Chad came out to my home to provide me with a professional estimate and Joshua and David performed the work. Despite the weather working against them, their timing was perfect. During the day, Chad came by for a visit and solidified my positive thoughts about the company.
While Joshua and David were hard at work, PECO decided to pop in to switch out the meters in the neighborhood and Generation 3 again showed their worth by being a team player and working with PECO so their technician could get the meter changed out and onto they'd next house.

Great job Generation 3 Electric! I will always use you guys and spread the word!

I called Greg for the first time on Super Bowl Sunday about hall lights not working. He came and fixed the problem that night! He charged very little and is very accessible. He will be my BEF (Best Electrician Forever).

My PC is on the 2nd floor and my router on the 1st floor so I had them wire some cat 6 cable behind the walls from floor to floor with RJ-45 jacks at the ends. They did a great job, making only one small hole that they patched up and is barely visible even without painting it yet. They also did a nice job on running the cable through the basement, stapling it up very cleanly. The guys were really nice and easy to work with. I'm very pleased with the job they did and would definitely hire them again.

These guys are great! They've done multiple jobs for my home and business. They are friendly and reasonably priced. Definitely my go-to for any electrical work!

Wow. I always use reviews to help decide who to hire. Google has so many more for JDV and when I came here to review them I was shocked at the 2 bad reviews. Seems 1 person is dissatisfied and had no work done and the other is upset over a price he agreed to pay.

I'm here to say otherwise. Was JDV the lowest quote. No. But a HIGH recommendation from a friend and I thank my friend for it. You get what you pay for. I got excellent work from knowledgable, friendly and courteous staff who did a phenomenal job. Won't be worried that my house will burn down with my new panel and service. Plus the quality of the panel and breakers with a built in surge protector and arc fault breakers. I feel safe. And all of the wiring was identified and labeled correctly. Thank you JDV I will be recommending you to friends and family.

horrible...they gave a $25 to find out what is wrong...checked circuit breaker...then called and asked for $185 to see what is wrong...i would not offer my credit card so they said they can't stay and left for another job they said their boss wants them to go to...

Like the man said, best prices and quick service, needed work done and he was here same day. Quick response and the technician kept me updated on his route! Go ahead call them for a quote!

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.

They were super responsive and timely. They explained everything including sending me a solution to an additional project I was considering in the future. Everything was done well.

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.

Great experience. Showed up in a mask, had feet coverings. He was professional and easy to communicate with. He did not cheat you of any time and made sure he did a good job and everything was working well before leaving. Highly recommend!

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.

The Yelp community came through again! I used the message a project Yelp function to EP Electric for an outdoor electrical outlet problem. EP Electric responded within the time they said they would, and then called when scheduled two days later for a consultation.

I gave another description of the problem, and Andi informed me of the initial cost to come out and advised me of the Yelp coupon which I had known about. Anything above that cost would be discussed before the work would be done.

I made an appointment to have EP Electric come out, and Andi and his assistant showed up as scheduled. His communication beforehand to come to my house also was very good.

Fortunately for me, my problem was easy for Andi to resolve and the breaker only needed replacing. The whole thing was done in less than 30 minutes right before a super-drenching downpour. Good thing since it was an outdoor plug problem!

I'd highly recommend EP Electric. Very good communication and quick service. The right way to do business.

Rodney and Ramon did an EXCELLENT job! Had them instal 4 recessed lights, dimmer switch, regular switch, and wires ran for a ceiling fan, switch, and instal a box.
I don't know how he did it without treating out drywall to run the wires, but he did.
Him and Ramon were very thorough, and clean.
I'm a very very picky person, and they exceeded my expectations!
They were also on time too!
Thank you again! I will not hesitate to use Married 2 Electric again, or to refer them to others!
Keep up the great work guys!!!

Installed three replacement light fixtures.  Very responsive, competent and clean.  Very social and fun.  Price was very competitive.  His admin person, Bob was very customer friendly and kept us in the loop about scheduling.  Very strongly recommend this company.

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.
