Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

Found him through yelp. Owner came out to do a free look and sent me a typed estimate. One his employees came back on promised date and installed 2 ceiling fans and 2 light fixtures.  Owner sent me receipt and remained professional and polite even when i fussed at him about something that was not his or his tech's fault. (That alone would've earned him 5 stars!)
This is my first home and of all the people I've contacted for different repair/maintenance services he has been the most professional, least pushy and decently priced. I'm sure I'll use him again.

I've used Stahl Electric ever since I first moved to Philadelphia almost 20 years ago and they were recommended by Arch Street Lighting.  I've had them in my current house at least a half-dozen times for new outlets and light fixtures, as well as little things like fixing my doorbell and broken switches.  When Alex told me the last time he was here to install some new ceiling fixtures that I had knob and tube wiring that really should be replaced (something I'd always suspected due to the age of the house but didn't really want to know about), I decided I'd better just get it done instead of brooding about it.

Ira came to give me an estimate; he went over the whole house with me, explaining what would have to be done, counting all the fixtures, outlets, and switches so he could give me an accurate estimate (which ended up being exactly the price I paid, no unpleasant surprises at the end).  They were so busy that the rewiring had to be scheduled a couple of months later, but when the time came for the work they were able to put extra crews on the job and instead of the predicted week and a half it only took four days!

The guys who did the work were absolutely fantastic; they carefully covered everything with plastic (furniture, the clothes in my walk-in closet; I mean EVERYTHING) and dropcloths on the floors.  They made only very small holes in the walls, and not nearly as many as I expected, and patched them very nicely.  They cleaned up so thoroughly every day and moved my furniture back into place so perfectly that I could hardly tell they'd been there.

Matt was very good about explaining everything they were doing and letting me know when I had choices about things like the locations of switches and outlets.  And all the guys, several of whom I knew from earlier jobs in my house, like Louis and Alex, were friendly and courteous -- as Stahl's electricians have always been -- obviously mindful of the fact that they were invading my home and disrupting my life, and trying not to make it any more unpleasant than necessary.

I have to really mention Kelly in the office as well; she is always so helpful and friendly and efficient when I call that I couldn't ask for a better customer service experience.

I had been really dreading having to have the work done, but in the end it was not a bad experience at all and was over with so quickly that I was absolutely thrilled.  I will continue to use Stahl for all my electrical needs.  Thanks again, Ira, for running such a great company!

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 did a great job on doing the electric work to enable a garbage disposal to be installed. He also installed GFCI outets, an above the sink light and additional switch. He communicated the job effectively, worked hard throughout the project and was reasonably priced. He ensured that the area was clean when he left. I talked to him about another possible job in the future. He knows his business. Will use again. Highly recommend.

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.

The best electricians in South Jersey. Very professional and honest. They have done work at our old house. We now live out of State and they help with our electrical needs at rental properties. A top notch service that I can always count on! Thank you MP Electric.

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!

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!

Lou is an electrician that I trust and would highly recommend to anyone. He's  experienced and extremely knowledgeable and can handle any electrical job or project. Ive used him for over the years for a variety of work,  including replacing my old knob and tube outlets, replacing the original chandeliers in my dining room and installing an outlet for my dishwasher and 220 air  conditioner. He also replaced the knob and tube wiring and outdated outlets in my aunt's  house.  He's a true licensed electrician,  not a technician. Lou is as authentic as they come!

(4) ~ very good overall service to replace an old light fixture in our laundry room with a newer LED one.  NOTES: Scheduled it the next day, took about 30 minutes.  Invoice sent via Email, paid online by credit card.

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

Linde Electric is by far the best electrician I have ever encountered.  He delivers above and beyond what he promises... an all around great guy with excellent skills!  As good as it will ever get!

Steve Bright is a great handyman.  He is conscientious, clean, and precise.  We had him perform two main jobs for us - fix a poorly installed tub, and patch the damaged ceiling underneath that tub.  Our tub was installed in a way that water was seeping behind it onto the ceiling of the first floor.  Steve performed a few ingenious - and now invisible - cuts in the tile around the tub, so he could adjust its position and cancel the leak.  When we got home from our vacation, I had to look closely to be sure he'd even been there, the place was so clean afterwards.  No leaking since.  For the ceiling, he had to cut a big chunk out of the plaster, which created a lot of dust.  To contain the dust, he erected a plastic shield, floor to ceiling, that created a special little room he could work in.  He did a great job, and was kind enough to work around our WFH schedule.  Also, on both jobs, he gave clear cost estimates, and kept himself within budget.  I would not hesitate to hire Steve for the other jobs needed around our old house, and look forward to seeing him drive up in his mobile workshop again.
