Best A/C Repair in Philadelphia PA

Summary: expect to be surprised with extra charges.  Inspect invoices carefully.  Proceed at your own risk.

The good:
- speedy online correspondence, usually timely (unless there is a problem)
- quick first visit for quote
- showed up on time for the work
- house hasn't burned down yet

The not so good:
- changed quote in the middle of the job ($700 extra).  Said the wiring was older than expected and the job was more complicated.  Given that the building is 120 years old, a professional who has worked in such buildings before should have foreseen this possibility of old wiring being an issue and be honest about it in the original quote.  Ultimately I believe I was overcharged but I had no option since we were in the middle of the project and I just needed to get it done.

- first technician who showed up for job said I wasn't supposed to work on this job, so I'm not familiar with the details.  Then he kept saying that's not my problem for every single thing that came up.  Sure, an electrician is not expected to do carpenter's work, but a technician with such an attitude is bad news for a project.

- The second crew that came had to work unattended as I had to go to work.  Coming back I found the electrical panel only partially installed (the first person had removed and lost two of the screws), damage on the kitchen tile and grout, possibly from dropping a heavy tool, and my Dyson vacuum used to clean up construction dust.  

- the final result was just acceptable.  The undercabinet lights are flickering, and the patches from the cuts in the wall required considerable patching and sanding.  I thought this is normal, until I saw the work from the next electrician I hired, which was immaculate and ready to paint. The new circuits were not labeled on the panel.  One switch cover had to be cut to fit the area and the cut is crooked.

- upon completion of the work, I kept getting inaccurate invoices that included work that had not been performed.  After about 1 month of back and forth with revised and revised-revised invoices, I just paid whatever I was told because I was tired and wanted to get it over with, fully knowing that I was still being overcharged.

I will be staying away from these friendly NEIGHBORHOOD Home Experts.

Greg is just awesome. I sent a yelp question requesting a quote and he replied that though he doesn't operate in my borough, he was kind enough to provide me a lot of details about what could be going on with my electric panel. He also suggested sending him pictures of the panel so he could provide more guidance. He also provided rough estimates of what it would cost to add a panel or replace the panel. This is so refreshing in this day and age, when no one wants to provide any support unless there is a payback. Greg is part of a rare and almost extinct breed and I am sure his on-site service will be top notch if his remote deductive skills are so good!!!

I highly recommend Lauterborn Electric.  I recently had Larry and Ryan at my house to work on a long list of electric projects and they did an amazing job.  I bought a chandelier to be installed and it came with over 100 pieces.  I was so impressed at how easily they were able to install and put together the chandelier.  They did a great job and they are reasonably priced and very professional.

Installed nema 14-50 outlet for my EV charging. Done in 10 min. Very courteous and professional. Jim the owner is pleasure to do business with anytime.

I was having issues in my house where appliances were turning off during operation and lights were flickering.

A google search indicated that this could be a fire hazard.  I called my usual electrician and waited.  After several hours of waiting and never hearing anything back I called four other electricians and didn't hear a single thing from any of them either.

I reached out to my plumber and asked for a recommendation -- he recommended JDV and they called me within a few minutes of me reaching out.  The woman on the phone was extremely polite and helpful and let me know someone could come out that same day.  She even called me prior to their arrival so I would have an idea when they would be here.

Joe was on-site and diagnosed the issue.  He was able to diagnose my problem quickly and was able to do the repairs the same week (permits were required so he had to come back).

Overall I am extremely happy with JDV -- I already recommended them to family members and will be using them for more work within the next few months.  You can't go wrong with JDV!

I found out my electric panel was wet - yes, I basically had a waterlogged cable slow dripping for two years - in my rehabbed home. I got quoted from several places but went with itech for their quick response and rapid scheduling. They were accessible for questions pre and post job completion, and provided the quote for my insurance as I needed.

They most definitely completed the job in 5-star style. They respected my space while they were working in my home and that means a lot to me. They were very accommodating of my limited schedule and explained quotes and the work they planned to do very clearly. They were punctual and polite, too. I highly recommend these guys for your needs.

The company is actually called Electric Geeks, I believe. When I had a crazy electrical emergency, Maleik and his brother were the quickest to respond and the only ones I could find willing to come out within just a few hours. They wanted a substantial deposit via CashApp before they would agree to come out, and would not accept credit cards. I was quite skeptical but went through with it since we were desperate to get power back. They proved to be legit and worked hard to get us back on. They knew what they were doing and did a great job.

My only issues were 1) not taking credit cards, and 2) I had to run to Home Depot because they got the wrong part (and blamed the store worker). They did dock it from my bill. Otherwise, if you are ok with paying cash and want reliable and quick service, I highly recommend.

I contacted GE Electrical Services after a bad electrician wired my house completely wrong. Edmond gave me a fair price to correct all the issue. His team does not cut corners and they make sure everything was up to code. Communication was good. I will be calling them for all my future projects.

Excellent Craftsmanship, superb attention to detail and arrived earlier than expected.  Great Company!
I'll be referring to all in need of a excellent electrician.  Thanks Again Mr. Dunn job well done!

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

Great experience. Showed up in a mask, had feet coverings. He was professional and easy to communicate with. He did not cheat you of any time and made sure he did a good job and everything was working well before leaving. Highly recommend!

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 recommend Married 2 Electric. I called on a Monday for a baseboard heater malfunction issue, and the technician was out the next day. Professional, safe, courteous and reasonably priced.

This company does excellent work. They are reliable, have reasonable prices, and great to deal with. If you are looking for an electrician, this is the company to contact.

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.

Ilir was excellent to work with. He is thorough and communicative. He replaced and relocated our electric panel, extended our Comcast line so it could reach the TV, installed a new light fixture, and did a number of other smaller projects for us. The work seems top notch and I would highly recommend him for any electrical needs.

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.

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.
