Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA
I have used Gen 3 Electric once thus far, and am scheduled to have them do additional work next week... thus far, they have installed many smart dimmer switches, and are scheduled to install a ceiling fan and Tesla charger. Customer service is friendly, and scheduling appointments has been easy. The work itself I am very satisfied with..l will update with additional details once the rest of the work is done.

I work for the University City Arts League and we called Greg with an SOS to help us with some track lighting in our gallery that we needed for an art opening in a few days. He gave us some suggestions on of things to do on our own then checked in the next day to see if we'd gotten it sorted out. We hadn't been able to fix the problem so he stopped by and had us up and running in about a half an hour. His price was VERY reasonable for such a rush job. Thanks Greg!

As a business owner for over 20 years I have seen a lot of self employed people come and go. What makes a good company survive while others flounder ?? A good product, a good price, and standout people that you can know and trust..
I had used Lauterborn Electric once for a job (over a year ago) and I was happy with the upfront, honest and friendly way in which they presented a resolve to my issue. They did a good enough job that I referred them to a friend....who was happy that I did.
I REALLY needed the Lauterborn Electricricians when I recently had a fire in my place of business. Larry Lauterborn answered his phone (which is a good indication of how their business is run) and he began to help that day with advice on what steps to take in my situation. They came out the next day with a quote for the repairs and when I agreed, they started the following day. I could blah blah blah you with all the details but I think you get where it's going.
He has his 2 sons that work for him also and its nice to see that they are walking right in his footsteps. Kudos to you Larry, you are a good electrician and an even better role model for your well mannered boys.
Can't speak highly enough about the company and I won't be calling anyone else for electrical work.

I was having issues in my house where appliances were turning off during operation and lights were flickering.
A google search indicated that this could be a fire hazard. I called my usual electrician and waited. After several hours of waiting and never hearing anything back I called four other electricians and didn't hear a single thing from any of them either.
I reached out to my plumber and asked for a recommendation -- he recommended JDV and they called me within a few minutes of me reaching out. The woman on the phone was extremely polite and helpful and let me know someone could come out that same day. She even called me prior to their arrival so I would have an idea when they would be here.
Joe was on-site and diagnosed the issue. He was able to diagnose my problem quickly and was able to do the repairs the same week (permits were required so he had to come back).
Overall I am extremely happy with JDV -- I already recommended them to family members and will be using them for more work within the next few months. You can't go wrong with JDV!

I meant to write this review a few months ago but I figure its better late than never. 1st, they gave me an estimate and when the work was done there was no difference, no hidden cost. Awesome!!!! 2nd, They were flexible with my schedule which was great. The 2 gentlemen were respectful, they clean up after themselves and they told me everything that they were gonna do and explained every process of the job that I was asking them to do.
I would use them again for sure!!!!

I needed a home EV charging set up and FAST. Charles was super responsive when I was looking to schedule an estimate (he came out the next morning), gave an excellent estimate, and was more than flexible with scheduling the work.
Initial contact Thursday afternoon, estimate Friday morning, and work completed Tuesday (Charles and Julian were willing to do the work on Friday morning, but I was shopping other estimates before making my decision).
The work was done exactly to the specifications, no mess left after work was completed, and he added in a clever receptable protector because he thought it would be good - at no additional cost.
Charles and Julian worked from 2:15-8:30 pm (!) and didn't leave until they were sure that my husband and I were satisfied and my car was charging.
I would highly recommend DunnMaster Electric for any electrical needs.
Charles is a motivated young man working hard to build his customer base, and he's gained a new one today!
Both Charles and Julian are personable, professional, and tuned in to their customer needs.
Highly recommend!!

Responded to inquiry for estimate of replacing ceiling fan in timely manner, easy to work with in coordinating appointment, professional and efficient work. Safety precautions taken during pandemic time without being asked- wore mask in our home, kept distance when communicating with us. Appreciate he also wore shoe covers as respect for our floors. Quality work done. Will use them again for future work needs.

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.

Rod, the owner I believe, was responsive to my initial request for a quote, and came out to the house to provide the quote - when it was convenient for US. He was professional, polite, and willingly answered our many questions. He provided a fair reasonably priced quote (more than reasonable), and did the work about a month ago - installing electric baseboard heaters in the finished basement, where the parents moved in. They did an impeccable job, left the place as clean or cleaner, and it looks and feels great. I waited to write the review to make sure everything was working properly, and it certainly is. I will use Married 2 Electric for future projects I have planned.

I just moved into the Furlong area from Manhattan. Don't know anyone here. I looked up reviews of various electricians but they were either expensive or had bad reviews. One fellow from another company came out and gave me a high estimate. I was looking for someone to put in two receptacles on its own 15 amp breaker in the basement and run a Cat 6 ethernet line there as well. Plus change the ends of three phone connectors in my home to Ethernet as Cat 5E wiring was already in place.
After getting some high prices I finally found Joel who owns Aratechservices. He didn't have any reviews on Yelp (though there were some hidden reviews blocked by their bot) but he did have some on Google. They were all good. So I called Joel and he talked with me for a bit, not making me feel rushed. I explained to him what I wanted to do. Being in the IT business I had some ideas what this should cost. He said best for him to come out, see everything to give a more accurate estimate. We made an appointment a few days later and he arrived exactly on time. Went over some different plans, he listened to my thoughts and he had some good ideas as well and I was happy to the costs involved. But he said he would send over an estimate that evening so I could see the prices for everything.
Sure enough that estimate arrived by evening and it was professionally displayed with every line item detailed and the plan explained. There was a place where I could modify the plan or accept as is. I chose to modify slightly our idea and he agreed and kept it at the same price even though it required some more time on his behalf.
Joel arrived couple days later with his assistant Tim and immediately began running the electrical line to the basement. I was right away impressed as his assistant held a vacuum to collect all the debris! They routed the line through conduit that was the shortest and cleanest route they could find. Had to cut a square into the basement ceiling for access. Then they ran the CAT 6. Same attention to detail to drop it down. Capped it off with a two gang plate with two receptacles and an ethernet jack. While he was doing this part he said he could easily install two electrical receptacles in the garage that could be handy in the future. At NO additional cost. I said sure lets do it and was very happy about that.
Joel then moved on to the router side where we were going to take three ethernet outputs and run it to Verizon punch down block so I could get ethernet in the three other rooms. But then we had a thought. Since he just provided two ac receptacles near the Verizon box how about we put a 5 port ethernet switch right inside and then we only need one ethernet coming out of the router. I had a few switches being in the computer business. This would cut down running two other lines and make the whole thing easier. Joel agreed and now we had a better setup. After this was completed he terminated the three phone lines with ethernet jacks and we tested all of them by doing a speed test. Sure enough I was getting 1 Gig to all locations as I have 1 Gig coming from the Fios router. He also had his voltage/electrical meter on the new ac line the whole time testing as well.
At this point everything was done other then cleanup. I noticed Tim was no longer around. The only thing I was concerned about was that square hole in the basement ceiling. Was he going to cover that? I didn't say anything to Joel to see what would happen. Then I mentioned Where is Tim? Is he all done as I wanted to say goodbye and thank him with a tip. That's when Joel said he sent him to Home Depot as he did not have a cover for the basement ceiling. Sure enough Tim arrived back ten minutes later with the cover and they installed it. As they were leaving (after 5 hours of solid work) I asked Joel about payment and he said he would send the bill electronically and I could pay using Paypal. He must have been busy that night or tired as I didn't receive until the next night. To cap it all off he actually reduced the price of the original estimate. Since we changed the plan by putting in the switch he didn't need as many parts and time to complete the job. He passed those savings on to me and I immediately sent payment!
All in all I am extremely satisfied with the work Joel and Tim from Aratechservices performed. They are super professional. Highly recommend for any electrical 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.
