Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

I have used GEN 3 for a handful of projects over the past few years and have always been impressed with their response time, affordability, and customer service. So, when I was thinking about upgrading my kitchen with undercabinet lighting, I went straight to them.
They were able to send someone to do a free in-home estimate within the week. I was happy to see Stan again; he had installed my new bathroom fans last year. I thought it was a nice touch on their part, sending the same person to maintain continuity. In addition to an estimate for the undercabinet lighting, he was able to do a walk through with me and allowed me to identify other areas I was thinking of upgrading to improve the appearance of my place (i.e. new hallway light fixtures and outlets/light switches). He had no problem with me adding additional tasks to the estimate, and never tried to upsell me. Stan got the estimate back to me that night.  And when I had questions, he promptly called me back and was patient with every single one. I also learned that Gen3 has a relationship with Wayfair in which their professional prices are available to us laypeople. While I did not end up using that service, Jess in the office was very helpful in describing how the process would work.
A week after the estimate, they were scheduled to come over and do the work. The day before they were due to arrive, I received a call that due to unanticipated circumstances Stan wouldn't be able to make it. I was a bit bummed because I thought that meant we would have to push back the project, but instead they said they would still be able to send someone to do the work. I was a little apprehensive since I was so comfortable with Stan, but the person at the office I spoke to (I regret I can't remember his name, he was very nice, like everyone else!) assured me that Stan had filled his replacement in on all the details.
Aaron, Cyrus, and Brandon arrived promptly the following morning. They were fantastic! Aaron was the lead, so he introduced himself and Cyrus and Brandon and then did a walk through with me so that we could confirm the work I wanted performed. As promised, he knew exactly what the game plan was - it was clear he took the time to review it with Stan. They divided and conquered; Cyrus and Brandon took on the fixtures and outlets, and Aaron tackled the undercabinet lighting. They were great about calling me over to show me interesting variants they encountered in the wiring of my apartment, and things they would need to do to get it up to code. Somehow it didn't occur to me that I should empty the cabinets prior to them coming, but Aaron was super nice about asking permission to move stuff around so that he could access what he needed to, and then put everything back exactly the way it was. When I had an odd-looking faceplate that they couldn't replace since it wasn't standard, Cyrus found me one online and showed me how I could replace it myself when it came in! After all the work was done (on time, which was appreciated) they cleaned up after themselves and Aaron took me through a final walk through. Everything looked great.
I continue to be very happy with Gen3. Look no further for your electrical needs!

I contacted Greg about my repairs, but,  unfortunately I am out of his service area. He did, however, respond to me with great advice and guidelines(which he didn't have to do) that I really needed. I followed them to the letter and can't thank Greg enough. With his help, I'm convinced I was able to find a very good electrician, whose not out to rob me.
Thanks Greg

I highly recommend Lauterborn Electric. They helped put the finishing touches on our home by installing a ceiling fan in our living area, a funky industrial light fixture over our kitchen island, a stunning chandelier over our dinning room table and a new light fixture outside in our patio. Thanks to their personal, care and touch; our home finally feels like home sweet home.

Excellent Communication! Arrived on time. Job well done. We will use this company again. Thank you.

Cannot say enough great things about Joe & JDV Electric!

I bought a 1300 square foot home that was basically a complete remodel. I needed all the old knob and tube wiring removed and the whole house rewired. Joe walked me through the entire process and did all of the rough wiring in less than a week. That was with added obstacles such as 2 other contractors in the way. Joe then allowed me the time I needed to get the other contractors up to speed (putting up drywall and Spackle). He came back in after that was done to finish the job as soon as I asked him to. He put in the best recessed lights, dimmers, ceiling fans for me as well as some custom lights that I had ordered from Wayfair.

I did not have to deal with the inspections group of Philadelphia at all. Joe organized everything and passed with flying colors. Joe's attention to detail and professionalism surpass anyone I have ever worked with. He continued to support me after the job was completed with answering questions and dropping of small tid bits that I had forgotten. This was my first renovation and I simply could not have done it without Joe! As a young woman, I have been taken advantage of by some contractors on this renovation, this did NOT happen with JDV Electric. Ladies, I cannot tell you how appreciative I was to have an honest worker in my home. Joe will put your mind at rest and do right by you.

Thank you again for everything, Joe!

I was very happy with the results of my electrical work IT technicians came in with masks and little booties to make sure I felt comfortable with them in my house. They  completed  two jobs as promised in a timely manner at a fair price.   They were professional informative and very kind. I would definitely hire them again. Thanks for the great work.

My Wife has been on my back for 2 years about this chest freezer we purchased but needed a dedicated electrical outlet line for before hooking it up. The freezer had been sitting due to the fact I was dreading looking for an Electrician to do the wiring. So many contractors waste your time by not responding, not showing up, inaccurate pricing, incomplete work, and of course shoddy workmanship. The research process in finding a contractor is very tedious because you want to avoid any of the above from becoming your reality. I am ecstatic, thankful, and joyous that my vetting process matched me with FMJ Electrical. Here's why:

Easy & Thorough Communication - I was able to submit my inquiry via yelp. We then spoke by phone to make sure all details and information was clear.

Fast Scheduling - Was able to fit me in the schedule upon talking to him.

Prompt - Contacted me the night before to remind me of the appointment. That showed me they valued not only my time, but also their time as well. Arrived on time the day of appointment and was ready to work.

Excellent Work - Flawlessly performed my new outlet installation. Ran it directly to the box inside the wall. Another quote I received from another provider would run it through tubing outside the wall and have the outlet external on top of the wall. FMJ did everything behind the wall and recessed the actual outlet. Also, the placement of the outlet was better than what I had imagined. I thought it would be higher up the wall for him to save time. He actually lowered more towards the ground which made less stress on the plug. Beautiful!

Price - I was quoted an excellent price for the work I needed done. Work was completed, I paid the bill, FMJ gets paid, my Wife stops nagging me, everyone wins!!!!

Bottom line......give FMJ Electrical a call or drop a line to them on Yelp if you want your electrical needs done right, at a great price, and on time!

I needed some minor electric work done at my house to get a U&O Permit.

While these guys did the work properly and were friendly enough, their rates appear to be made up on the spot, with no breakdown of cost, and are ridiculously high.

They wanted $150 just to put in a panel directory, and charged me $800 for relatively minor electrical work. I didn't know any better, and was just desperate to get the certification at the time, but even the inspector suggested I was ripped off at that rate.

..reply  to buisness response:

I asked for a breakdown of the cost at the time of the estimate, after finding out you guys wanted $150 for the directory, just to find out if there was something else I could take  out to DIY and save money. Your employee told me they don't have that, and it's just a general amount for the work in total.

If I knew you were charging $255 just to change a 20watt breaker to a 15w, I definitely  would have done that myself. Not sure why only after a bad review I'm
getting this breakdown, when I asked for it before.

I needed a home EV charging set up and FAST.  Charles was super responsive when I was looking to schedule an estimate (he came out the next morning), gave an excellent estimate, and was more than flexible with scheduling the work.
Initial contact Thursday afternoon, estimate Friday morning, and work completed Tuesday (Charles and Julian were willing to do the work on Friday morning, but I was shopping other estimates before making my decision).
The work was done exactly to the specifications, no mess left after work was completed, and he added in a clever receptable protector because he thought it would be good - at no additional cost.
Charles and Julian worked from 2:15-8:30 pm (!) and didn't leave until they were sure that my husband and I were satisfied and my car was charging.
I would highly recommend DunnMaster Electric for any electrical needs.
Charles is a motivated young man working hard to build his customer base, and he's gained a new one today!
Both Charles and Julian are personable, professional, and tuned in to their customer needs.
Highly recommend!!

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.

David came 10 minutes earlier that was originally estimated. With confidents and professionalism, the issue with the power outlets was resolved in very short time.
I will highly recommend  Princeton Electrical Makeover to anyone who cares about resolving any electrical issues with confidence. Great job. Thank you!

I can't say enough good things about Thomas Edison Electric. They are a very timely, professional and great company. I called later in the evening frantic when I found out that I would be responsible for having an electrical pole fixed on my dollar. Tom was very kind and understanding, he was upfront about the cost of an emergency call and coming out the next day, which isn't something you usually hear from companies when there's an emergency. The techs came out on time the next day while also calling in advance which was a nice courtesy. They performed the tasks necessary to fix the pole and also helped my father in law with the generator. My father in law spoke very highly of them and was so impressed by their honesty and commitment. It's rare to find quality companies that are professional like Edison.

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!

Excellent service! Fast professional and efficient. I would definitely use them again and recommend to my family and friends!

Joel and team were fantastic! Provided a quote within an hour of my initial inquiry, scheduled an appointment within 24 hours, showed up in a timely fashion, and completed the job with high quality at a very fair price.

What separates Joel and the team from others is their integrity. In my initial inquiry, he sent an idea to me for how to solve the issue without a service call. In addition, after completing the call, which was very quick, he significantly cut the invoice amount. For me, honest and integrity is just as important as the service provided, and Joel and his team provide both.

If you are looking for high quality, prompt, and high integrity service provider, hire Joel and his team! I sure will hire them for all future electric needs.

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.
