Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

I don't know where to start... First and foremost. THANK YOU!  I had a very large water loss / damage to 3 floor of my home.  From the initial phone call with Chad to get an emergency electrician out within a half hour and assuring me that James would come to set up an emergency 230 line for the restoration company.  James was AMAZING and worked to re-assure me my home was safe.  I was impressed with his diligence and keen eye to detail and his friendly manner.  When you are in a crisis situation, you need reliable, professionals.  I understand why Gen3 is rated top #1 for Electricians in the Philadelphia area.

Andrew followed up with me to check on my satisfaction over that weekend. I thought that was very nice of him to call me and talk me through the next phase.  

I needed to delay the job due to other work that was not completed and Gen3 had no problems with moving my install date.

I had numerous e-mails with Dottie with respect to replacing my panel and main box as well as GFI's.   I did not have to worry about anything.  Dottie took care of the permit with the township and provided me with all the necessary information.

I found it most impressive that I received a reminder e-mail from Andrew stating my electrician assigned was Kevin and gave me an accurate time frame.  It was nice to click the button to confirm and see a picture / face of who would be coming to my home.

The day of the job Kevin phoned me and stated that he was on his way and and me a time frame of arrival.  

When Kevin arrived and walked into my home the FIRST WORDS he said were I'm sorry you are going through this.  The visual damages were apparent, however, for Kevin to sympathize and show empathy with my situation and stress level was most appreciated and above professional- you don't find that in most people.

Kevin took time to speak with my general contractor  and myself about the work that would be performed.  I respected and appreciated he spoke to me before just getting out his tool box.  Kevin is a TOP NOTCH electrician. He was able to trouble shoot and did not stop till everything was PERFECT.  I understand why Gen3 is rated number one.  

Kevin came with Pat who was his assistant. Pat was respectful and diligent and they worked very well together.  Pat took the time to check EVERY outlet and be sure that everything was working properly. He even changed out a GFI as it did not test correctly.

In the end I'm most thankful for not only the empathy to my situation but to the professional service, the details to the job and the diligence for making sure that everything was PERFECT.

I can not thank you all enough. When you experience a large loss and your faced with a crisis it's difficult to navigate through all the in's and out's.  Kevin and Pat I thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my home safe again for my son and me, for your sincere and thoughtful kind words and for the stellar work.  

Respectfully Submitted.

Greg is just awesome. I sent a yelp question requesting a quote and he replied that though he doesn't operate in my borough, he was kind enough to provide me a lot of details about what could be going on with my electric panel. He also suggested sending him pictures of the panel so he could provide more guidance. He also provided rough estimates of what it would cost to add a panel or replace the panel. This is so refreshing in this day and age, when no one wants to provide any support unless there is a payback. Greg is part of a rare and almost extinct breed and I am sure his on-site service will be top notch if his remote deductive skills are so good!!!

There are not enough ways to articulate just how good of a job this crew does. Larry and his guys installed a 120 volt outlet in my garage, that draws electricity directly from my condo unit, so that I may charge my motorcycle batteries. It was fairly labor intensive, with a lot of concrete to drill through, and they knocked it out flawlessly, in no time flat. Their prices are fair, the work is clean, they're all personable, and they promptly scheduled a date and time that worked for me (immediately following the gratis quote they came out and performed).

Excellent customer service and communication!!  Jim was so helpful to our family during the entire process.  He sincerely wanted to help keep costs down and was flexible when we wanted additional services.  I will refer Jim & Sons Electric to my family and friends and I highly recommend their services.  The scheduling went smoothly and the work was done at the appointed time.  The areas were cleaned up after the job was done.  Thanks so much for your help Jim and we'll see you in few months for additional jobs.

When the kitchen lights flickered on their own I knew it was either paranormal or an electrical problem.  Three electricians diagnosed moisture in the panel causing erosion and faults.   I knew I was in for a hefty contractor's bill but didn't realize how much of a problem this was or how much work they'd have to do.  

The recommendation was for a new panel as well as removing one of PECO's outside meters and putting the load onto the other.  

I chose JDV for a few reasons.  Their prices were a bit more reasonable on the panel and theirs included whole house surge protection system, and updated my main grounding system.  

In talking to Anthony, the sales person also the installer, I explained my frustration at frequent power outages. Anthony recommended an outlet at the side of the house so I could hook up a 30 amp generator directly to the panel box.  This was a recommendation no other company gave and because helped me with a problem I went with JDV.  

The team of three installed;
Premium 200 AMP Panel Package * Outside service cable & meter socket * 200 AMP Panel - full copper buss bar * Whole house surge protection system * Update main grounding system * Label all circuits, took the outside main PECO meter apart and replaced all the wires, cleaned it's corrosion, and put silicone all around the joints to prevent further moisture from getting into it and down into the house's panel.  

Now, the cost wasn't cheap.  And, bottom line, the work is clean and I found they worked well together as a team, very professional.

Top notch electricians, I am so pleased.  Tony came out promptly and on a Saturday due to my work schedule.  It turns out my problem was very minor due to a plug not being secure, and he didn't end up charging me for the visit, which I thought was beyond gracious, given that Tony still spent his time coming.  He also educated me a lot on the house wiring.  I would absolutely recommend them a million percent!

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.

Edmond was a pleasure to work with from the quick response to my inquiry, a fair quote for the work, and finally the scheduling and completion of the work. Looking forward to working again with Edmond and his Team.

Excellent Craftsmanship, superb attention to detail and arrived earlier than expected.  Great Company!
I'll be referring to all in need of a excellent electrician.  Thanks Again Mr. Dunn job well done!

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

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.

Alex was great! He was nice, patient, reasonably priced, and efficient. It was very clear that he knows what he is doing and takes the time to explain some things about the electrical wiring in your house, if you're interested. I will definitely use him 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.

We got quite a few estimates for rewiring our home and installing lights and a ceiling fan. Married 2 Electric was the easiest to understand and most well-explained estimate we got. Rod was fantastic and really put us at ease as we were concerned with the complexity of our project. They knocked it out of the park. Always on time, always professional, and always a pleasure to be around. We had to be in our home while work was being done and they were extremely thoughtful the entire time. I can't recommend the Married 2 Electric team enough. Fantastic work.

Excellent service experience with Joel and Aratech Services.  We had 3 hard wired smoke detectors replaced and an outlet installed.  From my initial call to set up the appointment to the final installation, everything was perfect.  Joel and his assistant were professional and personable.  Work was done quickly and neatly.  Joel proactively explained the safety features of the new outlets and ensured that we had directions for the new smoke detectors.  Before leaving he took the time to answer and questions and explain the bill.  I definitely recommend Joel and Aratech Services.

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.
