Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

I received a text and email confirming Eric would arrive after 11 a.m. Took off work, called them midday to check on arrival. I was told the scheduler was at lunch and would call me back. About 4:45 p.m. a lady called and said sorry but no one would be arriving today. She offered to deduct $50 off my bill if I rescheduled. If a basic appointment cannot be kept, and the client isn't notified of the change until the end of the day...I will take my business elsewhere. Extremely disappointed.

GREAT guy! called him at 9PM for electrical work, first thing he did was walk be through the troubleshoot, asked basic questions, and gave me advice/estimates on what it would cost.

unfortunately greg wasnt able to come out to fix it due to being out of town, but was still very helpful by giving me contacts that can do emergency work

As a business owner for over 20 years I have seen a lot of self employed people come and go. What makes a good company survive while others flounder ??  A good product, a good price, and standout people that you can know and trust..

  I had used Lauterborn Electric once for a job (over a year ago) and I was happy with the upfront, honest and friendly way in which they presented a resolve to my issue. They did a good enough job that I referred them to a friend....who was happy that I did.

 I REALLY needed the Lauterborn Electricricians when I recently had a fire in my place of business. Larry Lauterborn answered his phone (which is a good indication of how their business is run) and he began to help that day with advice on what steps to take in my situation. They came out the next day with a quote for the repairs and when I agreed, they started the following day. I could blah blah blah you with all the details but I think you get where it's going.

 He has his 2 sons that work for him also and its nice to see that they are walking right in his footsteps. Kudos to you Larry, you are a good electrician and an even  better role model for your well mannered boys.
 

Can't speak highly enough about the company and I won't be calling anyone else for electrical work.

Mike from Jim and Sons came to us through a 'general contractor', and was the only bright spot of that experience.  He was knowledgeable, friendly, gave good suggestions, and did good work.  I would not hesitate to use Jim and Sons for any electrical project in the future.

Cannot say enough great things about Joe & JDV Electric!

I bought a 1300 square foot home that was basically a complete remodel. I needed all the old knob and tube wiring removed and the whole house rewired. Joe walked me through the entire process and did all of the rough wiring in less than a week. That was with added obstacles such as 2 other contractors in the way. Joe then allowed me the time I needed to get the other contractors up to speed (putting up drywall and Spackle). He came back in after that was done to finish the job as soon as I asked him to. He put in the best recessed lights, dimmers, ceiling fans for me as well as some custom lights that I had ordered from Wayfair.

I did not have to deal with the inspections group of Philadelphia at all. Joe organized everything and passed with flying colors. Joe's attention to detail and professionalism surpass anyone I have ever worked with. He continued to support me after the job was completed with answering questions and dropping of small tid bits that I had forgotten. This was my first renovation and I simply could not have done it without Joe! As a young woman, I have been taken advantage of by some contractors on this renovation, this did NOT happen with JDV Electric. Ladies, I cannot tell you how appreciative I was to have an honest worker in my home. Joe will put your mind at rest and do right by you.

Thank you again for everything, Joe!

Tony and Edison were great to work with. The specifics (in no particular order)
- Their prices were more than fair
- On their walk through, they suggested ways for us to save money. They suggested we try out less recessed lights than we thought we needed because less would provide enough lighting.
- We bought a ceiling fan for sale and found that it was missing a remote and they just went out and bought us the remote!
- They were incredibly responsive. I mainly communicated with them via the Yelp messenger and they would always respond to me within minutes/seconds
- The quality of their work is flawless.

They installed 4 ceiling fans, 1 pendant light, 6 recessed lights, and replaced 4 lights for us. Everything was great and I highly recommend working with them. We definitely will when we finish our basement . Thank you guys!!

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

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.

Very professional, knowledgeable, and handy. Affordable and well worth the money. CJ is so warm and charming. He came to check out the circuit breaker, his original job for coming to my home. Well I had a ring nest doorbell that had been sitting on my table for almost a year and CJ was more than happy to oblige me. Thank you CJ, you're the best. Will definitely be acquiring services from here on out. Gotta give a shout out to Pops as well. My motto now is One and Dunn!!!

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 & his team are great.  They were very fair and reasonable to work with.  I highly recommended them to several friends who also thought they were great.  I've worked with many Central NJ electricians over the past 25 years.  This company is by far the best for any size project.

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.

Had married 2 electric install a ceiling fan in my bedroom. My 100 year home posed some nuisances but the guys at married to electric were up to the challenge which included sawing out wood that had prevented the previous ceiling fan from being properly anchored . Prompt service. On time. Great guys

Joel did a fantastic job. He was able to fit me in quickly. He was on time and did the job as promised. Workmanship was top notch. I will use him again.
Thanks Joel!

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.
