Best Lighting Repair in Philadelphia PA

Caution! They do not provide any detail on the bill!
Gen3 came out to help fixing my wall outlet. The technician called prior to the installation to give a quote, and we agreed on a price ($347.14 for changing the outlet and installing new breakers, seemed steep but I agreed anyways). 5 mins later I called back to ask for the break down of the bill. I said I would like to know a little more about what they are charging me for, like the material cost, labor cost, other chargers..... I got a big NO, and that is strange to me. I don't mind pay more for good services, but I would like to know where my money goes. $347.14 doesn't seem like a made up number to me, and this is not a complicated service. What is there to hide?????
They responded: As I stated before,  our pricing consists of many factors.  Our policy is up front pricing,  we do not break it down as you would like.   We do not negotiate pre-authorized,  completed work.  We do not have hourly rates.  We are not the cheapest nor do we claim to be.
My outlet is fixed and I am happy. I still won't recommend this company simply because I think the way they do business is not genuine.

Greg answered my Yelp quote request quickly, and walked me through what I needed to do to fix my breaker over message. No need for him to come and no cost to me!

I am so grateful and impressed and looking forward to hiring him for future projects.

Thank you so much for your help!

Larry and his boys were great. We are in the process of slowly fixing up an old brownstone, which means lots of surprises and expensive updates. They were more than kind in our first round of work, very informative and easy to work with. They did quick, clean work installing ceiling lights and outlets.

I am happy to have found them to spruce up our old home!

Since my husband and I bought our own home they have done all of our electrical work. When Jim's team was preparing to install electric baseboard heaters in our third floor nursery, he found out the baseboard heaters we ordered to have installed weren't arriving on time ( this was in the winter) he came on his own time and dropped off his own electric heaters for us to borrow until they arrived to be installed. We will never use anyone else. Amazing prices to boot.

I don't hire contractors often. When I do I'm extremely particular and critical. JDV did excellent work. Great pricing. Courteous. Clean. If ever I need an electrician again. I will surely call.

I highly recommend iTech, and I would hire them again in a minute.  Tony came out very soon after we connected on yelp and was thorough in his estimate.  And Terrance and his partner just left.  They were professional, quiet, neat, efficient, wore shoe covers and laid their tools down on clean tarps.  Reasonably priced.  They explained everything to me as they went, asking if I liked the height and positioning of the fixtures along the way, and took the shipping boxes with them when they left.  You can feel very comfortable hiring iTech.

The experience with FMJ Electrical was exceptional from the start. A wonderful person answering the phone, smart and efficient. It was an emergency and they arrived so fast. Frank was very professional , his shirt was so clean and pressed. First impressions are everything! Frank and his crew fixed the electrical service in hours. His crew was well prepared, qualified and knowledgeable and they also recommended a inspector to come out to do a complete inspection for PECO. Everyone is so personable. Work ethics are top notch!!! I will definitely make use of their services again and will highly recommend. I was so impressed with the professionalism and level of expertise. Call them first!

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.

CJ did an awesome job running new wiring from my panel to a new outlet for a sauna I am installing. He was attentive to detail, clean work, no damage to walls - looks like he was never here. Highly recommend for quality work at good price. Responded to me an completed the job in less than 24hrs from my first outreach.

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.

We were very pleased with the work from Alex and his crews.  They did the wiring and installing Tesla wall connector in our garage.  Alex is knowledgeable and meticulous. His work is clean and neat.  We will use his services again in the future.  Highly recommended.

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.

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.

Everything you want in an electrician - skill, experience, reliability, attention to detail, reasonable prices. I've used Joel at least 4 times so far and will continue to do so until they outlaw electricity or electricians.

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.

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.

Love this company and the two staff electricians that were dispatched to my home. I was pretty nervous to contact an electrician from an online google search, but I was pleasantly surprised. They were honest, fast, explained well and repaired shoddy electrical work that I had done. I am truly grateful that they quickly restored electricity to my home, in time for my first Thanksgiving in my new home!
