Best Electricians in Philadelphia, PA

Let me first start off with I hate writing reviews!!!!!Was referred to Strickland Electric LLC by a friend after being referred to a company (I will write a review about those guyslater) that sent a BLIND electrician to my home (can't make this shit up)!

Mr. Strickland came to my home and accessed all the issues from the previous electrician, and other problems that needed to be addressed.  Very professional, courteous and punctual.  After receiving this information , I just knew I was going to be house poor in the poor house!  #NOPE fair, affordable pricing.  I hired Strickland Electric to complete the job, which was done impeccably.  I have since used Strickland twice after that and I have another appointment this week.  ANDDDDDD they cleaned up when the job was completed (unlike some companies..oh! that's right, he couldn't see the trash he left behind)

Strickland Electric are my new electricians.

Thanks to Mr. Strickland and his professional crew.

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!

First thing first... he answers the phone.  Even more amazing, he tried to talk me through it before we decided I was in over my head.  Made time on a Sunday to come and see what was wrong.  Methodical in his trouble shooting and was able to isolate the problem to an exposed junction box (unlike the last electrician who said he'd have to tear out sheetrock and wanted $2000 to do the job).  Quickly fixed it.

Then, to top it all off, answered a question I had about installing the rest of my smart switches on a Sunday evening.

Good guys, fair pricing and great work ethic.

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.

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.

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.

Contacted Positive Electric and Power recently when I realized my small electrical repair was more than I could handle.  John was quick to come out, access the issue, and offer a recommended repair.  The whole job was done in a fraction of the time it would have taken me and John left the area in perfect condition.  Would highly recommend!

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.

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!

No call, no show when an appointment was scheduled. It took almost 3 days and 2 voicemails before my follow up to inquire about the missed appointment was even acknowledged. I can't comment on the actual quality of work because I went with another electrician. But since the responsiveness was so poor, I do not recommend

Had Enton over a number of times. Very knowledgeable. Service is good as well as the price. Highly recommended.

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

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 really cannot review him since he was unavailable during the time frame I needed the work done. However, he did respond and at least let me know that.
