Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

I've used Generation 3 Electricians close to 6 times now, and my experience is such that I would not use any other company for my electrical needs.  Today I had James come to my house to check on a small problem.  He had been out another time to install timers for my outdoor front and back  lights - so worth doing!  Today, he explained how I could check the problem myself next time using my electrical panel (duh - okay, I'm a girl and I'm learning).  He also inspected another issue I had.  As in the past, he was friendly, extremely knowledgeable, courteous, and professional.  I wasn't charged today but the company is fair in their pricing and will listen to their customers, adjusting if need be.
I wish other companies were this consumer driven. They do it right.

A high-end contractor friend recommended Greg when we had a small electrical problem; Greg wasn't available to come to our house but he gave me detailed instructions about how to troubleshoot on my own, gave me additional advice after I texted him photos, and spent a long time on the phone with me diagnosing the problem. All for free! He was knowledgable, friendly, and generous with his time and knowledge. He'll be the first electrician I call next time I have a problem.

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.

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.

I was having issues in my house where appliances were turning off during operation and lights were flickering.

A google search indicated that this could be a fire hazard.  I called my usual electrician and waited.  After several hours of waiting and never hearing anything back I called four other electricians and didn't hear a single thing from any of them either.

I reached out to my plumber and asked for a recommendation -- he recommended JDV and they called me within a few minutes of me reaching out.  The woman on the phone was extremely polite and helpful and let me know someone could come out that same day.  She even called me prior to their arrival so I would have an idea when they would be here.

Joe was on-site and diagnosed the issue.  He was able to diagnose my problem quickly and was able to do the repairs the same week (permits were required so he had to come back).

Overall I am extremely happy with JDV -- I already recommended them to family members and will be using them for more work within the next few months.  You can't go wrong with JDV!

ITech were awesome.  They replaced my breaker box.  They were extremely nice, knowledgeable and did a first class job.

I would recommend them to my mom.

The experience with FMJ Electrical was exceptional from the start. A wonderful person answering the phone, smart and efficient. It was an emergency and they arrived so fast. Frank was very professional , his shirt was so clean and pressed. First impressions are everything! Frank and his crew fixed the electrical service in hours. His crew was well prepared, qualified and knowledgeable and they also recommended a inspector to come out to do a complete inspection for PECO. Everyone is so personable. Work ethics are top notch!!! I will definitely make use of their services again and will highly recommend. I was so impressed with the professionalism and level of expertise. Call them first!

I contacted GE Electrical Services after a bad electrician wired my house completely wrong. Edmond gave me a fair price to correct all the issue. His team does not cut corners and they make sure everything was up to code. Communication was good. I will be calling them for all my future projects.

Excellent Craftsmanship, superb attention to detail and arrived earlier than expected.  Great Company!
I'll be referring to all in need of a excellent electrician.  Thanks Again Mr. Dunn job well done!

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

After talking to the owner of the company I've got to change my review for this  company Steve said he would do whatever he could to help us now that's good service. I hope to b doing business with them real soon

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.

I can't say enough good things about Thomas Edison Electric. They are a very timely, professional and great company. I called later in the evening frantic when I found out that I would be responsible for having an electrical pole fixed on my dollar. Tom was very kind and understanding, he was upfront about the cost of an emergency call and coming out the next day, which isn't something you usually hear from companies when there's an emergency. The techs came out on time the next day while also calling in advance which was a nice courtesy. They performed the tasks necessary to fix the pole and also helped my father in law with the generator. My father in law spoke very highly of them and was so impressed by their honesty and commitment. It's rare to find quality companies that are professional like Edison.

The Yelp community came through again! I used the message a project Yelp function to EP Electric for an outdoor electrical outlet problem. EP Electric responded within the time they said they would, and then called when scheduled two days later for a consultation.

I gave another description of the problem, and Andi informed me of the initial cost to come out and advised me of the Yelp coupon which I had known about. Anything above that cost would be discussed before the work would be done.

I made an appointment to have EP Electric come out, and Andi and his assistant showed up as scheduled. His communication beforehand to come to my house also was very good.

Fortunately for me, my problem was easy for Andi to resolve and the breaker only needed replacing. The whole thing was done in less than 30 minutes right before a super-drenching downpour. Good thing since it was an outdoor plug problem!

I'd highly recommend EP Electric. Very good communication and quick service. The right way to do business.

We needed a few things done around our house - doorbell installation, breaker and electrical panel upgrades - when we came across Married 2 Electric. Their technicians are informative and efficient, providing reasonable quotes and quality service. We will definitely be requesting our technician - Scott - for future projects. 5/5 HIGHLY recommend.

Joel is very professional, fairly priced and gets the job done very efficiently. He is my go to electrician that is very knowledgeable and honest. I highly recommend his services from smallest to largest possible job. He will get it done for you!

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.
