"It went well. Some of the wall to fixture wiring had been previously updated, but most of the wiring running from attic to basement needed to be replaced and grounded fixtures all throughout. It was a big task. Brad mapped it all out days before starting the job. One thing Brad prides himself on is customer service, and he carried that out through the entire project. There was change orders, as well as punch list items, and he took care of all of them promptly and efficiently. Brad was on the job site most of the time, and when he wasn't he was in constant communication with his two crew members (both very nice fellows)."

"Arrived as expected for appraising and estimate of job to be done. Received a line by line description of estimate again, as expected. Arrived promptly as scheduled and completed job within the estimated time frame. I truly believe I lucked out finding this company to perform the job. The Job was in Philadelphia at my sons home to-which I live over 400 miles away. John (owner) was extremely cooperative in setting up the work to be done. VERY VERY CREDIBLE! Did outstanding work. I know there are a lot of flybys out there and I nailed it with finding this company. I appreciate the job done would highly recommend this electrician for any electric need (big or small). I know who I am using for all my electric needs!!!!!"

"Brandon Electric did a fantastic job getting light to our shed with a switch, moving wires for us so they were both safe and clean looking. I plan on using them again and certainly recommend for any residential needs. They are very courteous and knowledgeable too."

"Frank Hammer and his team did a great job upgrading my electrical panel and installing a new floodlight. They worked clean, and fixed a few extra issues found along the way. Really solid and reliable work."

"We were selling our house and came to find out that basement electrical panel had never received its final inspection when it was finished.  As a result, we had to bring everything up to current codes, which included child-proof outlets.  There were at least 25 outlets.  They changed all of them out, and arranged to have a final electrical box inspection.  There were a couple of other minor issues they noticed and took care of while doing the work.  Also, 2 outlets had to be changed into GFCI outlets.  Mike and his crew were very friendly and professional.  They initially did an estimate, and then came back pretty soon after we requested the work.  I was very happy with them and felt I could trust them, and I felt the price was extremely reasonable for what they were doing.  I will definitely use them again.

"Shannon electric is hands down the best electric company around for the price. All switches and outlets were replaced properly. He also replaced my panel, and it is by far the neatest wiring I’ve seen. Definitely recommend, 10/10 service."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Philadelphia, PA

A whole-house surge protector blocks voltage spikes from lightning, grid issues, or even large appliances before they can fry your wiring or electronics. By diverting excess current at the main panel, it shields everything from your HVAC to your phone chargers and can extend the life of pricey appliances. Homeowners in storm-prone regions or with older panels see the biggest payoff, but any home that relies on sensitive electronics benefits.

Most whole-house surge protectors work for two to three years. Low-level spikes—too small to notice—hit your panel every day and slowly wear down the internal components. Once the unit’s capacity is depleted, it can’t prevent a larger surge, so plan to replace it on schedule (or sooner if a major lightning strike occurs) to keep your electronics and HVAC equipment safe.

A surge protector begins guarding your circuits the moment an electrician snaps it into place. Whether the spike originates from a nearby lightning strike or your fridge kicking on, the protector shunts the extra current to ground before it can reach outlets or hard-wired systems, such as your AC. That instant response is why a small upfront cost can save thousands in appliance repairs.

The unit mounts on or next to your main electrical panel. Type 1 models sit on the supply side, catching outside spikes before they hit the breaker. Type 2 devices snap inside the panel and tame surges that start within the house. Either way, placement at the panel lets the protector guard every circuit at once.

Plan to swap the device every three to five years—or sooner if you upgrade your panel, add high-demand appliances, or notice flickering lights and tripped breakers. Relying on a maze of power strips is another red flag that your current setup isn’t keeping up. Replacing the surge protector at these milestones keeps your electrical system on safe footing.
