Best Commercial Services in Philadelphia PA

Despite being a frequent Yelp user, this is the first time I've felt compelled to write a review. I contacted Greg via Yelp's generic request a quote link. He replied within an hour to let me know I was out of service area. He could have simply ignored the request or replied with one quick sentence, but instead he wrote a several paragraph reply with: ideas of what could be causing the problems, links to helpful resources, and detailed, step-by-step instructions on troubleshooting both projects. He also shared his cell phone number in case I had any questions or issues. Who does that?! Who takes the time to write a long message full of free advice to someone he knows will give him zero business. I am simply blown away by his kindness and intend to recommend him to my friends that live in his service area.

Really nice guy who works with his sons. Called me back within 24 hours even though I was a new customer and came by to do some small jobs for me the next day in my Center City townhouse. Was able to troubleshoot and fix everything on my list, and was fair to me with his pricing. I was pleased with the whole experience--better than electricians I've tried in the past who either haven't been good with communication or willing to do small jobs or don't really know what they're doing--Larry seemed both competent and a responsible communicator, and was personable as well. A good find!!

I was able to book right away. They were clean, considerate, and quick. We will definitely book again

I read these people as zero I scheduled online through Yelp app the appointment was confirmed based on their timeline my husband stayed home from work today to meet these people and no one ever showed up no one ever called me this is poor business practices and we would not recommend this service to no one

CJ did an awesome job running new wiring from my panel to a new outlet for a sauna I am installing. He was attentive to detail, clean work, no damage to walls - looks like he was never here. Highly recommend for quality work at good price. Responded to me an completed the job in less than 24hrs from my first outreach.

Very educational and responsive. However, we weren't able to move forward with hiring them (maybe in the future) to due the 95 dispatch fee. I still would recommend them given how professional and respectful they are.

This is the second time PEM has installed motion sensor outdoor lighting. The installation went well - we are pleased - hopefully the wild critters in our yard will not! Thanks

Thomas Edison Electric came out on a Saturday and replaced two light switches in my house. The gentleman was right on time, very pleasant and professional.  These light switches are in my kitchen and very important.  I have nothing but good things to say.

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!!

I just moved into the Furlong area from Manhattan. Don't know anyone here. I looked up reviews of various electricians but they were either expensive or had bad reviews. One fellow from another company came out and gave me a high estimate. I was looking for someone to put in two receptacles on its own 15 amp breaker in the basement and run a Cat 6 ethernet line there as well.  Plus change the ends of three phone connectors in my home to Ethernet as Cat 5E wiring was already in place.

After getting some high prices I finally found Joel who owns Aratechservices.  He didn't have any reviews on Yelp (though there were some hidden reviews blocked by their bot) but he did have some on Google. They were all good. So I called Joel and he talked with me for a bit, not making me feel rushed. I explained to him what I wanted to do. Being in the IT business I had some ideas what this should cost. He said best for him to come out, see everything to give a more accurate estimate. We made an appointment a few days later and he arrived exactly on time.  Went over some different plans, he listened to my thoughts and he had some good ideas as well and I was happy to the costs involved.  But he said he would send over an estimate that evening so I could see the prices for everything.

Sure enough that estimate arrived by evening and it was professionally displayed with every line item detailed and the plan explained. There was a place where I could modify the plan or accept as is. I chose to modify slightly our idea and he agreed and kept it at the same price even though it required some more time on his behalf.

Joel arrived couple days later with his assistant Tim and immediately began running the electrical line to the basement. I was right away impressed as his assistant held a vacuum to collect all the debris! They routed the line through conduit that was the shortest and cleanest route they could find. Had to cut a square into the basement ceiling for access. Then they ran the CAT 6. Same attention to detail to drop it down. Capped it off with a two gang plate with two receptacles and an ethernet jack.  While he was doing this part he said he could easily install two electrical receptacles in the garage that could be handy in the future. At NO additional cost. I said sure lets do it and was very happy about that.

Joel then moved on to the router side where we were going to take three ethernet outputs and run it to Verizon punch down block so I could get ethernet in the three other rooms. But then we had a thought. Since he just provided two ac receptacles near the Verizon box how about we put a 5 port ethernet switch right inside and then we only need one ethernet coming out of the router. I had a few switches being in the computer business. This would cut down running two other lines and make the whole thing easier. Joel agreed and now we had a better setup. After this was completed he terminated the three phone lines with ethernet jacks and we tested all of them by doing a speed test. Sure enough I was getting 1 Gig to all locations as I have 1 Gig coming from the Fios router.  He also had his voltage/electrical meter on the new ac line the whole time testing as well.

At this point everything was done other then cleanup.  I noticed Tim was no longer around. The only thing I was concerned about was that square hole in the basement ceiling. Was he going to cover that?  I didn't say anything to Joel to see what would happen. Then I mentioned Where is Tim? Is he all done as I wanted to say goodbye and thank him with a tip.  That's when Joel said he sent him to Home Depot as he did not have a cover for the basement ceiling. Sure enough Tim arrived back ten minutes later with the cover and they installed it.  As they were leaving (after 5 hours of solid work) I asked Joel about payment and he said he would send the bill electronically and I could pay using Paypal. He must have been busy that night or tired as I didn't receive until the next night.  To cap it all off he actually reduced the price of the original estimate. Since we changed the plan by putting in the switch he didn't need as many parts and time to complete the job. He passed those savings on to me and I immediately sent payment!

All in all I am extremely satisfied with the work Joel and Tim from Aratechservices performed. They are super professional. Highly recommend for any electrical needs!!

Let me first start off with I hate writing reviews!!!!!Was referred to Strickland Electric LLC by a friend after being referred to a company (I will write a review about those guyslater) that sent a BLIND electrician to my home (can't make this shit up)!

Mr. Strickland came to my home and accessed all the issues from the previous electrician, and other problems that needed to be addressed.  Very professional, courteous and punctual.  After receiving this information , I just knew I was going to be house poor in the poor house!  #NOPE fair, affordable pricing.  I hired Strickland Electric to complete the job, which was done impeccably.  I have since used Strickland twice after that and I have another appointment this week.  ANDDDDDD they cleaned up when the job was completed (unlike some companies..oh! that's right, he couldn't see the trash he left behind)

Strickland Electric are my new electricians.

Thanks to Mr. Strickland and his professional crew.

First thing first... he answers the phone.  Even more amazing, he tried to talk me through it before we decided I was in over my head.  Made time on a Sunday to come and see what was wrong.  Methodical in his trouble shooting and was able to isolate the problem to an exposed junction box (unlike the last electrician who said he'd have to tear out sheetrock and wanted $2000 to do the job).  Quickly fixed it.

Then, to top it all off, answered a question I had about installing the rest of my smart switches on a Sunday evening.

Good guys, fair pricing and great work ethic.

Joe showed up in a mask and upgraded our circuit breaker professionally and quickly. I tried reaching several electricians before getting ahold of Thomas Edison Electric, and they were non-responsive. Once I found these guys, they responded right away and fixed our issue the following morning. I will definitely call them again next time I need an electrician.

Wonderful experience! Arrived ahead of schedule to install recess lighting in our living room and they replaced two light fixtures. They were super nice and left no mess behind! Would highly recommend them for any of your electrical needs

Having never hired a contractor to do any work in my home, I can't say enough great things about Anton Electric!

Everyone in my family is in some sort of skilled trade so we rarely have to hire contractors.  My cousin is an electrician but he's been unavoidably detained with a 4 year old and a new born, so I had to call in the pros to install our media center and wire in a ceiling fan where no electric existed before.

Jeff, from Anton Electric, was not only on time each day he came, but he was professional and did everything neatly and proper.  He installed all of our components in the basement and ran an infrared device through the walls and placed it discretely next to the TV (which I still can't find).  Now everything is out of site in the basement and all we have in our living room is the TV and speakers - it's amazing!  Everything is controlled through this infrared and changing channels and such sends a signal to our devices in the basement.  I'd highly recommend this if yo want to hide your devices.

Jeff also installed a ceiling fan in our living room and honestly, he had it up in under 20 minutes.

We shopped around with some other contractors and Anton was not only the most competitive, but they appeared to have had the best reputation.  We'll be calling them back when we redo our kitchen or have any other electrical needs! Thanks Anton!

Timely, efficient, and affordable. From the initial estimate to the finished job Wade knew what he was doing and my wife and I couldn't be happier with the results.

I called this company on a hot summer day when my tenant called me and told me her power went off.  I was running around town with my two kids, so in a hurry I decided to call the first company I saw on yelp. I really wish I had taken more time to look for a more reputable company.

First, be aware that this company has multiple listings for different locations all over the city. If you look at their other listings, you will see the many poor reviews that they have received.

I received multiple phone calls from different people after my initial service request. They repeatedly told me that there is a $165 charge for emergency dispatch, and that once they do an inspection, they will let me know what the cost of the actual work will be. When the technician got to the house, a guy named Steven Miller called me and said he wanted me to pay the dispatch fee upfront before anything is done.  He then sent me an email to get my written authorization to charge the credit card. All of this seemed a bit odd to me... the multiple phone calls, the written authorization, the fee up front... but I didn't think too much of it and just proceeded.

About 10 minutes after I paid for the dispatch fee, Steve calls me back with his technician on the phone to tell me that they have to charge me another fee for the diagnostic. I told them that my understanding was after spending $165 they would be able to tell me what's wrong and give me an estimate on the cost of the work. He then proceeded to repeat everything that he and another one of his employees had already told me over the phone multiple times. I told him that I did not feel comfortable proceeding forward and that I was going to call around to see if other companies have similar practices. He then had his other employee (a woman with a courteous voice) call me to try to reason with me. I told her again that I was going to call around and if this is common practice, then that's fine, but if not then I will be leaving a long review for them.

I got off the phone with the woman and called another local electrician. This man was honest, prompt and straightforward. He came out within half hour and fixed the problem for me under 10 minutes and charged me a third of what Thomas Edison had quoted me for simply coming out and finding out what the problem is (not including any work done).

Needless to say, I will be sticking with my honest electrician from now on. Steve did call me again to tell me that he would not charge me the $165 as a courtesy to make me happy. I thought for a second about not leaving a bad review, but I decided that I cannot let this company get away with unethical practice. This company needs to know that people are not stupid and this kind of bait and switch business practice will only backfire. Simple honesty, trustworthiness and respect for people is the way to go.

We needed our circuit box replaced asap after a small electrical fire. Thomas Edison returned my call within ten minutes and had someone out within 2 hours. Vasyl was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. We would definitely recommend and would use again should the need arise.
