Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

I just bought a house in East Kensington.  It's really huge on the inside and so wireless wasn't going to be reliable and the space is too big to just staple LAN cables to the baseboards... I needed a professional CAT6A install.

Gen3 got it done for me and their techs were really knowledgeable.  They also got through some complicated issues in my building and they did a good patch job on the walls when the job was complete.

They left very pretty ethernet drops in every room in my house with very minimal wall damage, all I have to do is just paint over their patches!

I'm definitely using Gen3 again in the future for any electrical/cabling projects.

Greg is very responsive, courteous and helpful. I had some issues with electrical work done by someone else and Greg came  first thing in the morning the day after I called him. He was able to quickly find the problem and fix it. I would recommend calling him.

This father/son team is awesome.  My central air was not working during a 90 degree heat wave.  They came over 20minutes after I called to inspect the situation and said they'd be able to fix the issue the following AM b/w 8-8:30AM and they came right on the dot.  They are both so friendly, got the job done and the price they quoted me was $250 less than what someone else quoted me.  So happy to have found an electrician that I can trust!!

We have used Jim & Sons a few times now, particularly because they were always among the most responsive electricians. Nothing worse than never having your calls picked up or emails answered. They were also great in an emergency situation where we needed someone out basically next day, and they squeezed us in. Prices seemed fair in general. We will continue to use them and would recommend

Wow. I always use reviews to help decide who to hire. Google has so many more for JDV and when I came here to review them I was shocked at the 2 bad reviews. Seems 1 person is dissatisfied and had no work done and the other is upset over a price he agreed to pay.

I'm here to say otherwise. Was JDV the lowest quote. No. But a HIGH recommendation from a friend and I thank my friend for it. You get what you pay for. I got excellent work from knowledgable, friendly and courteous staff who did a phenomenal job. Won't be worried that my house will burn down with my new panel and service. Plus the quality of the panel and breakers with a built in surge protector and arc fault breakers. I feel safe. And all of the wiring was identified and labeled correctly. Thank you JDV I will be recommending you to friends and family.

We had a big box store come to install a new washer dryer and haul away the old ones. Once they saw the old set was hard wired, they said they were not able to touch it until a plug was installed. iTech came out in less than 24 hours to repair, was within service window, did the work quickly, and was very reasonable in cost. Installers were kind and walked through what they planned to do and then had me inspect after completing. Highly recommend and will use again for other electric needs!

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.

Fair pricing and great work! They came over inspected the work area and provided a quote within a day. Scheduling was a breeze and work was accomplish within the timeframe set by the contractor

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

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.

The electrician was absolutely wonderful. They came out as quickly as possible. My only complaint would be the high cost of the service call. It might have been a bit too high. However, I would use this company again. The service was great! Thank you.

Thomas Edison Electric came out on a Saturday and replaced two light switches in my house. The gentleman was right on time, very pleasant and professional.  These light switches are in my kitchen and very important.  I have nothing but good things to say.

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.

Rock solid team.  Rod came out for the estimate and we talked through several ideas.  They had no issue with the revising the estimate based on changes we made.  Scheduling was quick.

Stephen and Brandon came for two days worth of work and were excellent to deal with.  They worked well as a team and moved quickly.  They were both very knowledgeable, took excellent care of the house while they worked, and cleaned up very well both days.  They had great attitudes and are full of positivity.

This team will be my new go-to!

We had just sold our house and the home inspection had several items to be attended to electrically.  Joel from Aratech came out very quickly and gave us an estimate he stuck too.  He was professional and friendly, but the best was his work and turn around time and fair pricing.  We will hire him without question in the future!  Thanks Aratech!

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.
