Miri came here within an hour of me calling,and installed a new sensor flood light system for my garage within a half an hour. He was very polite and cleaned up after himself. I would highly recommend this company to anybody in the area.

I threw a circuit breaker causing me to lose my microwave, stove and refrigerator. I could not get the breaker to reset. I called for emergency service. Jurgen on the line told me how to reset the breaker. Everything now works fine. Highly recommend Golden Electrics. Thank you Jurgen, you are absolutely wonderful! You saved my refrigerated food. Highly recommend Golden Electrical Services.

This is the only electrician I've ever had that didn't charge me for coming out! The issue turned out to be just a tripped breaker. They fixed it and showed me what they did. They were very courteous and helpful. I will definitely contact them again if I have electrical issues.

Requested an outdoor 240v receptacle installation. Jurgen and his team are superb - they are respectful and considerate of the house, and the work was precise and clean. They also answered all of my elementary questions, which is super helpful for a non-electrician such as myself. We’ll keep Golden Electric Service on speed dial for us, friends, and family. Highly recommend!

I called for an electrical emergency at my business on a weekend and getting an emergency appointment was quick and easy. The 2 technicians who arrived were professional and friendly and were able to fix the problem in under 2 minutes. I expected to be charged a premium for a Sunday call, but instead they said there was zero charge for the call since it was a quick and easy fix for them. Glad I found this company and will be using their services for all my future electric work.

Philadelphia homes hold a unique character, many with wiring that dates back decades, along with city quirks like PECO power flickers or breaker trips during a game-day blackout when the Eagles are playing. We get it. You need an electrician who knows these challenges inside and out. That’s us. From Old City to Fishtown, our team at Golden Electrical Service has been helping local homeowners handle everything from panel upgrades to whole-home rewiring and EV charger installs. We’re here to keep your home safe, bright, and running smoothly.

Frequent Electrical Issues In Philadelphia Homes

Philadelphia homes, especially the ones that have been around for a while, tend to show their age in the electrical department. We see the same problems throughout the city, and most of them start out small before turning into real headaches. Here are the usual issues we help fix:

• Breakers tripping when multiple appliances run at once
• Outlets that feel loose, spark, or stop working
• Exterior lights cutting out during cold or rainy weather
• Lights flickering because of old wiring or neighborhood power drops
• Panels struggling to keep up with modern electrical needs

If any of these sound familiar, we can figure out the cause and take care of it safely.

Why Choose A Licensed Residential Electrician In Philadelphia

Philadelphia has its own set of electrical rules, especially with all the older homes and tight rowhouse layouts around the city. Hiring a licensed residential electrician makes sure everything is done safely and up to code, so you don’t run into problems during inspections or future home sales. Here’s what you get when you choose a licensed pro:

• Work that meets Philadelphia electrical codes
• Proper permits handled the right way
• Safe repairs and installs that avoid fire and shock risks
• No headaches during inspections, refinances, or home sales
• Protection from the risks of DIY work or unlicensed contractors

When the job is done by someone trained and licensed, you can trust that your home is safe and everything passes the city’s standards.

Residential Electrical Services We Commonly Handle In Philadelphia

We cover routine and complex work for Philly homes. Below are the services we perform most often, with short notes on how local housing affects each job.

Inspection, Troubleshooting, And Diagnostics

What we do: Full-home inspections, circuit tracing, load testing, and resolving intermittent faults.

Older rowhomesoften have shared neutrals or overloaded circuits. We use camera and tracer tools to find hidden issues without tearing out walls.

Lighting, Fixtures, And Ceiling Fan Installation

What we do: Replace fixtures, add dimmers, retrofit LED, and install ceiling fans.

Basements and attics in Philly homes sometimes lack proper boxes or support: we reinforce mounts and bring everything to code.

Panel Upgrades, Circuit Breakers, And Service Calls

What we do: Panel replacements, subpanels, breaker swaps, and main service upgrades to meet modern loads.

Many older homes have 100A panels that can’t handle EV chargers or modern HVAC. We size upgrades to accommodate present and future needs.

Outlets, GFCIs, AFCIs, And Home Rewiring

What we do: Install GFCIs in kitchens and baths, add AFCI protection, and perform whole-home rewires where needed.

Kitchens packed with modern appliances and basements used as home offices make updated outlet protection essential.

Electrical Safety Upgrades And Carbon Monoxide/Smoke Integration

What we do: Interconnected smoke and CO detector wiring, surge protection, and grounding improvements.

Philadelphia winters mean more heating appliance use. Hence, we integrate safety systems so you’re covered on cold nights.
