Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

If you want to pay the highest price possible and get ripped off, go with Gen3. I was quoted a min of $10k (highest was around $20k!!) of electrical work to be done by one of their male reps. I then got two other inspection-certified electricians to also take a look and guess what? ALMOST EVERYTHING that NEEDED work, I was told absolutely did not need to be touched. Two completely separate, private and reputable electricians. The quotes I received from them you ask? $3-5k. My house is 720sq ft

I was also not given a detailed and clear explanation of why I needed such an expensive upgrade. Just that this and that was needed and they would provide a first patch to the walls.

I truly believe I was quoted this obscene number due to the fact that I am young, a woman and a first time homeowner.

Shame on you Gen3

This review is late but just a couple of quick comments about Greg and his work.  Back in July, I called Greg on a whim while looking up electricians on a Google search.  From the moment I called and spoke with him and explained the work we needed completed, I genuinely liked him.  He was very knowledgeable.  Setting up the appointment was easy and he came out to install a new electrical box for our new washer/dryer hook-up.  He even offered to replace our original box and the wiring that came with.  My husband and I couldn't be happier with his work and detail.  We plan on calling Greg for our other jobs throughout our fixer-upper.

Update to my previous review: still 5 stars!! Going on three years of using Lauterborn for all our electrical needs and haven't been disappointed. Most recently had them over to do 3 separate jobs and they still squeezed in fixing a heinous basement light situation as a total surprise for me. Love working with them!

Consistently helpful and responsive. Prices are competitive and they always send nice guys to get the job done.

This company charges a $49 fee for coming out and giving an estimate, which is creditable against the job if you hire them.  The fee they quoted for the job I wanted done wasn't just high; it was utterly absurd.  I got another licensed electrician to do the job for less than one quarter of their quoted price.  Their electrician also began trying to up-sell me on other services the minute he walked in, before even looking at the job he was called to quote on.  In my experience this is a racket to collect $49 estimating fees without doing any work.  Stick with contractors who provide free estimates.

These guys are great - I called in the morning, had service done in the afternoon, and the price was extremely reasonable.  They will be my go-to company for any future electrical work.  I strongly recommend them!

They said they'd have a technician call me a week ago about a doorbell transformer placement. That never happened.

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.

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

I found Princeton Electrical Makeover via the Tesla site.  They were fantastic through out the process of estimating, quoting, scheduling and installation.  I really appreciated the thorough communications, attention to detail and the clean work.  I am ready to take delivery of my Model 3 next month!

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

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.

Had married 2 electric install a ceiling fan in my bedroom. My 100 year home posed some nuisances but the guys at married to electric were up to the challenge which included sawing out wood that had prevented the previous ceiling fan from being properly anchored . Prompt service. On time. Great guys

The owner Joel is professional and friendly. Prices quoted were great and With no extra charges. He gave a couple different quotes for so we could choose which fix we wanted to do. We upped the electrical service coming into the house instead of just repairing the problem. So in the future we can add ac. Cleaned up after the job and made new labels for every circuit after he verified each one was what the label said. I highly recommend Aratech services. Will hire again if needed.

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.
