Let me qualify this by saying i give five stars for anyone that 1. Responds to *all* my communications within 24 hrs 2. Is courteous and professional 3. Isn't some greedy asshole trying to gouge me. 4. Is licensed, insured 5. Knows what they're doing. You'd think this is a low bar but hitting all of these seems completely beyond the reach of 90% of philly contractors. In this particular case, I needed a new 100 amp service panel installed in the second unit of a duplex. I got three bids: Robotin Electric: $1200, Alba $1200 and Your Electric Now $1625. As Robotin bid first, I called them first. Never returned my call. Your Electric Now was overpriced even by the standard this town's electricians seem to enforce. He told me he was an alum of Gen3, a company that charges $900 for a three way switch, so that explains that. Alba scheduled quickly and kept to all their commitments. Ilir, the boss, is licensed, insured, knows what he's doing and is a nice, straightforward guy. read more

I highly recommend Alba Electric! They have done 2 projects at my house - on time, solid work, and friendly. 1. Replaced the electrical panel/ circuit breaker box. 2. Installed/ ran wiring for ceiling fixtures in a plaster ceiling and fixed a broken switch. I have an older house with old wiring and non-standard spaced beams - Illir and his team problem solved the best/ least invasive way to do the job (where another electrician had previously made excessive holes in the ceiling). They completed the job in one day and cleaned up afterward- they even vacuumed! Later in the evening Illir texted to check in to make sure I was happy with the job done. Very professional, fair prices, and pleasant to work with. read more

I cannot say enough about this company. Based on their reviews, I sent a message and Alba Electric answered the yelp inquiry within hours and came that same day to give an estimate. They came back later and cleaned out old, poor-performing cable and rewired the house, taking the cable outside and hiding it along windows, etc. Inside, they drilled through closets to hide the cable - cleaning as they went. The entire job was done in 2.5 hours, the place was clean, the estimate was the final cost, and everything is working perfectly. I will only call them for any future electrical issues. It is always such a relief when the yelp reviews are on point! read more

Found Alba on Yelp and after reading reviews decided to give them a try. Placed call 7:00 a.m. on a Saturday morning. Answered call promptly and was at my house within 40 minutes as stated. He identified the issue and gave recommendations for repairs. Since he had other scheduled appointments for today, we agreed that he would return later that afternoon to fix the issue. Returned on time and made the necessary repairs. He was prompt, professional and the prices were reasonable. He will also be returning in the next week or so to resolve other electrical issues. I recommend using Alba for your electrical needs. read more

Working with Ilir from Alba electric was an absolute pleasure. Ilir and his team are extremely professional and competent. They replaced our entire power panel, add a 220 for our dryer and another few more jboxs and outlets. Our house is very old, and mid remodel process we realized some outlets and jboxs were not working, Ilir and his team came right back and made sure to repair all items promptly. Prices and scheduling were well communicated throughout the project. We definitely recommend Alba electric to anyone looking to upgrade their electrical system or any electrical repairs. read more

First thing first... he answers the phone. Even more amazing, he tried to talk me through it before we decided I was in over my head. Made time on a Sunday to come and see what was wrong. Methodical in his trouble shooting and was able to isolate the problem to an exposed junction box (unlike the last electrician who said he'd have to tear out sheetrock and wanted $2000 to do the job). Quickly fixed it. Then, to top it all off, answered a question I had about installing the rest of my smart switches on a Sunday evening. Good guys, fair pricing and great work ethic. read more

As other reviewers said, they answer the phone. After a brief text exchange with photos of my problem, I was given what I felt was a fair price. They even lowered the quote when they got out to take a look. Work was scheduled and completed as promised. The team that came was polite, friendly, and efficient. The evening they left, there was a minor glitch, and they came right back to fix it. I would highly recommend this company for your electric needs (mine was a whole new electric service/box connected to the city service). read more

I contacted Alba Electric for a service panel upgrade and some wiring and re-wiring for a kitchen remodel after a previous contractor did some questionable work. Ilir got right back to me and came for a look the next day and gave me an estimate shortly thereafter. They were on the job about a week later. No Fuss No Muss Very Professional! What a relief to find them. I did do the repair work on the plaster myself so they were done quite fast in two days. I will definitely use them again for some further work coming up. read more

They cleaned up there mess also some of mine that was left from some of our renovations.. All around good company to do business with thank you Guys read more

Alba Electric installed a new electrical panel in our home and also made sure that our pool was safe to swim in. They did such an amazing job that we had them come back to wire our newly installed bathroom exhaust fans. Ilir, the owner, is highly organized, prompt, always answers the phone, and his pricing is fair. He has a great team of electricians who work for him. I can't say enough about this company. We will be calling Alba Electric for all of our electrical service needs. read more

Hi I bought this house 10 years ago and during those years so many unprofessional electric people worked on my house. I called Alba Electric and they came and fixed all problems that I had and changed the box and fuses. They installed the lights in my kitchen and they fixed all problems that were created during the years and problems that the other electric people did. I am really happy with Alba Electric. They did really a really fast, clean, and good job. read more

I'm a new homebuyer and I needed a lot of work done on my new place. Ilir was fast - he organized coming out to do an estimate, and the subsequent work in less than a week. He also (at my request) showed me a thing or two about what he was doing. I learned a bit, got a ton of work done, and I feel like I got a great price. I've already had him come out to fix another small issue and will continue to do so in the future. Thanks! read more

We used Alba Electric in at least 12 projects ( most of them Kitchen and Bathrooms ) in 2016. Communication was great, Service was Fast and at very good quality . What I love about their company is that they are small - I always dealt with Ilir the owner, and each time when we had a project they were very responsive. If a permit was needed I had the permit within 2-3 days , If I had questions 10 PM they answered my call. read more

Ilir was very easy to work with, price was reasonable and he very helpful by going above and beyond on service. He pulled the proper permit, did a rewire of my entire home and installed all lighting fixtures, bath fans, etc. Everything was perfect and passed L&I electrical inspection with no issues! Would definitely use him again for future electrical work read more

This company has excellent customer service. They responded to all my questions in less than an hour and a technician was at my home within a half an hour of my request, on a Saturday night. They were upfront with pricing which was reasonable and the technician was professional and worked quickly to resolve all my issues. I highly recommend Alba Electric! read more

The Alba electricians were super professional very understanding and did a very good job. I would recommend them to anyone of my friends and the price was good too. When I called them for my electrical problem they came out that same night and figured out what the problem was and came the very next morning and fixed it and for that I'm very grateful read more

Excellent service came the same day I request for help...super speedy job and now everything is working again...and the best part is he didn't kill my pockets very reasonable pricing...I highly recommend anyone that likes quality service and not having to wait in the appointment line to give him a try... P.S. Very satisfied customer read more

Alba came out at around 4 or 5 o'clock today... Sunday...St. Patrick's day and fixed our electrical problem! They even tightened up wires, rearranged the panel box and advised us about a grounding rod and gave us a free estimate! I would highly recommend them. Very respectful and professional, thanks guys. read more
