Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

I called to get a ceiling fan installed on a high ceiling and a chandelier installed.  The first appointment was rescheduled due to them being inundated with emergency calls during a heat wave (it was 100 degrees). I understood and got another appointment.

I got a text with my technicians name and photograph and he also called me to say he was on his way.  He was super nice and polite and gave me the estimate.  It was a little bit more than I thought it was going to be, but I agreed to the work.

Evan did excellent work quickly.  He also installed a dimmer switch and a 3 speed switch for the ceiling fan.  

I would totally recommend using Generation 3 for all your electrical needs.  I know I will be using them again in the future.

I used Greg Avakian twice, but didn't join Yelp until now, so I'm giving one review.

The first time, he added a dedicated line for my home office, to run my computers from. I loved the fact that he colored coded the plates, which makes it easy to remember which four outlets are for computers, and which 8 are for general usage (yes... this is a real office in my home).
The work was performed in a timely manner, everything promised was delivered, and the room was immaculate when he was done (rarely seen by other contractors).

I was so happy, than when we made the decision to upgrade our service and replace the electrical panel, the choice of which contractor to use was simple - Greg.
This was a much more complex job, and again Greg shone. The work was completed on budget, in the time frame promised, and perfectly done. The garage was cleaner than when he came in - which was a nice bonus :)

I very strongly recommend Greg Avakian for any electrical needs. He was professional, courteous, polite, and an absolute pleasure to deal with. He answered every question we had, providing very clear and understandable explanations. This was probably the first time I dealt with a contractor who was so incredibly NICE to work with. In the past I've had to deal with some people who may have delivered good work, but were gruff and uncommunicative. Greg encouraged communication between us - I will only use him for any future work.

Called with a simple request to have to two outlets wired. As I was trying to explain what I needed he was offended that I described it has a relatively easy job. He asked why I don't do it my self if it was so easy.

Wow! After reading the reviews, we decided to go with Jim & Sons. We had two jobs for them- replace a bathroom fan, and replace an outdoor GFI out let that wasn't working. The electrician showed up on time. We got a quote before he started work, and the price was very reasonable. The bathroom fan turned out to be somewhat more difficult than anticipated due to the way the broken one was installed, but he managed to get it done. Next was the outdoor GFI outlet. He tested it before replacing it, and found that it was working, and showed us what we were doing wrong to reset it. He could have easily replaced it and charged us, and we wouldn't have known the difference. It is a pleasure finding honest contractors who show up on time. We wil definitely use them again!

I was having issues in my house where appliances were turning off during operation and lights were flickering.

A google search indicated that this could be a fire hazard.  I called my usual electrician and waited.  After several hours of waiting and never hearing anything back I called four other electricians and didn't hear a single thing from any of them either.

I reached out to my plumber and asked for a recommendation -- he recommended JDV and they called me within a few minutes of me reaching out.  The woman on the phone was extremely polite and helpful and let me know someone could come out that same day.  She even called me prior to their arrival so I would have an idea when they would be here.

Joe was on-site and diagnosed the issue.  He was able to diagnose my problem quickly and was able to do the repairs the same week (permits were required so he had to come back).

Overall I am extremely happy with JDV -- I already recommended them to family members and will be using them for more work within the next few months.  You can't go wrong with JDV!

The first thing I did was to call HomeAdvisor, well that didn't work-out. So I googled the top 10 electricians in the Philadelphia area. iTech Electric had a great website with current reviews and good pictures of work projects. Talk to Tony on a  Tuesday, he gave a great estimate, came back Thursday on time and ( equip ) to work. Two hours later problem solve. Professional, clean, hardworking, and very nice people that answered all the questions I had. Five Stars don't begin to express my gratitude for a job well done. Thank you Tony, and also his hard working partner Skerdi.  #  Batman & Robin   Love you guys!!

The experience with FMJ Electrical was exceptional from the start. A wonderful person answering the phone, smart and efficient. It was an emergency and they arrived so fast. Frank was very professional , his shirt was so clean and pressed. First impressions are everything! Frank and his crew fixed the electrical service in hours. His crew was well prepared, qualified and knowledgeable and they also recommended a inspector to come out to do a complete inspection for PECO. Everyone is so personable. Work ethics are top notch!!! I will definitely make use of their services again and will highly recommend. I was so impressed with the professionalism and level of expertise. Call them first!

Let just start with GE Electrical Services saved the day......Monday 20, 2020 we were doing a small plumbing job that just consist of adding shut off vales....unknowing to us the water dripped down in the basement and got on wires that were old, rusted and exposed. It cause half of our building to go out and start an electrical spark, we thought as we smelled the burnt wires. We had to think fast and called several electrical companies and did not have any luck, mind you this was on MLK holiday at 6:30 at night. I looked on Yelp and came across GE Electrical Services and our Hero Edmond the service manager answered the phone and said he would be right over. He stated it would only take him 20 min to arrive and once he did he kicked right into action, he identified the issue and stated that there was a fire in the wall. He worked quickly to cut the power to the dangerous old, rusted and exposed wires to ensure safety. He also let us know that 3 new lines would have to be ran and that he would email us the cost and schedule us for his next appointment Wednesday 22, 2020. Edmond and his company GE Electrical Services came and got the job done very professional and friendly. The services they provided , excellent customer service and reasonable prices I would recommend them to all and will be using them for any future services. Thanks GE Electrical Services You Rock!!!

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.

Alex and his team did a great job with getting Tesla wall connector installed in my garage. Estimate provided was exact cost and they were on time and completed everything they proposed.

Thanks Alex!

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

Reached out to a handful of local companies for my outlet repair and EP gave me the best price. Andi was fantastic on the customer service end - knowledgable, accommodating, and polite. He was able to get me squared away with an appointment next day!

Ron was the tech that came out. He arrived on time (a little early which was great), was very kind, and kept me informed throughout the entire repair process. Great experience and his work was clean!

Will definitely be contacting them again for all future electrical work. Highly recommend EP Electric!!

I'm a repeat customer and have been very happy with the service from Married to Electric. Both times Ramon has provided thorough service in a professional and friendly manner.  He was able to figure out my electrical problem which took some time and patience.  Thanks to Ramon my switches are now working correctly for the first time and I've got power to my tv again. I highly recommend them for your electrical servicing needs.

We had just sold our house and the home inspection had several items to be attended to electrically.  Joel from Aratech came out very quickly and gave us an estimate he stuck too.  He was professional and friendly, but the best was his work and turn around time and fair pricing.  We will hire him without question in the future!  Thanks Aratech!

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.
