Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

All the Gen3 technicians I've encountered (at least 4) are professional, friendly, and very skilled. They were recommended to me by one of my neighbors when I needed some electrical work done and WOW they do a terrific job.

I've since used them for repairs and upgrade projects and my experience is consistently very positive. When my house has an electrical problem I don't panic because I know Gen3 will be pleasant, thorough, and quick!

Although Greg currently had too much of a backlog to assist me in the timeframe I needed(2days), he asked me about what I needed and provided me with another electricians number that may be able to help. It was pretty clear that Greg was on a job, and knew I was not going to be able to work with him, but he still took the time to help me out.  That is unusual for a great many Philly contractors.  Thanks Greg.

Larry and his crew just completed rewiring my house and bringing it up to code, and installed lighting as well.  There were the consummate professionals, immediately putting me at ease and they did a fantastic job for a very good value.  I would recommend them enthusiastically for any electrical job that you have!

Jim & Sons did a variety of electrical work including installing a dedicated line for a bedroom, and building/wiring a new bathroom exhaust vent unit in an aging house. Prices were very reasonable and were laid out in a very thorough estimate.
On the day the work was done, the electricians showed up on time, and went through everything to make sure it was up to my expectations
Will definitely use them again for any further electrical needs!

Joe was easy to work with, came prepared for my condo building's insurance rules and did a great job. I have used a lot of contractors in my home and JDV was efficient and by far the cleanest.

Edison and Tony arrived on time.  They were professional and successfully fixed three issues my 90 yr-old mother was having in her house, thoroughly explaining everything that they found and were going to do.  I feel they were a little pricey for the work done, but it was worth feeling confident that the jobs were done right.

very professional , honest service
no hidden surprises with pricing
very pleased and would use again and recommend

I read these people as zero I scheduled online through Yelp app the appointment was confirmed based on their timeline my husband stayed home from work today to meet these people and no one ever showed up no one ever called me this is poor business practices and we would not recommend this service to no one

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

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.

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.

I was happy with the work done by EP Electric; they were very responsive in December when I needed 2 outdoor outlets replaced. They came within a day of the request sent to several electricians.  While at my house I asked for an estimate to have some switches changed to dimmers. The next time I needed an electrician was to change out some light fixtures. Again, EP Electric was pretty responsive and available in my timeframe. Since I had used them before, I was comfortable having them come out. When that job was complete, I again discussed the dimmers I wanted and we discussed when I wanted to get the work done.  We are working on a schedule for this week and I think it will really add to the ambiance of my house. Looking forward to it.

I had these guys out to my house for several jobs. They are always nice, competent and efficient. This last visit the man put in 3 hard wired smoke detectors, identified which breaker they were on, put in a light switch and provided and estimate in under an hour. He also went through and put dates on all the detectors so I'd know when to change them again. Just fabulous people and have already recommended them to others.

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.
