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 and his sons are excellent people to work with.  Trustworthy, fair, high quality and fast.  We will work with them again for sure.

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.

Austin Electric installed lighting in a large barn of ours so that it could be used as an event space. Everyone, from Jon the estimator, to the installers were very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. The price was reasonable, the work was done on time and the end result exceeded our expectations. We will use Austin again and highly recommend them to anyone!

Brian's done 2 jobs for me:  First was rewiring my flood lights and the switch they were connected to was removed (at my request, not knowing the switch controlled the flood lights) by a different electrician, and install a wireless switch by the rear door.  Not only did he rewire and install the switch, but he gave me a dimmer switch instead of just a regular switch.  He also asked about adjusting the direction of the floodlights, which he did as I told him where I'd like them to point.

Second time was relocating some switches within a box and rewiring a light to be a 3 way.  I told him how I wanted them to be set up, as I could not move them myself due to short wires.  When he was finished, everything was just as I had requested.  He even fixed a mistake I made which caused my other 3 ways not to work properly.

Both times, his estimates were right on the money.   You won't be disappointed with him.

My husband & I can't say enough good things about the service we received from Hasa Electric LLC. Al & Sal Hasa are master electricians that really know their stuff & came to our rescue after another company screwed up our basement wiring. They're skilled, knowledgeable, punctual, trustworthy & rates are really reasonable. We liked the electrical work in the basement so much we asked them to return & replace sockets in the kitchen, do a safety check for all the rest of the outlets in the house & replace an outdoor light fixture. In addition, they also installed 4 closet lights & will be back to help us complete the basement project. Definitely recommend Al & Sal Hasa to anyone needing reliable, skilled & honest electricians. These guys are the real deal...trust me. Vicki, Phila.

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.

The tech was professional,on time ,helpful,detail oriented...
My 4th Time using this company...They Rock!
All my needs...
If your just getting a new house together...they're the one

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!

I called the company on 6/8/16 regarding a service cable that had been torn down from the house. The technician was rude to say the least. He was not helpful or considerate of my situation. I had half a house working and he wanted to schedule an appointment. I only called due to an emergency (only 1/2 of the house working) He was rude and not helpful at all. .

Would give no stars if I could.

Asked us to prepay $1,000 for a simple problem. I can't believe how badly these people take advantage. It's so unethical. Rude, unfriendly, and bad business practices. Edited to add that they just called me back from a blocked number being super shady and rude immediately after i posed this review ! The guy refused to tell me his name but still wanted to come out. What? Stay away from this company.
