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......

Greg is very responsive, courteous and helpful. I had some issues with electrical work done by someone else and Greg came  first thing in the morning the day after I called him. He was able to quickly find the problem and fix it. I would recommend calling him.

Ryan and Larry came to my house to fix ceiling lights that were not working. They promptly diagnosed and fixed the problem and also gave me advice on another light issue that I had. Thanks guys!

These are the guys to go with. I lucked out finding them. They communicated well throughout the entire process which is a rarity in the business and showed up on time. They completed prompt and professional work and we're very informative and knowledgable.  Mike/mark I forgot the name sorry did a great job installing new ceiling bracket and ceiling fan. Very reasonable price and was able to fit me in their busy schedule with little notice.  My wife will be so pleased to see finish product. Will definitely be dealing with 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!

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.

very professional , honest service
no hidden surprises with pricing
very pleased and would use again and recommend

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!

Excellent Craftsmanship, superb attention to detail and arrived earlier than expected.  Great Company!
I'll be referring to all in need of a excellent electrician.  Thanks Again Mr. Dunn job well done!

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.

PEM is a very knowledgeable and professional electrician company though not low cost. They took on a project to inspect and update all of the aluminum-copper junctions in our house. We had them install some new lighting fixtures as well. They were very conscientious about conforming to Lawrence Twsp code, buying extra tools to ensure tightening the connections to specifications. Then they worked with the inspector's schedule to support the Inspection.

Thomas Edison Electric came out on a Saturday and replaced two light switches in my house. The gentleman was right on time, very pleasant and professional.  These light switches are in my kitchen and very important.  I have nothing but good things to say.

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.

I relied on the yelp reviews of this company as I needed an electrician and I haven't had the best of luck with past contractors. Married 2 Electric was awesome! Rod answered his phone right away when I called and the electrician Todd was on time, super helpful, knowledgeable and friendly! Issues fixed quickly and he was considerate and clean with his work. I will use them in the future and would recommend to anyone. Thank you!!

The owner Joel is professional and friendly. Prices quoted were great and With no extra charges. He gave a couple different quotes for so we could choose which fix we wanted to do. We upped the electrical service coming into the house instead of just repairing the problem. So in the future we can add ac. Cleaned up after the job and made new labels for every circuit after he verified each one was what the label said. I highly recommend Aratech services. Will hire again if needed.

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.
