Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

What should have been a simple fix turned into my wall being ruined and a month since I asked for a resolution. They said they fixed the AC and I may not be happy with it aesthetically.  This is a joke.

2020- leaking AC. Fixed by blowing air through. Good job.

2022-

Visit 1 leaked again. Under warranty. Came out and vacuumed the pipe (said was easier) and still leaked and somehow sold me an extra $100 to just vaccuum another tube and still leaked.

Visit 2 blew air out finally but couldn't get the unit back on and slammed it back in. Started leaking after he left due to tube kinking. Marks and handprints where.

Visit 3. Manager came and was great. Fixed issue temporarily during heatwave but was an inch gap. Said they'd send a team to take unit off and reinstall after cutting back some tubes.  

Visit 4- Guy from visit 2 came back. Instead of cutting tubes back, he raise the unit and left a huge hole and the wall was ruined and hardwood below got ruined from all the water leaking. Spackled it and it looked awful and said to let his manager know as they were in a rush for another job.

Emails and calls later, they said they'd send someone to fix/ paint the wall. It's been over 35 days and no resolution. I waited long enough.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to hire Greg for our electrical needs since his schedule is so packed, but I did have a chance to talk to him and he explained ways on how to fix my issue without calling an electrician.  I was taken aback on how straight forward he was and how he cares about his customers and wants to save them $.  If we have any issues in the future def will call him!

I have nothing but praise for Larry and his crew. I had to have an electric  panel box replaced on my house. I had no electricity, and my house is all electric. . After no luck with two other electricians, I finally got the work done right and a fair price. I will definitely use them again if the need arises.

Jim and his crew have done quite a bit of work for us in the last year. They're always fairly priced, organized, on time, and very professional. We're going to continue to rely on Jim for more work. Thanks!!

Out of the blue we had some work that needed done on our home. We reached out to JDV and that same day, we had someone at our house to complete the work. Piro was extremely professional from the beginning, took  the time to thoroughly explain the work that needed done and WHY, all while completing the job in a quick manner. My wife and I both work from home and their was no disruption or distraction to our day while they were at our home.

Will for sure use JDV in the future and will recommend them out to family, friends, and clients of mine.

Thanks again, bravo!!

Tony and Edison worked hard all day on a ethernet network and surround sound installation that turned out to be longer and more complicated than originally thought, but only charged the agreed estimate.

They did a really great job, using their expertise and skill to figure out the best way to run the wiring with only 3 drywall holes for fishing wire when I was expecting the job to require 7. Afterwards, they even did a first layer patch on the three holes. There was not much space behind the drywall making the job pretty hard, but they accommodated all my requests and gave great advice when I was suggesting ideas that were obviously bad in retrospect.

Other electricians I had contacted said they would not terminate the ethernet cables, not do any patching of the drywall at all, or tried to sell us on running the cables outside the house just because it would be easier for them. iTech Electric were the most professional, the smartest and most reliable out of any I talked to, while still being in line on pricing with other providers. I could not recommend them more highly!

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 received several quotes for a 240 V hook up for a new hot tub. GE electric was the best value. Edmond and two helpers showed up on time at 8:30 in the morning. They ran into an unforeseen obstacle with the slab which extended the job by half a day. The finished product is very professional and works perfectly. Edmond did not try to get more money for the added time nor did I hear any grumblings from any of them. They were a pleasure to work with and I will keep them in my contacts for future business. I highly recommend GE electric.

CJ did an awesome job running new wiring from my panel to a new outlet for a sauna I am installing. He was attentive to detail, clean work, no damage to walls - looks like he was never here. Highly recommend for quality work at good price. Responded to me an completed the job in less than 24hrs from my first outreach.

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.

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.

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 had these guys out to my house for several jobs. They are always nice, competent and efficient. This last visit the man put in 3 hard wired smoke detectors, identified which breaker they were on, put in a light switch and provided and estimate in under an hour. He also went through and put dates on all the detectors so I'd know when to change them again. Just fabulous people and have already recommended them to others.

Joel is very professional, fairly priced and gets the job done very efficiently. He is my go to electrician that is very knowledgeable and honest. I highly recommend his services from smallest to largest possible job. He will get it done for you!

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.
