Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

This was the third time that I have used this company. The first two times were positive experiences where the work was done well and priced fairly ($90 for a replacement of a light fixture ballast and $40 for an outlet replacement). Unfortunately, this week I had a garbage disposal switch break, and immediately thought of Generation 3. They came out quickly and replaced the switch in about 15 minutes. Then came the bill: $150. When we asked for a breakdown of the bill to get a better idea of why the charge was so large, the owner told us that it was an extra fee to cover the inconvenience of sending an employee to Center City. We won't be using them again.

Super responsive and helpful. Unfortunately was out of the area where Greg usually services but he still provided answers to questions and his expert opinion. Would highly recommend!!

I have used Larry at Lauterborn Electric and his crew several times over the past 5 years and they have always exceeded my expectations.  They've run for new recessed lighting and overhead fixtures for the whole house, mounted tricky antique light fixtures and added electrical outlets.  Always courteous, on time, reliable and well priced. A pleasure to work with!

2nd time I have used them.
They are super professional and reliable, a bit hard to get a short term appointment, but worth the wait.

We've had JDV come out twice - to rewire some switches, install a couple of lamps, and add outlets to the basement. Both times we had great experiences, and the prices were fair. We'd definitely call them again.

Follow up to last review: iTech Electricians came out to Mom's house this past Friday and did a stellar job with her electrical needs. New timer for her outdoor floodlights, as well as new dimmer switch for her kitchen lights, and replacement doorbell chime. Later on, we'll be buying new outdoor walkway lights for them to return and install and replace any underground wiring if necessary. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE GUYS!!! Sorry that they don't do NJ (but our NJ electricians are great too; they don't do PA). Win-win for us and Mom!

The company is actually called Electric Geeks, I believe. When I had a crazy electrical emergency, Maleik and his brother were the quickest to respond and the only ones I could find willing to come out within just a few hours. They wanted a substantial deposit via CashApp before they would agree to come out, and would not accept credit cards. I was quite skeptical but went through with it since we were desperate to get power back. They proved to be legit and worked hard to get us back on. They knew what they were doing and did a great job.

My only issues were 1) not taking credit cards, and 2) I had to run to Home Depot because they got the wrong part (and blamed the store worker). They did dock it from my bill. Otherwise, if you are ok with paying cash and want reliable and quick service, I highly recommend.

GE services services has done a number of jobs for me. They have always done a good job, come in on budget, have been flexible and been easy to work with. JQ

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.

Alex & his team are great.  They were very fair and reasonable to work with.  I highly recommended them to several friends who also thought they were great.  I've worked with many Central NJ electricians over the past 25 years.  This company is by far the best for any size project.

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 came out to install an outdoor light, and find the route of a problem with some old wiring. Both tasks completed successfully. He did a third while on location when asked. The company was very quick to respond to initial email and they set up a very quick appointment. Andi was very knowledgeable and extremely efficient. Couldn't ask for a better experience.

Rod and his team just finished upgrading my electric panel to a 200amp and some other electrical items I needed done around the house. I called Rod about coming out for an estimate and within a week the work was done. Everything took a day and the team was very communicative in terms of letting me know how things were going. The quality of the work was superb and I intend to hire them on all future work in regards to electrical. If you want electricians who are quick, responsive and honest, this is the way to go.

I had been saving up a bunch of work for Joel this year. Gave him the laundry list and scheduled a day for him and Jay to swing by. They had already done the kitchen reno, a bunch of smart lighting and controls, and camera installations for us last year.

This year it was ceiling fans, additional smart lighting controls, new lighting fixtures, and to troubleshoot a problematic camera.

Not only was the work done efficiently, but the new lighting fixtures look like they were always there. He also considered the camera troubleshooting warranty work although it turned out to be a manufacturer issue to their satisfaction. Above and beyond.

As long as Joel is in business, we'll continue to use him for our electrical needs.

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.
