Electrical Repair in Philadelphia

Licensed Electricians for Rowhomes, Condos & Small Businesses

Electrical issues can throw off daily routines and raise real safety concerns, especially in older Philadelphia rowhomes and busy commercial properties. At Jim & Sons Electric, we’ve been serving properties across the city since 2014 with repair services built around local buildings. Whether it’s a breaker issue, faulty outlets, or outdated wiring, our licensed and insured electricians deliver reliable solutions.

Philadelphia’s housing stock skews old. A significant share of the city’s rowhomes and multi-unit properties were built before 1940, which means electrical repair here often means dealing with knob-and-tube wiring, ungrounded circuits, and panels that were never sized for modern loads. We work in these buildings every week and know how to trace problems that aren’t always obvious.

Common Electrical Repairs We Handle

From a single dead outlet to a panel that keeps tripping, we address a wide range of electrical repair needs across Philadelphia properties:

• Tripping circuits and blown fuses: Overloaded panels, faulty wiring, and aging systems are the usual culprits. We find the source, not just the symptom.
• Flickering or dimming lights: Often traces to a loose connection or an overloaded circuit rather than the fixture itself.
• Dead outlets and GFCI failures: Among the most common calls we get from Philadelphia property owners, especially in homes with older wiring.
• Sparking or warm outlets and switches: These indicate poor connections or excessive current and shouldn’t be left alone.
• Breaker panel repairs: From minor fixes to full replacements, including panels undersized for modern electrical demands.
• Knob-and-tube wiring repairs and assessments in historic Philadelphia homes.
• Lighting and ceiling fan repairs, including rewiring and balancing.
• Renovation wiring: Helping additions and remodels meet current electrical code.

Aluminum wiring, found in many Philadelphia-area homes built in the 1960s and 1970s, requires specific repair techniques to keep connections safe. If your home has aluminum wiring and you’re experiencing problems, let us know when you call. If your issue isn’t on this list, we’ve likely seen it. We troubleshoot carefully to address both the immediate problem and any underlying concerns.
