FAQs
Are your electricians in Philadelphia licensed and insured?
Yes. Every technician on our Philadelphia team holds a current Pennsylvania Journeyman or Master Electrician license and carries full liability and workers-compensation insurance. Copies of both our state licenses and insurance certificates are available upon request, giving you peace of mind that all work is performed to NEC, state, and city code requirements.
What types of electrical services do you specialize in?
Our technical expertise covers residential, commercial, and light-industrial projects, including panel upgrades, complete rewiring, troubleshooting & repair, energy-efficient LED retrofits, data/low-voltage cabling, backup generator installation, and EV charger commissioning. We also provide power quality analysis and infrared thermography to detect hidden faults before they become costly outages.
How quickly can you respond to an electrical emergency in Philadelphia?
We maintain a 24/7 on-call rotation with a guaranteed 60-minute arrival window for customers inside Philadelphia city limits. Our service vans are GPS-dispatched from strategic locations throughout Center City, Northwest, and South Philly, ensuring rapid response to everything from power loss and sparking panels to flood-related short circuits.
Do you handle electrical permits and inspections for projects?
Absolutely. Philadelphia’s Department of Licenses & Inspections (L&I) requires electrical work exceeding $500 or involving new circuitry to be permitted. Our project managers prepare the permit application, submit stamped drawings when needed, coordinate plan review, and schedule final inspections. We remain on-site during inspection to address any questions, ensuring your project passes the first time.
Can you install and configure EV charging stations at my home or business?
Yes. We are certified installers for ChargePoint, Tesla, and Enel X systems. Services include load calculation, dedicated circuit installation, panel upgrades if necessary, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth setup for smart monitoring, and PECO rebate paperwork. We also offer annual maintenance plans and can integrate Level 2 chargers into existing building management systems for commercial clients.
What measures do you take to ensure jobsite safety and code compliance?
Safety is embedded in our workflow. All employees complete OSHA 30 training, and weekly toolbox talks focus on lockout/tagout, ladder safety, and arc-flash mitigation. We follow NEC 2023, Philadelphia L&I amendments, and NFPA 70E standards. Each project receives a written Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) and is supervised by an on-site foreman who performs daily safety audits and documents compliance using our mobile field-reporting app.
