Best Businesses in Philadelphia, PA

I woke up on a Sunday to find that half my house was without power.  After flipping the circuit breakers, there was no change.  I contacted GE Electrical and Edmond showed up within a few hours.  He got on a ladder and diagnosed that one of the two lines running from the PECO line to my house was damaged from normal wear and tear.  He returned at 8a Monday with a coworker.  They repaired the line within an hour.  The price was fair.  I would definitely hire Edmond and GE Electrical again!

I had surgery and bending is almost impossible. I needed to move 3 outlets to waist height to put them in reach. I  looked at several prices and Dunn Master was very fair. He is starting a new business, although he has lots of experience. He and his assistant were able to install 3 outlets immediately before the holidays. I thought one outlet was difficult to plug in, so I called them back, and they came the next day. There was no problem; I just was afraid to push.
They were not only  excellent electricians, they were very respectful. They showed me a license and insurance, wore covers on their shoes, and cleaned up plaster work, like they were never here. They fixed a stuck garbage disposal and put in a wedge to reposition my Ring doorbell; gratis. They gave me a three year warranty on the work.
I would hire them again in a minute.

PG came out to restore power to our doorbell. They replaced the transformer quickly and without issue. They were right on time, professional, and did good work at a good price. Also good communication

I'd call them....amazing. The tech was very professional, knew exactly what to do, and completed the job. The cost was quite reasonable, as well. Our tech, Hector, arrived exactly when we were told. The team at Thomas Edison were really nice and easy to talk with. So, yeah, amazing.

I hired them to install/replace lights for our landscaping and to brighten up the look of the house from the street.  We are very happy with the result and the service was excellent - timely, responsive, etc.  Would definitely use again.

I can't say enough good things about Thomas Edison Electric. They are a very timely, professional and great company. I called later in the evening frantic when I found out that I would be responsible for having an electrical pole fixed on my dollar. Tom was very kind and understanding, he was upfront about the cost of an emergency call and coming out the next day, which isn't something you usually hear from companies when there's an emergency. The techs came out on time the next day while also calling in advance which was a nice courtesy. They performed the tasks necessary to fix the pole and also helped my father in law with the generator. My father in law spoke very highly of them and was so impressed by their honesty and commitment. It's rare to find quality companies that are professional like Edison.

I was happy with the work done by EP Electric; they were very responsive in December when I needed 2 outdoor outlets replaced. They came within a day of the request sent to several electricians.  While at my house I asked for an estimate to have some switches changed to dimmers. The next time I needed an electrician was to change out some light fixtures. Again, EP Electric was pretty responsive and available in my timeframe. Since I had used them before, I was comfortable having them come out. When that job was complete, I again discussed the dimmers I wanted and we discussed when I wanted to get the work done.  We are working on a schedule for this week and I think it will really add to the ambiance of my house. Looking forward to it.

I had these guys out to my house for several jobs. They are always nice, competent and efficient. This last visit the man put in 3 hard wired smoke detectors, identified which breaker they were on, put in a light switch and provided and estimate in under an hour. He also went through and put dates on all the detectors so I'd know when to change them again. Just fabulous people and have already recommended them to others.

Our experience with Joel and Aratech was fantastic! Joel was prompt and was efficient with his time. Our kitchen now has recessed lighting and our dining room have the chandelier. We couldn't be happier. To top it all off, Joel made adjustments and worked with us to come under budget in the end!  We highly recommend Aratech to anyone in need of an electrician.

Strickland Electric installed my ceiling fan. I am very pleased. They gave me the white glove treatment from start to finish, protecting floors and furniture. They were prompt and efficient. Attention to detail is their specially. Also I loved how they explained things to me and even went over with me about my other electrical issues I have to address in my home. Yes, I would recommend them.

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!

Had a simple kitchen light fixture and light switch replacement job.  Alba answered my call right away, provided an estimate within an hour, and had the job done within three hours of my call.  Everyone was courteous and professional.  I'll be calling back for other issues in the future.

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.

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.

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.

I called this company on a hot summer day when my tenant called me and told me her power went off.  I was running around town with my two kids, so in a hurry I decided to call the first company I saw on yelp. I really wish I had taken more time to look for a more reputable company.

First, be aware that this company has multiple listings for different locations all over the city. If you look at their other listings, you will see the many poor reviews that they have received.

I received multiple phone calls from different people after my initial service request. They repeatedly told me that there is a $165 charge for emergency dispatch, and that once they do an inspection, they will let me know what the cost of the actual work will be. When the technician got to the house, a guy named Steven Miller called me and said he wanted me to pay the dispatch fee upfront before anything is done.  He then sent me an email to get my written authorization to charge the credit card. All of this seemed a bit odd to me... the multiple phone calls, the written authorization, the fee up front... but I didn't think too much of it and just proceeded.

About 10 minutes after I paid for the dispatch fee, Steve calls me back with his technician on the phone to tell me that they have to charge me another fee for the diagnostic. I told them that my understanding was after spending $165 they would be able to tell me what's wrong and give me an estimate on the cost of the work. He then proceeded to repeat everything that he and another one of his employees had already told me over the phone multiple times. I told him that I did not feel comfortable proceeding forward and that I was going to call around to see if other companies have similar practices. He then had his other employee (a woman with a courteous voice) call me to try to reason with me. I told her again that I was going to call around and if this is common practice, then that's fine, but if not then I will be leaving a long review for them.

I got off the phone with the woman and called another local electrician. This man was honest, prompt and straightforward. He came out within half hour and fixed the problem for me under 10 minutes and charged me a third of what Thomas Edison had quoted me for simply coming out and finding out what the problem is (not including any work done).

Needless to say, I will be sticking with my honest electrician from now on. Steve did call me again to tell me that he would not charge me the $165 as a courtesy to make me happy. I thought for a second about not leaving a bad review, but I decided that I cannot let this company get away with unethical practice. This company needs to know that people are not stupid and this kind of bait and switch business practice will only backfire. Simple honesty, trustworthiness and respect for people is the way to go.
