Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

This guy must be paying for his reviews.
He came to my home....late. OK fine, people get busy.
I showed him 2 ceiling lights that were not working. He only removed one switch plate,  I had to give him a screwdriver, and put his volt meter up to the switch not to the terminals, then proceeds to tell me the the current is weak.  At this point he must think I'm an idiot, but I play along. We go down to the basement and he looks at the panel and says, he's going to have to bring a second guy so that they can find a break in the wire somewhere in the wall.  According to him it may take a couple of hours or it may take a full day.
I say thank you very much and escort him out.  The problem folks .......... A bad light switch, cost $3.00 from Home Depot.

I wrote a positive review for Stahl Electric almost 2 years ago and wanted to update it after last month's major rewiring project.

As a visual artist with a home studio, I've come to view my house as a functional art project, especially in the last decade.  Whenever a renovation required electrical work, I always contracted with Stahl Electric because of their professionalism, expertise and attention to detail.

I must admit that I was not looking forward to the rewiring project because my lovely (but old) stone house had a lot of old knob and tube wires throughout.  Such infrastructure work is not only unglamorous, it also often involves damage to walls, floors and ceilings in order to gain proper wiring access;  But Luis and the other electricians who worked with him, mainly Alex and David, totally put my mind at ease as they methodically worked from my third floor to the  basement.  It took about three weeks to complete, as predicted, but it could not have gone better.  Luis and the crew were always timely, pleasant and considerate of my home by preventing mess when possible and cleaning up after themselves when mess was unavoidable.  Minimal repair work was needed overall as they really worked hard to fish lines without making unnecessary holes.  And I'm so glad all the old wiring was removed from my third floor knee walls and basement. Luis made sure that every existing wire is now functional and safe.  

Luis always clearly answered my many questions on site.  I also appreciated his helpful suggestions for updating certain electrical features, especially with outside lighting.

So while I am relieved that this last major project is finished, I can also say that the electricians at Stahl Electric, once again, did an outstanding job. I will certainly call on them  for any future electrical work.

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 does great work.  Thorough, honest, good pricing.  3rd time using his services.  Highly recommend!

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.

Brian and Michael arrived as scheduled and were very professional and polite. They worked quickly and efficiently. I now have a dedicated outlet for my new over the range microwave.  If needed I would gladly use them again!

Pure Electric represents some of the best quality work and excellence in customer service that I've seen in the professional field of electricians.  We've used them for several projects at two of our houses over the past few years and are always extremely satisfied.

Each and every time we call, we get a call back within minutes if the phone isn't answered immediately, which is typically the case.  On short notice, they have come through to fix problems and enhance the beauty of both our homes.

Pure Electric installed recessed lighting in our kitchen earlier this year.  Not only was the attention to detail absolutely perfect, but the overall quality of the work was impeccable.  They represent  the best in customer service.  After the job was compete, they left the kitchen in perfect condition, ensuring that the area was cleaned before leaving.  

I've recommended Pure Electric to several co-workers, neighbors, and friends.  Everyone who was given them a chance has been very pleased with their work.  You won't be disappointed.

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!!

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!

We needed our circuit box replaced asap after a small electrical fire. Thomas Edison returned my call within ten minutes and had someone out within 2 hours. Vasyl was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. We would definitely recommend and would use again should the need arise.

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.

Fixed a door more easily than we both thought and just said give me $30 and we are good; the estimate was $350...
