Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

I am typically not one to rush online to write reviews, but felt compelled to do so after working with Brian Schied.  We recently purchased our first home in Penn Valley, and while we did not have significant electrical issues, there were a series of minor safety items that came up during inspection that had to be addressed.  We also had some aesthetic items and preferences that we wanted to discuss.

Brian could not have been more helpful and professional.  He did a fantastic job of making me feel comfortable with the various work items to be done by taking the time to explain the issue and process.  The pricing and work to be done was laid out very clearly and provided comfort that we were working with a true expert.  For someone like me with little knowledge and experience with electrical issues, nothing could be more important.

Brian also did a great job of outlining some other items that we should be considering without being overly pushy or salesy.  While we may not move forward with all recommendations, it was more than helpful to have options presented.

Brian was most importantly a nice, patient guy, and I look forward to continuing to work with him.

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.

Update to my previous review: still 5 stars!! Going on three years of using Lauterborn for all our electrical needs and haven't been disappointed. Most recently had them over to do 3 separate jobs and they still squeezed in fixing a heinous basement light situation as a total surprise for me. Love working with them!

I had an electric socket replaced and a line fixed in the bathroom. It took 30 minutes.

Great job.

Joe, the owner of JDV, arrived within the scheduled 2 hour window and called 30-minutes before arriving. He was professionally dressed groomed and scented. He wore bootie protectors indoors. He was patient, friendly and intelligent. He immediately got to work investigating and solving the problem. He thoroughly tested the implementation to make sure everything worked properly before moving on to the next issue. He listened to my friendly banter and volleyed appropriately sized responses. He answered all additional questions that i had and even gave unsolicited advice to issues i had not noticed or thought of. He charged what was quoted. He was not pushy for further services. He was the dream contractor. He backed up his stellar reputation with irreproachable service and unassailable character. I will undoubtedly use him for all of my future electrician needs.

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.

Like the man said, best prices and quick service, needed work done and he was here same day. Quick response and the technician kept me updated on his route! Go ahead call them for a quote!

I needed an electrician for my tenant who suddenly lost power on a hot summer day. I called GE electric after initially going with another company that had basically tried to rip me off.

Edmund, the man that responded to my call was honest, straight forward and prompt. He got to my tenant's house within half hour and fixed the problem for me under 10 minutes. He charged me a very reasonable rate, and gave me a quote to replace the box and a power cable outside of the house. He did not pressure me in any way to get all the work done, but did the minimum necessary to get the electric running again.

If you are looking for an honest electrician that will get the job done, I would highly recommend GE!

They were super responsive and timely. They explained everything including sending me a solution to an additional project I was considering in the future. Everything was done well.

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.

PEM is a very knowledgeable and professional electrician company though not low cost. They took on a project to inspect and update all of the aluminum-copper junctions in our house. We had them install some new lighting fixtures as well. They were very conscientious about conforming to Lawrence Twsp code, buying extra tools to ensure tightening the connections to specifications. Then they worked with the inspector's schedule to support the Inspection.

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.

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.

We couldn't be happier with the service from Todd and crew.  Professional service, cleaned up so good reasonable, so polite and an absolute joy to be around.  Our entire family will use this company from here on out...we can't be more happy.

Bob and Team were great. Prompt communication and super friendly. I had to get an gfci outlet installed and they came on time and briefly explained what they had to do. They also took the time to go over a few quotes with me.

I want to do additional work with them so book with them fast because they seem to getting jobs constantly.

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.
