Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

Just wanted to note I had HVAC crew come out and they were wonderful too. Very knowledgeable and patient.

I also had another electrical job, this time Dave came out and he was exceptional. Very professional, friendly, and conscientious. Got the job done and was very tidy!

Big big fan of Gen3!

I called Greg based on Anahid's review. I needed a meter box replaced outside of my apartment, which is a big job. Generation 3 electric quoted me at $1100. I called Greg out of the blue, and he came out and got the job done for me THE NEXT DAY for $600. He was professional and courteous. I highly recommend him for any electrical work you may need, big or small. You can also rest assured, because all his work is guaranteed forever. If you're rich, call Generation 3. If you're not, give Greg a call. The job will be done just as well for half the price.

I highly recommend Lauterborn Electric.  I recently had Larry and Ryan at my house to work on a long list of electric projects and they did an amazing job.  I bought a chandelier to be installed and it came with over 100 pieces.  I was so impressed at how easily they were able to install and put together the chandelier.  They did a great job and they are reasonably priced and very professional.

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

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.

My experience from start to finish with iTech has been an excellent one. Tony is quick to respond to calls/texts, and his crew shows up promptly as well. The work they did in my home - adding recessed lighting, ceiling fans, a car charger, etc - exceeded my expectations. Edison was the head electrician onsite; he is very knowledgeable, and also a nice guy as well.

Overall, I'd highly recommend iTech to friends and family, as well as folks here.

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

I work as a Building Supervisor for a non-profit in Camden, so GE Eletrical's prices and rates are great Divija is professional, reliable, does great work,  and is great at communicating and being flexible. I will definitely be reaching out to him again for contract work.

CJ and his team are thorough, hardworking, communicative and courteous. I needed to have my 100+ year-old home completely rewired from knob and tube electric. CJ met with me, explained the process, presented his credentials, and answered my questions. He was able to get the job done faster and less expensive than other quotes, without sacrificing quality. CJ and his team went above and beyond in multiple respects, were flexible to meeting requests during the process, and frequently communicated and proved their dedication to customer service and excellence in performance. Would definitely recommend using DunnMaster Electric for any electrical needs!

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

Very proactive as they came out to service the day after I left a message. I would recommend them to anyone!

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 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 had a great experience with Joel.  We had two separate jobs a week apart.  Both were done very well and he even saved me money with recommendations.  Joel is very pleasant to work with and I would definitely hire him again.

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!
