Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

If you want to pay the highest price possible and get ripped off, go with Gen3. I was quoted a min of $10k (highest was around $20k!!) of electrical work to be done by one of their male reps. I then got two other inspection-certified electricians to also take a look and guess what? ALMOST EVERYTHING that NEEDED work, I was told absolutely did not need to be touched. Two completely separate, private and reputable electricians. The quotes I received from them you ask? $3-5k. My house is 720sq ft

I was also not given a detailed and clear explanation of why I needed such an expensive upgrade. Just that this and that was needed and they would provide a first patch to the walls.

I truly believe I was quoted this obscene number due to the fact that I am young, a woman and a first time homeowner.

Shame on you Gen3

Greg is wonderful!  So glad we found him after all these years living in Philadelphia.  We had a tricky situation - needed an outlet installed into a closet space with a washer/dryer already in place that could not be moved.  It was not an easy task!  Greg was able to accomplish this in no time without having to remove the washer/dryer, and the results are beautiful!  He was very easy to talk to, and was just a terrific guy all around.  Would recommend him 100%!

I have nothing but praise for Larry and his crew. I had to have an electric  panel box replaced on my house. I had no electricity, and my house is all electric. . After no luck with two other electricians, I finally got the work done right and a fair price. I will definitely use them again if the need arises.

Jim and Sons is our go to electrician since we moved to the Abington area.  We had a bunch of 2 prong outlets in our house that needed to be converted to 3 prong.  I reached out to a few companies on Yelp and Jim was the first to respond with the most fair price.  Joe was right on time when he showed up and did the job quickly.  He is a professional and obviously knows his work because he answered all the questions I had.  I am now in the process of hiring them for more electrical work.  These guys will have my business for a long time; I highly recommend!

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.

Great service!  Responded promptly to a request for service and the electrician was friendly and professional.  The work was done quickly.

They grounded and updated the whole house in 2 days. Now we're safe thanks to FMJ. They are nice and reliable as well.

I had GE electrical update my service from 100 to 200 amp . Their prices were and service was fast , on time and clean.
I highly recommend GE electrical

CJ and his team are thorough, hardworking, communicative and courteous. I needed to have my 100+ year-old home completely rewired from knob and tube electric. CJ met with me, explained the process, presented his credentials, and answered my questions. He was able to get the job done faster and less expensive than other quotes, without sacrificing quality. CJ and his team went above and beyond in multiple respects, were flexible to meeting requests during the process, and frequently communicated and proved their dedication to customer service and excellence in performance. Would definitely recommend using DunnMaster Electric for any electrical needs!

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.

Very good service! Alex tried to help me diagnose my issue over the phone before even coming out to the property (to try to save me money). When it was apparent that the issue was above my pay grade, a technician came out and quickly fixed the problem, for a reasonable price. Would recommend

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 and his partner Nick did a fantastic job with my house! I wanted recessed lighting done and he was very honest with getting me a quote about what he can/can't do.

They are perfectionists and want to stay to complete the job 100%.

Very professional coming on time/ earlier. Prices are fair and you definitely pay for quality. These guys do a smooth, clean job and also clean up after themselves when they're done.

I'm very pleased with the service I got and will definitely use them again one day when I redo my bathroom lights!

I highly highly recommend Rod. He is very responsive, comes when he says he will, explains the work that needs to be done, and his fees are very fair. I will use him again in a heartbeat.

Joel did a fantastic job. He was able to fit me in quickly. He was on time and did the job as promised. Workmanship was top notch. I will use him again.
Thanks Joel!

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.
