Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

I just bought a house in East Kensington.  It's really huge on the inside and so wireless wasn't going to be reliable and the space is too big to just staple LAN cables to the baseboards... I needed a professional CAT6A install.

Gen3 got it done for me and their techs were really knowledgeable.  They also got through some complicated issues in my building and they did a good patch job on the walls when the job was complete.

They left very pretty ethernet drops in every room in my house with very minimal wall damage, all I have to do is just paint over their patches!

I'm definitely using Gen3 again in the future for any electrical/cabling projects.

Greg is the only electrician that I use now! He is knowledgeable, explains the problem and his proposed solution carefully. He is a great communicator and his work is of the highest quality. I have had him replace my electric meter (major job!) and install a floodlight/camera system. He is up to date on the latest electric codes, so everything is done just right. His work is high-quality and I will recommend him to anyone who's looking for an electrician!

When I had him install my floodlight/camera system, I had to wait a few months before he could come out, but I was happy to wait. He's that good!

Really nice guy who works with his sons. Called me back within 24 hours even though I was a new customer and came by to do some small jobs for me the next day in my Center City townhouse. Was able to troubleshoot and fix everything on my list, and was fair to me with his pricing. I was pleased with the whole experience--better than electricians I've tried in the past who either haven't been good with communication or willing to do small jobs or don't really know what they're doing--Larry seemed both competent and a responsible communicator, and was personable as well. A good find!!

We had the power to our stove/microwave/garbage disposal go out and spent some money for someone else to do (what we now know was) a quick fix. When it went down again we brought some people out to diagnose. Turns out we needed to wire that fuse to our main box which someone neglected to do prior to use owning the house. The quotes that came in were insanely high but weren't sure. Jim and Sons came out, diagnosed the exact same problem and quoted a much more reasonable price. The thought then creeps in your head, Well what if their work ends up being shoddy due to the price?. Nothing could be further from the truth. Our crew showed up on time, were courteous and went to work right away. Job took exactly the amount of time they estimated and they did an excellent job. I will be calling them for all my electrician needs in the future! Thanks so much.

This company charges a $49 fee for coming out and giving an estimate, which is creditable against the job if you hire them.  The fee they quoted for the job I wanted done wasn't just high; it was utterly absurd.  I got another licensed electrician to do the job for less than one quarter of their quoted price.  Their electrician also began trying to up-sell me on other services the minute he walked in, before even looking at the job he was called to quote on.  In my experience this is a racket to collect $49 estimating fees without doing any work.  Stick with contractors who provide free estimates.

Meter socket/pan needed to be replaced. Edison and crew came out and did the work quickly for a fair price. Prompt, communicative, competent, and professional. 100% would use them for repeat business.

very professional , honest service
no hidden surprises with pricing
very pleased and would use again and recommend

I contacted GE Electrical Services after a bad electrician wired my house completely wrong. Edmond gave me a fair price to correct all the issue. His team does not cut corners and they make sure everything was up to code. Communication was good. I will be calling them for all my future projects.

CJ and his team are thorough, hardworking, communicative and courteous. I needed to have my 100+ year-old home completely rewired from knob and tube electric. CJ met with me, explained the process, presented his credentials, and answered my questions. He was able to get the job done faster and less expensive than other quotes, without sacrificing quality. CJ and his team went above and beyond in multiple respects, were flexible to meeting requests during the process, and frequently communicated and proved their dedication to customer service and excellence in performance. Would definitely recommend using DunnMaster Electric for any electrical needs!

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

After talking to the owner of the company I've got to change my review for this  company Steve said he would do whatever he could to help us now that's good service. I hope to b doing business with them real soon

Very proactive as they came out to service the day after I left a message. I would recommend them to anyone!

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.

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.

My wife called on a Monday for a baseboard heater malfunction issue, and the technician was out the very next day. Professional, safe, courteous and reasonably priced for the project. Highly recommend Married 2 Electric for your needs. They will be fair and won't try to sell you on unnecessary work at your home.
(FYI, mask worn the entire time he was on our property. Even when outside on the phone).

The owner Joel is professional and friendly. Prices quoted were great and With no extra charges. He gave a couple different quotes for so we could choose which fix we wanted to do. We upped the electrical service coming into the house instead of just repairing the problem. So in the future we can add ac. Cleaned up after the job and made new labels for every circuit after he verified each one was what the label said. I highly recommend Aratech services. Will hire again if needed.

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.
