Best Circuit Breaker Repair in Philadelphia PA

79 Dollars Just to Show Up

Title says it all.  Don't ever go with a contractor who won't do free estimates.

Greg was amazing.  Super professional and super courteous.  I had two burnt out outlets and I wanted to make sure there was no underlying issue with the electrical.  Greg was happy to explain to me anything that was going on and explain in detail what he was doing and what he was installing.  

Great overall experience.

We have used Jim & Sons a few times now, particularly because they were always among the most responsive electricians. Nothing worse than never having your calls picked up or emails answered. They were also great in an emergency situation where we needed someone out basically next day, and they squeezed us in. Prices seemed fair in general. We will continue to use them and would recommend

I called JDV for a second quote for a small job after the first electrician I called quoted me a ridiculous price. From start to finish everyone that I spoke with was extremely professional and translucent about pricing. They ended up being able to come and do the job the same day, for 1/5th the originally quoted price of the other electrician. They were thorough and even respectful enough to wear their own protective booties while inside to not ruin my wood floors.

They came the same day I called to give a free quote. They were incredibly patient, thorough explaining, and helpful making decisions. I had a long list of big and small jobs. The crew that did the work were AMAZING!!! They went the extra mile to do the BEST way instead of the easiest (I wouldn't of known the difference). They cleaned up after themselves and even changed several lightbulbs we couldn't reach. I would use them again and GIVE THEM THE HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!!!

Great service. Friendly service. They performed a thorough inspection prior to beginning the service. They also give you a quote at 3 price points. They do NOT pressure you to pick the most expensive option. After service was completed, everything that was done was overviewed including what was the issue. It is worth noting during the initial phone call they tried to walk us through troubleshooting at no additional cost. An Excellent Black Owned Business. We have found our electricians for the foreseeable 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.

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!

I can't say enough good things about Thomas Edison Electric. They are a very timely, professional and great company. I called later in the evening frantic when I found out that I would be responsible for having an electrical pole fixed on my dollar. Tom was very kind and understanding, he was upfront about the cost of an emergency call and coming out the next day, which isn't something you usually hear from companies when there's an emergency. The techs came out on time the next day while also calling in advance which was a nice courtesy. They performed the tasks necessary to fix the pole and also helped my father in law with the generator. My father in law spoke very highly of them and was so impressed by their honesty and commitment. It's rare to find quality companies that are professional like Edison.

Reached out to a handful of local companies for my outlet repair and EP gave me the best price. Andi was fantastic on the customer service end - knowledgable, accommodating, and polite. He was able to get me squared away with an appointment next day!

Ron was the tech that came out. He arrived on time (a little early which was great), was very kind, and kept me informed throughout the entire repair process. Great experience and his work was clean!

Will definitely be contacting them again for all future electrical work. Highly recommend EP Electric!!

Joel is very cool. Very professional. Reasonably priced and he knows what he's doing. I highly recommend.

Chris does great work! We just had 2 ceiling fans replaced, new recessed lighting installed, and a giant TV mounted. I had gotten quotes from a few electricians and others said they could mount the TV but would have to run an extension cord to it. Chris was able to install a new outlet behind it so it looks seamless. All the work was done perfectly. So glad to have found such a friendly and reliable electrician!

Brian and Michael arrived as scheduled and were very professional and polite. They worked quickly and efficiently. I now have a dedicated outlet for my new over the range microwave.  If needed I would gladly use them again!

We needed our circuit box replaced asap after a small electrical fire. Thomas Edison returned my call within ten minutes and had someone out within 2 hours. Vasyl was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. We would definitely recommend and would use again should the need arise.

I had a handful of small jobs that I needed done around my house. I found Steve Bright here on Yelp and am so grateful. Steve had a great balance of easy online portals through which to communicate as well as a very personal touch. He came out and realistically assessed what he could and couldn't do and then came out very quickly and got it all done. So happy to have found Steve and definitely recommend.

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.
