Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

Was rescheduled THREE times. I had to take time off work to wait for the technician on three different days. When you make an appointment with them, DO NOT EXPECT THEM TO SHOW UP. Extraordinarily unprofessional. Never going to reach out to them again and I would recommend anyone who values their time to also avoid.

He was not able to do the job I needed but he took the time to explain what the work required and how much it should cost to repair.  Greg insights was extremely helpful and very appreciated.  He even provided his phone number in case I had any questions.

Really nice guy who works with his sons. Called me back within 24 hours even though I was a new customer and came by to do some small jobs for me the next day in my Center City townhouse. Was able to troubleshoot and fix everything on my list, and was fair to me with his pricing. I was pleased with the whole experience--better than electricians I've tried in the past who either haven't been good with communication or willing to do small jobs or don't really know what they're doing--Larry seemed both competent and a responsible communicator, and was personable as well. A good find!!

Excellent Communication! Arrived on time. Job well done. We will use this company again. Thank you.

When the kitchen lights flickered on their own I knew it was either paranormal or an electrical problem.  Three electricians diagnosed moisture in the panel causing erosion and faults.   I knew I was in for a hefty contractor's bill but didn't realize how much of a problem this was or how much work they'd have to do.  

The recommendation was for a new panel as well as removing one of PECO's outside meters and putting the load onto the other.  

I chose JDV for a few reasons.  Their prices were a bit more reasonable on the panel and theirs included whole house surge protection system, and updated my main grounding system.  

In talking to Anthony, the sales person also the installer, I explained my frustration at frequent power outages. Anthony recommended an outlet at the side of the house so I could hook up a 30 amp generator directly to the panel box.  This was a recommendation no other company gave and because helped me with a problem I went with JDV.  

The team of three installed;
Premium 200 AMP Panel Package * Outside service cable & meter socket * 200 AMP Panel - full copper buss bar * Whole house surge protection system * Update main grounding system * Label all circuits, took the outside main PECO meter apart and replaced all the wires, cleaned it's corrosion, and put silicone all around the joints to prevent further moisture from getting into it and down into the house's panel.  

Now, the cost wasn't cheap.  And, bottom line, the work is clean and I found they worked well together as a team, very professional.

horrible...they gave a $25 to find out what is wrong...checked circuit breaker...then called and asked for $185 to see what is wrong...i would not offer my credit card so they said they can't stay and left for another job they said their boss wants them to go to...

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

Whoever initially wired the house we bought wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, so they installed an outlet meant for a range in the laundry room. I needed to have that outlet swapped out for the right type.

I found GE on yelp, they offered a great rate, and off we went. They were extremely punctual and respectful of the house (they brought shoe covers!) and replaced it quickly. They even pointed out some other issues with the wiring, which I may have them take care of in the future.

I didn't have the right outlet or cord for the dryer--they had an outlet in their truck and put it in! They also came back a couple hours later once I had the right dryer cord, to finish the job.

I can't recommend them enough. Super efficient, professional, and a great job. I'll definitely be using them again in the future.

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

Called for estimate.  They came out for estimate we talked would be around $900.00. Recieved estimate with extra add ons  $2100.00. Called office stated it's a 2 man job and dangerous.  That's why I called an electrician and can't do myself.

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.

Just had Scott and Josh into replace a ceiling fan and two unsafe outlets. They arrived in the designated time window, were extremely polite and informative throughout the process. They cleanup up thoroughly after all the work and we are delighted with the results. Our old house knob and tube wiring wasn't an issue. Would totally recommend them. Only thing holding me back from 5 stars was a slight delay in the response to my first call. I left a voicemail on a Tuesday and didn't get a call back until the following Monday.  In the meantime I left a second voicemail. Since it's the start of the summer season, maybe they were on vacation the week I called.

I had a great experience with Joel.  We had two separate jobs a week apart.  Both were done very well and he even saved me money with recommendations.  Joel is very pleasant to work with and I would definitely hire him again.

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.
