Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA
So I've had gen 3 do estimates twice now. Both times the estimates were wrong. First time I had a tech tell me he couldn't do the rewrite job I wanted because my outlets were in the baseboards. Hello we're in philly. Lots of people have this. And he wanted me to put them in the wall according to code then just cap off the junction boxes in the baseboard. Also their quote was crazy high and didn't even included al of what I wanted.
I posted a pretty generous yelp review and Bill W (owner) reached out and apologized. As far as being polite, on time, friendly, and professional, g3 is great. They can definitely alleviate the headache of dealing with contractors...for a price.
Fast forward to a second chance: estimate for a rewrite of a single room and a ductless air conditioner installation. Same thing. Easy scheduling. Friendly office staff. Guy shows up on time, wipes his feet at the door, is super affable. Great, right?
I guess. But affability doesn't do the job. We go over the job and every step of the way he's trying to sell me additional services. I humor him but pushback to the issues that need immediate attention. We discuss rewriting 3 outlets by flying a UF wire up the side of the house from the breaker panel. We discuss the ductless AC. Now he's trying to get me to add more outlets to the job. Update my service connection. Update my panel. We're both polite and I decline. He leaves.
I get my quote emailed to me. Very professional looking, and itemized. I see that it costs ~$2k. I'm like wow jfc let's do it! Then I see that's just for the THREE OUTLETS. No AC at all.
And just so you know I'm not all bullshit, I had another electrician do a similar rewire job for $800. He was licensed and insured and everything. Job took half a day.
Let that sink in. A $1200 difference. Would you pay $1200 for a dude to show up in a polo shirt, make chit chat, and have the friendly disposition of a sales associate? No. You'd rather bitch about scheduling, being on time, and save a grand.
Two stars because of the convenience of getting a terrible quote, and the nice folks that work there. I recommend Lou Matarazzo or Mighty Moe Electric for honest work with a slight hassle.
Full honesty: I think this business practice is truly predatory and it relies on positive online reviews. I think it's great that this is a family business, but it's quite awful how they take advantage of a more-well-off neighborhood rife with ancient housing stock. And personally, outrageous prices don't justify friendly service.

Disclaimer: I've never hired this guy for anything because he is always booked so far in advance it's never convenient for me because I am not the long-range planning type.
However, I felt I should acknowledge that the last time I queried him, he gave me tons of help and advice on the phone even though we'd established up front that our schedules were incompatible. I would hire this guy in a second if he were ever available when I am.

I have used Lauterborn more times than I can count. The range of services have been complete electrical overhauls to simple installations of fixtures and every time I'm impressed with their service. Larry and his sons are both knowledgable and entertaining. When it comes to contractors it's important to me that they clearly communicate before, during and after the job AND are on time. Lauterborn makes good in all of them. Estimates are upheld and they show up within the small window we agree to. I will continue to use and, more importantly, recommend them to others (and have).

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!

Joe was easy to work with, came prepared for my condo building's insurance rules and did a great job. I have used a lot of contractors in my home and JDV was efficient and by far the cleanest.

Great service and at good value! I trusted the reviews here before going with them to get a nema outlet installed in my garage. The electrician came out at the time they slated, was efficient and got the job done in a timely manner. Pricing was great I wouldn't hesitate to use them again for any future work!

My Wife has been on my back for 2 years about this chest freezer we purchased but needed a dedicated electrical outlet line for before hooking it up. The freezer had been sitting due to the fact I was dreading looking for an Electrician to do the wiring. So many contractors waste your time by not responding, not showing up, inaccurate pricing, incomplete work, and of course shoddy workmanship. The research process in finding a contractor is very tedious because you want to avoid any of the above from becoming your reality. I am ecstatic, thankful, and joyous that my vetting process matched me with FMJ Electrical. Here's why:
Easy & Thorough Communication - I was able to submit my inquiry via yelp. We then spoke by phone to make sure all details and information was clear.
Fast Scheduling - Was able to fit me in the schedule upon talking to him.
Prompt - Contacted me the night before to remind me of the appointment. That showed me they valued not only my time, but also their time as well. Arrived on time the day of appointment and was ready to work.
Excellent Work - Flawlessly performed my new outlet installation. Ran it directly to the box inside the wall. Another quote I received from another provider would run it through tubing outside the wall and have the outlet external on top of the wall. FMJ did everything behind the wall and recessed the actual outlet. Also, the placement of the outlet was better than what I had imagined. I thought it would be higher up the wall for him to save time. He actually lowered more towards the ground which made less stress on the plug. Beautiful!
Price - I was quoted an excellent price for the work I needed done. Work was completed, I paid the bill, FMJ gets paid, my Wife stops nagging me, everyone wins!!!!
Bottom line......give FMJ Electrical a call or drop a line to them on Yelp if you want your electrical needs done right, at a great price, and on time!

I read these people as zero I scheduled online through Yelp app the appointment was confirmed based on their timeline my husband stayed home from work today to meet these people and no one ever showed up no one ever called me this is poor business practices and we would not recommend this service to no one

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!

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.

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!!

Amazing team of John and Chris were efficient and quick while providing quality work. Reached out to Married 2 Electric and they were on time early the next morning to assess and remedy the outage in some of our lights. Thanks guys!

Everything you want in an electrician - skill, experience, reliability, attention to detail, reasonable prices. I've used Joel at least 4 times so far and will continue to do so until they outlaw electricity or electricians.
Philadelphia, PA
Love this company and the two staff electricians that were dispatched to my home. I was pretty nervous to contact an electrician from an online google search, but I was pleasantly surprised. They were honest, fast, explained well and repaired shoddy electrical work that I had done. I am truly grateful that they quickly restored electricity to my home, in time for my first Thanksgiving in my new home!
