Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

From my first telephone call to the completed project, Generation 3 was a pleasant experience. Evan Painter was the electrician Generation 3 sent out to my home. He was polite and respectful of my residence. I previously had a TV moved from one wall to another wall, and I wasn't happy with the look of the open cable box and I didn't need the electrical outlet on the wall. Evan carefully explained the work that needed to be completed and gave me several options with corresponding quotes. He did an excellent job covering a cable box, closing off an electrical outlet, and went the extra step to fill in some holes in the wall left by the screws for the old TV mount. I am very happy with Evan's work ethic and I would not hesitate to call Generation 3 for any electrical work in the future.

I have hired Greg for a range of electrical projects from a complete re-wiring on one property, to the selective addition of lights and outlets in another.  The most important thing that I would say about Greg is that he takes the time to understand your electrical project.  Greg will think about where an outlet or a light is actually needed, and not just where is it easy to get the wire.  He will also carefully consider all the options for running the wires, and not just reach for the surface mount when things get tricky.  Finally, when holes do need to be made, Greg is clean, careful, and will take the extra time needed to pull wires through a small hole.  He is a pleasure to work with, and his work is highly recommended.

I'm currently undergoing home renovations in South Philly and needed an electrician to rewire the entire house. I didn't know any reputable contractors (seems like a common problem here), so I took to Yelp to help in my search. After an hour of researching/reading reviews, I ended up calling several electricians to seek estimates.

I didn't end up going with Lauterborn Electric (due to a timing issue on my end), but I felt obliged to write them a positive review because Larry was nothing short of professional during my dealings with him.

He showed up on time for his appointment, and I showed him through my 3-story row home (part of which was demoed). He was very cordial, and you could tell he knew what he was talking about.

His quote came a couple days later. It was well organized/itemized. His price seemed very reasonable and in line with most of the other valid quotes I received. He even spent the time to discuss things with me over the phone at length, without making it seem like I was wasting his time or rushing him.

My schedule unexpectedly got pushed up, so as I stated previously, I was forced to go with another competitor. However, I would have absolutely no qualms having Larry do work on my house. I wish there were more easily accessible professionals like him in this city.

Jim and Sons is our go to electrician since we moved to the Abington area.  We had a bunch of 2 prong outlets in our house that needed to be converted to 3 prong.  I reached out to a few companies on Yelp and Jim was the first to respond with the most fair price.  Joe was right on time when he showed up and did the job quickly.  He is a professional and obviously knows his work because he answered all the questions I had.  I am now in the process of hiring them for more electrical work.  These guys will have my business for a long time; I highly recommend!

Joe was easy to work with, came prepared for my condo building's insurance rules and did a great job. I have used a lot of contractors in my home and JDV was efficient and by far the cleanest.

ITech were awesome.  They replaced my breaker box.  They were extremely nice, knowledgeable and did a first class job.

I would recommend them to my mom.

I highly recommend FMJ electrical.  I called them Monday to install a wire from ceiling fan to  power outlet near the floor.  Next day technician arrived on time to estimate cost and do the job. It was made complicated because the wire had to traverse an air duct.  Mike estimated the cost of the job on the spot and I am very happy that he used an estimating book and gave me a great price. Took him two hours to install wire and patch the five holes he had to make.  Mike did a perfect job.  I will definitely use them again.

Let just start with GE Electrical Services saved the day......Monday 20, 2020 we were doing a small plumbing job that just consist of adding shut off vales....unknowing to us the water dripped down in the basement and got on wires that were old, rusted and exposed. It cause half of our building to go out and start an electrical spark, we thought as we smelled the burnt wires. We had to think fast and called several electrical companies and did not have any luck, mind you this was on MLK holiday at 6:30 at night. I looked on Yelp and came across GE Electrical Services and our Hero Edmond the service manager answered the phone and said he would be right over. He stated it would only take him 20 min to arrive and once he did he kicked right into action, he identified the issue and stated that there was a fire in the wall. He worked quickly to cut the power to the dangerous old, rusted and exposed wires to ensure safety. He also let us know that 3 new lines would have to be ran and that he would email us the cost and schedule us for his next appointment Wednesday 22, 2020. Edmond and his company GE Electrical Services came and got the job done very professional and friendly. The services they provided , excellent customer service and reasonable prices I would recommend them to all and will be using them for any future services. Thanks GE Electrical Services You Rock!!!

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!!

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.

Alex was great! He was nice, patient, reasonably priced, and efficient. It was very clear that he knows what he is doing and takes the time to explain some things about the electrical wiring in your house, if you're interested. I will definitely use him again.

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

Andi and his partner Nick did a fantastic job with my house! I wanted recessed lighting done and he was very honest with getting me a quote about what he can/can't do.

They are perfectionists and want to stay to complete the job 100%.

Very professional coming on time/ earlier. Prices are fair and you definitely pay for quality. These guys do a smooth, clean job and also clean up after themselves when they're done.

I'm very pleased with the service I got and will definitely use them again one day when I redo my bathroom lights!

I highly recommend Married 2 Electric. I called on a Monday for a baseboard heater malfunction issue, and the technician was out the next day. Professional, safe, courteous and reasonably priced.

I had a great experience with Joel.  We had two separate jobs a week apart.  Both were done very well and he even saved me money with recommendations.  Joel is very pleasant to work with and I would definitely hire 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.
