Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

Solid spot, I've used them for both electrical and hvac service and they are on the higher end of cost/service. But if you need someone to actually show up when they say they will and do an honest, reasonable job, these guys are legit. You might pay a little more than another outfit, but not too much and well worth it imo.

Greg is hands down the best contractor we've ever hired.  We hired Greg to correct a few electrical problems inside our very old condo as well as put in recessed lights in our living room and all of the work was done exactly as asked.  Greg is very knowledgeable and his communication skills really separate him from the previous contractor's that we've worked with.  He explained the work he was going to do, why/how he was doing it, and what the end product would be very thoroughly and he did not disappoint.  You can really tell that he loves what he does as it shows in his attitude and the work that he does.  Not only that, he is very reasonably priced.  Before starting the work, Greg quoted us an already reasonable price and we ended up paying even less when the work was completed.  We cannot say enough good things about him or his work and we will definitely be hiring Greg for all of our electrical needs in the future!

Amazing, hard-working crew. Larry and his sons were very quick to respond to my request for installation of a few ceiling fans and lights. Many other local electricians wouldn't even call me back. They were professional, fast and extremely knowledgeable. No job is too big or small for these guys - they had stories of jobs on full warehouses, to helping repeat customers who lose power. They know the true meaning of honesty and customer satisfaction.

Highly recommended to anyone in the Philadelphia area. Thanks again, guys.

Wow! After reading the reviews, we decided to go with Jim & Sons. We had two jobs for them- replace a bathroom fan, and replace an outdoor GFI out let that wasn't working. The electrician showed up on time. We got a quote before he started work, and the price was very reasonable. The bathroom fan turned out to be somewhat more difficult than anticipated due to the way the broken one was installed, but he managed to get it done. Next was the outdoor GFI outlet. He tested it before replacing it, and found that it was working, and showed us what we were doing wrong to reset it. He could have easily replaced it and charged us, and we wouldn't have known the difference. It is a pleasure finding honest contractors who show up on time. We wil definitely use them again!

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!

I called in iTech for yet another job to fox my kitchen line tripping.
They found the issue with the switch box and fixed them properly and found the root cause on over using 15 Amp line.
They know the stuff well.
I recommend them.

They said they'd have a technician call me a week ago about a doorbell transformer placement. That never happened.

I read these people as zero I scheduled online through Yelp app the appointment was confirmed based on their timeline my husband stayed home from work today to meet these people and no one ever showed up no one ever called me this is poor business practices and we would not recommend this service to no one

Very professional, knowledgeable, and handy. Affordable and well worth the money. CJ is so warm and charming. He came to check out the circuit breaker, his original job for coming to my home. Well I had a ring nest doorbell that had been sitting on my table for almost a year and CJ was more than happy to oblige me. Thank you CJ, you're the best. Will definitely be acquiring services from here on out. Gotta give a shout out to Pops as well. My motto now is One and Dunn!!!

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.

I hired them to install/replace lights for our landscaping and to brighten up the look of the house from the street.  We are very happy with the result and the service was excellent - timely, responsive, etc.  Would definitely use again.

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.

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.

Installed three replacement light fixtures.  Very responsive, competent and clean.  Very social and fun.  Price was very competitive.  His admin person, Bob was very customer friendly and kept us in the loop about scheduling.  Very strongly recommend this company.

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.
