Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

Gen 3 earned this 5 star review. I will save you a long read, but in short, after a process that had me pulling out my hair, Gen 3 really showed up, and their customer service proved to me that they care about their clients. I can't say that about most companies, but Gen 3 does. They're good people. Good people who you can trust.

Greg installed a long run of 220V in my rental property. He explained everything he was going to do and was clear about options, timing, and costs. He even gave me some much appreciated construction suggestions for my sagging cross-beams. The execution was top-notch - clean work, everything strapped down. He is obviously a pro at this. I hope he will come back to do more work on this house when I am ready for it!

This review is slightly late but does not change my impression of Larry and his team.

Lauterborn completed a 200 amp upgrade as well as a variety of additional services for me. Larry and his sons were communicative, on-time, and professional. He was priced slightly higher (under 5%) than two other competitors, but I would hands down go with the experience these guys bring to the table. They are my go-to electricians moving forward.

Thank you, Larry and sons!

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

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.

Quick to respond and easy to work with. Great job on my quick project and great communication. Will definitely use again in the future.

I highly recommend FMJ electrical.  I called them Monday to install a wire from ceiling fan to  power outlet near the floor.  Next day technician arrived on time to estimate cost and do the job. It was made complicated because the wire had to traverse an air duct.  Mike estimated the cost of the job on the spot and I am very happy that he used an estimating book and gave me a great price. Took him two hours to install wire and patch the five holes he had to make.  Mike did a perfect job.  I will definitely use them again.

GE services services has done a number of jobs for me. They have always done a good job, come in on budget, have been flexible and been easy to work with. JQ

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

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.

I found Princeton Electrical Makeover via the Tesla site.  They were fantastic through out the process of estimating, quoting, scheduling and installation.  I really appreciated the thorough communications, attention to detail and the clean work.  I am ready to take delivery of my Model 3 next month!

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.

The only electricians I will use. Incredibly friendly team, always timely and reliable service.

Everything you want in an electrician - skill, experience, reliability, attention to detail, reasonable prices. I've used Joel at least 4 times so far and will continue to do so until they outlaw electricity or electricians.

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.
