Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

Jeffrey W & Gordon C  were great! I'm in the process of selling my home in south Philadelphia and had a couple set backs when came time for inspection... it's been tricky to schedule anything because I  currently live 80+ miles away! With that being said these guys came out within days of me calling them. They were very informative and were Incredibly responsive, trustworthy and friendly. They took care of everything without me being present which helped tremendously! They were sure to call before, during, and after each visit! I recommend these guys x10!! Thanks so much!

I highly recommend Greg if you're in need of an electrician.  He is friendly, honest, dependable and accessible.  He was able to provide a rough estimate over the phone and then actually charged me the lower end of that estimate....after going above and beyond to help me while onsite.  Very glad I read his previous reviews because they were spot on.

This review is slightly late but does not change my impression of Larry and his team.

Lauterborn completed a 200 amp upgrade as well as a variety of additional services for me. Larry and his sons were communicative, on-time, and professional. He was priced slightly higher (under 5%) than two other competitors, but I would hands down go with the experience these guys bring to the table. They are my go-to electricians moving forward.

Thank you, Larry and sons!

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

I have several rental properties and have used a lot of electricians over the years. I don't have to look any further. Jdv Electric nailed it. What a good job Anthony did. I absolutely have no reason to call anyone else for my electrical work. You were the one thanks again jdv Larry

Tony responded my request very quickly and gave me clear estimate. His team, Edison was so great and thoughtfully checked every small stuff. I strongly recommend this company!!

While I didn't hire them, I found them to be very thorough in the repair explanation, extremely responsive from the first call and the written estimate very thorough. I am postponing the repair.

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 had surgery and bending is almost impossible. I needed to move 3 outlets to waist height to put them in reach. I  looked at several prices and Dunn Master was very fair. He is starting a new business, although he has lots of experience. He and his assistant were able to install 3 outlets immediately before the holidays. I thought one outlet was difficult to plug in, so I called them back, and they came the next day. There was no problem; I just was afraid to push.
They were not only  excellent electricians, they were very respectful. They showed me a license and insurance, wore covers on their shoes, and cleaned up plaster work, like they were never here. They fixed a stuck garbage disposal and put in a wedge to reposition my Ring doorbell; gratis. They gave me a three year warranty on the work.
I would hire them again in a minute.

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

Responded to inquiry for estimate of replacing ceiling fan in timely manner,  easy to work with in coordinating appointment, professional and efficient work. Safety precautions taken during pandemic time without being asked- wore mask in our home, kept distance when communicating with us. Appreciate he also wore shoe covers as respect for our floors. Quality work done. Will use them again for future work needs.

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, the owner I believe, was responsive to my initial request for a quote, and came out to the house to provide the quote - when it was convenient for US.  He was professional, polite, and willingly answered our many questions.  He provided a fair reasonably priced quote (more than reasonable), and did the work about a month ago - installing electric baseboard heaters in the finished basement, where the parents moved in.  They did an impeccable job, left the place as clean or cleaner, and it looks and feels great.  I waited to write the review to make sure everything was working properly, and it certainly is.  I will use Married 2 Electric for future projects I have planned.

Joel and his team are highly knowledgeable, communicative, respectful, and price their work competitively. They even offered ways to reduce the cost of our job. We had them install a 240v outlet in the garage for an EV charger, a 240v forced air heater in the basement, along with a couple other smaller jobs. They identified and fixed an unrelated safety issue with our electrical panel while they were at it. Working with them has been one of the most pleasant contractor experiences in years. I feel that they gave our home the same attention to detail they would give to their own. I highly recommend Aratech services to anyone looking to hire an electrician.

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.
