Best Lighting Installation in Philadelphia PA

My experience is Generation 3 Electric was not a pleasant experience.  A year ago, I called for service and it was cancelled the day of.  I was unable to reschedule.  Despite that I decided to take another chance.  Well, the morning of, I again received a call that they were unable to come to complete the pre-scheduled work.   The problem was, if the wiring was not done that day, I would never be able to do the wiring (EVER).  So imagine my disappointment.   I called the office and my scheduled 4:00 p.m. appointment, turned in to a 5:00 pm appointment, which turned into a 7pm appointment which turned into a 9pm appointment.  I do appreciate the gentleman that came out, and despite him completeing the job, the experience has left me knowing I will not trust my jobs to Generation 3 Electric.

I contacted Greg and even though he doesn't service my area he took time out of his morning to listen to my problem and walk me through how he would investigate the problem and steps I could take to safeguard my home. He even offered to talk again if I had questions after speaking with another electrician. Even though I didn't have any work done, I'd highly recommend going with Greg, I only wish he serviced NJ!

Amazing, hard-working crew. Larry and his sons were very quick to respond to my request for installation of a few ceiling fans and lights. Many other local electricians wouldn't even call me back. They were professional, fast and extremely knowledgeable. No job is too big or small for these guys - they had stories of jobs on full warehouses, to helping repeat customers who lose power. They know the true meaning of honesty and customer satisfaction.

Highly recommended to anyone in the Philadelphia area. Thanks again, guys.

Jim and his crew have done quite a bit of work for us in the last year. They're always fairly priced, organized, on time, and very professional. We're going to continue to rely on Jim for more work. Thanks!!

I have several rental properties and have used a lot of electricians over the years. I don't have to look any further. Jdv Electric nailed it. What a good job Anthony did. I absolutely have no reason to call anyone else for my electrical work. You were the one thanks again jdv Larry

The first thing I did was to call HomeAdvisor, well that didn't work-out. So I googled the top 10 electricians in the Philadelphia area. iTech Electric had a great website with current reviews and good pictures of work projects. Talk to Tony on a  Tuesday, he gave a great estimate, came back Thursday on time and ( equip ) to work. Two hours later problem solve. Professional, clean, hardworking, and very nice people that answered all the questions I had. Five Stars don't begin to express my gratitude for a job well done. Thank you Tony, and also his hard working partner Skerdi.  #  Batman & Robin   Love you guys!!

very professional , honest service
no hidden surprises with pricing
very pleased and would use again and recommend

I received several quotes for a 240 V hook up for a new hot tub. GE electric was the best value. Edmond and two helpers showed up on time at 8:30 in the morning. They ran into an unforeseen obstacle with the slab which extended the job by half a day. The finished product is very professional and works perfectly. Edmond did not try to get more money for the added time nor did I hear any grumblings from any of them. They were a pleasure to work with and I will keep them in my contacts for future business. I highly recommend GE electric.

CJ and his team are thorough, hardworking, communicative and courteous. I needed to have my 100+ year-old home completely rewired from knob and tube electric. CJ met with me, explained the process, presented his credentials, and answered my questions. He was able to get the job done faster and less expensive than other quotes, without sacrificing quality. CJ and his team went above and beyond in multiple respects, were flexible to meeting requests during the process, and frequently communicated and proved their dedication to customer service and excellence in performance. Would definitely recommend using DunnMaster Electric for any electrical needs!

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.

I called them for an emergency service, and they promptly showed up and fixed the problem for a reasonable fee. I will definitely use their services again.

Service was fast and the electrician was knowledgeable and thorough in diagnosing and resolving several wiring issues in my older home.

Andi came out to install an outdoor light, and find the route of a problem with some old wiring. Both tasks completed successfully. He did a third while on location when asked. The company was very quick to respond to initial email and they set up a very quick appointment. Andi was very knowledgeable and extremely efficient. Couldn't ask for a better experience.

Our experience with Joel and Aratech was fantastic! Joel was prompt and was efficient with his time. Our kitchen now has recessed lighting and our dining room have the chandelier. We couldn't be happier. To top it all off, Joel made adjustments and worked with us to come under budget in the end!  We highly recommend Aratech to anyone in need of an electrician.

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.

Great experience! They were very professional and courteous. I was so pleased with the work I had done. I will certainly call them again.

I wanted to share my experience so that others are aware when looking for an electrician.

Alba Electric was recommended by my realtor. We needed knob and tube wiring fixed for a house that we were in the process of buying. In order for us to move forward with a settlement, the insurance agency needed to see a receipt from the electrical company showing that we had put down a deposit and had scheduled the electrician.

I did not want to put over 2,000 dollars in the mail in Philadelphia so I sent the check through certified mail so he could sign for it. He responded asking us why we were afraid to send a check through regular mail and refused to pick up the check at the post office. I even offered to drop off the check!

Since we really needed to have this receipt for our settlement next week, I went ahead and sent another check via regular mail. 5 business days later, he claims to not have received a check in the mail. We put a hold on both checks (60 dollars)!

What a headache and waste of money : /

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.
