Get matched with top generator installers in Philadelphia, PA

"On 4/6/2018 a representative from Generation Electric came to my home to provide an estimate to replace an existing chandelier with a replacement of the same chandelier. The existing chandelier was being replaced due to the previous installation errors and damage sustained during the first installation attempt by another electrician. I made the representative aware of some very important aspects of the installation at this time. The chandelier has 22 crystals and would need the cords cut to equal lengths and rewired. Each crystal would need to be wrapped to insure that they would not bang against each other and become nicked. The entire fixture is very heavy and four people minimum would be needed onsite to install. The representative assured me none of these concerns would be an issue and that electricians experienced with installing similar fixtures would be sent for the install. I explicitly told him that this was a job for professionals experienced with this type of project and that I did not want a repeat the first attempt- the chandelier was expensive! On 4/24/2018 a crew of four electricians arrived to install the replacement chandelier. The first step was the removal of the old chandelier. After this was complete the electricians informed me that they did not feel comfortable or believe it was safe to install the new chandelier without additional support beams being installed in the ceiling. I agreed and told them I would have the ceiling cut open, supports installed, drywall replaced and everything repainted for the installation. I had this work completed over the next couple of weeks. On 5/11/2018 the second crew of electricians (only three this time) came to my home for the installation. The window of arrival was 8am to 10am with a call prior. I received no call and they arrived at 9:10am. After a few minutes of being there and me telling them protecting the crystals from nicks was top priority they determined they needed something to wrap each crystal with. Shouldn’t they have known this? One of the electricians was from the first crew additionally, this was made quite clear during the estimate. At this point two of the three guys left to go to Home Depot to buy bubble wrap. Approximately an hour later they returned with bubble wrap and began the installation. The team struggled from the very beginning from how to best move the fixture out of the box to work on the wiring to where to place the fixture to get the cord height adjustment taken care of. I told them that the previous team elevated the fixture across two four feet ladders which helped with being able to adjust the cords and wire the fixture. Once the wiring began one of the electricians told me that they would not be able to make sure each of the crystals were level and that the fixture was not meant to be rewired or have the cords cut to length. This was incredibly infuriating to me! I gave complete instructions to the estimator and hired your organization to complete an install that now I was being told could not be completed the way it was meant and agreed upon. Restoration Hardware indicates directly on their website that “cords can be cut to length at time of professional installation.” Isn’t that why I hired your organization?? I told the electricians this and one began to actually get aggressive and loud with me. It was to the point where they were saying they did not think they would be able to complete the job. At this time I had no other choice but to stop working (I work from home) and begin to assist in the process. I instructed them and assisted for the next two hours. I could hardly believe this was happening but wanted to get the fixture up and was done hearing them ***** about the fact that it was a difficult/impossible job and they only had three guys! I also called your office at this point to request a fourth person. I was told someone would look into it and call me back. I never received a return call. Apparently there was some communication with the electricians as they mentioned the field supervisor was not responding and was probably in a bar?!? During the process of me and one of the electricians trying to level and secure each cord- which by the way several crystals still are not even close to being level because the ladders were not level with each other- one of the other electricians went to get smoothies and one stood watching. After that part of the installation was complete the electrician that assisted me left for at least an hour- I think he went to sit in the van? The chandelier did finally make it up to the ceiling but is not flush to the ceiling all the way around- it was too heavy to do this with three guys which is why four was requested during the estimate. During the clean-up of all the trash, wires etc which piled up along the way one of the guys ran right into the crystals (now uncovered) with his head and banged several together resulting in chips in two of them. Unbelievable- this was the main reason the first fixture was being replaced! Needless to say this installation was NOT a success! It was made very clear during the estimate that individuals with experience installing this type of fixture should be sent- this did not happened and now I again have a 5k fixture that is damaged and not installed correctly! I am completely disappointed and feel like the estimator sold me a bill of goods!"

"I contact Brad Brown Electric looking for pricing to run electric to an above ground pool. During the estimating process everything was explained and the price was very reasonable. When concluded the discussion about the pool we talked about my electrical panel which was over 25 years. I was given a price and the office called me with in 48 hours to see if I have any questions. We scheduled the replacement of the panel first and it was done 3 days later. The work done quickly and professionally. I highly recommend Brad Brown electric to anyone needing electrical work."

"The work was done exactly as described to me. All communications were prompt and timely manner. I would definitely hire them again"

"Frank Hammer was wonderful and quickly addressed my concerns and offered solutions, which he implemented professionally. He called me and I immediately felt comfortable with doing business with him. He gave an estimate, which detailed the work to be done, showed up early (which by military standards is on time) and completed the work within the timeframe he told me. He exceeded my expectations and deserves 10 stars."

"Company is way to expensive and the work was not mediocre. They use GoodLeap for financing, and they rip you off with that contract as well. Stay away!"

"AMF Electric LLC installed a service cable, panel and ground rod. The service techs were knowledgeable and respectful. I had no problems with their service."

"Dan was great! Respectful to my home. He covered my furniture and cleaned up when he was done. All the work that was done looks great! Most importantly an honest person. He send the breakdown of all the work and allowed me to pick what I wanted to do first. The price was fair, so I went with the entire breakdown."
