Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

I had Gen3 out to do routine maintenance on my HVAC system and they recommended follow up work. The tech said he would send a quote, but did not, and it took multiple phone calls to even get the quote. I finally scheduled the follow up, it was cancelled not once but twice (once less than 24 hours before, once about 30 minutes before the arrival window closed) and they refused to send a different tech out. I gave ample opportunity for them to address the issue, they could not be bothered to find a solution. Atrocious experience.

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!

Amazing, hard-working crew. Larry and his sons were very quick to respond to my request for installation of a few ceiling fans and lights. Many other local electricians wouldn't even call me back. They were professional, fast and extremely knowledgeable. No job is too big or small for these guys - they had stories of jobs on full warehouses, to helping repeat customers who lose power. They know the true meaning of honesty and customer satisfaction.

Highly recommended to anyone in the Philadelphia area. Thanks again, guys.

First class professionals. These guys have consistently been on time, from responding to inquiries, to coming out for an estimate, to the day of the actual job itself. I've worked with a lot of contractors and this is a very rare occurrence. Moreover, they do outstanding work for very fair prices. Would definitely recommend.

I don't hire contractors often. When I do I'm extremely particular and critical. JDV did excellent work. Great pricing. Courteous. Clean. If ever I need an electrician again. I will surely call.

Tony and his team (Edison and another guy whose name I did not catch) were great. They were quick to schedule, troubleshot the nuances of my job, were very professional, and 40% cheaper than the other bids I received for the same work. Highly recommend.

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

I received several quotes for a 240 V hook up for a new hot tub. GE electric was the best value. Edmond and two helpers showed up on time at 8:30 in the morning. They ran into an unforeseen obstacle with the slab which extended the job by half a day. The finished product is very professional and works perfectly. Edmond did not try to get more money for the added time nor did I hear any grumblings from any of them. They were a pleasure to work with and I will keep them in my contacts for future business. I highly recommend GE electric.

I had an issue with one of my properties in port Richmond losing power in the kitchen and bathroom. We tried flipping the breakers off and on and that didn't work so needed a solution quick. I sent out a request on Yelp for electricians and Charles replied promptly. He offered emergency services to come out and troubleshoot at a reasonable rate (this was Friday night at 9pm) and mentioned if it could wait, it would be a lesser rate the next day. I decided on the next day and he offered me a generous time window. The next day he arrives half and hour early and texts me to give me a heads up and then he proceeds to work. In the end the voltage loss was due to wiring and he redid some of the wiring for a reasonable price. I was not at the property at the time but Charles gave me an option to view the invoice over email and make payment securely online. Overall I was thoroughly impressed with his response time and his ability to help me out when I was in a pickle without overcharging. Definitely will contact Charles again for future electric projects.

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.

David came 10 minutes earlier that was originally estimated. With confidents and professionalism, the issue with the power outlets was resolved in very short time.
I will highly recommend  Princeton Electrical Makeover to anyone who cares about resolving any electrical issues with confidence. Great job. Thank you!

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.

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.

I had these guys out to my house for several jobs. They are always nice, competent and efficient. This last visit the man put in 3 hard wired smoke detectors, identified which breaker they were on, put in a light switch and provided and estimate in under an hour. He also went through and put dates on all the detectors so I'd know when to change them again. Just fabulous people and have already recommended them to others.

Joel is great to work with. We have now had him out for 2 different visits for various electrical fixes and projects. He fixed a bunch of issues that came up on our home inspection for our new home. He added an electric outlet so we could hook up an electric dryer. Today we had him out to install some new lighting in our living room that has 18 foot ceilings. He does great work at a fair price. He is also great with communication and is quick to answer any questions. We will for sure be calling him again!

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.
