Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

I have a rough experience, but Samantha followed up and did everything in her power to make it right. Based off that, I've come back and amended my original review from a 1 star to a 4.

Thanks for the excellent post sale service that you don't see much these days!

Greg is hands down the best contractor we've ever hired.  We hired Greg to correct a few electrical problems inside our very old condo as well as put in recessed lights in our living room and all of the work was done exactly as asked.  Greg is very knowledgeable and his communication skills really separate him from the previous contractor's that we've worked with.  He explained the work he was going to do, why/how he was doing it, and what the end product would be very thoroughly and he did not disappoint.  You can really tell that he loves what he does as it shows in his attitude and the work that he does.  Not only that, he is very reasonably priced.  Before starting the work, Greg quoted us an already reasonable price and we ended up paying even less when the work was completed.  We cannot say enough good things about him or his work and we will definitely be hiring Greg for all of our electrical needs in the future!

Larry's team is amazing.  Everyone is so patient, friendly, and incredibly thorough.  

Update: We recently used their services again to upgrade our electrical panel (200 amp 40 circuit) we are SO satisfied by the results!  I have future electrical projects for our new home and I will certainly use their services for each of them!

We have used Jim & Sons a few times now, particularly because they were always among the most responsive electricians. Nothing worse than never having your calls picked up or emails answered. They were also great in an emergency situation where we needed someone out basically next day, and they squeezed us in. Prices seemed fair in general. We will continue to use them and would recommend

When the kitchen lights flickered on their own I knew it was either paranormal or an electrical problem.  Three electricians diagnosed moisture in the panel causing erosion and faults.   I knew I was in for a hefty contractor's bill but didn't realize how much of a problem this was or how much work they'd have to do.  

The recommendation was for a new panel as well as removing one of PECO's outside meters and putting the load onto the other.  

I chose JDV for a few reasons.  Their prices were a bit more reasonable on the panel and theirs included whole house surge protection system, and updated my main grounding system.  

In talking to Anthony, the sales person also the installer, I explained my frustration at frequent power outages. Anthony recommended an outlet at the side of the house so I could hook up a 30 amp generator directly to the panel box.  This was a recommendation no other company gave and because helped me with a problem I went with JDV.  

The team of three installed;
Premium 200 AMP Panel Package * Outside service cable & meter socket * 200 AMP Panel - full copper buss bar * Whole house surge protection system * Update main grounding system * Label all circuits, took the outside main PECO meter apart and replaced all the wires, cleaned it's corrosion, and put silicone all around the joints to prevent further moisture from getting into it and down into the house's panel.  

Now, the cost wasn't cheap.  And, bottom line, the work is clean and I found they worked well together as a team, very professional.

Needed a quick diagnosis and repair for a wiring issue.  Called around, found high prices and inflexible schedules.  Tony quoted price estimates based on the described issue and a near-term appointment.  He was timely, friendly, courteous and professional.  Very respectful of property and COVID precautions.  Came in at the lowest quoted estimate.  Would definitely recommend and use again over those other guys.

Maleik was excellent.  He was flexible with the scheduling and ensured that I understood the work that he was completing in my home.  I definitely recommend FMJ Electrical.

I had GE electrical update my service from 100 to 200 amp . Their prices were and service was fast , on time and clean.
I highly recommend GE electrical

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

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.

So please explain to me why a business located in Princeton won't service a residence in Trenton claiming that it's not in their service area??  Mind you I used Angie's List and this company was the very first based on my zip code and the fact that it's only like a 15 min drive.  REALLY!!! You don't deserve my business anyway!! I had to pick a star so there you go.

Thomas Edison Electric came out on a Saturday and replaced two light switches in my house. The gentleman was right on time, very pleasant and professional.  These light switches are in my kitchen and very important.  I have nothing but good things to say.

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.

We needed a few things done around our house - doorbell installation, breaker and electrical panel upgrades - when we came across Married 2 Electric. Their technicians are informative and efficient, providing reasonable quotes and quality service. We will definitely be requesting our technician - Scott - for future projects. 5/5 HIGHLY recommend.

Joel was awesome! He was on time and provided a fair quote. Joel was very efficient when running the wires to my bathroom exhaust fan, and also kept me informed throughout the process. Additionally, he helped me with an issue that I asked him about last minute. I will be using Aratech Services again in the very near future.

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.
