Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

Professional, courteous and skilled! A little on the pricey side, but I don't mind paying for quality work and the peace of mind that everything was done right.

Greg is very polite and will explain to you what he's doing. His rates are extremely reasonable. I asked him for a quote and the job ended up being cheaper because I didn't need some things. Would definitely use Greg's services again.

Lauterborn Electric was great to work with!  They worked with my hectic schedule and were able to get my job done within a week of contacting them. They were on time, completed the job as planned, cleaned up afterwards, and even charged me less than their quoted price! On top of all that, Larry and his son were very personable which made the project fun. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing electrical work done.

I had some ceiling fans installed and a panel upgrade done. Jim came to my home himself and gave an estimate. He made the drawing of the work and applied for the permit. On the day of the job, Jim was not present, in fact no one present was a licensed electrician (which I found alarming but apparently this is common practice). The work was done in a timely fashion and the price was reasonable. A switch needed to be moved, requiring some sheetrock work, the quality of which was mediocre at best (I had to re-spackle and re-sand it) however the electrical work was good quality. The team was professional and friendly.

We've had JDV come out twice - to rewire some switches, install a couple of lamps, and add outlets to the basement. Both times we had great experiences, and the prices were fair. We'd definitely call them again.

Last summer we bought an old house with knob and tube wiring requiring our entire home to be rewired. After receiving about 5 quotes we chose iTech because of their professionalism and upfront explanation of everything. This was our smoothest home improvement project so far, they are excellent. We have recommended them to several family members and will continue to do so!

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.

I received several quotes for a 240 V hook up for a new hot tub. GE electric was the best value. Edmond and two helpers showed up on time at 8:30 in the morning. They ran into an unforeseen obstacle with the slab which extended the job by half a day. The finished product is very professional and works perfectly. Edmond did not try to get more money for the added time nor did I hear any grumblings from any of them. They were a pleasure to work with and I will keep them in my contacts for future business. I highly recommend GE electric.

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

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.

I hired them to install/replace lights for our landscaping and to brighten up the look of the house from the street.  We are very happy with the result and the service was excellent - timely, responsive, etc.  Would definitely use again.

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

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 and his team just finished upgrading my electric panel to a 200amp and some other electrical items I needed done around the house. I called Rod about coming out for an estimate and within a week the work was done. Everything took a day and the team was very communicative in terms of letting me know how things were going. The quality of the work was superb and I intend to hire them on all future work in regards to electrical. If you want electricians who are quick, responsive and honest, this is the way to go.

I just moved into the Furlong area from Manhattan. Don't know anyone here. I looked up reviews of various electricians but they were either expensive or had bad reviews. One fellow from another company came out and gave me a high estimate. I was looking for someone to put in two receptacles on its own 15 amp breaker in the basement and run a Cat 6 ethernet line there as well.  Plus change the ends of three phone connectors in my home to Ethernet as Cat 5E wiring was already in place.

After getting some high prices I finally found Joel who owns Aratechservices.  He didn't have any reviews on Yelp (though there were some hidden reviews blocked by their bot) but he did have some on Google. They were all good. So I called Joel and he talked with me for a bit, not making me feel rushed. I explained to him what I wanted to do. Being in the IT business I had some ideas what this should cost. He said best for him to come out, see everything to give a more accurate estimate. We made an appointment a few days later and he arrived exactly on time.  Went over some different plans, he listened to my thoughts and he had some good ideas as well and I was happy to the costs involved.  But he said he would send over an estimate that evening so I could see the prices for everything.

Sure enough that estimate arrived by evening and it was professionally displayed with every line item detailed and the plan explained. There was a place where I could modify the plan or accept as is. I chose to modify slightly our idea and he agreed and kept it at the same price even though it required some more time on his behalf.

Joel arrived couple days later with his assistant Tim and immediately began running the electrical line to the basement. I was right away impressed as his assistant held a vacuum to collect all the debris! They routed the line through conduit that was the shortest and cleanest route they could find. Had to cut a square into the basement ceiling for access. Then they ran the CAT 6. Same attention to detail to drop it down. Capped it off with a two gang plate with two receptacles and an ethernet jack.  While he was doing this part he said he could easily install two electrical receptacles in the garage that could be handy in the future. At NO additional cost. I said sure lets do it and was very happy about that.

Joel then moved on to the router side where we were going to take three ethernet outputs and run it to Verizon punch down block so I could get ethernet in the three other rooms. But then we had a thought. Since he just provided two ac receptacles near the Verizon box how about we put a 5 port ethernet switch right inside and then we only need one ethernet coming out of the router. I had a few switches being in the computer business. This would cut down running two other lines and make the whole thing easier. Joel agreed and now we had a better setup. After this was completed he terminated the three phone lines with ethernet jacks and we tested all of them by doing a speed test. Sure enough I was getting 1 Gig to all locations as I have 1 Gig coming from the Fios router.  He also had his voltage/electrical meter on the new ac line the whole time testing as well.

At this point everything was done other then cleanup.  I noticed Tim was no longer around. The only thing I was concerned about was that square hole in the basement ceiling. Was he going to cover that?  I didn't say anything to Joel to see what would happen. Then I mentioned Where is Tim? Is he all done as I wanted to say goodbye and thank him with a tip.  That's when Joel said he sent him to Home Depot as he did not have a cover for the basement ceiling. Sure enough Tim arrived back ten minutes later with the cover and they installed it.  As they were leaving (after 5 hours of solid work) I asked Joel about payment and he said he would send the bill electronically and I could pay using Paypal. He must have been busy that night or tired as I didn't receive until the next night.  To cap it all off he actually reduced the price of the original estimate. Since we changed the plan by putting in the switch he didn't need as many parts and time to complete the job. He passed those savings on to me and I immediately sent payment!

All in all I am extremely satisfied with the work Joel and Tim from Aratechservices performed. They are super professional. Highly recommend for any 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.
