Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

Generation 3 is one of the most reliable businesses around. Brian Shield came to my house to repair some outlets, wires, and light fixtures. He was very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him specifically.

Disclaimer: I've never hired this guy for anything because he is always booked so far in advance it's never convenient for me because I am not the long-range planning type.

However, I felt I should acknowledge that the last time I queried him, he gave me tons of help and advice on the phone even though we'd established up front that our schedules were incompatible. I would hire this guy in a second if he were ever available when I am.

I was extremely satisfied with Lauterborn Electric! Larry and his son were extremely helpful and were more than competent. They showed up on a last minute's notice and they were able to make a quick, efficient repair. If you are looking for honest, hardworking individuals who follow through, then I suggest you give them a call! I used them the first time today and it won't be the last. All I can say is that there is a reason they have five stars on Yelp!

Excellent Communication! Arrived on time. Job well done. We will use this company again. Thank you.

Buckle up - long review incoming.

Had JDV out to do an estimate - Mike arrived promptly, was professional and courteous, and provided information throughout his time here. However, that is where the positive part ends.

After performing the estimate. Mike sat down with me and presented two packages - one for 16000 dollars and another for 3200. The lesser estimate was to replace outlets and replace expired hardwired smoke/CO detectors. These detectors go from anywhere between 40-55 dollars (retail, not wholesale) depending on the brand, with labor being roughly 1 hour to replace all necessary components (there were 8). JDV wanted 3200 Dollars to replace those and roughly 25 outlets (only 1 of those being GFI) inside of the home. This is a total of about 4 hours' worth of work (generously and assuming brittle wiring (which I likely have).

That was bad enough.

The higher (and considerably more insane) estimate - 16k - included a panel replacement - a 50-foot junction box run to replace an old fuse sub-panel, (5 breakers total) - run a grounding wire, and do the aforementioned work contained in the smaller estimate. He also noted, corrosion (nothing reaching the buss bar or any corrosion besides humidity (a flex seal fix) - and explained that I would need a new panel and new fireguard breakers.

Please keep in mind - an 80 slot 200 amp panel is 130 dollars at home depot (with standard GE breakers - which are fine of course). Additional breakers as needed are cheap and effective. Additionally, it is noted on the estimate that if any fireguard panels actually trip - it is roughly 400 dollars (per breaker!) for them to fix that issue. Using that math - JDV wanted roughly 8 THOUSAND dollars (conservative) in labor to perform the panel/breaker change)

He also pushed a whole house surge protector (I run UPS on all of my electronics already) - and their service plan which includes yearly inspections.

When I asked him to provide a breakdown for parts and labor - Mike explained that JDV does not provide that and that the estimates include cost of doing business, and of course their 3-year warranty (keep in mind most products serviced come with their own manufacturer's warranty. Please keep in mind that they only warranty their service (Ie. Actual work) for one year.

I believe my internal thought process was that I could BECOME an electrician AND perform the work for about the cost of the estimate. I believe what I actually asked is do people actually pay you those prices?

I have owned multiple houses and have has almost all of the work done described in the estimate on one property or another. I have never encountered an estimate even in the realm of what JDV quoted me. His reticence to break down the estimate further cemented my skepticism.

I am sure the work is top-notch based on reviews and how thorough the inspection was. I was floored by his pricing. I called another electrician with similarly strong reviews - and provided him with the breakdown of what JDV quoted me. For the SAME work minus the service plan or whole house surge protector - I was quoted a respectable 2300 dollars. Same warranty, same service window.

The moral of the story - ask for a breakdown of services, and please make sure you do your homework before agreeing to pay that type of pricing. There are much more reasonable estimates to be had.

From the time I first contacted iTech via Yelp until the time my project was finished was 6 days.  I needed an EV charger installed as well as a 60 amp circuit run to the outside of my house.

I asked for a quote via Yelp, they responded within 5 mins with a couple questions. They said they'd need to come on site, and I was able to schedule it for the next morning. They came out and I had an estimate in hand in 10 mins.

I contacted them the next day (thu) telling them I wanted to proceed, and they scheduled me for Monday morning.

They showed up (on time!) and were done with the install in 90 mins.

It's one of the best experiences I've had with a service provider. Responsive, showed up on time, and scheduled me right away.

The company is actually called Electric Geeks, I believe. When I had a crazy electrical emergency, Maleik and his brother were the quickest to respond and the only ones I could find willing to come out within just a few hours. They wanted a substantial deposit via CashApp before they would agree to come out, and would not accept credit cards. I was quite skeptical but went through with it since we were desperate to get power back. They proved to be legit and worked hard to get us back on. They knew what they were doing and did a great job.

My only issues were 1) not taking credit cards, and 2) I had to run to Home Depot because they got the wrong part (and blamed the store worker). They did dock it from my bill. Otherwise, if you are ok with paying cash and want reliable and quick service, I highly 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

I had an issue with one of my properties in port Richmond losing power in the kitchen and bathroom. We tried flipping the breakers off and on and that didn't work so needed a solution quick. I sent out a request on Yelp for electricians and Charles replied promptly. He offered emergency services to come out and troubleshoot at a reasonable rate (this was Friday night at 9pm) and mentioned if it could wait, it would be a lesser rate the next day. I decided on the next day and he offered me a generous time window. The next day he arrives half and hour early and texts me to give me a heads up and then he proceeds to work. In the end the voltage loss was due to wiring and he redid some of the wiring for a reasonable price. I was not at the property at the time but Charles gave me an option to view the invoice over email and make payment securely online. Overall I was thoroughly impressed with his response time and his ability to help me out when I was in a pickle without overcharging. Definitely will contact Charles again for future electric projects.

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

So please explain to me why a business located in Princeton won't service a residence in Trenton claiming that it's not in their service area??  Mind you I used Angie's List and this company was the very first based on my zip code and the fact that it's only like a 15 min drive.  REALLY!!! You don't deserve my business anyway!! I had to pick a star so there you go.

Tom and his trainee installed a ceiling fan in my 4th bedroom.  It is beautiful and they know what they are doing. The office staff are so friendly.  Quick easy service.  They never disappoint.

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.

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

The owner Joel is professional and friendly. Prices quoted were great and With no extra charges. He gave a couple different quotes for so we could choose which fix we wanted to do. We upped the electrical service coming into the house instead of just repairing the problem. So in the future we can add ac. Cleaned up after the job and made new labels for every circuit after he verified each one was what the label said. I highly recommend Aratech services. Will hire again if needed.

Love this company and the two staff electricians that were dispatched to my home. I was pretty nervous to contact an electrician from an online google search, but I was pleasantly surprised. They were honest, fast, explained well and repaired shoddy electrical work that I had done. I am truly grateful that they quickly restored electricity to my home, in time for my first Thanksgiving in my new home!
