Best Lighting Repair in Philadelphia PA

Searched phillyblog and found these guys, and they were highly ranked here and elsewhere. Called about an electric repair job (2 sockets and 1 light were out), they came next day, late in the afternoon before long 4th of July weekend, 3 guys swooped in, fixed the problem (faulty socket) and found another legit problem which they fixed too. Cleaned up afterwards, were pleasant, professional and quick. Reasonable too. They're my go-to electricians now!

I contacted Greg about my repairs, but,  unfortunately I am out of his service area. He did, however, respond to me with great advice and guidelines(which he didn't have to do) that I really needed. I followed them to the letter and can't thank Greg enough. With his help, I'm convinced I was able to find a very good electrician, whose not out to rob me.
Thanks Greg

Have a property that needed the entire Electric panel replaced due to corrosion.
I was in need of prompt service, they were able to come out same day to diagnose my issue and performed the needed service the next day.  

Great and easy to deal with. They explained all services that needed to be performed and answered any questions I had along the way.  I felt the pricing was competitive and I was very confident in using them.  

I will recommend to others and will use again when I need service performed.

Quick turn around between appointment call and actual visit. Service man was professional and neat.

Joe was fantastic; professional, knowledgeable, friendly and thorough! Competitively priced service with a smile. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I will be using JDV again in the future and recommending them to all of my friends. Thanks again Joe!

I was on the market for technicians who can upgrade my electrical panel and install a 220V outlet. I went with iTech Electric over Gen3 because they charged fairly. Their technicians, Edison and Tony, were also professional,  knowledgeable, and didn't use scare tactics to hard sell me their services. Trustworthy technicians who dish out quality, inexpensive work are scarce in Philly. I'm glad I found them.

Fast response and great service. My Yelp message was responded to within a day and my call was returned immediately. Good communication, on time, and great work. We're very pleased with the two pendant lights  we had installed. The price was significantly less than other companies. This is a nice young professional worthy of your business.

We will be hiring him again for another project soon.

Highly recommended.

I work as a Building Supervisor for a non-profit in Camden, so GE Eletrical's prices and rates are great Divija is professional, reliable, does great work,  and is great at communicating and being flexible. I will definitely be reaching out to him again for contract work.

I had an issue with one of my properties in port Richmond losing power in the kitchen and bathroom. We tried flipping the breakers off and on and that didn't work so needed a solution quick. I sent out a request on Yelp for electricians and Charles replied promptly. He offered emergency services to come out and troubleshoot at a reasonable rate (this was Friday night at 9pm) and mentioned if it could wait, it would be a lesser rate the next day. I decided on the next day and he offered me a generous time window. The next day he arrives half and hour early and texts me to give me a heads up and then he proceeds to work. In the end the voltage loss was due to wiring and he redid some of the wiring for a reasonable price. I was not at the property at the time but Charles gave me an option to view the invoice over email and make payment securely online. Overall I was thoroughly impressed with his response time and his ability to help me out when I was in a pickle without overcharging. Definitely will contact Charles again for future electric projects.

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.

Terrible terrible service. I waited 3 months for a quote. My project for totally derailed. I regret counting on Alex. Find a different electrician.  Can't get any worse.

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.

The Yelp community came through again! I used the message a project Yelp function to EP Electric for an outdoor electrical outlet problem. EP Electric responded within the time they said they would, and then called when scheduled two days later for a consultation.

I gave another description of the problem, and Andi informed me of the initial cost to come out and advised me of the Yelp coupon which I had known about. Anything above that cost would be discussed before the work would be done.

I made an appointment to have EP Electric come out, and Andi and his assistant showed up as scheduled. His communication beforehand to come to my house also was very good.

Fortunately for me, my problem was easy for Andi to resolve and the breaker only needed replacing. The whole thing was done in less than 30 minutes right before a super-drenching downpour. Good thing since it was an outdoor plug problem!

I'd highly recommend EP Electric. Very good communication and quick service. The right way to do business.

Married 2 Electric was easy to work with from start to finish. Rod (the owner) responded quickly to our inquiry, set up a time to come out, discussed some options with us and provided a quote within a few hours.

I want to specifically call out that the quote was significantly lower than other estimates we received for the same work.  Rod also responded promptly to my request to see the businesses license and insurance.

Josh and Scott came out (on time) to install 4 recessed lights (1st floor, no access) and a heavy duty ceiling fan box.  The work was completed in just one day, and the patchwork left behind will be very easy for us to repaint and cover up.  The guys the were doing the work were exceptionally considerate of our home and furniture and made sure we were happy with and aware of everything going on in our home.

Overall, I would highly recommend using Married 2 Electric, and we will definitely be bringing them back out to do some additional work in the next few months/years.

I had a situation where my garage refrigerator stopped working all of a sudden and various outlets including the one for my sump pump and basement refrigerator stopped functioning as well. Could not figure it out so I searched for an electrician with great Yelp reviews to make an appointment. The Yelp reviews for Joel with Aratech Electrical Services seemed to stand out from the rest. I called around 8pm on Thursday expecting voice mail, however Joel answered the phone. I described my problem and he took his time to carefully explain what probably occurred and what to do to resolve the issue.
I searched all over for any GFCI outlets to reset but could not find any.
Finally remembered that the sump pump GFCI outlet was covered with a multi outlet cover and was able to reset the GFCI outlet and everything was working immediately! He certainly could have made a service call and charged me for something that I was able to remedy following his directions.
Hats off to Joel and Aratech for honesty and truly caring about people!!
I highly recommend Joel and Aratech!!!

Let me first start off with I hate writing reviews!!!!!Was referred to Strickland Electric LLC by a friend after being referred to a company (I will write a review about those guyslater) that sent a BLIND electrician to my home (can't make this shit up)!

Mr. Strickland came to my home and accessed all the issues from the previous electrician, and other problems that needed to be addressed.  Very professional, courteous and punctual.  After receiving this information , I just knew I was going to be house poor in the poor house!  #NOPE fair, affordable pricing.  I hired Strickland Electric to complete the job, which was done impeccably.  I have since used Strickland twice after that and I have another appointment this week.  ANDDDDDD they cleaned up when the job was completed (unlike some companies..oh! that's right, he couldn't see the trash he left behind)

Strickland Electric are my new electricians.

Thanks to Mr. Strickland and his professional crew.

I called Alba because issue with my electricity at my house. There's not enough power and our refrigerator short every day.
It's was very easy to schedule with Alba, the team came on time & figure the problem. They fixed it right away for fair price.
Highly recommended for this guys.
Thank you.

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.
