Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

Don't hire these guys - very prompt and professional on giving pricey estimates, but after hiring them to do a big knob and tube remediation and upgrade job, they are weeks behind in wrapping up their work. I was promised they would wrap up on six separate occasions and each time a technician comes out to fix things more stuff is broken, and it takes two weeks to schedule another visit. Baffled by all of the high reviews for these guys, definitely expected more from such a high priced and well reviewed service, but these guys are no better than a crooked fly by night discount service.

Greg unfortunately wasn't able to service my area, but quickly responded offered to help (which is such a rare occurrence these days) by sending a troubleshooting doc and providing his number for additional help. Great customer service (amazingly even if you're not a customer of his). Thanks Greg!

We used the guys at Lauterborn Electric for rewiring during a kitchen remodel.  The prior homeowners had some interesting ideas on how electric works, but Larry and his team addressed everything and did a great job rewiring and getting everything up to code for the remodel.  They went over the top to make sure we were satisfied and were extremely thorough.  Most importantly, I feel confident that the work was done correctly, is safe and won't cause me problems down the line.  

I would highly recommend Larry and the team for whatever job, big or small.

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 don't hire contractors often. When I do I'm extremely particular and critical. JDV did excellent work. Great pricing. Courteous. Clean. If ever I need an electrician again. I will surely call.

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.

Maleik was excellent.  He was flexible with the scheduling and ensured that I understood the work that he was completing in my home.  I definitely recommend FMJ Electrical.

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 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

I'd call them....amazing. The tech was very professional, knew exactly what to do, and completed the job. The cost was quite reasonable, as well. Our tech, Hector, arrived exactly when we were told. The team at Thomas Edison were really nice and easy to talk with. So, yeah, amazing.

Although I had to wait a few days, the service provided was fair, professional and courteous. Would recommend.

I can't say enough good things about Thomas Edison Electric. They are a very timely, professional and great company. I called later in the evening frantic when I found out that I would be responsible for having an electrical pole fixed on my dollar. Tom was very kind and understanding, he was upfront about the cost of an emergency call and coming out the next day, which isn't something you usually hear from companies when there's an emergency. The techs came out on time the next day while also calling in advance which was a nice courtesy. They performed the tasks necessary to fix the pole and also helped my father in law with the generator. My father in law spoke very highly of them and was so impressed by their honesty and commitment. It's rare to find quality companies that are professional like Edison.

I was happy with the work done by EP Electric; they were very responsive in December when I needed 2 outdoor outlets replaced. They came within a day of the request sent to several electricians.  While at my house I asked for an estimate to have some switches changed to dimmers. The next time I needed an electrician was to change out some light fixtures. Again, EP Electric was pretty responsive and available in my timeframe. Since I had used them before, I was comfortable having them come out. When that job was complete, I again discussed the dimmers I wanted and we discussed when I wanted to get the work done.  We are working on a schedule for this week and I think it will really add to the ambiance of my house. Looking forward to it.

Excellent service! Fast professional and efficient. I would definitely use them again and recommend to my family and friends!

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.
