Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

I recently purchased a washer and dryer that were set to be delivered to my new home on Saturday. On Wednesday I realized that I did not have an outlet to put the washer on. I called Strickland Electric and told him what my situation was. He came out that same day to give me an estimate. The price was $25 cheaper than another estimate I received and he agreed to do the work before the washer and dryer were set to arrive. He arrived within the time frame he set and started right to work. He cleaned up his work area when done. Last he showed me how to turn the socket on and off and explained instances where it would turn off on its own. He was very polite and professional. Strickland Electric is going to be my go-to electrician from now on.

We hired Stahl Electric to do a full rewire on our house to remove all of the old knob and tube wiring and upgrade to a 200 amp service. The job included adding a number of ceiling fans and light fixtures throughout the house, more electrical outlets, and a new doorbell. It was completed May-June 2017.

I can't say enough about the phenomenal job that Ira's team did for us!  The estimated time for the job to be completed was 4-6 weeks and they finished in exactly 4. Every morning, the guys (Lou and Alex) showed up right on time. I'm at home with a new baby at the moment so I was around a lot while they were working. They were extremely polite, friendly, and answered all of my questions knowledgeably. They did a full day's work, and always spent the last 30-40 mins of each day cleaning up, vacuuming any bits left on the floor, and moving furniture back to where they found it. You could barely tell they had been there after they left!

Another thing I really appreciated was that they knew we were very concerned with keeping the job as close to the original estimate as possible. So they always pointed out when unexpected things came up, and gave us options of how the issue could be handled.

Finally, now that the job is complete, we have a few, VERY SMALL places where we need to spackle and touch up paint but nowhere near what I assumed we might be left with after a huge job like this. It's almost like magic!  They replaced all of the old wiring in our house and you can barely see any evidence that they were here at all. And now our house is safer, more comfortable to live in, and our homeowners insurance is going down by more than 50% per year!

We'll absolutely use Stahl Electric for all of our electrical needs in the future and would 100% recommend them for any job, big or small.

I contacted Alba Electric for a service panel upgrade and some wiring and re-wiring for a kitchen remodel after a previous contractor did some questionable work. Ilir got right back to me and came for a look the next day and gave me an estimate shortly thereafter. They were on the job about a week later. No Fuss No Muss Very Professional!  What a relief to find them.
     I did do the repair work on the plaster myself so they were done quite fast in two days. I will definitely use them again for some further work coming up.

Chris answered and returned calls very promptly.  He came out to check out a problem with our electric box and we trusted his recommendation and replaced everything.  He kept us informed the whole way with timing and permits, etc.  He replaced our whole electric box and the feed line outside the house.  His work was very clean, timely and thorough.  I do design for a living and was happy to see how clean and organized his work was on the actual box.  He was very informative explaining some things we needed to know for the inspection and even called to remind us of when it would be.  I had pretty bad anxiety oer our electric box going bad, but, he was here the day before xmas even getting all of the work done and we now have a great peace of mind about our home  We will absolutely be calling him for more work.

Joe showed up in a mask and upgraded our circuit breaker professionally and quickly. I tried reaching several electricians before getting ahold of Thomas Edison Electric, and they were non-responsive. Once I found these guys, they responded right away and fixed our issue the following morning. I will definitely call them again next time I need an electrician.

Highly recommend!! I had to get lots of work done on my home per a home inspection report and the township's C.O. Michael came out at 7:30 in the morning and worked off of a checklist, completing everything before noon. Very friendly, very professional, very competent. Brian (the owner) ensured that everything was working before they left. The price was reasonable, and I will certainly use them again. Great job, McGoldrick and Paul!

Chris did a great job rewiring all the knob and tube stuff in the house. He went above and beyond--if he found an issue , such as the dodgy wiring with the bathroom light, he just fixed it. He also, without even me asking, tidied up the lighting for a bedroom closet--before there was cord that went from the closet, through the doorway along the floor, and then had to be plugged into a socket in the bedroom. It was such a pain I never used it. He tidied it all away and now there is a switch in the bedroom that turns on the light in the closet. I would certainly use him again for any electric work, big or small.

After another contractor disappeared when it was time for the job, I was so fortunate to have John return my call, and, with some open availability when I needed it!  He was professional, courteous, prompt, and with fair/pricing.  I can now look at the different electrical jobs in my home and feel good about 'having someone' to call for the work.  One of my favorite things about Positive Electric is that I did not have to have the work assessed first, then wait on the estimate, then reschedule my availability.  I agreed to the price on the spot, and he got to work- what a wonderful weekend it was to have power again in my dishwasher and kitchen!!  Thank you John!

My Generac generator failed to start after a power outage. I called several other electrician's and their prices were ridiculous, they want to gouge you. Worst offender was Murray Electric, total ripoff. Powell's came the next morning at 7:30 am in the freezing rain. Their generator guy Ed put up a large tent so he could work on it. This was not an easy repair. After diagnosing the problem he had fixed and running in two hours. No parts were needed so all I had to pay for was labor. He was honest, others would have gouged me with unneeded parts. This is a good company that is honest and treats the customer fairly.

If you have an older home with somewhat questionable wiring, I don't think you can do better than Anton Electric.  They are familiar with conditions found in older homes, and up to date on the latest products available to address past problems and increase efficiency.  I won't be hiring anyone else for work in my 90year old Philly row home - I've found my guys!

Old school south philly electrician. It's like having your dad do your electrical (as long as he's the fatherly type). He's punctual and friendly. He's competent. And he's affordable. I swear, if Lou had a website, Gen3 would be out of business. His estimates were half the price and he was incredibly polite and clean. He even managed to shift his work schedule around my infant's nap. By far my favorite electrician this far. And I've been through four or so thus far.

He works with his nephew and son. The y have a delightful bickering going on, worthy of a reality show. I really have no complaints and I plan to call him back for some other issues.

After meeting the team at Rapushi Electric, I knew that they were knowledgeable and would get my new kitchen lighting installed properly. And, I was not disappointed. They got the job done and even offered suggestions on how to improve the overall lighting brightness quality in the room. I had no hesitation in leaving them alone in my house. Even my dogs liked them!

Minus rating
Outside gfi needed replacement
Before they even come out they take your credit card number, assess a 95.00 service fee,call back / text multiple times to confirm service then even before someone arrives,steps foot on property to look at the problem state charge of 340.00.
Never seen anything like this. We cancelled service and had another company do it the old fashioned way. Come out, assess fix problem and charge for their services 100.00
Run from this outfit-extortion

I had a very unprofessional experience with Theo. First of all, it took weeks to schedule an appointment. I was very thorough in detailing the problem for him over email.

At the time of the appointment (on Saturday), he came to the house, spent 20 minutes, and then repeated the problem to me and told me he'd send me a proposal on Monday.

He sends me the proposal late Monday night, and it simply says i cannot give an estimate given the circumstances.

What? What circumstances? He couldn't have told me that on Saturday?

Now I've lost a month of time and still no solution to my problem.

VERY VERY unprofessional.

Quick and complete!-good job done. Steve was a pleasure to work with and fixed our issues right away
