Best Electrical Panel Installation in Philadelphia PA

Had Stan come out today for an electrical wire.  He was very helpful and reassuring.  Would highly recommend him and Generation 3 which had done previous work at my house.

Found Greg on Yelp. I explained my situation and he was SO helpful and honest up front when he told me he is too busy right now to take on my project. He gave me useful suggestions on my wiring project even though he could not do the job for me! I really appreciate his sharing his knowledge with me and the time he took to do so. If I ever have to have electrical work done, you bet he'll be the first call I make!
Thank you Greg!!

Have a property that needed the entire Electric panel replaced due to corrosion.
I was in need of prompt service, they were able to come out same day to diagnose my issue and performed the needed service the next day.  

Great and easy to deal with. They explained all services that needed to be performed and answered any questions I had along the way.  I felt the pricing was competitive and I was very confident in using them.  

I will recommend to others and will use again when I need service performed.

I sold my house to an FHA buyer and as expected, the inspector flagged a few things with the electrical system in our house.  Of course, the buyer asked for the entire house to be rewired, but we were not willing to spend the $4000+ to do that, so we countered and told them we would address only the items the inspector actually flagged, which were: correct reverse polarity in 2 outlets; install dedicated line from panel to 2 kitchen counter outlets and properly ground the GFIs; install a dedicated line to the bathroom and install GFI; install a dedicated line to the laundry room and install a GFI; and install a ground wire from the panel to the water meter.  Jim came out and gave us a very reasonable estimate to do all this work and once we made the decision to go with him, we scheduled the work to be completed a couple weeks later.  Two gentlemen came out to do the work and they were very nice, polite, and respectful.  I am always worried about being disrespected or taken advantage of as a woman in these situations, but they were both great.  When their work was finished, I asked them if I could use their outlet tester to take pictures of the grounded outlets and the corrected outlets to send to my realtor - she would be sending these on to the buyer's agent to show that the work had been completed.  During this last round, we discovered that one of the kitchen outlets did not have the same test result as the other, which led me to believe it might not be properly grounded.  I won't pretend to understand electrical work or terminology, but he tried to explain it to me - why it was fine the way it was, and would pass inspection - but I told him it would just make me feel better if the tester lit up the same way on this second kitchen outlet as it did on the first.  And he happily complied.  Without an attitude or irritation or anything.  So thank you so much for that!  It only took him an extra 10-15 minutes and at that point I was 100% satisfied with the work!  All said and done, this came out to less than $900, and I'm very pleased with the experience.  Jim was great to work with and so were his two men!

This company charges a $49 fee for coming out and giving an estimate, which is creditable against the job if you hire them.  The fee they quoted for the job I wanted done wasn't just high; it was utterly absurd.  I got another licensed electrician to do the job for less than one quarter of their quoted price.  Their electrician also began trying to up-sell me on other services the minute he walked in, before even looking at the job he was called to quote on.  In my experience this is a racket to collect $49 estimating fees without doing any work.  Stick with contractors who provide free estimates.

The first thing I did was to call HomeAdvisor, well that didn't work-out. So I googled the top 10 electricians in the Philadelphia area. iTech Electric had a great website with current reviews and good pictures of work projects. Talk to Tony on a  Tuesday, he gave a great estimate, came back Thursday on time and ( equip ) to work. Two hours later problem solve. Professional, clean, hardworking, and very nice people that answered all the questions I had. Five Stars don't begin to express my gratitude for a job well done. Thank you Tony, and also his hard working partner Skerdi.  #  Batman & Robin   Love you guys!!

The experience with FMJ Electrical was exceptional from the start. A wonderful person answering the phone, smart and efficient. It was an emergency and they arrived so fast. Frank was very professional , his shirt was so clean and pressed. First impressions are everything! Frank and his crew fixed the electrical service in hours. His crew was well prepared, qualified and knowledgeable and they also recommended a inspector to come out to do a complete inspection for PECO. Everyone is so personable. Work ethics are top notch!!! I will definitely make use of their services again and will highly recommend. I was so impressed with the professionalism and level of expertise. Call them first!

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

Very professional, knowledgeable, and handy. Affordable and well worth the money. CJ is so warm and charming. He came to check out the circuit breaker, his original job for coming to my home. Well I had a ring nest doorbell that had been sitting on my table for almost a year and CJ was more than happy to oblige me. Thank you CJ, you're the best. Will definitely be acquiring services from here on out. Gotta give a shout out to Pops as well. My motto now is One and Dunn!!!

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

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.

Called for estimate.  They came out for estimate we talked would be around $900.00. Recieved estimate with extra add ons  $2100.00. Called office stated it's a 2 man job and dangerous.  That's why I called an electrician and can't do myself.

Service was fast and the electrician was knowledgeable and thorough in diagnosing and resolving several wiring issues in my older home.

The Yelp community came through again! I used the message a project Yelp function to EP Electric for an outdoor electrical outlet problem. EP Electric responded within the time they said they would, and then called when scheduled two days later for a consultation.

I gave another description of the problem, and Andi informed me of the initial cost to come out and advised me of the Yelp coupon which I had known about. Anything above that cost would be discussed before the work would be done.

I made an appointment to have EP Electric come out, and Andi and his assistant showed up as scheduled. His communication beforehand to come to my house also was very good.

Fortunately for me, my problem was easy for Andi to resolve and the breaker only needed replacing. The whole thing was done in less than 30 minutes right before a super-drenching downpour. Good thing since it was an outdoor plug problem!

I'd highly recommend EP Electric. Very good communication and quick service. The right way to do business.

Everything you want in an electrician - skill, experience, reliability, attention to detail, reasonable prices. I've used Joel at least 4 times so far and will continue to do so until they outlaw electricity or electricians.

Found him through yelp. Owner came out to do a free look and sent me a typed estimate. One his employees came back on promised date and installed 2 ceiling fans and 2 light fixtures.  Owner sent me receipt and remained professional and polite even when i fussed at him about something that was not his or his tech's fault. (That alone would've earned him 5 stars!)
This is my first home and of all the people I've contacted for different repair/maintenance services he has been the most professional, least pushy and decently priced. I'm sure I'll use him again.

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 does great work.  Thorough, honest, good pricing.  3rd time using his services.  Highly recommend!

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.
