Established in 2001.
My grandPOP was a licensed Electrician in South Philadelphia for 40 years. As a kid, I would go on jobs with Pop and he taught me all this basics. As I got older, my parents moved to South Jersey. I worker for a local electrician for ten years before going to school and getting my own electrical license.

ABOUT BUSINESS OWNER


My customers are my number one priority.  I've been doing electrical work my entire life and still enjoy it every day.  This is truly what I was meant to do.  I love meeting new people every day.   A lot of what we do is correcting electrical hazards to prevent fires.  I like to say that we put out fires before they happen.  I have a wife and 3 kids and I realize the importance of making your home or business safe for your family or employees.  We truly take pride in our work, and I think that's something you don't see a lot of nowadays.   We are very grateful for every single job we do,  no matter how small.  :)

I highly recommend pops electric!! I had a hard time finding an electrician. Two different personal referrals canceled or didn't show on me! So I reached out to Bob who responded to my request on a Wednesday evening and was out to fix my power line on Friday morning, right on time.
Bob the owner was super friendly and respectful! He explained what the plan was before he started the work and wrapped up in under two hours (he had to install a junction box in my dining room to replace a power line going to my air conditioner). The work was clean, priced as quoted, and quick! Can't ask for more than that right??
I got him to quote me a much larger project before leaving and plan to use him as soon as I have funds :)
Thanks to pops for getting my house cool right in the nick of time!! :)

I like these guys - I used them to help me install an EV charger for my home - but it is painful trying to actually get the process started. I can't imagine how much money they are turning away. They offer free estimates but it takes LITERAL months to hear back from them, and you have to be the one following up with them. It took me about 3 months to get my estimate for the EV charger, and another two months for the permit process, so almost a total of 5 months to actually start the job.

I wanted to use them again, thinking it was a fluke, but I'm still waiting on a simple quote to replace 3 light fixtures in my home from September (I'm writing this in November) even after following up. I reached out to another electrician 3 days ago who just charges by the fixture and he's coming out in 3 days. That's how it *should* be. I doubt I'll hear back from POPS by the end of this year. They gotta figure out their estimate process -- from the reviews, it's their biggest downfall.

The one thing I do appreciate is that the pricing is relatively fair and the electricians themselves that came out for my EV charger, although like the [two] stooges (I had a lot of laughs overhearing them bicker), were very honest about the type of panel upgrade I will need in the future, and told me specifically that this one type of panel upgrade most people will try to talk me into that isn't actually what I needed based off of my service, and I could get away with the more affordable option. I really appreciated how much they cared and were looking out for me, and it's a bummer that the administrative stuff to get them on the job is SO hard that I can't use these guys in the future.

Reached out for quote. Asked me to email them a list of things I needed done, which I did promptly. Never heard back from them even though the work amounted to over $2k (based on another quote I received). It's fine if you don't want/need the work, but be professional and at least reply.

My electrician of 30 years retired and I was recommended POPS by one of my long time contractors. I called regarding a small job and was handled nicely by Charmaine who  answered the phone and was very nice. However, apparently the job was too small to even look at and the owner never bothered to talk to me. I had to go through the admin who keep replying the owner said  on every text and quickly mentioned the $200 minimum and tried to direct me to a new fixture.. when I said no I was  quoted company policy  line and they declined the job without the owner talking to me or even looking at the job..... No very personal

Although I'm pleased with the work that was done, I am much less impressed with the commitment of Pop's to follow up.
When Bob came out to service my backup generator, he did a very effective and thorough job of maintaining the system and providing me with extensive insight on the shortcomings of the installation which he hand-wrote on the invoice. He admitted that his handwriting wasn't the best and that he would email me a printed version.
The service date was 9/30/21. I have yet to receive that email. I called Bob and left a callback message. That call has not been returned.
Great work. Lousy customer service/follow-up.

Needed a electrician for some work in my home. Glad I called Pops! 3 man crew was in and out of my home relatively quick and explained the fix in detail.
Highly recommended.

I had a mysterious short circuit and they worked well after hours, on their own time, to insure I had holiday lights. Explained exactly what they were doing every step of the way. Will definitely use them again.

I called Pops electric because I needed to have some electrical work done i spoke to a person and they said they would get back to me, I never heard from them again  very unprofessional if they don't want to do the job thats fine but tell me and I'll find another company so for that I cannot recommend them

We had our kitchen destroyed due to water damage. The existing electric was 20+ years old and out of code. Pops came in and took care of everything from planning and advice to the most professional service I've ever had.  

Friendly, affordable, trustworthy, and meticulous.  They went out of their way to make us happy.

They replaced ALL the wiring in a 400 sq ft kitchen and powder room (including removing all the old wiring throughout the crawlspace), replaced the old breaker box, installed 11 recessed lights, 4 multi-switch plates, 13 outlets, plus sconces and a ventilated light/fan in the powder room in THREE DAYS.

The existing wiring buried in the walls was random, overloaded, and shoddy. We found several extreme hazards which were fixed.

They literally saved the house.

I sought a local, certified installer for a Generac Home Standby generator, and selected POPS Electric over two others.  I could not be more pleased with results.

From planning to clean-up, Bob Leyenaar and his Team (Bob, Kevin, Chris, Jim, and Bobby) provided excellent technical services, in prompt and courteous fashion.  We had a fluid exchange to agree on all project details, in compliance with BL's knowledge of the Generac and code requirements.  This project involved township permits, cement work, gas line plumbing, and extensive electrical work to get the generator and related devices installed and operational.  

I intend to use POPS for periodic generator maintenance, and for other upcoming household electrical projects.

We had extensive electrical work done at our home by Chris and Kevin from Pop's Electric.  These are awesome brothers who have worked together for 36 years and they know what they are doing!  They worked two very long days to complete the job.  They were helpful and friendly and cleaned everything up leaving our basement in better shape than they found it.  I highly recommend Pop's Electric!

We had recently moved to the area, yelpd this company, saw good reviews and tried it. The day of the appointment (we had to stay home from work for it and were told we were first) got a call saying since we were staying home anyway, they were pushing us to the last appointment of the day (which means our half day from work was now a full). They came, told us they fixed the problem and left. The problem was whenever it rained, it kicked off electric to our garage door opener, an outlet in the garage and two in the bathroom. He replaced things, charged us $400 and told us it was fixed but for a few thousand he could install new direct lines to each outlet (which is unnecessary for the amount of wattage each outlet needs) and he would provide a quote. We never got the quote. Next time it rained, it blew everything again. I called asking them about their policy because we never intended to pay $400 for a band-aid. She assured me that was not the case and they would make right by us. That was over a week ago... still no call. I do not advise this company because of the rudeness you recieve about making and getting an appointment and for the classic contractor response of (your last guy did this all wrong, let me fix it for thousands of dollars for you) approach. I know electric and this problem (tracing where the water comes in, blows the circuit and fixing it) was not done. They just replaced parts, not fixed the problem for a solution.
We will not be back... not like they called to make it right anyway...

I recently had a great experience with Chris from Pops Electric.  He fixed various receptacle problems around my home (open grounds, reverse polarity, dead outlet, non-working GFCI) and did a general safety check on my main breaker panel.  I really appreciated that when he found what was causing the issue on each receptacle, he showed me what was wrong with it and what he did to fix it.  He was very thorough when checking the breaker panel, tightened up a few neutrals and checked the voltage of the hots and neutrals on each bar to make sure everything was the same.  I also really liked that for every receptacle faceplate he removed, he aligned the screws vertically when he put them back on.

I called these guys after hours on a Friday. Bob came out and replaced a breaker at my rental unit. I was very happy with service, response time and willingness to come out at that hour. Thanks again guys!

Bob hung two light fixtures for me . He took the time to make sure I was happy with the  chain

POPS Electric is a great choice when you're looking for an electrician. They had the job of working with my garage's ancient wiring. Kevin and Chris were great and very considerate. They went over the job before beginning to verify the needs I had, and pulled it off flawlessly.

The only down side is that they came a little later than I expected. The initial appointment was set for 8 am and they arrived at about 8:30. This wouldn't be an issue if I didn't meet clients in my home. They arrived at the same time as my client which caused a couple of hiccups. But, overall, their work was beautifully done, and after their clean up it was like they were never even there. I will be relying on them in the future!

POPS Electric is the best!  Kevin and Chris were here twice this week.  They initially came out to fix a minor problem and immediately saw that there was a deeper issue and they worked around my schedule.  Their work was efficient, clean, and detailed.  They explained everything that they were doing which made me feel comfortable and I knew I was in good hands.  This is not the first time we have used this company and it will not be our last.  I wouldn't trust anybody else but POPS electric.  Even the girl in the office was pleasant!

I can't say enough about what a great experience I had with Bob from Pops Electric this past week.  As a new homeowner (moved in a few months ago), I was starting to find several electrical issues that I wanted addressed.  Bob took the time to go through each issue and thoroughly explain to me what he was doing.  This gave me a great sense of comfort.  

I knew there were some serious electrical issues in my house and Bob did a great job at resolving the immediate issues, identifying priority issues and being honest about issues that were not necessarily immediate or high priority issues.  He took the time to explain each issue thoroughly and was honest with me about all charges/costs before beginning any work.

I highly recommend Pops Electric for your electrical needs.

I got the phone number for Pop's last night for an elderly woman that I take care of. I chose them based on the good reviews that I read here on Yelp. When I arrived to work at 3PM, I was pleasantly surprised to see the dining room light working. She's very pleased with the prompt service she received and said they were so nice. You've definitely got two new customers in both of us. Thank you so much!!

Fantastic. Fixed the problem at hand for a reasonable price, and gave me an estimate on a few other jobs while they were here.

Bob and his crew are super friendly, helpful, and the work is reasonably priced.  He even helped me figure out an ancillary issue with our range hood, which wasn't what he came for, and isn't necessarily the work of an electrician.  In a prior job, he discovered some problems that could have burned the house down and he got them taken care of right away.

Pops electric did an amazing job, we are selling our home and had a long list of little things to be fixed and they didn't stop moving from the time they got there until they left.  Kevin and Chris were very polite and friendly.  Bob also was a great help with setting up the appointment and going over the to do list from the inspector.  I highly recommend pops electric for all your electrical issues.  If we need an electrician in the future we are calling Pops.

This is my second time using Pops.  Chris and Kevin were awesome, trying their best to explain everything to me and offer solutions to my problems.  They even called my cell Friday night to make sure everything was okay after their work was completed.  They are fair and reasonably priced as well and I certainly would not hesitate to call them anytime.

The person who I assumed to be the owner was very enthusiastic over the phone, very nice, and assured me he'd be out to give me an estimate for what I guessed was a $750-$1000 job. I took off from work and waited.... and waited... and waited.

He never showed.

Very disappointed in POPS.

Last year my smoke detectors had expired and had been chirping constantly. I called a few companies I had seen online. Pop's Electric was by far the most reasonable and the most accommodating. Your company installed  5 new smoke detectors in my home last year. An appointment was set up to fit me in the schedule on the same day. The person who set this up for me was extremely pleasant and understood the need to replace the detectors as quickly as possible. The gentlemen who came to install the new detectors were very knowledgeable; they explained why all five had to be replaced at once and they took the time to explain how to maintain the detectors. Almost exactly a year later, I thought one of my detectors was expiring. I called the office and once again, the person answering the phone was very pleasant and accommodating. She set an appointment for me after 4pm (I know the hours are normally 9-4). The gentleman came and stated immediately that the detector would be replaced free of charge because it must be defective if it's not working properly after one year. He listened to the downstairs detector (the one I thought was chirping) but said that wasn't the one. He walked upstairs and noticed the hanging light on the landing of my stairs was out. He asked if I had replacement bulbs and he got on his ladder and replaced the bulbs for me. He then continued up the remaining stairs to listen to the detectors upstairs. He determined that the sound was indeed from downstairs. In the end, the sound was coming from one of my carbon monoxide detectors (I completely forgot I had them). He replaced the battery and the noise ceased. Needless to say, I was quite embarrassed; however, the gentleman was simply happy the problem was resolved. I asked him how much I owed him for the service call and he said there was no charge. I was flabbergasted; rarely, if ever, are there any other companies that are so generous. I want to thank the entire company who worked so diligently to resolve my issue only to find out in the end that it was my carbon monoxide detector. I have told all my friends this story and will ALWAYS recommend Pop's Electric. Thank you!

I've used these guys three times, and have found them to be prompt, courteous, and professional each and every time.  Even when there were unexpected issues due to my old house and wiring and a very fussy township inspector, pop's was very quick to deal with the issue.  Pricing and quality of work was in line with what I would expect.  I would certainly use these guys again.

I've known Bob for years and finally got a chance to work with him and the crew for my kitchen remodel. Before everything started, he worked with me to draw everything out, and clarify details for the job. We even discussed different options to figure out a good combination of energy efficient lighting and visual impact for the room. Once the plans were together, he gave me a fixed price for the installation and materials, and stuck to it! Two separate days (rough in and final) were scheduled ahead of time, so as I got to each step in the process, I let Bob know in case we needed to adjust calendars. Rough In day was a great experience as the crew ran through all of the plans with me first thing in the morning, and they were careful to remind me to turn off computers and such before they got started. Final day was again great and when questions needed answers, they called and described so they could move forward. Final result: first rate work, on time, at the quoted price, and everyone who sees this kitchen loves the lighting.

I absolutely love this company.  My husband and I have used Pops numerous times the past couple of years.  Bob and the crew are honest, trustworthy, and do quality work at a reasonable price.  They don't cut corners and do top notch work.

WOW!!!!!!!!! My husband and I can't say enough just how wonderful Bob,Kevin,Chris and Pat in the office are to work with in everything from the first time we used Bob's service we have been totally satisfied with the work the team does in making even a small job to the large one we just completed very easy. Bob is very professional and you can tell he really enjoys his work. We recently had a whole house generator installed and Kevin and Chris did exceptional work with the electric hookup and the plumber also was the best and made sure everything was done to our satisfaction in fact we will be using his service in the future if needed. We have been with Pop's Electric and Bob the owner for a few years now and we have always been very happy. My husband and I are seniors and just knowing that we will never loose power or heat in our house with our new generator is worth any cost to have that peace of mind.
Bob is very competitive in price he also gives valuable information with any job he does before he starts. You can tell he enjoys his work, when he started up our new generator to give us a demonstration, he had a great big smile that looked like a kid with his new Christmas toy. He was so happy for us and knowing Bob as we do I could tell he really does care about his customers!!!!! Thanks Bob and all your team for making our lives a little bit easier.
                                                                   Truly yours,

                                                                   John and Debbie

Bob and his crew were very knowledgable and helpful in all aspects of the jobs they have done for us. They saw the projects through until we were satisfied. They even took extra time on minor details that could have been missed by us. These guys really do great work.  They made an otherwise confusing project fun and educational.
