Best Track Lighting Repair in Philadelphia PA

Simply outstanding. He certainly went the extra mile to make sure we get the best service. Utilized smartphone capabilities to get an accurate estimate of what we need, and made arrangements to work around his schedule to give us a more affordable quote. On a separate occasion, he spent 10 minutes on the phone giving us advice on how to troubleshoot things first before charging us for coming in. A true professional who values and understands the importance of reputation in this business.

We have used Jim & Sons electric on 3 different occasions
We have been very pleased each time
They back up all work they do and make sure the work is done right ( including small things such as how it looks after installation)
It is so hard to find reasonably priced and competent electricians... They fit that description perfectly

Buckle up - long review incoming.

Had JDV out to do an estimate - Mike arrived promptly, was professional and courteous, and provided information throughout his time here. However, that is where the positive part ends.

After performing the estimate. Mike sat down with me and presented two packages - one for 16000 dollars and another for 3200. The lesser estimate was to replace outlets and replace expired hardwired smoke/CO detectors. These detectors go from anywhere between 40-55 dollars (retail, not wholesale) depending on the brand, with labor being roughly 1 hour to replace all necessary components (there were 8). JDV wanted 3200 Dollars to replace those and roughly 25 outlets (only 1 of those being GFI) inside of the home. This is a total of about 4 hours' worth of work (generously and assuming brittle wiring (which I likely have).

That was bad enough.

The higher (and considerably more insane) estimate - 16k - included a panel replacement - a 50-foot junction box run to replace an old fuse sub-panel, (5 breakers total) - run a grounding wire, and do the aforementioned work contained in the smaller estimate. He also noted, corrosion (nothing reaching the buss bar or any corrosion besides humidity (a flex seal fix) - and explained that I would need a new panel and new fireguard breakers.

Please keep in mind - an 80 slot 200 amp panel is 130 dollars at home depot (with standard GE breakers - which are fine of course). Additional breakers as needed are cheap and effective. Additionally, it is noted on the estimate that if any fireguard panels actually trip - it is roughly 400 dollars (per breaker!) for them to fix that issue. Using that math - JDV wanted roughly 8 THOUSAND dollars (conservative) in labor to perform the panel/breaker change)

He also pushed a whole house surge protector (I run UPS on all of my electronics already) - and their service plan which includes yearly inspections.

When I asked him to provide a breakdown for parts and labor - Mike explained that JDV does not provide that and that the estimates include cost of doing business, and of course their 3-year warranty (keep in mind most products serviced come with their own manufacturer's warranty. Please keep in mind that they only warranty their service (Ie. Actual work) for one year.

I believe my internal thought process was that I could BECOME an electrician AND perform the work for about the cost of the estimate. I believe what I actually asked is do people actually pay you those prices?

I have owned multiple houses and have has almost all of the work done described in the estimate on one property or another. I have never encountered an estimate even in the realm of what JDV quoted me. His reticence to break down the estimate further cemented my skepticism.

I am sure the work is top-notch based on reviews and how thorough the inspection was. I was floored by his pricing. I called another electrician with similarly strong reviews - and provided him with the breakdown of what JDV quoted me. For the SAME work minus the service plan or whole house surge protector - I was quoted a respectable 2300 dollars. Same warranty, same service window.

The moral of the story - ask for a breakdown of services, and please make sure you do your homework before agreeing to pay that type of pricing. There are much more reasonable estimates to be had.

These guys are great! The home we bought had antiquated laundry room power outlets. Tony was able to come and upgrade them same day, and at a fair price. He was efficient, very detail oriented, and a nice guy. We'll be using their services again whenever we need electrical work!

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 bought a house 5 years ago and we have always been hesitate to call an electrician since we thought it was going to cost a lot with all the projects we had.  I messaged Alba Electric and within 10 minutes got a response and he was on my way to give me a quote for our dishwasher not working (outlet was out) and splitting the wires for the fan and the light.  He gave me a very reasonable quote.  The whole process from me sending a message on yelp to him walking out the door only took 2 hours and he's such a sweetheart!   Found my go to guy for my electrical needs!  He knows what he's talking about so message him!!

When we bought our house, it came with a duel-fuel range. Recently, the oven broke and it was expensive enough to repair that it made sense to just buy a new range. Fast-forward four weeks and we got our new induction range today. As soon as it was plugged in there was a spark and the breaker tripped. The installers said the unit was not likely to blame and that we should call an electrician.

I called Campbell Electric, and the gentleman on the phone asked some questions to make sure he understood our problem. He explained that it sounded like a faulty unit, as a way of helping me save money. I asked for someone to come out anyway because 1) I would need proof it wasn't my system; and 2) we've found other ... weird stuff in this house, so if the wiring was bad I wouldn't have been too surprised.

They had someone in my area and at my door within 30 minutes. After examining stuff, it turns out that the outlet HAD been wired incorrectly!  I guess the flippers had then just wired the old range to match?

Anyway, I was impressed by how they tried to save me some money; how they were able to get me help quickly; and how they friendly and explained what they were doing and finding as they went.

From the first phone call the experience was fantastic and very professional!!  Samantha was excellent and then when Josh showed up he was also very courteous and was a huge help with our issue.  Josh was honest and again assuring of a fix to the issue.  Josh is an asset to your services!!  Thanks

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.

James was super kind to come and sort our electrical problem on 1st Jan 10 am. Our microwave was not functioning and James one by one walked through the possible issues. Finally we realized that it is a microwave problem rather than an electrical circuit issue. Nevertheless he set up a separate exclusive breaker for the microwave. The best part was that he charged as per his quote though it took slightly more time. The overall price was also much lower than other quotes we received.

One small area of improvement- If they could come come with a broom to do the cleanup :)

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!!

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.

Contracted F&A to replace alot of outlets/breakers in my house which is pretty old.  Great communication, came next day, worked fast and got the job done right. Will use Fayed again in future.

I've used Don Miller Electrical a couple of times and have always been very satisfied with the quality of the work. Don is incredibly easy to deal with, is very honest and takes great pride in doing the job correctly. For example, when I had my kitchen renovated a few years ago, in addition to simply installing some recessed lighting, he helped me with the design and layout of them to prevent shadows and dark spots. I recently had him out for another (unrelated) service call and my experience was, once again, great. Not only was the job done in a timely and professional manner, but they went above and beyond to clean up the area after they were done. I can confidently say that Don is my go-to guy for all things electrical and highly recommend him.
