Best Track Lighting Repair in Philadelphia PA

He was not able to do the job I needed but he took the time to explain what the work required and how much it should cost to repair.  Greg insights was extremely helpful and very appreciated.  He even provided his phone number in case I had any questions.

I had some ceiling fans installed and a panel upgrade done. Jim came to my home himself and gave an estimate. He made the drawing of the work and applied for the permit. On the day of the job, Jim was not present, in fact no one present was a licensed electrician (which I found alarming but apparently this is common practice). The work was done in a timely fashion and the price was reasonable. A switch needed to be moved, requiring some sheetrock work, the quality of which was mediocre at best (I had to re-spackle and re-sand it) however the electrical work was good quality. The team was professional and friendly.

When the kitchen lights flickered on their own I knew it was either paranormal or an electrical problem.  Three electricians diagnosed moisture in the panel causing erosion and faults.   I knew I was in for a hefty contractor's bill but didn't realize how much of a problem this was or how much work they'd have to do.  

The recommendation was for a new panel as well as removing one of PECO's outside meters and putting the load onto the other.  

I chose JDV for a few reasons.  Their prices were a bit more reasonable on the panel and theirs included whole house surge protection system, and updated my main grounding system.  

In talking to Anthony, the sales person also the installer, I explained my frustration at frequent power outages. Anthony recommended an outlet at the side of the house so I could hook up a 30 amp generator directly to the panel box.  This was a recommendation no other company gave and because helped me with a problem I went with JDV.  

The team of three installed;
Premium 200 AMP Panel Package * Outside service cable & meter socket * 200 AMP Panel - full copper buss bar * Whole house surge protection system * Update main grounding system * Label all circuits, took the outside main PECO meter apart and replaced all the wires, cleaned it's corrosion, and put silicone all around the joints to prevent further moisture from getting into it and down into the house's panel.  

Now, the cost wasn't cheap.  And, bottom line, the work is clean and I found they worked well together as a team, very professional.

Meter socket/pan needed to be replaced. Edison and crew came out and did the work quickly for a fair price. Prompt, communicative, competent, and professional. 100% would use them for repeat business.

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

Ilir was excellent to work with. He is thorough and communicative. He replaced and relocated our electric panel, extended our Comcast line so it could reach the TV, installed a new light fixture, and did a number of other smaller projects for us. The work seems top notch and I would highly recommend him for any electrical needs.

Al was great. Very helpful. He went out of his way to fix my smoke alarm that had been beeping all night long, driving my kid and dog crazy. He understood my angst and came same day that I called. Also went to Home Depot to pick up a replacement. Thank so much you Al!!

We had 3 outlets installed in our garage.  Our electrician was friendly and explained everything that I needed done.  The job was clean and the wires were clean leading up the the fuse box.  The office staff have been so helpful from start to finish.  We are a repeat customer.  Always a job well done!

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.

I hired Fortech to rewire a doorbell that hasn't worked properly the entire time I've lived in my house (5+ years). I recently decided get it fixed because I got a doorbell camera. 2 other electricians couldn't figure out the problem and just said rewire it.
First of all Fortech was super responsive and gave me a reasonable quote over the phone before they came out. And they came out within like 2 business days of my initial inquiry. The guys that came out were very thorough and spent a long time working on the bell until they figured out the problem...& it didn't need to be rewired. Meanwhile I had received a $1200 quote from another company to rewire and ended up paying significantly less...and my doorbell works! I would definitely hire them again for future projects.

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 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!!

Very satisfied. Fast, efficient, friendly and professional. Had an electrical outlet that was sparking, and needed it looked at. Glenn was here in about an hour and made the repairs, checked everything out, got full power restored to the entire house in short order, and explained what had happened & what he did. Will definitely call G&R Electric again for my electrical needs :).

**UPDATE** Fayiz just reached out and stated he never confirmed because, after I sent my info, I asked if he provides receipts and, since he didnt respond, the I have you for Thursday (see attached picture) was not a confirmation O_O.  Absurd.
He also says he did not respond due to a family emergency, which I can empathize with, and since I'm not evil I am amending my 1 star to 3, and that's being super generous.

Set up an appointment for today, 7/23 between 5-6 pm.  Well guess what?  Dude is a no call/no show.  There are other things I could be doing instead of wasting time waiting for a professional to show up to an appointment.  Should have believed the other no show reviews.  Don't waste your time on this one.  Who cares about reviews that say his work is good, doesn't matter if he can't be bothered to show up or communicate that he's not coming.

Don is a really nice guy. I purchased  an old row home with lots of old/shoddy wiring. He updated as many of the outlets as possible in preparation for an upcoming rewire job. Basically, he got the house so the electrical is safe and reliable while I save up the big bucks for the larger rewire job.

Pros: He's a guy, not a company, so you always deal with him directly. He's a hard worker, and will always be honest about the depth/scope of the work needed. He's clean and neat--when he worked at my place he laid down numerous cushioned drop cloths, swept up, and took all of his mess with him when he left. He was also really nice to my hardwood floors. I think messy job sites are a pet-peeve of his. He's incredibly knowledgeable and totally let's you pick his brain.

Cons: There's really only one. He's really scatter-brained and hard to schedule. Like every other great contractor, he books out weeks (if not months) in advance. He doesn't have a receptionist or anything, so you end up having to call and remind him about the job 2 days prior, then the day of. It's annoying, but a small price to pay for good work. I'm always weary of tradesmen whose schedules are wide open.

He mostly works out by Chestnut Hill but would venture farther into Philly if you sweet talk him into it. I'm planning my rewire job for the spring, so you can bet I'll be setting up dates with him in February.
