Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

We've had positive experiences working with GEN3 twice.

Corey did a great job installing a new panel last year. When we were ready to have the knob and tube replaced, we called GEN3 again but also brought in a couple of other companies in order to be able to compare estimates. We were a little hesitant to pay the required fee for GEN3's knob and tube assessment, especially since we had already done a substantial job with them, but the fee was reasonable when we saw Mike's attention to detail in conducting the assessment (and in the end it was credited). Mike clearly communicated exactly what the job would involve and what the code requirements were, and carefully considered our wish list for new outlets and fixtures, etc.

Given the estimates from three companies, we decided to put our confidence in GEN3 again. They had sent three different options, which gave us an opportunity to clarify our priorities with regard to our budget, and Mike was helpful and patient through a series of back and forths in this process. Aaron and his team, Dan, Andy and Dan, arrived to complete the job, which was estimated to last two weeks. They were consistently professional, polite and friendly, and we appreciated their being mindful of our pets, who were a little stressed about the goings on. Working from one end of the house to the other, each day they ran new wires, patched over each hole, installed new fixtures as needed, and left everything neat and tidy. Ultimately they finished a couple of days ahead of schedule.

Jess and other folks in the office were great to work with as well, regarding scheduling and payment. When the inspector came to the house a few days later he said, Oh, GEN3-they do great work, they make my job easy. We agree.

Simply outstanding. He certainly went the extra mile to make sure we get the best service. Utilized smartphone capabilities to get an accurate estimate of what we need, and made arrangements to work around his schedule to give us a more affordable quote. On a separate occasion, he spent 10 minutes on the phone giving us advice on how to troubleshoot things first before charging us for coming in. A true professional who values and understands the importance of reputation in this business.

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

JDV is a fantastic business!  They are reliable; responsive and truly care about the customer.  All of the service reps are well trained to be in the field and take care of the electrical issues.
I have had some large jobs completed; as well as small.
Everyone is very knowledgeable; caring and they explain in detail all that is being done. Joe and his entire team are terrific.
Today Steven helped me check out outlets and electrical issues!
I have my full trust in JDV! They are awesome!!! Thank you for always keeping me safe!!!

The people at ITech Electric were great to work with. Tony was quick to respond and understanding when I had to delay the initial walkthrough. It was very professional and I appreciated it. Each person was courteous and respectful of the home.  I had 4 ceiling fans and recess lighting installed in separate rooms.  Terry and Edison were informative and walked me through everything they were going to do in addition to explaining it. The job was finished within 1 day and they made sure to stick around until I was fully satisfied. I definitely recommend them and would do business with them again.

I've only had my inspection so far but I really recommend this company! A Black owned business with wonderful workers. Maliek was professional, knowledgeable, and super nice. He was able to explain everything to me as a first time homebuyer in a way that made sense. He also went over my home inspection with me and found issues that the inspector didn't. Also I was given two price points to choose from for the work I wanted. Great all around!

I needed some minor electric work done at my house to get a U&O Permit.

While these guys did the work properly and were friendly enough, their rates appear to be made up on the spot, with no breakdown of cost, and are ridiculously high.

They wanted $150 just to put in a panel directory, and charged me $800 for relatively minor electrical work. I didn't know any better, and was just desperate to get the certification at the time, but even the inspector suggested I was ripped off at that rate.

..reply  to buisness response:

I asked for a breakdown of the cost at the time of the estimate, after finding out you guys wanted $150 for the directory, just to find out if there was something else I could take  out to DIY and save money. Your employee told me they don't have that, and it's just a general amount for the work in total.

If I knew you were charging $255 just to change a 20watt breaker to a 15w, I definitely  would have done that myself. Not sure why only after a bad review I'm
getting this breakdown, when I asked for it before.

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

Great experience. Showed up in a mask, had feet coverings. He was professional and easy to communicate with. He did not cheat you of any time and made sure he did a good job and everything was working well before leaving. Highly recommend!

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 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.

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.
