Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

I recently purchased a home and for insurance purposes I needed the entire 2nd floor re-wired to meet current code. This was going to be no easy or inexpensive task. My fiancé and I shopped around for a bit. Without a doubt the most responsive company we spoke with was Gen3. I can't say they were the cheapest but based on some recommendations and conversations with the staff at Gen3 I felt very comfortable moving forward with the job if they were the company to do it.

After agreeing to proceed with the work the two electricians who worked on our home were Kevin and Tyler. I really cannot express how awesome those two were. The job lasted 5 days. It required replacing all the wires in the second floor and added about 9 outlets plus re-wiring some of the mistakes on the first floor. Every day Kevin made it clear what he was going to work on, why, and what the outcome would be. I felt so comfortable going to work each day knowing Kevin and Tyler were going to get my house back together and do a real solid job.

The work was fantastic! The holes were minimal and small which is great considering they had to pull all new wires from the basement up. But above that the customer service and personal touch was incredible. I have 2 cats and both Kevin and Tyler were super attentive to that, they even cleaned their food and water bowls every day to make sure there was no dust or debris in there. They were just awesome and I really recommend them to anyone!

I am very satisfied with the work, the holes were patched up great, and everything works and looks awesome. Electrical work is not cheap, and Gen3 really worked with our budget and offered financing which was awesome. You should feel very comfortable picking them for all your electrical concerns. I know I will be. Ask for Kevin and Tyler, they were awesome

Greg is just awesome. I sent a yelp question requesting a quote and he replied that though he doesn't operate in my borough, he was kind enough to provide me a lot of details about what could be going on with my electric panel. He also suggested sending him pictures of the panel so he could provide more guidance. He also provided rough estimates of what it would cost to add a panel or replace the panel. This is so refreshing in this day and age, when no one wants to provide any support unless there is a payback. Greg is part of a rare and almost extinct breed and I am sure his on-site service will be top notch if his remote deductive skills are so good!!!

Larry Sr. and his sons Larry Jr. and Ryan are helpful trustworthy electricians. I like to learn and they are happy to explain their work. They came to problem solve an electric circuit tripping the breaker and were very systematic going about their job. Great at thinking through all the possible causes and narrowing them down. They came twice, each time for about an hour to work on the issue but I was only charged one $150 fee. I'm extremely happy with their service and will call on them for future work.

Quick turn around between appointment call and actual visit. Service man was professional and neat.

Joe was easy to work with, came prepared for my condo building's insurance rules and did a great job. I have used a lot of contractors in my home and JDV was efficient and by far the cleanest.

They came out the same day to fix a socket. I'm grateful for the service and I thought the price was affordable.

Maliek was great, prompt and efficient. Thank you!!! For one thing, Frank -- an actual person -- answered the phone. That's a plus. Maliek came when. Promised, masked (thank you) and was respectful of our home with covers over his shoes, cleaning up along the way and always communicating where he was in the process. He gave us 3 options to choose from and was patient while we weighed the pros and cons. I would use this company again.

Whoever initially wired the house we bought wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, so they installed an outlet meant for a range in the laundry room. I needed to have that outlet swapped out for the right type.

I found GE on yelp, they offered a great rate, and off we went. They were extremely punctual and respectful of the house (they brought shoe covers!) and replaced it quickly. They even pointed out some other issues with the wiring, which I may have them take care of in the future.

I didn't have the right outlet or cord for the dryer--they had an outlet in their truck and put it in! They also came back a couple hours later once I had the right dryer cord, to finish the job.

I can't recommend them enough. Super efficient, professional, and a great job. I'll definitely be using them again in the future.

Very professional, knowledgeable, and handy. Affordable and well worth the money. CJ is so warm and charming. He came to check out the circuit breaker, his original job for coming to my home. Well I had a ring nest doorbell that had been sitting on my table for almost a year and CJ was more than happy to oblige me. Thank you CJ, you're the best. Will definitely be acquiring services from here on out. Gotta give a shout out to Pops as well. My motto now is One and Dunn!!!

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

We were very pleased with the work from Alex and his crews.  They did the wiring and installing Tesla wall connector in our garage.  Alex is knowledgeable and meticulous. His work is clean and neat.  We will use his services again in the future.  Highly recommended.

Service was fast and the electrician was knowledgeable and thorough in diagnosing and resolving several wiring issues in my older home.

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.

Amazing team of John and Chris were efficient and quick while providing quality work. Reached out to Married 2 Electric and they were on time early the next morning to assess and remedy the outage in some of our lights. Thanks guys!

I just moved into the Furlong area from Manhattan. Don't know anyone here. I looked up reviews of various electricians but they were either expensive or had bad reviews. One fellow from another company came out and gave me a high estimate. I was looking for someone to put in two receptacles on its own 15 amp breaker in the basement and run a Cat 6 ethernet line there as well.  Plus change the ends of three phone connectors in my home to Ethernet as Cat 5E wiring was already in place.

After getting some high prices I finally found Joel who owns Aratechservices.  He didn't have any reviews on Yelp (though there were some hidden reviews blocked by their bot) but he did have some on Google. They were all good. So I called Joel and he talked with me for a bit, not making me feel rushed. I explained to him what I wanted to do. Being in the IT business I had some ideas what this should cost. He said best for him to come out, see everything to give a more accurate estimate. We made an appointment a few days later and he arrived exactly on time.  Went over some different plans, he listened to my thoughts and he had some good ideas as well and I was happy to the costs involved.  But he said he would send over an estimate that evening so I could see the prices for everything.

Sure enough that estimate arrived by evening and it was professionally displayed with every line item detailed and the plan explained. There was a place where I could modify the plan or accept as is. I chose to modify slightly our idea and he agreed and kept it at the same price even though it required some more time on his behalf.

Joel arrived couple days later with his assistant Tim and immediately began running the electrical line to the basement. I was right away impressed as his assistant held a vacuum to collect all the debris! They routed the line through conduit that was the shortest and cleanest route they could find. Had to cut a square into the basement ceiling for access. Then they ran the CAT 6. Same attention to detail to drop it down. Capped it off with a two gang plate with two receptacles and an ethernet jack.  While he was doing this part he said he could easily install two electrical receptacles in the garage that could be handy in the future. At NO additional cost. I said sure lets do it and was very happy about that.

Joel then moved on to the router side where we were going to take three ethernet outputs and run it to Verizon punch down block so I could get ethernet in the three other rooms. But then we had a thought. Since he just provided two ac receptacles near the Verizon box how about we put a 5 port ethernet switch right inside and then we only need one ethernet coming out of the router. I had a few switches being in the computer business. This would cut down running two other lines and make the whole thing easier. Joel agreed and now we had a better setup. After this was completed he terminated the three phone lines with ethernet jacks and we tested all of them by doing a speed test. Sure enough I was getting 1 Gig to all locations as I have 1 Gig coming from the Fios router.  He also had his voltage/electrical meter on the new ac line the whole time testing as well.

At this point everything was done other then cleanup.  I noticed Tim was no longer around. The only thing I was concerned about was that square hole in the basement ceiling. Was he going to cover that?  I didn't say anything to Joel to see what would happen. Then I mentioned Where is Tim? Is he all done as I wanted to say goodbye and thank him with a tip.  That's when Joel said he sent him to Home Depot as he did not have a cover for the basement ceiling. Sure enough Tim arrived back ten minutes later with the cover and they installed it.  As they were leaving (after 5 hours of solid work) I asked Joel about payment and he said he would send the bill electronically and I could pay using Paypal. He must have been busy that night or tired as I didn't receive until the next night.  To cap it all off he actually reduced the price of the original estimate. Since we changed the plan by putting in the switch he didn't need as many parts and time to complete the job. He passed those savings on to me and I immediately sent payment!

All in all I am extremely satisfied with the work Joel and Tim from Aratechservices performed. They are super professional. Highly recommend for any electrical needs!!

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.
