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.

Great experience! They were very professional and courteous. I was so pleased with the work I had done. I will certainly call them again.

I wanted to share my experience so that others are aware when looking for an electrician.

Alba Electric was recommended by my realtor. We needed knob and tube wiring fixed for a house that we were in the process of buying. In order for us to move forward with a settlement, the insurance agency needed to see a receipt from the electrical company showing that we had put down a deposit and had scheduled the electrician.

I did not want to put over 2,000 dollars in the mail in Philadelphia so I sent the check through certified mail so he could sign for it. He responded asking us why we were afraid to send a check through regular mail and refused to pick up the check at the post office. I even offered to drop off the check!

Since we really needed to have this receipt for our settlement next week, I went ahead and sent another check via regular mail. 5 business days later, he claims to not have received a check in the mail. We put a hold on both checks (60 dollars)!

What a headache and waste of money : /

Chris is my go-to electrician.  I've used him about 5 or 6 times.  I live in a 50 year old house and I've slowly replaced a lot of outdoor and indoor lighting.  I use CWC all the time.  Always responsive, on time, fair prices, great work.  I Definitely recommend using CWC.

From the call answered to the technicians that came out, they were all polite and professional. This starts from
Amy, to Leo and Ortaku the actual workers that performed the task. I was truly satisfied. I highly recommend them.

Wonderful experience! Arrived ahead of schedule to install recess lighting in our living room and they replaced two light fixtures. They were super nice and left no mess behind! Would highly recommend them for any of your electrical needs

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.

John is a master electrician extraordinaire.  His personality is very colorful to say the least.  I bought my house two years ago, it needed a full remodeling.  Many contractors have come and gone since then and John is the only one I kept as a contact.  He shows up in a professional fully equipped van, gives you a fair estimate, handles all your issues, stands behind his work and does not disappear like others once he is paid.

We live down the street from Powell's and as soon as we moved in we have been using them.  I would never go with another company.  They are on time, reliable, trustworthy, and on top of that they have made my home safer than it was before.  And for that I am very grateful.  Their front desk person is always such a pleasant person to speak to.  Their workers are respectful and clean up after themselves.  Like what more could you ask for out of a company?!  I HIGHLY recommend this business!!

Having never hired a contractor to do any work in my home, I can't say enough great things about Anton Electric!

Everyone in my family is in some sort of skilled trade so we rarely have to hire contractors.  My cousin is an electrician but he's been unavoidably detained with a 4 year old and a new born, so I had to call in the pros to install our media center and wire in a ceiling fan where no electric existed before.

Jeff, from Anton Electric, was not only on time each day he came, but he was professional and did everything neatly and proper.  He installed all of our components in the basement and ran an infrared device through the walls and placed it discretely next to the TV (which I still can't find).  Now everything is out of site in the basement and all we have in our living room is the TV and speakers - it's amazing!  Everything is controlled through this infrared and changing channels and such sends a signal to our devices in the basement.  I'd highly recommend this if yo want to hide your devices.

Jeff also installed a ceiling fan in our living room and honestly, he had it up in under 20 minutes.

We shopped around with some other contractors and Anton was not only the most competitive, but they appeared to have had the best reputation.  We'll be calling them back when we redo our kitchen or have any other electrical needs! Thanks Anton!

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.

We had been experiencing flickering lights throughout the house.  Called Rapushi and Enton called right back.  We scheduled a visit the next day and traced the problem back to a burning circuit breaker panel, which was 40 years old and needed urgent replacement.

Very reasonable pricing, and they were able to replace the entire panel and meter within days (over the holidays).

High quality work and very respectful workers, taking care to use shoe covers always, clean up after and clearly communicate throughout the process.

Very happy and highly recommend!

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

Sometimes we don't know what is good and what is not unless we can compare.  Mr Linde is very personable and he will be the first to tell you that he is an award winning electrician.  An award from who? Theo did a lot of work in our condo in 2015.  It was only after we did use a master electrician, who constantly asked us Who did this work?  We were shown how the work should have been done and realized that Mr. Linde took the easiest quickest way out but his high prices do not reflect that.  We just had no idea.
Over and over we heard, Who did this work?  We are more knowable now.
It has been my experience that when someone praises his own work to the moon and back.......run.

I had a handful of small jobs that I needed done around my house. I found Steve Bright here on Yelp and am so grateful. Steve had a great balance of easy online portals through which to communicate as well as a very personal touch. He came out and realistically assessed what he could and couldn't do and then came out very quickly and got it all done. So happy to have found Steve and definitely recommend.
