Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

If you're looking for an electrician, stop now. Because Gen3 is the best you're going to find around here. You can search Angie's List, dig through jaded posts on PhillyBlog, and even ask around if you want. But chances are, you'll just end up with these guys.

We bought a house here that needed some serious TLC in the wiring dept. Bill and Chad came out, looked at things for all of 3 minutes, and knew exactly what they were getting into. They know these houses inside and out. They're all the same... Their prices were the best around. Seriously. We did some research and talked to a hand full of electricians in the process.

We had our service cable replaced along with a new board to replace the 4-breaker that came with the house. We also had the entire kitchen re-wired since we had walls down and we were still mid-demo mode. While they were doing what we agreed to, they also fixed a few things upstairs that were just wrong. They hooked us up with an outdoor plug, and also discovered a serious fire hazard a previous owner had hidden inside the walls.

I won't go into too many details about all the extra stuff they did because I don't want to give the impression that they're some kind of non-profit. All I will say is these guys are about as stand-up as you will find. They did what we agreed to, for the price they set. And in the process they fixed a few other things to make sure our home was safe. They were clean, friendly, efficient, and they all spoke English. They must order at Geno's....

We've hired Greg multiple times to do electrical work around our house -- light fixtures, ceiling fans, recessed lighting, new outlets, an exhaust fan, you name it!

He's done an excellent job with everything, has good pricing, and is very professional.  He was a pleasure to work with compared to many other contractors, and I'd highly recommend him.  I'm sure we'll be hiring him again in the future.

Larry and his crew are amazing! They installed a Nest camera doorbell (with no existing wiring), a new ceiling fan, and hung two TVs with behind the wall wiring and outlets. They were reasonably priced and the care and detail to work was impeccable. Larry and his team made sure to clean after themselves and it was like they were never there, other than all of the great work done. He did such an amazing job that a few days later when a different fan blew and our washer tripped a breaker he came in right away. He told us the washer was likely an appliance issue and STILL looked at the breaker after we told him not to worry just to make sure we didn't spend unnecessary money on a new appliance. Lauterborn is a stand up company that does efficient and precise work. We have found our go to company.

I had an electric socket replaced and a line fixed in the bathroom. It took 30 minutes.

Great job.

We've had JDV come out twice - to rewire some switches, install a couple of lamps, and add outlets to the basement. Both times we had great experiences, and the prices were fair. We'd definitely call them again.

I really appreciated the care they put into installing two lights and an outlet in my home. Tony was extremely respectful of my home, cleaned everything up after he was done, and didnt charge me extra when I'm sure most people would have, twice!  he needed to call someone else to insist with the install which I appreciated because it means he wasn't just going to try to get it done on his own for the sake of time, but wanted it done well/right. Also thank you for being mindful of the white rugs! Most workers who come out to do work leave some sort of mess behind I have to clean up. This was not the case with Itech. Tony even had little booties for his shoes so he wouldn't bring in dirt to my home. 10/10 would recommend.

Fast response and great service. My Yelp message was responded to within a day and my call was returned immediately. Good communication, on time, and great work. We're very pleased with the two pendant lights  we had installed. The price was significantly less than other companies. This is a nice young professional worthy of your business.

We will be hiring him again for another project soon.

Highly recommended.

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!

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.

So please explain to me why a business located in Princeton won't service a residence in Trenton claiming that it's not in their service area??  Mind you I used Angie's List and this company was the very first based on my zip code and the fact that it's only like a 15 min drive.  REALLY!!! You don't deserve my business anyway!! I had to pick a star so there you go.

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.

Andi and his partner Nick did a fantastic job with my house! I wanted recessed lighting done and he was very honest with getting me a quote about what he can/can't do.

They are perfectionists and want to stay to complete the job 100%.

Very professional coming on time/ earlier. Prices are fair and you definitely pay for quality. These guys do a smooth, clean job and also clean up after themselves when they're done.

I'm very pleased with the service I got and will definitely use them again one day when I redo my bathroom lights!

I highly recommend Married 2 Electric. I called on a Monday for a baseboard heater malfunction issue, and the technician was out the next day. Professional, safe, courteous and reasonably priced.

Joel and team were fantastic! Provided a quote within an hour of my initial inquiry, scheduled an appointment within 24 hours, showed up in a timely fashion, and completed the job with high quality at a very fair price.

What separates Joel and the team from others is their integrity. In my initial inquiry, he sent an idea to me for how to solve the issue without a service call. In addition, after completing the call, which was very quick, he significantly cut the invoice amount. For me, honest and integrity is just as important as the service provided, and Joel and his team provide both.

If you are looking for high quality, prompt, and high integrity service provider, hire Joel and his team! I sure will hire them for all future electric needs.

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.
