Best Sconce Light Repair in Philadelphia PA

Greg is the BEST.  When I first bought my house, Greg helped me with a few jobs when I first moved in, such as installing the dryer vent safely. He also helped me troubleshoot an electrical issue (a few of the circuits in my house were shorting out). Greg not only helped me fix the issues in my house but he helped me understand what was going on so that I could troubleshoot problems on my own in the future. He takes the time to fully explain things and imparts a great deal of knowledge which is super empowering as a first-time home owner. To find a contractor who takes the time to teach clients how to be more self-sufficient is amazing!

TL;DR Professional electricians, clean work, timely and the right price

Background:

I collected at least 4 estimates from electricians for the work I needed. One electrician was eliminated because he suggested work that didn't need to get done and another electrician was eliminated because his quote was too low.

I was left with 2 quotes that were comparable in price, one of which was Jim's. It was a hard decision to make given I don't know much about electrical work. Yet, two things stood out to me: 1) Jim included a few optional services like getting a totally new panel. He didn't mandate it but suggested it. He also gave me some background information on how to decide whether to do it now or later. 2) When his electricians came out for a quote I had them look at some of the other things the other electricians pointed out. Again, they gave me all of the information I needed to make an informed decision.

I appreciate experts who help their customers understand what they are paying for. That builds trust and shows integrity in an industry that sometimes feels it's lacking that all around.

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

Great work at a great price. He did the job for 1/3 of the price of Thomas Edison. very quick, responsive, and professional. 100% will call him again.

Maliek was great, prompt and efficient. Thank you!!! For one thing, Frank -- an actual person -- answered the phone. That's a plus. Maliek came when. Promised, masked (thank you) and was respectful of our home with covers over his shoes, cleaning up along the way and always communicating where he was in the process. He gave us 3 options to choose from and was patient while we weighed the pros and cons. I would use this company again.

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 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 : /

Chris did a great job on doing the electric work to enable a garbage disposal to be installed. He also installed GFCI outets, an above the sink light and additional switch. He communicated the job effectively, worked hard throughout the project and was reasonably priced. He ensured that the area was clean when he left. I talked to him about another possible job in the future. He knows his business. Will use again. Highly recommend.

I hardly ever post reviews but the service from Wade was so great that I am going to put aside the lazy part of me. Wade answered my inquiry within a hour and set up an appointment for the next day. My doorbell was not working and he was able to diagnose the issue on the spot, where I had multiple inspectors and contractors unable to figure it out before him. His prices are also very reasonable and to top it off, he's a great guy!

I'm a returning customer and can say with confidence that with Thomas Electric, you could never be wrong! I had an electrician come out from their company back in 2021 and remembered him being highly attentive, communicative and professional. The experience led me to hire them again today when I needed someone to fix an outdoor outlet. Jasin, our electrician, was communicative about the estimate at every step of the way and did a great job with the repair. The customer service staff was also highly supportive throughout the process.

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!

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!!

Glenn was very responsive and timely.  I called in the late afternoon and honestly didn't expect a phone call back that day.  Low and behold he called back around 4:00 and offered to come by to fix my issue.  He had to diagnose the problem by going through each outdoor outlet.  Once he fixed the one issue, I asked him to investigate another problem within the house.  Again, he was very thorough in his investigation and fixed the problem.  I would definitely recommend him him.  He's responsive, knowledgeable, thorough, and a friendly guy with very reasonable rates.

Excellent job !  The installation of the outdoor outlet near the pool was done perfectly. Highly recommended!

We thought he was very knowledgable and reasonable. Did a very good job and went beyond what was expected by helping us move some furniture. Good find.
