Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

I don't know where the positive feedback comes from, but Yelp is notorious on pay for positive comments. I need to replace 4-5 switchers and fix one door bell. Yesterday, I paid $39 to get a electrician to do the investigation and estimation, I got a quota total of $1,200. Yes, you read it right, about $150 each switcher and $300 for fixing the door bell. After negotiation, I got the best price from Gen 3 at about $920. They said that two persons will be here next day to do the work.

Although I feel it sounds ridiculously high, I trust the yelp comments and the company and didn't shop around, until about 30 minutes before the electricians came, I found several emails from other electricians about the quota, averagely $300-$400. I was shocked and further did my research on line at HomeAdvisor and by calling more companies to ask for the price. Then I realized Gen 3 is just trying to rip me off. I told the two Gen3 Electrician my findings when they are here and they told me they will call the company from their truck to figure out the price difference and get back with me in a minute. I have the door open and wait for them to give me a reason for the over the roof price. What surprised me is that three minutes after they got into their truck, the truck engine started and they quickly left without saying byebye...I think I can not hear the reason from them, but I guess I know what is the reason.

After all, if this is the way to do business, I am afraid if they can stay in business for anything long.
I hope yelp will not be paid to delete or hind my comments, it was a good company......

Hi my name colleen he is one of the best electricians i have ever met in to do work in my home he will be the only person to do electric work in my home for now on he is very knowledgeable and knows what he's doing and always love to let u know every step he took to fix the problem i recommend him to anyone that needs electric work done in there home 100%percent

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!

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

Had a circuit go out. Tried to diagnose the problem on my own, with no luck. Called JDV - they were booked and gave me an appointent for the following week, then caled the next day to offer an earlier appointment. Shwed up when theu said they woud listened carefully to me, found the issue and fixed it quickly. I'm a DIYer, but next time I have an electrical problem I cant handle, I'll call JDV. Very satisfied.

This is my 2nd review of iTech. Again, a good experience. Responsive, professional, fast, and a fair price. I will continue to use their services and recommend them to my friends.

Fast response and great service. My Yelp message was responded to within a day and my call was returned immediately. Good communication, on time, and great work. We're very pleased with the two pendant lights  we had installed. The price was significantly less than other companies. This is a nice young professional worthy of your business.

We will be hiring him again for another project soon.

Highly recommended.

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!

I needed a home EV charging set up and FAST.  Charles was super responsive when I was looking to schedule an estimate (he came out the next morning), gave an excellent estimate, and was more than flexible with scheduling the work.
Initial contact Thursday afternoon, estimate Friday morning, and work completed Tuesday (Charles and Julian were willing to do the work on Friday morning, but I was shopping other estimates before making my decision).
The work was done exactly to the specifications, no mess left after work was completed, and he added in a clever receptable protector because he thought it would be good - at no additional cost.
Charles and Julian worked from 2:15-8:30 pm (!) and didn't leave until they were sure that my husband and I were satisfied and my car was charging.
I would highly recommend DunnMaster Electric for any electrical needs.
Charles is a motivated young man working hard to build his customer base, and he's gained a new one today!
Both Charles and Julian are personable, professional, and tuned in to their customer needs.
Highly recommend!!

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.

Tom and his trainee installed a ceiling fan in my 4th bedroom.  It is beautiful and they know what they are doing. The office staff are so friendly.  Quick easy service.  They never disappoint.

The Yelp community came through again! I used the message a project Yelp function to EP Electric for an outdoor electrical outlet problem. EP Electric responded within the time they said they would, and then called when scheduled two days later for a consultation.

I gave another description of the problem, and Andi informed me of the initial cost to come out and advised me of the Yelp coupon which I had known about. Anything above that cost would be discussed before the work would be done.

I made an appointment to have EP Electric come out, and Andi and his assistant showed up as scheduled. His communication beforehand to come to my house also was very good.

Fortunately for me, my problem was easy for Andi to resolve and the breaker only needed replacing. The whole thing was done in less than 30 minutes right before a super-drenching downpour. Good thing since it was an outdoor plug problem!

I'd highly recommend EP Electric. Very good communication and quick service. The right way to do business.

Just had Scott and Josh into replace a ceiling fan and two unsafe outlets. They arrived in the designated time window, were extremely polite and informative throughout the process. They cleanup up thoroughly after all the work and we are delighted with the results. Our old house knob and tube wiring wasn't an issue. Would totally recommend them. Only thing holding me back from 5 stars was a slight delay in the response to my first call. I left a voicemail on a Tuesday and didn't get a call back until the following Monday.  In the meantime I left a second voicemail. Since it's the start of the summer season, maybe they were on vacation the week I called.

Joel is great to work with. We have now had him out for 2 different visits for various electrical fixes and projects. He fixed a bunch of issues that came up on our home inspection for our new home. He added an electric outlet so we could hook up an electric dryer. Today we had him out to install some new lighting in our living room that has 18 foot ceilings. He does great work at a fair price. He is also great with communication and is quick to answer any questions. We will for sure be calling him again!

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.
