Best Virtual Consultations in Philadelphia PA

TLDR(too long didn't read) Gen 3 did an incredible job. Seem less experience from estimate to installation. Beat the pricing of most electricians that came out and were the most professional, efficient and transparent.

Here is some advice I will give to everyone. Call and schedule. I tried to schedule on the website and I was prompted with a fee and a time that was way further out. I understand that this would have applied to the eventual install but it never feels good to pay for an estimate. It was later explained that is typically for simple jobs that can be done in the moment. When the estimator came out not only did he give a fair price and inspect the job thoroughly he gave an honest opinion of what I should and shouldn't do. Additionally he looked at a small light switch issue and... fixed it in the moment. He shared that he tells the office he does this sometimes so I shouldn't be getting him in trouble. Others said they would changed 150-350 to resolve this simple issue. He did it in no time. Though he refused the tip I felt compelled because of his kindness.  He also advised against a second charger that I was originally thinking of to save money.

Booking was simple and only about 2 weeks out. Some other installers never called back or were months out... or just never called back.

The technicians were extremely professional and finished in no time. They finished ahead of schedule, cleaned up exceptionally well and explained everything.

What a pleasure to work with Gen 3! And I got a duck on my outlet!

This review is late but just a couple of quick comments about Greg and his work.  Back in July, I called Greg on a whim while looking up electricians on a Google search.  From the moment I called and spoke with him and explained the work we needed completed, I genuinely liked him.  He was very knowledgeable.  Setting up the appointment was easy and he came out to install a new electrical box for our new washer/dryer hook-up.  He even offered to replace our original box and the wiring that came with.  My husband and I couldn't be happier with his work and detail.  We plan on calling Greg for our other jobs throughout our fixer-upper.

I recently hired iTech Electric for a light installation project. This was the first time I've ever had to hire an electrician and I didn't know where to start. I asked for recommendations on a neighborhood Facebook group, but most of them were dead ends. Additionally, most companies wouldn't give me an estimate over the phone, or charged for someone to come out to provide an estimate.

However, not only did iTech gave me a very reasonable quote over the phone, they also were able to schedule me for the same week that I called them. They were very friendly, professional, and efficient, in and out in just a few hours. Another nice touch was that they patched any holes, cleaned up, and put my dining room back exactly how they found it.

I could not be happier with the service we received and would definitely hire them again in the 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

Brian and Michael arrived as scheduled and were very professional and polite. They worked quickly and efficiently. I now have a dedicated outlet for my new over the range microwave.  If needed I would gladly use them again!

Vlad and his fellow electrician did a great job. Highly recommended.

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.

Followed through in a timely and efficient manner and cleaned up afterwards. I would hire again.

I requested 10 different quotes for installing an EV Charger Outlet and Fortech Electric was the cheapest and one of quickest to respond and had the availability to do the work immediately.

The quote didn't mention patching but patching was included during the installation which most of the other electricians did not include.

Would definitely recommend Fortech if you need quick electrical work done at a very reasonable price.

Had to mount the EV Charger myself but I didn't mind as I didn't my new electric car yet.

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!

Contracted eagle to do a job at my home. Confirmed appointment a few days before.

No one showed up and they wouldn't respond to calls or texts. I could see from the iMessage that they read my texts (it displays time that they read the message) and never responded.

Absolutely did not value my time and left me looking for another contractor. Obviously I can't recommend eagle.

Service was efficient and thorough. They also took care to ensure adequate permits were issued from the township prior to the work being scheduled.

Best electrician ever! I am so happy to find him. He came out on a Sunday evening. He is personable and reasonable. I will be calling him again for more electrical work. This is a guy you can trust.

On Sept 21st  2022, we entered into a contractual agreement with Grounded Electric LLC (HIC # PA168075)  for renovations. We paid $18,000.00 by bank transfer (40% of total contract!) in a deposit as stipulated in the contract for services to total $50,000.00 by project completion.  Thomas Bush, the company's representative, stated that he attempted to obtain a permit from the City of Philadelphia but was unable to do so due to a lack of proper insurance coverage on his part. No work has been completed or started. This company initially said they were licensed and we checked their license with the state of PA and insurance as verification. However, when Thomas Bush applied for a permit with the City of Philadelphia, he was unable to provide the appropriate documentation (scope of work and insurance requirements) to secure a Philadelphia permit or license. He stated that the cost of the required insurance is not worth it for his business. More than three weeks after payment, on 10/15/2022 Thomas Bush stated he would refund the total amount of $18,000.00 back to us by 10/17/2022. We requested certified funds and tracking but after this request Thomas decided to send a personal check in an open window envelope via regular mail on 10/18/22. In quotes is direct communication with Thomas after asking him to send the refund via electronic or expedited means: Since it's not possible to issue the refund via methods it was received it's at my discretion how to issue the refund. I will mail a check with the full amount $18,000 to address listed below today via standard mail. This is the best I can do at this point in time. Consider my response a token a good faith that it's on the way, I could've gone silent and left you in the dark. Sorry again. How do you think we feel, waiting on an $18K personal check via snail mail in an open window envelope with no tracking after stating he could have gone dark? Hopefully the check arrives in a timely fashion and the personal check does not bounce.
