Best Lighting Repair in Philadelphia PA

Gen 3 has been our go-to electrical company for years now.  Their work and customer service is by far the most dependable home services year after year.  Not only has work at our house been extraordinary, but work as conducted at four family member homes has been outstanding, safe, and complete time and agin.  Can not recommend the extended team enough!

We've hired Greg multiple times to do electrical work around our house -- light fixtures, ceiling fans, recessed lighting, new outlets, an exhaust fan, you name it!

He's done an excellent job with everything, has good pricing, and is very professional.  He was a pleasure to work with compared to many other contractors, and I'd highly recommend him.  I'm sure we'll be hiring him again in the future.

Larry is a straight shooter, and a nice guy on top of that.  He and his son do a great job, and have done a lot of work on our farm in poor weather conditions without complaint, and has swooped in to save the day in emergency situations.  Highly recommended.

I sold my house to an FHA buyer and as expected, the inspector flagged a few things with the electrical system in our house.  Of course, the buyer asked for the entire house to be rewired, but we were not willing to spend the $4000+ to do that, so we countered and told them we would address only the items the inspector actually flagged, which were: correct reverse polarity in 2 outlets; install dedicated line from panel to 2 kitchen counter outlets and properly ground the GFIs; install a dedicated line to the bathroom and install GFI; install a dedicated line to the laundry room and install a GFI; and install a ground wire from the panel to the water meter.  Jim came out and gave us a very reasonable estimate to do all this work and once we made the decision to go with him, we scheduled the work to be completed a couple weeks later.  Two gentlemen came out to do the work and they were very nice, polite, and respectful.  I am always worried about being disrespected or taken advantage of as a woman in these situations, but they were both great.  When their work was finished, I asked them if I could use their outlet tester to take pictures of the grounded outlets and the corrected outlets to send to my realtor - she would be sending these on to the buyer's agent to show that the work had been completed.  During this last round, we discovered that one of the kitchen outlets did not have the same test result as the other, which led me to believe it might not be properly grounded.  I won't pretend to understand electrical work or terminology, but he tried to explain it to me - why it was fine the way it was, and would pass inspection - but I told him it would just make me feel better if the tester lit up the same way on this second kitchen outlet as it did on the first.  And he happily complied.  Without an attitude or irritation or anything.  So thank you so much for that!  It only took him an extra 10-15 minutes and at that point I was 100% satisfied with the work!  All said and done, this came out to less than $900, and I'm very pleased with the experience.  Jim was great to work with and so were his two men!

Cannot say enough great things about Joe & JDV Electric!

I bought a 1300 square foot home that was basically a complete remodel. I needed all the old knob and tube wiring removed and the whole house rewired. Joe walked me through the entire process and did all of the rough wiring in less than a week. That was with added obstacles such as 2 other contractors in the way. Joe then allowed me the time I needed to get the other contractors up to speed (putting up drywall and Spackle). He came back in after that was done to finish the job as soon as I asked him to. He put in the best recessed lights, dimmers, ceiling fans for me as well as some custom lights that I had ordered from Wayfair.

I did not have to deal with the inspections group of Philadelphia at all. Joe organized everything and passed with flying colors. Joe's attention to detail and professionalism surpass anyone I have ever worked with. He continued to support me after the job was completed with answering questions and dropping of small tid bits that I had forgotten. This was my first renovation and I simply could not have done it without Joe! As a young woman, I have been taken advantage of by some contractors on this renovation, this did NOT happen with JDV Electric. Ladies, I cannot tell you how appreciative I was to have an honest worker in my home. Joe will put your mind at rest and do right by you.

Thank you again for everything, Joe!

Top notch electricians, I am so pleased.  Tony came out promptly and on a Saturday due to my work schedule.  It turns out my problem was very minor due to a plug not being secure, and he didn't end up charging me for the visit, which I thought was beyond gracious, given that Tony still spent his time coming.  He also educated me a lot on the house wiring.  I would absolutely recommend them a million percent!

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.

I needed some minor electric work done at my house to get a U&O Permit.

While these guys did the work properly and were friendly enough, their rates appear to be made up on the spot, with no breakdown of cost, and are ridiculously high.

They wanted $150 just to put in a panel directory, and charged me $800 for relatively minor electrical work. I didn't know any better, and was just desperate to get the certification at the time, but even the inspector suggested I was ripped off at that rate.

..reply  to buisness response:

I asked for a breakdown of the cost at the time of the estimate, after finding out you guys wanted $150 for the directory, just to find out if there was something else I could take  out to DIY and save money. Your employee told me they don't have that, and it's just a general amount for the work in total.

If I knew you were charging $255 just to change a 20watt breaker to a 15w, I definitely  would have done that myself. Not sure why only after a bad review I'm
getting this breakdown, when I asked for it before.

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

I'd call them....amazing. The tech was very professional, knew exactly what to do, and completed the job. The cost was quite reasonable, as well. Our tech, Hector, arrived exactly when we were told. The team at Thomas Edison were really nice and easy to talk with. So, yeah, amazing.

Service was efficient and thorough. They also took care to ensure adequate permits were issued from the township prior to the work being scheduled.

Thomas Edison Electric came out on a Saturday and replaced two light switches in my house. The gentleman was right on time, very pleasant and professional.  These light switches are in my kitchen and very important.  I have nothing but good things to say.

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.

My wife called on a Monday for a baseboard heater malfunction issue, and the technician was out the very next day. Professional, safe, courteous and reasonably priced for the project. Highly recommend Married 2 Electric for your needs. They will be fair and won't try to sell you on unnecessary work at your home.
(FYI, mask worn the entire time he was on our property. Even when outside on the phone).

I had been saving up a bunch of work for Joel this year. Gave him the laundry list and scheduled a day for him and Jay to swing by. They had already done the kitchen reno, a bunch of smart lighting and controls, and camera installations for us last year.

This year it was ceiling fans, additional smart lighting controls, new lighting fixtures, and to troubleshoot a problematic camera.

Not only was the work done efficiently, but the new lighting fixtures look like they were always there. He also considered the camera troubleshooting warranty work although it turned out to be a manufacturer issue to their satisfaction. Above and beyond.

As long as Joel is in business, we'll continue to use him for our electrical needs.

I recently purchased a washer and dryer that were set to be delivered to my new home on Saturday. On Wednesday I realized that I did not have an outlet to put the washer on. I called Strickland Electric and told him what my situation was. He came out that same day to give me an estimate. The price was $25 cheaper than another estimate I received and he agreed to do the work before the washer and dryer were set to arrive. He arrived within the time frame he set and started right to work. He cleaned up his work area when done. Last he showed me how to turn the socket on and off and explained instances where it would turn off on its own. He was very polite and professional. Strickland Electric is going to be my go-to electrician from now on.

Alba Electric installed a new electrical panel in our home and also made sure that our pool was safe to swim in. They did such an amazing job that we had them come back to wire our newly installed bathroom exhaust fans. Ilir, the owner, is highly organized, prompt, always answers the phone, and his pricing is fair. He has a great team of electricians who work for him. I can't say enough about this company. We will be calling Alba Electric for all of our electrical service needs.

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.
