Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

Polite, efficent, did what they said they were going to do. Willing to explain stuff. Not cheap but considering that they were coming in after a handyman botch job that left us with a sparking outlet near our gas line, we were extremley grateful for their professionalism and service. Would use them again and recommend them to friends, for sure.

NOTE: I didn't have Greg do any work.

The reason I'm writing this is that I contacted him and he got right back to me saying that he doesn't come as far as Mt. Airy but that if I was handy he could probably help me do some troubleshooting on the phone. I didn't take him up on that, but I found it to be really amazing that he offered to do that.
He must be a super nice guy!

Larry is a straight shooter, and a nice guy on top of that.  He and his son do a great job, and have done a lot of work on our farm in poor weather conditions without complaint, and has swooped in to save the day in emergency situations.  Highly recommended.

Excellent customer service and communication!!  Jim was so helpful to our family during the entire process.  He sincerely wanted to help keep costs down and was flexible when we wanted additional services.  I will refer Jim & Sons Electric to my family and friends and I highly recommend their services.  The scheduling went smoothly and the work was done at the appointed time.  The areas were cleaned up after the job was done.  Thanks so much for your help Jim and we'll see you in few months for additional jobs.

Wow. I always use reviews to help decide who to hire. Google has so many more for JDV and when I came here to review them I was shocked at the 2 bad reviews. Seems 1 person is dissatisfied and had no work done and the other is upset over a price he agreed to pay.

I'm here to say otherwise. Was JDV the lowest quote. No. But a HIGH recommendation from a friend and I thank my friend for it. You get what you pay for. I got excellent work from knowledgable, friendly and courteous staff who did a phenomenal job. Won't be worried that my house will burn down with my new panel and service. Plus the quality of the panel and breakers with a built in surge protector and arc fault breakers. I feel safe. And all of the wiring was identified and labeled correctly. Thank you JDV I will be recommending you to friends and family.

All praises to iTech. Excellent service. Arrived at the beginning of the window. Looked over what was requested. Offered suggestions and answered questions. He even put on shoes covers before entering ( I had enough dust,lol). He went right to work. Edison is his name. Professional,polite and well mattered. Asked if I wanted to keep my rubbish or should he take it away. Price was right. Service ,again,Excellent. I took his card and will be referring him and also using him again in the near future for upcoming projects.

While I didn't hire them, I found them to be very thorough in the repair explanation, extremely responsive from the first call and the written estimate very thorough. I am postponing the repair.

I needed an electrician for my tenant who suddenly lost power on a hot summer day. I called GE electric after initially going with another company that had basically tried to rip me off.

Edmund, the man that responded to my call was honest, straight forward and prompt. He got to my tenant's house within half hour and fixed the problem for me under 10 minutes. He charged me a very reasonable rate, and gave me a quote to replace the box and a power cable outside of the house. He did not pressure me in any way to get all the work done, but did the minimum necessary to get the electric running again.

If you are looking for an honest electrician that will get the job done, I would highly recommend GE!

Very professional, knowledgeable, and handy. Affordable and well worth the money. CJ is so warm and charming. He came to check out the circuit breaker, his original job for coming to my home. Well I had a ring nest doorbell that had been sitting on my table for almost a year and CJ was more than happy to oblige me. Thank you CJ, you're the best. Will definitely be acquiring services from here on out. Gotta give a shout out to Pops as well. My motto now is One and Dunn!!!

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

I'd call them....amazing. The tech was very professional, knew exactly what to do, and completed the job. The cost was quite reasonable, as well. Our tech, Hector, arrived exactly when we were told. The team at Thomas Edison were really nice and easy to talk with. So, yeah, amazing.

This is the second time PEM has installed motion sensor outdoor lighting. The installation went well - we are pleased - hopefully the wild critters in our yard will not! Thanks

Tom and his trainee installed a ceiling fan in my 4th bedroom.  It is beautiful and they know what they are doing. The office staff are so friendly.  Quick easy service.  They never disappoint.

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.

Rod and his team just finished upgrading my electric panel to a 200amp and some other electrical items I needed done around the house. I called Rod about coming out for an estimate and within a week the work was done. Everything took a day and the team was very communicative in terms of letting me know how things were going. The quality of the work was superb and I intend to hire them on all future work in regards to electrical. If you want electricians who are quick, responsive and honest, this is the way to go.

Bob and Team were great. Prompt communication and super friendly. I had to get an gfci outlet installed and they came on time and briefly explained what they had to do. They also took the time to go over a few quotes with me.

I want to do additional work with them so book with them fast because they seem to getting jobs constantly.

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.
