Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

Kevin D. came to discuss the details of an upgrade of outlets and switches in my house. Not only was he thorough in explaining what could be done, given my specifications and preferences, but he also listened very carefully to several issues I have that are going to affect the second phase of this job. From wall positioning to outdoor lighting to figuring out how to handle the opposite side of the numerous party walls I have, Kevin took a lot of time to meticulously ensure he knew what I wanted and what my concerns were. (Bonus: he was very kind enough to get my kitchen lamp shade cover unscrewed in order to replace its halogen bulb--YES!!).

This is THE hallmark of all the project managers, advisors, technicians, sales representatives and customer service agents at Generation 3 Electric, and what I personally value SO very much in their service provision. Everybody just goes above and beyond my expectations so consistently. They work hard (but not in a pushy manner at all) with their clients to ensure that they get the best results possible. Once again, I'm looking forward to getting this work completed with this fabulous team!

I found Greg on Yelp and decided to contact him due to all the 5 stars reviews.  I needed a technician to fix a circuit breaker issue that my tenants are experiencing in one of my rental units in Philly.  Greg responded immediately and offered to pay an initial visit to assess the circuit problem.  I work in NYC so I couldn't be present during his first visit, but Greg informed me that he's used to coordinating with tenants directly.   Greg coordinated the visit without my involvement (which was great) and figured out the issue right away.  Greg, in plain English, explained the problem to me over the phone and presented me with a few options in a later email (with a recommendation on what's the practical and right fix).  

I love Greg's transparency during the entire process (how he works, his pricing and scope of work) and his accessibility (via phone, text or email).  His end product is very thorough and clean.   I even threw in a side job at him that wasn't part of the original scope (switch out an old outdoor light with a new one with photocell).

All in all, the job was done perfectly from start to finish.  What I value is his timely responses and accessibility.  Being a landlord, the most important thing I value from any service provider is reliability and dependability.   Greg has that.  I will absolutely use Greg again for my other rental properties.   I would recommend Greg to anyone (particularly landlords) who's looking for a good technician/electrician in the Philadelphia area.

Amazing, hard-working crew. Larry and his sons were very quick to respond to my request for installation of a few ceiling fans and lights. Many other local electricians wouldn't even call me back. They were professional, fast and extremely knowledgeable. No job is too big or small for these guys - they had stories of jobs on full warehouses, to helping repeat customers who lose power. They know the true meaning of honesty and customer satisfaction.

Highly recommended to anyone in the Philadelphia area. Thanks again, guys.

Jim and Sons is our go to electrician since we moved to the Abington area.  We had a bunch of 2 prong outlets in our house that needed to be converted to 3 prong.  I reached out to a few companies on Yelp and Jim was the first to respond with the most fair price.  Joe was right on time when he showed up and did the job quickly.  He is a professional and obviously knows his work because he answered all the questions I had.  I am now in the process of hiring them for more electrical work.  These guys will have my business for a long time; I highly recommend!

I have several rental properties and have used a lot of electricians over the years. I don't have to look any further. Jdv Electric nailed it. What a good job Anthony did. I absolutely have no reason to call anyone else for my electrical work. You were the one thanks again jdv Larry

I recently hired iTech Electric for a light installation project. This was the first time I've ever had to hire an electrician and I didn't know where to start. I asked for recommendations on a neighborhood Facebook group, but most of them were dead ends. Additionally, most companies wouldn't give me an estimate over the phone, or charged for someone to come out to provide an estimate.

However, not only did iTech gave me a very reasonable quote over the phone, they also were able to schedule me for the same week that I called them. They were very friendly, professional, and efficient, in and out in just a few hours. Another nice touch was that they patched any holes, cleaned up, and put my dining room back exactly how they found it.

I could not be happier with the service we received and would definitely hire them again in the future!

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 woke up on a Sunday to find that half my house was without power.  After flipping the circuit breakers, there was no change.  I contacted GE Electrical and Edmond showed up within a few hours.  He got on a ladder and diagnosed that one of the two lines running from the PECO line to my house was damaged from normal wear and tear.  He returned at 8a Monday with a coworker.  They repaired the line within an hour.  The price was fair.  I would definitely hire Edmond and GE Electrical again!

I had an issue with one of my properties in port Richmond losing power in the kitchen and bathroom. We tried flipping the breakers off and on and that didn't work so needed a solution quick. I sent out a request on Yelp for electricians and Charles replied promptly. He offered emergency services to come out and troubleshoot at a reasonable rate (this was Friday night at 9pm) and mentioned if it could wait, it would be a lesser rate the next day. I decided on the next day and he offered me a generous time window. The next day he arrives half and hour early and texts me to give me a heads up and then he proceeds to work. In the end the voltage loss was due to wiring and he redid some of the wiring for a reasonable price. I was not at the property at the time but Charles gave me an option to view the invoice over email and make payment securely online. Overall I was thoroughly impressed with his response time and his ability to help me out when I was in a pickle without overcharging. Definitely will contact Charles again for future electric projects.

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.

Had married 2 electric install a ceiling fan in my bedroom. My 100 year home posed some nuisances but the guys at married to electric were up to the challenge which included sawing out wood that had prevented the previous ceiling fan from being properly anchored . Prompt service. On time. Great guys

I had been saving up a bunch of work for Joel this year. Gave him the laundry list and scheduled a day for him and Jay to swing by. They had already done the kitchen reno, a bunch of smart lighting and controls, and camera installations for us last year.

This year it was ceiling fans, additional smart lighting controls, new lighting fixtures, and to troubleshoot a problematic camera.

Not only was the work done efficiently, but the new lighting fixtures look like they were always there. He also considered the camera troubleshooting warranty work although it turned out to be a manufacturer issue to their satisfaction. Above and beyond.

As long as Joel is in business, we'll continue to use him for our 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.
