Best Businesses in Philadelphia, PA

Whoever initially wired the house we bought wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, so they installed an outlet meant for a range in the laundry room. I needed to have that outlet swapped out for the right type.

I found GE on yelp, they offered a great rate, and off we went. They were extremely punctual and respectful of the house (they brought shoe covers!) and replaced it quickly. They even pointed out some other issues with the wiring, which I may have them take care of in the future.

I didn't have the right outlet or cord for the dryer--they had an outlet in their truck and put it in! They also came back a couple hours later once I had the right dryer cord, to finish the job.

I can't recommend them enough. Super efficient, professional, and a great job. I'll definitely be using them again in the future.

They were super responsive and timely. They explained everything including sending me a solution to an additional project I was considering in the future. Everything was done well.

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.

Excellent service from initial quote, to work completion. PEM is a trustworthy, efficient, and friendly local company to have work performed. From initial quote, the team has been extremely communicative and even offered to perform work earlier than scheduled based off electrician availability. The entire process was super easy. Thank You!

Thomas Edison Electric came out on a Saturday and replaced two light switches in my house. The gentleman was right on time, very pleasant and professional.  These light switches are in my kitchen and very important.  I have nothing but good things to say.

Andi and his partner Nick did a fantastic job with my house! I wanted recessed lighting done and he was very honest with getting me a quote about what he can/can't do.

They are perfectionists and want to stay to complete the job 100%.

Very professional coming on time/ earlier. Prices are fair and you definitely pay for quality. These guys do a smooth, clean job and also clean up after themselves when they're done.

I'm very pleased with the service I got and will definitely use them again one day when I redo my bathroom lights!

I highly highly recommend Rod. He is very responsive, comes when he says he will, explains the work that needs to be done, and his fees are very fair. I will use him again in a heartbeat.

We had just sold our house and the home inspection had several items to be attended to electrically.  Joel from Aratech came out very quickly and gave us an estimate he stuck too.  He was professional and friendly, but the best was his work and turn around time and fair pricing.  We will hire him without question in the future!  Thanks Aratech!

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.

fabulous transaction from first call to completion.  appointment made with ease, serviceman prompt and knowledgable and price fair and honest for work completed.  will be my new electrician for years to come

Had some issues at my house with the electric outlets. Some of them were not getting any power and some were. Luckily I saw the truck for Alba and gave them a call. Ilir answered the called and quickly provided and appointment time and date.

He was present at my house on the given time, explained to me the issues that caused this went over all the issues and provided solutions. Took care of the issue and with in an hour all was back to normal.
About to setup another appointment for installation of outlets in the basement.

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.
