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.

I am leaving 5 starts for how responsive and respectful Mr. Avakian was to my inquiry.  His service area is extremely limited; basically only West Philadelphia and immediately adjacent neighborhoods.  (I live in Philadelphia, but approximately 20-25 minutes away in the Northwest.)  He promptly and pleasantly responded to me, and I would have been very interested in hiring him if he was available.  Thanks!

Took me awhile, but finally got to say how much we enjoyed having Larry and his guys Larry and Ryan working on our renovation (two bathrooms from the ground up, and some other smaller jobs). They did it all, with professionalism and aplomb! Most of all, they were here when we needed them to help our tile guys out when it came time to hook up the heated flooring. Highly recommended; we now consider them our house electricians. And there is bonus, great chit-chat on everything Philly sports and a variety of topics. Not sure who talks more, Larry or me! Call it a draw (Larry might disagree).

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 and his team are SO amazing. Very prompt, respectful and do amazing work. They installed a 35lb/3ft chandelier in my 20ft foyer, mounted a 65 TV and hung a very large mirror perfectly. They were flexible to my changing needs.  I am looking forward to hiring them for future tasks! Thank you for being fantastic.

I highly recommend FMJ electrical.  I called them Monday to install a wire from ceiling fan to  power outlet near the floor.  Next day technician arrived on time to estimate cost and do the job. It was made complicated because the wire had to traverse an air duct.  Mike estimated the cost of the job on the spot and I am very happy that he used an estimating book and gave me a great price. Took him two hours to install wire and patch the five holes he had to make.  Mike did a perfect job.  I will definitely use them again.

Edmond was a pleasure to work with from the quick response to my inquiry, a fair quote for the work, and finally the scheduling and completion of the work. Looking forward to working again with Edmond and his Team.

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

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.

Service was efficient and thorough. They also took care to ensure adequate permits were issued from the township prior to the work being scheduled.

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.

The only electricians I will use. Incredibly friendly team, always timely and reliable service.

Joel and team were fantastic! Provided a quote within an hour of my initial inquiry, scheduled an appointment within 24 hours, showed up in a timely fashion, and completed the job with high quality at a very fair price.

What separates Joel and the team from others is their integrity. In my initial inquiry, he sent an idea to me for how to solve the issue without a service call. In addition, after completing the call, which was very quick, he significantly cut the invoice amount. For me, honest and integrity is just as important as the service provided, and Joel and his team provide both.

If you are looking for high quality, prompt, and high integrity service provider, hire Joel and his team! I sure will hire them for all future electric 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.
