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 an issue with one of my properties in port Richmond losing power in the kitchen and bathroom. We tried flipping the breakers off and on and that didn't work so needed a solution quick. I sent out a request on Yelp for electricians and Charles replied promptly. He offered emergency services to come out and troubleshoot at a reasonable rate (this was Friday night at 9pm) and mentioned if it could wait, it would be a lesser rate the next day. I decided on the next day and he offered me a generous time window. The next day he arrives half and hour early and texts me to give me a heads up and then he proceeds to work. In the end the voltage loss was due to wiring and he redid some of the wiring for a reasonable price. I was not at the property at the time but Charles gave me an option to view the invoice over email and make payment securely online. Overall I was thoroughly impressed with his response time and his ability to help me out when I was in a pickle without overcharging. Definitely will contact Charles again for future electric projects.

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

Very educational and responsive. However, we weren't able to move forward with hiring them (maybe in the future) to due the 95 dispatch fee. I still would recommend them given how professional and respectful they are.

Had two electrician come out to find problem power out for garage door. They made matters worst.Called Princeton Electrical Makeover Ken Domenico & his partner found the problem right away. Explain the problem to me 89yr. old that i understood. They resolved the problem. If you need a professional job done right DO NOT CALL ANYONE ELSE!!!!  They know what they are doing to find the problem.
THANK YOU!

Tom and his trainee installed a ceiling fan in my 4th bedroom.  It is beautiful and they know what they are doing. The office staff are so friendly.  Quick easy service.  They never disappoint.

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.

Rodney and Ramon did an EXCELLENT job! Had them instal 4 recessed lights, dimmer switch, regular switch, and wires ran for a ceiling fan, switch, and instal a box.
I don't know how he did it without treating out drywall to run the wires, but he did.
Him and Ramon were very thorough, and clean.
I'm a very very picky person, and they exceeded my expectations!
They were also on time too!
Thank you again! I will not hesitate to use Married 2 Electric again, or to refer them to others!
Keep up the great work guys!!!

Everything you want in an electrician - skill, experience, reliability, attention to detail, reasonable prices. I've used Joel at least 4 times so far and will continue to do so until they outlaw electricity or electricians.

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!

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!

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!

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.
