General Info
My father apprenticed to his father-and I apprenticed to mine, repeating an invaluable tradition of child labor and a great place to learn a trade. Beginning at the age of 13, I worked with my dad every weekend and summer vacation in homes throughout Philadelphia repairing and rewiring all levels of residential electrical systems. Studying electrical engineering and earning a degree in architecture has given me a solid advantage in solving the myriad of residential electrical problems.

Big Fan of Generation 3...

After reading the many reviews -- the vast majority of which were glowing -- of this outstanding phila-based business, i gotta say that the few negative postings strike me as little more than the petty rants of Gen-3's competitors who find it easier to smear a business than it is to earn a solid reputation on the merits of their own good work.



I'm a small-business owner myself and I know the damage that can be done by unscrupulous posters. All I can say is, your pathetic attempt to discredit this business is transparent! And to anyone looking for an honest, hardworking and competitive electrical contractor, look no further than Generation 3.

Keep up the great work guys.

Excellent Service

I have recently relocated to the Philadelphia area and have utilized GEN 3 on numerous occasions to perform electrical services and installations. They are professional, courteous and expeditious. Gen 3 performed the work for my business as quoted in a timely manner. I would highly recommend them for all of your electrical needs. Two thumbs up!

Excellent Service

I am a new business owner who has all the associated problems with opening a new business. The service I received from Generation 3 Electric was superb. Bottom line, I worry about three things: time of work needed to be done, quality of work, and cost. On all three fronts, Generation 3 Electric delivered.

Solid, professional work

We had these guys rewire our 2nd and 3rd floors to replace some old knob and tube, install smoke detectors for the house and about 12 high hats and fan for our bedroom. Very professional, knowledgeable and friendly guys that did our work. We got a few estimates and they weren't the cheapest but definitely gave us the impression that the job would be done right quickly, safely and to code, so we went with them. Worth the extra few bucks for the piece of mind. Everything turned out super, we're really happy. We will be having them back when we re-do our kitchen, for sure.



I just have to say I find the few bad reviews on here to be a bit suspicious. A few of them are identical or virtually identical, kind of seems like some other electrician is trashing other local electricians. Also, a lot of the remaining "bad" reviews complain about the high pricing of replacing a light switch or outlet. Come on people think about it, it doesn't matter if a switch/outlet costs $3.00, electricians still have to pay employees, put gas in the truck, spend business time driving to the location, just to replace a simple outlet/switch. What do you expect???

Shhh... Baby sleeping!

Michael from G3E did an excellent job installing the ceiling fan in my daughter's room first so she could take her nap. Very professional and considerate.

Great quality and professionalism!

Had these folks over to the apartment to install a new ceiling fan. They arrived on time, were very clean-cut, professional and efficient. They even took away all the trash and packaging and cleaned up the little bit of plaster dust left behind. No doubt a very experienced and well-trained crew. I would recommend them without hesitation.

very timely in his response to my call. Showed up when expected, got job done for a fair price. G3 is willing to do not just the big jobs but also smaller jobs that most contractors are not willing to do.

Generation 3 Electric are by far the BEST electricians. I work for a real estate management company and we use this them exclusively. No job too big or small and they are prompt, curteous, professional and very reasonably priced. I recommend them to all my family, friends and clients. Definitely at the top of the list.

Outstanding Service

I would highly recommend Bill and his team at Generation 3 Electric, not only for their electrical expertise but for their commitment to the now-lost art of customer service. Working at a real estate agency, I can tell you that one of an agent's most valuable commodities are reliable contractors --- plumbers, painters, carpenters, electricians and so forth. Recently one of our agents sent out an e-mail to the other agents in the office for an electrician they could recommend to work on a property for one of her clients. Multiple agents (myself included) e-mailed her back, independently, and all with the same recommendation: Generation 3!! That tells you all you need to know about the quality of their service.

These Guys Deliver!

Had some recent work done by the crew from G-3 in a professional and timely manner. The work I had done was some out door security lighting along my walkway/driveway as well as installation of a ceiling fan.

They also came out and did some miscellaneous work such as fixing my doorbell and rewiring some outlets.

All work was excellently done and feel no job is too small or too big for Generation 3 Electric. I wouldn't think twice about referring them to somebody.

Finally, most important to me, they are so easy to get a hold of on the phone as well as scheduling an appt and knowing these guys will show up!

Generation 3 Electric has done several jobs for our art gallery, including setting up the main lighting arrangement. They have in all instances been professional in their work, leave the job clean, are innovative in problem-solving and on the whole are responsive to our needs as clients.

I would be pleased to engage Generation 3 for any future work.
