Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

My heat pumps weren't working so I contacted a large Lehigh Valley heating company to come out. They failed to show up - had to call their office & learned the guy was out sick (they never called to tell me) and then they agreed to send someone else out. Wasted my entire day waiting for them. They eventually showed up and said they made the repairs and left. Fast forward 3 months. It's now summer and I now I have no AC. This time I called Artisan. They came out within an hour, exactly as promised and quickly figured out the problem. Someone had apparently opened up the drain valve on my AC coolant! I later learned that this tactic is used by some unscrupulous companies - they open the valve during a visit so there's a slow leak - you then call months later with no AC and when they come back they tell you that you now need a whole need system. The previous company had likely opened up the valve (and no way for me to prove it). Artisan figured it out and instead of telling me I needed a new system they simply replaced the coolant. Impressed with the great service I called them again - this time for a leaking toilet. It was a Sunday and just as promised they showed up on time and made the repair at the price quoted. Great company that I would definitely hire again.

Great workmanship, very professional employees. They made sure the job was done correctly. I would highly recommend Advanced electric.

We were referred to Main Line Electrical from another contractor that was working on a complete renovation of our bar/restaurant, we had several complicated electrical issues and Travis handled them with great efficiency and professionalism.  We would highly recommend Travis and Main Line Electrical.

I would recommend him for electrical work. He did a good job with my 200amp service. Also fished some wires for me. He is on time and cleans up before leaving.

We have lived in the Radnor area for over 30 years.  Our home is over 100 years old and we seem always to need an electrician.  This company is hands down the best!!! Timely, organized, clean, professional!  And they use quality products and their work is very professional!  Easy to work with and very responsive!  The very best!

Mark is the absolute best!!! He has helped us out of many an electrical jam and saved us from probable fire !!  He mounted our TV, changed old switches and solved electrical mysteries in our home.  We have used him several times in both of our homes.  I wish I could give him 100 stars!!

There was an electrical fire in my home and Mr Waring came in to do the rewiring. He was very unprofessional. He never discussed with me what I needed to do as a tenant to secure my personal belongings while he would be working on the premises. He claims he consulted with property management but never with me when he first came to inspect the property while I was there. Needless to say, Mr Waring added fire inspector and a detective to his credentials by taking snapshots of my personal belongings and sending them to management and complaining that I had too much stuff. He also worked overtop of my belonging(clothes, sofas, beds, children toys etc)without using any drop cloths. There was dirt that had fallen from out of the inside of the ceiling(he had to cut it open to rewire), plaster, and dust all over our things and all over the carpeting throughout the entire unit. Another day I had come to pick up my mai, there was trash all on my porch where this unprofessional professional had sat, ate and left his mess. He left food containers inside my home on the steps where it had drawn gnats. He was just another business looking for a quick dollar. He had no respect for our belongings or for himself.

Responded quickly to my request. Offered a fixed price and same day service  even though I said my issue was not an emergency. Showed up when promised. Trouble shot and fixed a unique and strange wiring problem in my  100+ year old house. I expect it took a bit longer than he had expected, but honored the fixed price quoted. All around great service at a reasonable price given similar current trade rates (electricians, plumbers, etc.). I will definitely use F&A again for any future electrical service needs.

Five stars for fantastic and professional service !
It's become quite the norm over the years to always leave room for improvement, but I honestly could not do that in good conscience.   Troy and his son showed up on time, as promised, and did the work they were hired to do in less time than expected.  The entire work area was cleaned and left just as it was when they arrived.  I'm a happy dude and give Mainline electric 2 thumbs up.

My in laws have used McClelland for years so naturally when we bought a house and needed electrical work done we called McClelland. They did our recess light, and fixed a few dead outlets when we first moved in and did a great job. Super friendly and patient with my lack of knowledge. We recently had them install a transfer switch for our generator. They did a great job and again we super friendly.

An absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish.  They diagnose, explain what needs to be done and get it done in a timely manner.  I look forward to using them again when I need electrical work!

This man does good work and he is very reasonable.   That is first and foremost and should be said.   HOWEVER, he is all over the place.   His ever changing policies, his ridiculous rants on Facebook about customers who aren't satified (which he usually ends up deleting ), his constant patting himself on the back, the confusing and ever changing communication is enough to make you NOT want to like him on social media any more or use his services.    His FB business page is like a users online diary, it is all over the place. Just stick to your job.    Stop posting dumb stuff constantly and let your work speak for itself.   You are destroying your reputation with this nonsense and your all over the place rules that seem to change daily.   Chill.out. my dude.  You are legit starting to look like something is extra sus.

This review is being given by someone who has had Blake do work in my home, recommended to others both personally and in the community,  and also had Blake screw me over not following up when contacted for an emergency after initially speaking to him.   So I have had it all.

Left in the middle of a job and never came back. Not only did he not finish the work but he also left all of his trash

BEWARE!
They have this down to a science: $79 service fee to come out, deductible if they do the work. Once arrived they needed a $289 'investment' to 'evaluate and repair' so why the $79? Like a fool I signed for the $389. Next on the schedule is asking to see the circuit breaker panel, and what a surprise, it needed replacement at $11,000, three times the national average!!  Said no to that. Then on the the actual job I called about , fixing a 3 way switch in our hallway. After the 'evaluation' told me it was more difficult and would cost a good bit more to do. (Turned out to be $611) We told him we were not prepared for that and declined to have them do the job.  I expected to swallow the $79 service call charge but no,
'they evaluated' and we wouldn't 'let them' do the job so we owed the whole $389. Not prorated as to how much for the eval and how much for the repair. But being an understanding guy he 'gave me a break' and cut it down to merely $329. Then told us more about how we should really replace the circuit breaker panel. Finally they left, we were out $329 and nothing was done.
Check out Mark M's review, sound familiar?

I recently called this electrician to replace two outlets and hang a new kitchen light in my home. The electrician went down the basement into my circuit breaker box and proceeded to check each switch by flipping them back and forth while I stood at the top of the stairs and heard him. After two hours he completed the job.

The same day, about an hour later, I turned my thermostat on because it was getting chilly in the house. After about an hour or less I noticed it was getting colder in the house and I thought we were out of oil. So I went down the basement to check on the oil meter and I had a half a tank left.

At this point, I was confused so I called my oil company and a service guy came out the next day. He checked the oil meter and then asked where the circuit breaker box was located. He then noticed that the oil switch was turned OFF not on. So, obviously the electrician did not turn the oil switch button back on.    

I called the electrician company and told them about the issue and they said they would double check with the electrician who did the service and relay the message to the owner. I heard nothing for a couple weeks and then just received a bill today. This is the conclusion that they came to: THE ELECTRICIAN DOESN'T REMEMBER TURNING OFF MY OIL SWITCH.

So, I turned off my own heat and hot water for 24 hours?

Well, I guess I can officially give this place one star even though it deserves 0 stars. Called this place and ask them to come out for some electrical work. They said they would come out within the week.

A month later and 2 attempts to get them on the phone (both failed) they still are not here  and have yet to even responded... so I took my business elsewhere. $5,000 dollars in electrical work gone. Some people just dont like money or maybe they just dont know what they're doing over here. I guess Ill never know. Goodluck, McMenamins Electrical. The way you guys do business youre going to need it.
