Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

Solid spot, I've used them for both electrical and hvac service and they are on the higher end of cost/service. But if you need someone to actually show up when they say they will and do an honest, reasonable job, these guys are legit. You might pay a little more than another outfit, but not too much and well worth it imo.

Super responsive and helpful. Unfortunately was out of the area where Greg usually services but he still provided answers to questions and his expert opinion. Would highly recommend!!

Larry Sr. and his sons Larry Jr. and Ryan are helpful trustworthy electricians. I like to learn and they are happy to explain their work. They came to problem solve an electric circuit tripping the breaker and were very systematic going about their job. Great at thinking through all the possible causes and narrowing them down. They came twice, each time for about an hour to work on the issue but I was only charged one $150 fee. I'm extremely happy with their service and will call on them for future work.

I had an electric socket replaced and a line fixed in the bathroom. It took 30 minutes.

Great job.

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.

Tony did a great job and was a professional. I would recommend them for ceiling fan work like I had done for sure.

They grounded and updated the whole house in 2 days. Now we're safe thanks to FMJ. They are nice and reliable as well.

Fair pricing and great work! They came over inspected the work area and provided a quote within a day. Scheduling was a breeze and work was accomplish within the timeframe set by the contractor

CJ did an awesome job running new wiring from my panel to a new outlet for a sauna I am installing. He was attentive to detail, clean work, no damage to walls - looks like he was never here. Highly recommend for quality work at good price. Responded to me an completed the job in less than 24hrs from my first outreach.

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

Very proactive as they came out to service the day after I left a message. I would recommend them to anyone!

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.

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

I had a situation where my garage refrigerator stopped working all of a sudden and various outlets including the one for my sump pump and basement refrigerator stopped functioning as well. Could not figure it out so I searched for an electrician with great Yelp reviews to make an appointment. The Yelp reviews for Joel with Aratech Electrical Services seemed to stand out from the rest. I called around 8pm on Thursday expecting voice mail, however Joel answered the phone. I described my problem and he took his time to carefully explain what probably occurred and what to do to resolve the issue.
I searched all over for any GFCI outlets to reset but could not find any.
Finally remembered that the sump pump GFCI outlet was covered with a multi outlet cover and was able to reset the GFCI outlet and everything was working immediately! He certainly could have made a service call and charged me for something that I was able to remedy following his directions.
Hats off to Joel and Aratech for honesty and truly caring about people!!
I highly recommend Joel and Aratech!!!

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.
