Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

This review is written 1 week after the installation, and so far so good.  Gen3's team of Josh, Jim, and Jeffrey installed a 10 head, 3 condenser Mitsubishi mini split system in our home, as we had no AC before.

They were very professional and hard working, taking about 2 weeks to complete the large job.  They cleaned up after themselves very well.

They were also the lowest quote we got at $33K, as the next highest was $36K, so certainly not cheap, but nothing in the Lower Merion area is.

One gripe I would echo with other reviewers, is their quotes are often quickly done and contain errors, so you have to make sure that the model #s and such are what you discussed and want.

I'd definitely recommend giving them a call for your electrical/AC/heating needs.  I'll post an updated review if anything changes.

I found Greg on Yelp and decided to contact him due to all the 5 stars reviews.  I needed a technician to fix a circuit breaker issue that my tenants are experiencing in one of my rental units in Philly.  Greg responded immediately and offered to pay an initial visit to assess the circuit problem.  I work in NYC so I couldn't be present during his first visit, but Greg informed me that he's used to coordinating with tenants directly.   Greg coordinated the visit without my involvement (which was great) and figured out the issue right away.  Greg, in plain English, explained the problem to me over the phone and presented me with a few options in a later email (with a recommendation on what's the practical and right fix).  

I love Greg's transparency during the entire process (how he works, his pricing and scope of work) and his accessibility (via phone, text or email).  His end product is very thorough and clean.   I even threw in a side job at him that wasn't part of the original scope (switch out an old outdoor light with a new one with photocell).

All in all, the job was done perfectly from start to finish.  What I value is his timely responses and accessibility.  Being a landlord, the most important thing I value from any service provider is reliability and dependability.   Greg has that.  I will absolutely use Greg again for my other rental properties.   I would recommend Greg to anyone (particularly landlords) who's looking for a good technician/electrician in the Philadelphia area.

We used the guys at Lauterborn Electric for rewiring during a kitchen remodel.  The prior homeowners had some interesting ideas on how electric works, but Larry and his team addressed everything and did a great job rewiring and getting everything up to code for the remodel.  They went over the top to make sure we were satisfied and were extremely thorough.  Most importantly, I feel confident that the work was done correctly, is safe and won't cause me problems down the line.  

I would highly recommend Larry and the team for whatever job, big or small.

Jim and his crew have done quite a bit of work for us in the last year. They're always fairly priced, organized, on time, and very professional. We're going to continue to rely on Jim for more work. Thanks!!

I don't hire contractors often. When I do I'm extremely particular and critical. JDV did excellent work. Great pricing. Courteous. Clean. If ever I need an electrician again. I will surely call.

I am so glad that I contacted iTech Electric! Tony responded to my request for a free estimate to replace my entrance service wire and to update my fuse box. Edison and Tony provided excellent service. They were prompt, professional, knowledgeable and really showed a passion for their work. Their passion and honesty is a rare find. I highly recommend iTech Electric and really wish I would've met Tony and Edison sooner - they are an amazing team! Thank you again!

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.

Let just start with GE Electrical Services saved the day......Monday 20, 2020 we were doing a small plumbing job that just consist of adding shut off vales....unknowing to us the water dripped down in the basement and got on wires that were old, rusted and exposed. It cause half of our building to go out and start an electrical spark, we thought as we smelled the burnt wires. We had to think fast and called several electrical companies and did not have any luck, mind you this was on MLK holiday at 6:30 at night. I looked on Yelp and came across GE Electrical Services and our Hero Edmond the service manager answered the phone and said he would be right over. He stated it would only take him 20 min to arrive and once he did he kicked right into action, he identified the issue and stated that there was a fire in the wall. He worked quickly to cut the power to the dangerous old, rusted and exposed wires to ensure safety. He also let us know that 3 new lines would have to be ran and that he would email us the cost and schedule us for his next appointment Wednesday 22, 2020. Edmond and his company GE Electrical Services came and got the job done very professional and friendly. The services they provided , excellent customer service and reasonable prices I would recommend them to all and will be using them for any future services. Thanks GE Electrical Services You Rock!!!

CJ and his team are thorough, hardworking, communicative and courteous. I needed to have my 100+ year-old home completely rewired from knob and tube electric. CJ met with me, explained the process, presented his credentials, and answered my questions. He was able to get the job done faster and less expensive than other quotes, without sacrificing quality. CJ and his team went above and beyond in multiple respects, were flexible to meeting requests during the process, and frequently communicated and proved their dedication to customer service and excellence in performance. Would definitely recommend using DunnMaster Electric for any electrical needs!

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 and his team did a great job with getting Tesla wall connector installed in my garage. Estimate provided was exact cost and they were on time and completed everything they proposed.

Thanks Alex!

Service was fast and the electrician was knowledgeable and thorough in diagnosing and resolving several wiring issues in my older home.

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!

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!!!

I had been saving up a bunch of work for Joel this year. Gave him the laundry list and scheduled a day for him and Jay to swing by. They had already done the kitchen reno, a bunch of smart lighting and controls, and camera installations for us last year.

This year it was ceiling fans, additional smart lighting controls, new lighting fixtures, and to troubleshoot a problematic camera.

Not only was the work done efficiently, but the new lighting fixtures look like they were always there. He also considered the camera troubleshooting warranty work although it turned out to be a manufacturer issue to their satisfaction. Above and beyond.

As long as Joel is in business, we'll continue to use him for our electrical 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.
