Phil is simply excellent at what he does. Always answers calls, even on a Sunday. He was always on time. Very professional and good natured. We felt very comfortable with Phil and trusted his suggestions . He helped with fixtures and placement design. Phil installed about 50 landscape light fixtures, two lampposts and a basketball court post with three lamps attached. He worked very well coordinating with other contractors that were also working on my home.
Description of Work: My entire outdoor electric and lighting was destroyed in hurricane Sandy. Phil replaced and rewired the property. He helped me pick new fixtures and made many helpful suggestions.

Phil Candano is a fully licensed electrician, knowledgeable and easy to deal with. Phil called before arriving early. He accommodated our need for extra work and freely helped with a review of conflicting inspector reports. I was impressed with his care about the final look of my kitchen. He ground my tiles so that the GFI's fit neatly. He siliconed 2 pieces that were loose, and cleaned up the work areas thoroughly. Phil understood my need for a detailed invoice and provided one electronically (very convenient).
Description of Work: Based on an inspection of our home which we are selling, Phil installed 5 GFI outlets, removed an old attic fan and inspected the main electrical panel.

I called Phil because my fan not working. I called several electrician's who basically gave me a cost to come out with no ideas of the overall cost of the project. You don't get an estimate with an electrician. Phil also has a charge to come out. However, he advised me to contact the maker of the fan and see if I could get a replacement BEFORE he came out. I was able to get the fan and he was quickly able to fix the problem in 1 visit with one charge. I appreciated his helpfulness. He also did a great job.
Description of Work: fixed my ceiling fan that is about 20 feet up

IT WENT FANTASTIC. I finally found an electrician I like. He returned all phone calls promptly. I provided estimates that were accurate when the bill was delivered. He perform two small items (for him) that were free of charge to me but meant a lot to me. He was professional at all times. He was quick and efficient. He cleaned up after he was done. He arrived on time!
Description of Work: He installed a ceiling fan that involved rewiring of the room to allow the overhead fan to work from a wall switch. He recessed outlets that were sticking out. He brought up to code some wiring that I had done improperly.

The entire experience was fantastic! Phil was always exactly on time and we trusted him from day 1. He was very accommodating to our changing needs throughout the project. Phil worked quickly, accurately, and very clean. As he finished in one area he made sure it was as clean as before he started before he moved on to the next area. Phil made sure to keep us informed at every step of the project. He made sure to show me the old service cables after he cut them and explained just how close to a major issue we really were. It was so bad that before he made the cut he waited for the neighbors to go inside so he could concentrate, this shows you how professional he is. He also closely inspected other areas that were not even on our radar and made suggestions, not once did it feel like he was selling us on anything and his explanations were easily understood so we could make our own determination. We have already recommended Phil to several of our friends and family and he will be our only electrician going forward. This entire project took 3.5 days to complete, and not once was it inconvenient to have Phil there working, great experience! Once again we only contracted with Phil for the LABOR, he did not provide any parts or supplies.
Description of Work: Service upgrade from 100amp to 200amp, replaced main panel, replaced sub panel in the detached garage, removed old unsafe wiring and lighting in attic and replaced with 3 all new, installed two fans in completely new locations, installed 3 fans in existing locations, installed a total of 12 completely new recessed lights (included ripping up attic floor boards), installed 2 new hanging light fixtures in existing locations, discovered and fixed a dangerous outlet in basement. This was all LABOR ONLY!!

Working with Phil’s Electric was a pleasure from the start of renovations in our home. Phil is very professional and friendly. His company is accommodating, punctual, reliable, and goes above the customary needs of a client! What you expect is what you get! We have had a lot of work done in our home and highly recommend Phil’s Electrical.
Description of Work: Phil’s Electrical installed LED lights (and a dimmer to operate for...) inside, above, and below built in custom wall units in our living room. In the same day, they were able to install a new outlet and cable jack for a TV in the gym, but not only that, they mounted the TV and had it connected. Phil’s Electrical also installed lights outside of our home, and a dimmer for them.

Phil came over and looked at the work that I wanted to get done. He gave me a very good idea and save me money. He explain to me that the way that I wanted him to run my electrical line was going to cost me a lot more. I called him back and asked him can he start the following day because I was getting my work out equipment . He came over the next day and got it done. I was very happy and I will used him again and I told my friends and family about him and they are going to call .

It went extremely well. I called Phil because I needed a new light fixture put in upstairs. We spoke over the phone, so I knew exactly what he would do. No guesswork.Phil was on time, very professional, and got right to the task at hand. I felt he was very fair with the price. He was neat, he cleaned up, he was courteous and he paid attention to detail. I would definitely call on Phil again.
Description of Work: This was a small job. I needed a light fixture put into the ceiling upstairs. I also needed some old wires on the opposite wall capped and covered as they were not being used. I called Phil and we set up a date for him to come. He did have to change the date but he called me right away and we re-scheduled. When he came, he was on time, very friendly, very organized, and very professional. He covered the old wires and put a plate on top of the hole.

We called Phil in the Am with our issue and 5 hours later Phil was at out house and fixed it in no time. We will be using Phil moving forward for all our electrical work.
Description of Work: We needed our ceiling fan rewired
Overall experience has been very good. I was introduced to Phil via another contractor who was working on my home in May of last year. The original contractor was doing "cosmetic-type" home improvements on our house that we just purchased. Phil and I continued to work together as projects come up.
Description of Work: Phil has worked in my home over the past year. He has installed new lighting fixtures both indoor and outdoor as well as many other "one-off" electrical lighting projects (new installation of sconces, ceiling fans, and recessed lighting, timers, dimmers, electrical outlets, and ambiance cabinet lighting, and extensive outdoor Christmas lighting). I am always very pleased with the work. Phil's quality of work is excellent. He is dependable and reliable to come on time and complete the work on schedule. My husband also has Phil work at his business in Philadelphia. He is versatile for both residential and commercial jobs. This is my first ever review on Angi'es List. I thought it was worth the time because good contractors are very hard to find. I highly recommend Phil for electrical work. Both my husband and I will continue to work with him for on-going needs.

Highly Recommended! I was having Central A/C installed at the same time, and Phil was very accommodating and professional in working side-by-side with the HVAC team. I have a Master Electrician in the family (too far away to hire) who looked at the work he'd performed. He was impressed with the quality and gave his seal of approval. I'd hire Phil again in a heartbeat if another project comes along.

Phil has done a number of jobs for us both large and small. The first job, when we moved into our ninety year old home about six years ago, was installing recessed lighting fixtures in the living room ceiling. I don't know how he did it but the job was done quickly and efficiently. Since then Phil has done a number of jobs. We know that we can trust him for both quality of the work and reasonable price.
Description of Work: Phil has done electrical work for us since 2007 when we moved to our home. We have an old house and it has needed electrical work occasionally since we have lived here. Phil has done both large and small jobs for us and has always done excellent work. Phil is a professional, no nonsense kind of guy who is reliable and his prices are fair.

Everything went well, and he fully demonstrated the operation of the device.
Description of Work: Phil arrived on time as scheduled. He is quite congenial and makes a good impression. He installed a transfer switch (I supplied) to my gas furnace allowing it to operate off of a portable generator in an emergency. The installation was neat and professional and his price was exactly as quoted on the phone. I might mention that his price was 80% less than another highly advertised electrical contractor who is also on Angie's List.

He did the electrical installation for a gas propane fireplace, also a new circuit generator panel, and installed a new dimmer switch. He also prepared and delivered the permit inspection papers with a smile on his face. This guy is fabulous. He is extremely neat and knowledgeable. He calls me ahead of time if he is running even 15 minutes late. He uses excellent time management skills and he is polite, friendly and personable. I will definitely use him again.

His price was competitive, he was on-time and worked efficiently, and completed the job ahead of schedule. The job site was left cleaner than when he'd arrived and he was extremely courteous and respectful of our property. I'm a pretty picky person in general and usually do most of my own work because I like things a certain way... the right way... Phil's work was certainly up to my standards, and I would not hesitate to contract with him again in the future.
Description of Work: We were upgrading to central air conditioning and needed to also upgrade our electrical service from 100 amp to 200 amp to accomodate the additional load. I also wanted a 100 amp sub panel installed in my garage. We had a tight schedule and Phil was able to accomodate a quick turn around. From first contact, to quote, to completed job was less than two weeks.

I had a washer and dryer to be placed in a closet in a new home. I had been without a washer for a number of weeks and anxious for some clean clothes. When they came to install the washer/dryer, the delivery person told me the outlet was incorrect had to be taken off and re-wired. I called Phil's Electric and he was able to come out that same day to fix the outlet so I could have the washer installed the next day. He was prompt and professional.
Description of Work: Outlet replaced.
