"We had an excellent experience with Awesome Electrical Services updating our historic home from outdated knob-and-tube wiring to a modern electrical system. Brian was incredibly communicative, taking the time to discuss the project, timeline, and costs while patiently answering all of our questions. Patty was wonderful, making scheduling, paperwork, and communication easy and efficient. Their entire crew was knowledgeable, professional, courteous, and respectful. JR and Nick were exceptional foremen who went above and beyond to keep the project on track and ensure every detail was addressed. We'd also like to thank Mike, Julian, Trey, and Chris for their professionalism and craftsmanship. Rewiring an older home is a major undertaking, but they made the process smooth and stress-free. We highly recommend Awesome Electrical Services, especially for owners of older homes."

"Definitely would recommend. Rich and his assistant did a great job at a great price. They fixed multiple electrical issues on our 1940's home that we had just purchased. Some items were just updates like changing a dryer plug from a 3 prong to a 4 prong but others were safety issues such as changing an outdoor outlet to a GFI. We found Rich to be straight forward and easy to work with. We will not hesitate to call him for future electrical needs."

"Great experience. Owners and techs were friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Had a pseudo-emergency with my electrical panel. They contacted me, set up a remote estimate for the following morning, and were able to start and complete the work that same day for a not-absurd fee. Highly recommended."

"D J was the electrician who performed this GFCI Outlet replacement and he was top shelve. He was very knowledgeable of the work, kind, considerate and explained everything he was doing. He also took the time to check to see if ceiling fans could be installed into my home which is a manufactured home with very low ceilings. I will not hesitate to use Baby Bird Electric for all of my electrical needs."

"We hired Price Light Electric to investigate why a few of our outlets had stopped working. Our house is wired in a strange way from when it was built, but Paul's guys were able to track down the issue. They were very nice and punctual. They took their time finding the problem and coming up with the solution. Much to our surprise, since it was a small job, they were able to complete the work that day. I was able to text Paul to schedule which was very convenient, and he got back to me very quickly! We had an incredible experience with Price Light Electric, and would absolutely recommend them to anyone who is in need of an electrician."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

In Pittsburgh, be wary of electrical professionals who offer vague quotes without itemized details, especially for older homes with unique wiring challenges. Watch for contractors who avoid discussing necessary permits or seem unfamiliar with local code updates common in Pittsburgh’s historic neighborhoods. High-pressure sales tactics, requests for large upfront payments, or reluctance to address grounding and knob-and-tube issues are also warning signs.

Helpful?

In Pittsburgh, unexpected costs often arise when outdated knob-and-tube wiring or insufficient grounding is discovered during upgrades. Repairing plaster or brick walls after rewiring is common in older homes. You may also face extra expenses if moisture issues in basements affect electrical work, or if additional smoke detectors are required to meet code. Weekend or emergency work can further increase project complexity.

Helpful?

Upgrading electrical systems in Pittsburgh, especially in older or historic homes, can make your property more attractive to buyers seeking safety and modern features. Improvements like updated panels, GFCI outlets, and smart home upgrades are highly valued in the local market. These enhancements not only boost resale appeal but also help your home meet current safety standards expected by today’s buyers.

Helpful?

Homeowners in Pittsburgh often underestimate the complexity of electrical projects in older homes, leading to skipped permits or hiring professionals unfamiliar with local codes. Overlooking the need for extra outlets, especially in basements or outdoor areas, is common. Failing to document agreements, ignoring historic district guidelines, or not planning for potential asbestos or lead paint can result in costly delays and safety issues.

Helpful?

Before starting electrical work in Pittsburgh, confirm your contractor is familiar with local permit requirements and the quirks of older homes. Schedule inspections early, as demand can be high during spring and summer. If your property is in a historic district, check for additional approval steps. Also, coordinate with your utility for any service upgrades and assess for hidden issues like outdated wiring or lead paint.
