Best Businesses in Philadelphia, PA

I was had such a dilemma: washing machine and dryer delivery was on its way and Moser Electric were very accommodating. The process was easy, the quote was reasonable and the work impeccable. I would definitely recommend this company.

I hired Fortech to install recessed lighting in my home. I would say I had an overall good / overall positive experience with some small opportunities for improvement.

Positives:
Tom was very responsive via text and email - he was one of the first electricians to respond and had one of the most competitive offers. He gave me specific Amazon links and directions about purchasing a switch which helped me feel confident in his skillset and also in the products I was purchasing. In addition, he helped me solve a mystery about some other lights in my house (turns out I just couldn't find the switch).

Room for improvement:
On the first day we arranged for the job, Tom was late to arrive and we had to reschedule because it passed the time when I could be home. However, he worked to make it right and showed up on time at the next arranged time. He also waived the switch fee to compensate me for the inconvenience, which I appreciated.

Other areas for improvement are that they could have cleaned up better after they left - there was still a lot of debris on the ground and I had to mop twice. And the switch was not completely flush with the wall (they did try to make it right and get it flush with the wall after I pointed it out but it's not perfect, I will have to have someone adjust it).

Would I recommend?
Yes, I would recommend Fortech. I was happy with their service and would hire them again for an electrical job at my primary home or rental properties.

Raul helped us renovate a commercial property and was very polite. The quote was fair and him and his team completed it in a timely manner. I am excited to work with them again in the future!

Joe Addis is the best! Very knowledgeable and a great electrician! He helped us take care of the items that we were asked to address as part of a home inspection. Definitely recommend using him for any of your electrical projects!

Pellegrino is honest and extremely competent.  I had called him out as a second opinion for an electrician who recommended 2,500 dollars of work. He came out to look at a switchbox that I was concerned about, took his time examining it, and with explaining what was and wasn't an issue and that I really didn't have a problem. 2 years later- no electrical issues whatsoever. He even turned down any money for his time. There's a few times where you are just surprised at someone's professionalism. I'm disappointed that I've taken this long to write him a review and will definitely go to him for any electrical work I have.

Great company to work with! I own a small home renovation business and have had Dave and his guys out numerous times. They are professional and very organized. I always appreciated their timeliness, being on the job when they said they will. Certainly a great contractor at a fair price!

I contacted Brian for two potential light fixture replacements and a couple of switch replacements for my parents home. From the beginning, his assistant, Chris, was wonderful to deal with. She was knowledgeable and polite, and helped diagnosis some potential issues so that I could be prepared before Brian even came out. On the day of the appointment, I was given a three hour window, and he texted 30 minutes beforehand to let me know when he would arrive. He was super professional, courteous, and very efficient. He quickly diagnosed the issues, and got the job done in thirty minutes. By the time he left, everything looked and worked beautifully. I was very pleased with the whole experience from start to finish. I can't recommend Brian enough, and I will definitely be using him again in the future.

These guys did a number of small jobs for me - installing a few new outlets, new light fixtures.  They were reasonable, quick, did good work and were easy to work with.  I have since hired them to do additional work. I will use them for all my electrical needs in the future. Highly recommended

HIGGINS ELECTRIC -- DREAM TEAM TURNED IT AROUND. Must read!

New to the Media area, just closed on a condo and 1 day later ...
ELECTRIC ISSUES!
With specific electric outage switch issues throughout the new (but dated) place (ie kitchen, dining room and bedrooms).
I thought I was being Punk'd - I haven't even unpacked!

BASED ON A REFERRAL
Called HIGGINS ELECTRIC - I spoke to Theresa (so nice and solution-oriented), who put me at ease and ultimately dispatched some of their best electricians, Krista and Bob!

Krista and Bob both came (after confirming every step of the way via text or call/ their arrival, next steps etc)... masked, helpful, kind, friendly- PROFESSIONAL -- straight to the point.  Like CSI-Where's this issue!? What did you experience, etc They both went to their detective work. Very thorough, asking questions and checking outlets and overhead wiring, panels, etc.

THE SOLVE/RESOLUTION
HIGGINS ELECTRIC TEAM soon identified a a random switch outlet in the condo that was rigged to control all those rooms (who knew?)
HIGGINS ELECTRIC TEAM soon updated my outdated electric wiring: replacing my kitchen ballast and switch; swapped out my dining room fixture; and updated the master bed room light/ceiling fan with LED/remote control fixture!

THE SWEET SPOT
From being so very upset, frustrated and despondent about the electricity in my 1st new place, I was immediately transformed  to a place of THANKS AND APPRECIATION above and beyond! and loving the fabulous and functional updates!

HIGGINS ELECTRIC TEAM ROCKS! I recently learned this is a family owned business operating in The area over 75 years - and still going strong! you will see why... They deliver! they are knowledgeable! they are Professional and fair!

Steve has done a number of projects at my house: from electrical repairs, recessed lighting installation, and the installation of a backup generator for when the power goes out.  Electrical Solutions is one of the best contractors I've ever worked with.  They always return my calls and they do what they say they are going to do.  The work is top-notch and the prices are very reasonable.

we used jdog for many smaller jobs at our home in paoli. buck and everyone was very accommodating.

Contracted eagle to do a job at my home. Confirmed appointment a few days before.

No one showed up and they wouldn't respond to calls or texts. I could see from the iMessage that they read my texts (it displays time that they read the message) and never responded.

Absolutely did not value my time and left me looking for another contractor. Obviously I can't recommend eagle.

We received fantastic work with flawless installation of a separately bought outdoor fixture of our choice from the local hardware center.

Perfect job - A+ ! !   Widow, in 70s, I bought my first house, knowing very little.   Joshua Sell, who bought and flipped the house, did not use licensed electrician or plumber.   Countless hazardous wiring  problems in three renovated basement areas became apparent when a leak forced opening of walls.   Michael Stapleford identified issues needing redoing, explained everything so even I could understand, and quoted a fair price - a little less than a different, rather unpleasant, local electrician quoted.  Michael's son Elliot - second generation electrician - arrived promptly with an apprentice, fixed everything with as little mess as possible, cleaned up even better than I clean, and explained  carefully everything he had done.    Remarkable, amazing sense of professional courtesy and commitment.   This is my forever electrician!

We called Thomas Edison at 7:31 p.m. on a Saturday night and by 7:40 p.m. the dispatcher had someone call us back to let us know our time frame of between 8-10 p.m. At 8:20 Vasyl arrived. Mind blown. The customer service up until this point was already super amazing, but when Vasyl got here he somehow magically made our electric work without even touching anything. Swearing to him were either haunted or something had to be wrong, he helped us work out an issue with one of the outlets in our spare room that had blown the power to our upstairs. A quick replacement to the outlet and no more ghosts. But in all seriousness, their customer service is so on point. Vasyl could not have been any nicer. He even made sure the outlet color he had on him was going to be okay for us in that room. Absolutely fantastic and highly recommended by our family. Give these guys a call. You won't be disappointed.

Zero stars should be a choice.
This experience was the most disgusting interaction with a business that I have ever had.  
They requested that I authorize a nearly $700 charge to evaluate the problem (no repair, labor, or parts included.)  And, this was in addition to nearly $300 just to to show up.  When I balked and suggested that they evaluate for the most simple, obvious solution first, and then only go deeper if proven necessary, suddenly the evaluation charge dropped to less than $200. Interestingly, the $200 evaluation revealed the problem in full.  This exact same story repeated itself when it came to the repair recommendation.  I called out their unethical and dishonest practices twice, but only because I had real-time advice from another electrician during these exchanges.  They attempted to take advantage of me and profoundly overcharge me.  To be clear, they attempted to charge me nearly $2000 for a $50 breaker replacement.  Beware.
