Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

Gen3 Electric was such a great experience. Jose was extremely pleasant and thoroughly explained the options available to me. My electric stove had been giving me problems for the past few months and he explained what he thought it might be. A quote was sent to my e-mail address explaining the problem and the cost before any work was done too. No funny business here. He also diagnosed the problem quickly and it was resolved within a 1/2 hour. I will definitely tell others about my great experience with G3. Thanks again Jose!

GREAT guy! called him at 9PM for electrical work, first thing he did was walk be through the troubleshoot, asked basic questions, and gave me advice/estimates on what it would cost.

unfortunately greg wasnt able to come out to fix it due to being out of town, but was still very helpful by giving me contacts that can do emergency work

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.

TL;DR Professional electricians, clean work, timely and the right price

Background:

I collected at least 4 estimates from electricians for the work I needed. One electrician was eliminated because he suggested work that didn't need to get done and another electrician was eliminated because his quote was too low.

I was left with 2 quotes that were comparable in price, one of which was Jim's. It was a hard decision to make given I don't know much about electrical work. Yet, two things stood out to me: 1) Jim included a few optional services like getting a totally new panel. He didn't mandate it but suggested it. He also gave me some background information on how to decide whether to do it now or later. 2) When his electricians came out for a quote I had them look at some of the other things the other electricians pointed out. Again, they gave me all of the information I needed to make an informed decision.

I appreciate experts who help their customers understand what they are paying for. That builds trust and shows integrity in an industry that sometimes feels it's lacking that all around.

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!

Had iTech do a big job for me - they made it seem easy, and completed it within the schedule. They were a great company to work with, they kept me in the loop with everything and did quality work. I mostly worked with Tony and Edison, I will definitely be using them for my next jobs.

Maleik was excellent.  He was flexible with the scheduling and ensured that I understood the work that he was completing in my home.  I definitely recommend FMJ Electrical.

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.

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

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.

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.

I've had the pleasure to do business with M2E twice in the last 6 months. I had an electrical emergency back in July, quick response, immediately came out same day and performed top notch work at a reasonable hourly rate.

Today, M2E installed a new subpanel and EV charger for a electric vehicle that was recently ordered. Couldn't be happier with the quality of work. Even quickly fixed my Nest doorbell at no extra charge.

M2E has a customer for life

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.

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.
