Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

I don't know where to start... First and foremost. THANK YOU! I had a very large water loss / damage to 3 floor of my home. From the initial phone call with Chad to get an emergency electrician out within a half hour and assuring me that James would come to set up an emergency 230 line for the restoration company. James was AMAZING and worked to re-assure me my home was safe. I was impressed with his diligence and keen eye to detail and his friendly manner. When you are in a crisis situation, you need reliable, professionals. I understand why Gen3 is rated top #1 for Electricians in the Philadelphia area.
Andrew followed up with me to check on my satisfaction over that weekend. I thought that was very nice of him to call me and talk me through the next phase.
I needed to delay the job due to other work that was not completed and Gen3 had no problems with moving my install date.
I had numerous e-mails with Dottie with respect to replacing my panel and main box as well as GFI's. I did not have to worry about anything. Dottie took care of the permit with the township and provided me with all the necessary information.
I found it most impressive that I received a reminder e-mail from Andrew stating my electrician assigned was Kevin and gave me an accurate time frame. It was nice to click the button to confirm and see a picture / face of who would be coming to my home.
The day of the job Kevin phoned me and stated that he was on his way and and me a time frame of arrival.
When Kevin arrived and walked into my home the FIRST WORDS he said were I'm sorry you are going through this. The visual damages were apparent, however, for Kevin to sympathize and show empathy with my situation and stress level was most appreciated and above professional- you don't find that in most people.
Kevin took time to speak with my general contractor and myself about the work that would be performed. I respected and appreciated he spoke to me before just getting out his tool box. Kevin is a TOP NOTCH electrician. He was able to trouble shoot and did not stop till everything was PERFECT. I understand why Gen3 is rated number one.
Kevin came with Pat who was his assistant. Pat was respectful and diligent and they worked very well together. Pat took the time to check EVERY outlet and be sure that everything was working properly. He even changed out a GFI as it did not test correctly.
In the end I'm most thankful for not only the empathy to my situation but to the professional service, the details to the job and the diligence for making sure that everything was PERFECT.
I can not thank you all enough. When you experience a large loss and your faced with a crisis it's difficult to navigate through all the in's and out's. Kevin and Pat I thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my home safe again for my son and me, for your sincere and thoughtful kind words and for the stellar work.
Respectfully Submitted.

I called Greg to see if he would be interested in giving me a quote for my project. Unfortunately, Greg was booked and unable to come out in my time frame. He did however ask me to send him photos of my project and talked me through each detailed step I need to take. He even told me to call him back with any questions. What an incredibly nice guy. Customer service like this is non-existent in this era. Thanks again!!!

As a business owner for over 20 years I have seen a lot of self employed people come and go. What makes a good company survive while others flounder ?? A good product, a good price, and standout people that you can know and trust..
I had used Lauterborn Electric once for a job (over a year ago) and I was happy with the upfront, honest and friendly way in which they presented a resolve to my issue. They did a good enough job that I referred them to a friend....who was happy that I did.
I REALLY needed the Lauterborn Electricricians when I recently had a fire in my place of business. Larry Lauterborn answered his phone (which is a good indication of how their business is run) and he began to help that day with advice on what steps to take in my situation. They came out the next day with a quote for the repairs and when I agreed, they started the following day. I could blah blah blah you with all the details but I think you get where it's going.
He has his 2 sons that work for him also and its nice to see that they are walking right in his footsteps. Kudos to you Larry, you are a good electrician and an even better role model for your well mannered boys.
Can't speak highly enough about the company and I won't be calling anyone else for electrical work.

Very good service. Reasonable quotes. We had our electric fixtures changed and they did a great job. We also hired them for wiring our audio system in the living room and they did nice work. We trust them to be good and not overcharge. I hope they stay this way. It's very hard to find businesses that don't try to overcharge these days. Thanks Jim and sons!

Buckle up - long review incoming.
Had JDV out to do an estimate - Mike arrived promptly, was professional and courteous, and provided information throughout his time here. However, that is where the positive part ends.
After performing the estimate. Mike sat down with me and presented two packages - one for 16000 dollars and another for 3200. The lesser estimate was to replace outlets and replace expired hardwired smoke/CO detectors. These detectors go from anywhere between 40-55 dollars (retail, not wholesale) depending on the brand, with labor being roughly 1 hour to replace all necessary components (there were 8). JDV wanted 3200 Dollars to replace those and roughly 25 outlets (only 1 of those being GFI) inside of the home. This is a total of about 4 hours' worth of work (generously and assuming brittle wiring (which I likely have).
That was bad enough.
The higher (and considerably more insane) estimate - 16k - included a panel replacement - a 50-foot junction box run to replace an old fuse sub-panel, (5 breakers total) - run a grounding wire, and do the aforementioned work contained in the smaller estimate. He also noted, corrosion (nothing reaching the buss bar or any corrosion besides humidity (a flex seal fix) - and explained that I would need a new panel and new fireguard breakers.
Please keep in mind - an 80 slot 200 amp panel is 130 dollars at home depot (with standard GE breakers - which are fine of course). Additional breakers as needed are cheap and effective. Additionally, it is noted on the estimate that if any fireguard panels actually trip - it is roughly 400 dollars (per breaker!) for them to fix that issue. Using that math - JDV wanted roughly 8 THOUSAND dollars (conservative) in labor to perform the panel/breaker change)
He also pushed a whole house surge protector (I run UPS on all of my electronics already) - and their service plan which includes yearly inspections.
When I asked him to provide a breakdown for parts and labor - Mike explained that JDV does not provide that and that the estimates include cost of doing business, and of course their 3-year warranty (keep in mind most products serviced come with their own manufacturer's warranty. Please keep in mind that they only warranty their service (Ie. Actual work) for one year.
I believe my internal thought process was that I could BECOME an electrician AND perform the work for about the cost of the estimate. I believe what I actually asked is do people actually pay you those prices?
I have owned multiple houses and have has almost all of the work done described in the estimate on one property or another. I have never encountered an estimate even in the realm of what JDV quoted me. His reticence to break down the estimate further cemented my skepticism.
I am sure the work is top-notch based on reviews and how thorough the inspection was. I was floored by his pricing. I called another electrician with similarly strong reviews - and provided him with the breakdown of what JDV quoted me. For the SAME work minus the service plan or whole house surge protector - I was quoted a respectable 2300 dollars. Same warranty, same service window.
The moral of the story - ask for a breakdown of services, and please make sure you do your homework before agreeing to pay that type of pricing. There are much more reasonable estimates to be had.

Tony and Edison were great to work with. The specifics (in no particular order)
- Their prices were more than fair
- On their walk through, they suggested ways for us to save money. They suggested we try out less recessed lights than we thought we needed because less would provide enough lighting.
- We bought a ceiling fan for sale and found that it was missing a remote and they just went out and bought us the remote!
- They were incredibly responsive. I mainly communicated with them via the Yelp messenger and they would always respond to me within minutes/seconds
- The quality of their work is flawless.
They installed 4 ceiling fans, 1 pendant light, 6 recessed lights, and replaced 4 lights for us. Everything was great and I highly recommend working with them. We definitely will when we finish our basement . Thank you guys!!

My Wife has been on my back for 2 years about this chest freezer we purchased but needed a dedicated electrical outlet line for before hooking it up. The freezer had been sitting due to the fact I was dreading looking for an Electrician to do the wiring. So many contractors waste your time by not responding, not showing up, inaccurate pricing, incomplete work, and of course shoddy workmanship. The research process in finding a contractor is very tedious because you want to avoid any of the above from becoming your reality. I am ecstatic, thankful, and joyous that my vetting process matched me with FMJ Electrical. Here's why:
Easy & Thorough Communication - I was able to submit my inquiry via yelp. We then spoke by phone to make sure all details and information was clear.
Fast Scheduling - Was able to fit me in the schedule upon talking to him.
Prompt - Contacted me the night before to remind me of the appointment. That showed me they valued not only my time, but also their time as well. Arrived on time the day of appointment and was ready to work.
Excellent Work - Flawlessly performed my new outlet installation. Ran it directly to the box inside the wall. Another quote I received from another provider would run it through tubing outside the wall and have the outlet external on top of the wall. FMJ did everything behind the wall and recessed the actual outlet. Also, the placement of the outlet was better than what I had imagined. I thought it would be higher up the wall for him to save time. He actually lowered more towards the ground which made less stress on the plug. Beautiful!
Price - I was quoted an excellent price for the work I needed done. Work was completed, I paid the bill, FMJ gets paid, my Wife stops nagging me, everyone wins!!!!
Bottom line......give FMJ Electrical a call or drop a line to them on Yelp if you want your electrical needs done right, at a great price, and on time!

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!

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.

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've had the pleasure to do business with M2E twice in the last 6 months. I had an electrical emergency back in July, quick response, immediately came out same day and performed top notch work at a reasonable hourly rate.
Today, M2E installed a new subpanel and EV charger for a electric vehicle that was recently ordered. Couldn't be happier with the quality of work. Even quickly fixed my Nest doorbell at no extra charge.
M2E has a customer for life

Requested a quote and installation for recessed lights and ceiling fans in multiple rooms in my house. Quoted price was very reasonable and they worked with us to discuss options, expectations, and supplies. Communication was excellent and when they were running a little behind due to other jobs, they reached out to us to keep us aware of their status. They finished within the expected timeframe and were extremely courteous. For future electrical work, I'll be reaching out to these guys.

Love this company and the two staff electricians that were dispatched to my home. I was pretty nervous to contact an electrician from an online google search, but I was pleasantly surprised. They were honest, fast, explained well and repaired shoddy electrical work that I had done. I am truly grateful that they quickly restored electricity to my home, in time for my first Thanksgiving in my new home!
