV for our electrical needs.

I owned my home for several years and had no ceiling light in my living room. My home was over 100 years old, so it was originally gas lighting. Manny placed 6 recessed lights in my living room ceiling and included a dimmer switch! Then he installed baseboard electric heaters in every room including my living room. He did an excellent job and I was very happy.

Josh installed my garage Tesla charger decently. This was during COVID-19, with social distancing/masks mandated.
He did an OUTSTANDING job!!  The install was perfect, and his communication about timing was perfect.
He was professional, courteous, respectful, mindful of all regulations, and timely.  Everything one could want in a contractor.
I would absolutely hire him again, as I am hoping I can for a Tesla Powerwall installation soon.

Had a wonderful experience with Farryn electric. They quickly helped figure out my lighting issue, were prompt, clean and respectful.  They were easy to reach and overall great.  I will call them again without hesitation.

I recently had a great experience with Chris from Pops Electric.  He fixed various receptacle problems around my home (open grounds, reverse polarity, dead outlet, non-working GFCI) and did a general safety check on my main breaker panel.  I really appreciated that when he found what was causing the issue on each receptacle, he showed me what was wrong with it and what he did to fix it.  He was very thorough when checking the breaker panel, tightened up a few neutrals and checked the voltage of the hots and neutrals on each bar to make sure everything was the same.  I also really liked that for every receptacle faceplate he removed, he aligned the screws vertically when he put them back on.

I hired Redline to correct some issues the contractor who built my home messed up, and to add some additional circuits, outlets and ceiling fans. They were fast, courteous, and fixed everything I needed. I'm very pleased with them and will continue to use them in the future. I feel much safer in my brand new house thanks to their work!

Came promptly and figured out just was our problem was, for a fair price. Would definitely use again.

Disorganized, condescending, poor workmanship and overpriced.

First I had explained the job to be done to the person on the phone when I made an appt.   On the appointment day  I had to call the office to see if they were coming as scheduled because they were 25 minutes late.  Second the electricians had no idea what they were there to do so they came unprepared for the job and had to run back to their shop for supplies &  they charged me for travel time to and from my home to go get  supplies they should have had with them.

When discussing the location of an exterior light I was concerned about where it was to be placed and was told it's okay Hun it will work.  I then was on my out to pick up an additional light  and it was suggested by the electrician that if I got the coffee he would get the Baileys and we could make our own drinks.  Seriously.

Third, the bill received was unbelievably high for the work completed and I expressed to the company that it seemed too high but received no response, although they cashed my check.

Unfortunately, lastly it wasn't until after I paid the bill that when one light installed was checked they had left the wires hanging outside the housing on an exterior light and never put in a weather seal.

Don't waste your time or money calling these guys.

Way over Priced. $5,000 to $8,000 just to to run electric to an above ground pool. No thanks, I'll keep looking.
