Best Outdoor Light Repair in Philadelphia PA

Figured we would use Gen3 to figure out why our AC unit was emitting a cigarette smell since they had good reviews online.

Terrible idea! We paid $75 just to get someone to our house- mind you, Gen3 is less than 1 mile away from my house. A repairman proceeded to walk through our house with his equipment and state he'd let us know what his thoughts were. This took less than 10 minutes and he had no clear solutions or answer for us, including no services he could provide to definitively deal with the issue at hand. Then he proceeded to tell us after the fact that we owe another $100 that does not include the $75 we pay up front.

So altogether we paid $175 for no services to be done to our AC unit, which now stopped working a few days after this repairman came.

Whatever you do, find another repair service that is up front and honest about their prices and fees. Extremely upset that we wasted our time and our money with this company.

Greg is hands down the best contractor we've ever hired.  We hired Greg to correct a few electrical problems inside our very old condo as well as put in recessed lights in our living room and all of the work was done exactly as asked.  Greg is very knowledgeable and his communication skills really separate him from the previous contractor's that we've worked with.  He explained the work he was going to do, why/how he was doing it, and what the end product would be very thoroughly and he did not disappoint.  You can really tell that he loves what he does as it shows in his attitude and the work that he does.  Not only that, he is very reasonably priced.  Before starting the work, Greg quoted us an already reasonable price and we ended up paying even less when the work was completed.  We cannot say enough good things about him or his work and we will definitely be hiring Greg for all of our electrical needs in the future!

I contacted Jim & Sons Electric to get an estimate for a relatively minor job, but one that I knew would turn into a major job if I did it myself. They advised me that they had a technician in the area, and could be out that same afternoon.
Their tech showed up as promised, spent a few minutes evaluating the job and suggested that I order the light fixture of my choice, and let them know when I received it.
I contacted Jim & Sons the day I received the fixture, and again, they had someone available to do the installation that same afternoon.
It's not easy finding a company that is responsive and courteous, and who also does a good job and has reasonable prices. I'll definitely use Jim & Sons Electric for any future jobs. Great service!

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 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.

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.

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

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!!

Strickland Electric installed my ceiling fan. I am very pleased. They gave me the white glove treatment from start to finish, protecting floors and furniture. They were prompt and efficient. Attention to detail is their specially. Also I loved how they explained things to me and even went over with me about my other electrical issues I have to address in my home. Yes, I would recommend them.

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 : /

We tried to call several electrical companies in our area with no answer and no response despite leaving messages. We called CWC and our call was answered right away. Chris scheduled an appointment for us the same exact day. He was punctual, pleasant, professional, and he fixed our issues immediately. The pricing is great, the service unmatched. We were so impressed with his work that we've got him coming back later this week to get more things done! Definitely would recommend this company.

Yelp'ers, Here we go. I reviewed all possible Electrician candidates & decided from the 5 Star reviews to hire services from Campbell Electric. Well first off Mr. Wade gives a very prompt appointment & came over the next day right away & very early 8:00 AM. Excellent I like early risers. Up front the service FEE including work is $125 an hour when the appointment is made. Mr. Wade was a very nice middle aged gentleman, who was a very knowledgeable in
his skilled profession. I had 2 very old bells replaced with new Victorian designs.

Also an old lighting unit with a pull chain. The lighting unit was prewar as Mr. Wade stated. He taught me a 2 valuable lessons. This family home is over 100 years old. Years ago this home ran on gas. Up in the lighting unit is a structure which was connected to this gas unit, which was converted but parts were left. I had previously purchased a chandelier one year ago & never had it installed. Mr. Wade could not install the new unit. He suggested a plumber inspect & remove the above ceiling gas unit, before he could install any new system. Also to never buy online lighting without knowing what is in the ceiling unit. This is only for very old homes. So the prewar unit was replaced with an updated similar model with the florescence large round bulb.  

Mr. Wade had 2 leave & go 2 the warehouse & purchase this item for $ 25 & the bulb. I really tried 2 update an older system & it did not work out. In the long run it will be very costly. The chandelier is medium but very beautiful. Extremely too late for a return & refund. I waited 2
long in finding a very good electrician. Overall the conversation & service was great.
My price was $ 275 & I gave a $15 tip. Oh well you live & learn. Thank you so much Yelp,
I now have an Electrician that is very good.

I had an emergency and called Marella Electric and they were able to come out and do the work that was needed.  Very responsive, great work and great price!  I would use them again in a second and as a matter of fact, they will be back out to complete some other work for us after the holidays.  Awesome service and work!!!  Thanks John!

Adam is nothing short of outstanding.  His prices, craftsmanship, work and availability is second to none.  He will square you away.  If you are a veteran like me I highly recommend you give him a call for any of your electrical needs.  I am absolutely going to use Hummingbird for every electrical job that is required in my home.

Thomas showed up with a mask, he inspected the layout with a professional outlook, to be creative and installed the correct kinds of outlets, wasn't someone who wanted shortcuts, took him two hours over the required time and was reasonable. Great job done Thomas!

Raul helped us renovate a commercial property and was very polite. The quote was fair and him and his team completed it in a timely manner. I am excited to work with them again in the future!

My mom recommended Mike for some work I needed done on my home because he had done a bunch of stuff at her house in Wilmington. She was very pleased with her experience, so she called to see if he was licensed in PA and willing to come to the Prospect Park area (he is/was).

He arrived with an assistant and completed the following work in about 2 hours:

- Installed a 220 volt outlet for my dryer
- Installed a dimmer switch in my living room
- Installed a fan with a light attached to it in my master bedroom
- Installed a light in my attic (with a chain pull and also a light switch)
- Removed the old wired doorbell

He was professional and cleaned up after himself. 5 stars for a job well done!

My husband and I bought a 120 year old house this fall and were looking for an electrician to remediate the knob and tube in a very tight two week period. Christian and his team were incredibly flexible and responsive and explained things super thoroughly to us as first time homeowners. Since the K&T removal, we have had them back for various projects around the house (fixing outdoor electric hookups, installing light fixtures, and doorbells) and the work is always done extremely well and fast! We will 100% be using them for all of our electrical needs in the future. I've recommended them to a couple of friends and cannot speak highly enough of this business!!
