Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

This is literally my first yelp review ever. I called Gen 3 because I needed the proper 240v outlet for a new washing machine. Jon Pucci came out yesterday- he was so friendly and quickly wrote up an estimate. Ultimately we had to schedule another appointment for today because he didn't have a the proper part with him for the job. Dan Guiliani and Ian (apprentice) came the today to do the installation. They were also super friendly, fast working and thorough.

I felt the need to write this review because I find it so hard to find good, reliable workers in the city and Gen 3 made everything so easy for me it honestly gives me hope.  haha!  Also, as a bonus, their estimate was $210 less than the estimate from JDV Electric.

I highly recommend !

Greg installed a long run of 220V in my rental property. He explained everything he was going to do and was clear about options, timing, and costs. He even gave me some much appreciated construction suggestions for my sagging cross-beams. The execution was top-notch - clean work, everything strapped down. He is obviously a pro at this. I hope he will come back to do more work on this house when I am ready for it!

Larry and his crew were great! I had a chandelier installed, including ceiling junction box, lines run and new switch. They came on time, worked incredibly clean and fast. I could not be more impressed with the final product. I highly recommend you give them a call for large or small jobs. I certainly will use them again for future work.

Very good service. Reasonable quotes. We had our electric fixtures changed and they did a great job. We also hired them for wiring our audio system in the living room and they did nice work. We trust them to be good and not overcharge. I hope they stay this way. It's very hard to find businesses that don't try to overcharge these days. Thanks Jim and sons!

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.

I needed to get some non-GFCI outlets replaced with GFCI outlets and iTech scheduled an appointment for the next day. The electrician arrived as scheduled, explained my options well, and did a nice job. Highly recommended.

Maliek was great, prompt and efficient. Thank you!!! For one thing, Frank -- an actual person -- answered the phone. That's a plus. Maliek came when. Promised, masked (thank you) and was respectful of our home with covers over his shoes, cleaning up along the way and always communicating where he was in the process. He gave us 3 options to choose from and was patient while we weighed the pros and cons. I would use this company 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!!!

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

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 good service! Alex tried to help me diagnose my issue over the phone before even coming out to the property (to try to save me money). When it was apparent that the issue was above my pay grade, a technician came out and quickly fixed the problem, for a reasonable price. Would recommend

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.

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.

The only electricians I will use. Incredibly friendly team, always timely and reliable service.

Joel is very professional, fairly priced and gets the job done very efficiently. He is my go to electrician that is very knowledgeable and honest. I highly recommend his services from smallest to largest possible job. He will get it done for you!

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.
