Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

I had a problem with kitchen lights flickering when small appliances were being used.  My handyman told me to call an electrician and I found Gen 3 online with great reviews. From the initial call for service with Jessica who was super nice and very informative to the outstanding service I received from John on the service call, I do not hesitate to recommend them highly for anyone's electrical needs.  I normally do not write many reviews but in this case I wanted to make sure that John and Jessica received the great reviews they deserve. I now have a go to electrician for any future needs.

We love Greg! We bought an old house with some peculiar wiring. He let us know the pros and cons of making various changes and feel that he was very honest with us. He also fixed our loose faucet free of charge! He got major bonus points when he texted my wife and I a picture of our cat to show us she was doing okay while he was at our house working. We wholeheartedly recommend him and will always contact him in the future for all of our electrical needs.

Larry and his crew just completed rewiring my house and bringing it up to code, and installed lighting as well.  There were the consummate professionals, immediately putting me at ease and they did a fantastic job for a very good value.  I would recommend them enthusiastically for any electrical job that you have!

Very good service. Reasonable quotes. We had our electric fixtures changed and they did a great job. We also hired them for wiring our audio system in the living room and they did nice work. We trust them to be good and not overcharge. I hope they stay this way. It's very hard to find businesses that don't try to overcharge these days. Thanks Jim and sons!

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.

I reached out to them for the installation of drop lights. They didn't leave the covers for the lights and didn't complete the installation we agreed upon. I call them back at least twice a month. They use a 3rd party service that screens their call. I have yet to hear from them. Still calling twice a month.

I've only had my inspection so far but I really recommend this company! A Black owned business with wonderful workers. Maliek was professional, knowledgeable, and super nice. He was able to explain everything to me as a first time homebuyer in a way that made sense. He also went over my home inspection with me and found issues that the inspector didn't. Also I was given two price points to choose from for the work I wanted. Great all around!

GE services services has done a number of jobs for me. They have always done a good job, come in on budget, have been flexible and been easy to work with. JQ

They were super responsive and timely. They explained everything including sending me a solution to an additional project I was considering in the future. Everything was done well.

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

Service was efficient and thorough. They also took care to ensure adequate permits were issued from the township prior to the work being scheduled.

Service was fast and the electrician was knowledgeable and thorough in diagnosing and resolving several wiring issues in my older home.

Andi came out to install an outdoor light, and find the route of a problem with some old wiring. Both tasks completed successfully. He did a third while on location when asked. The company was very quick to respond to initial email and they set up a very quick appointment. Andi was very knowledgeable and extremely efficient. Couldn't ask for a better experience.

Rock solid team.  Rod came out for the estimate and we talked through several ideas.  They had no issue with the revising the estimate based on changes we made.  Scheduling was quick.

Stephen and Brandon came for two days worth of work and were excellent to deal with.  They worked well as a team and moved quickly.  They were both very knowledgeable, took excellent care of the house while they worked, and cleaned up very well both days.  They had great attitudes and are full of positivity.

This team will be my new go-to!

Joel was awesome! He was on time and provided a fair quote. Joel was very efficient when running the wires to my bathroom exhaust fan, and also kept me informed throughout the process. Additionally, he helped me with an issue that I asked him about last minute. I will be using Aratech Services again in the very near future.

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.
