Great service- was so happy they were able to come out same day. This is 2X Scott has been sent out to fix different things- he is the best!!
Excellent service. Patient & Knowledgeable. Thank you Harold & Nathan.
Scott and Darwin did an amazing job with my service upgrade and panel replacement. They communicated well and did fast and efficient work. Scott talked me through what needed to be done and answered any questions I had. Would highly recommend and work with them again in the future
Scott came promptly (within about a hour of our call) for a Sunday emergency check after our light switch sparked and we were concerned about the possibility of an electrical fire. He checked the wiring, explained everything clearly, and replaced the switch plus the one housed next to it. Also checked our fuse box…
Scott and Ivan were prompt and educational. They were patient and reviewed their work with me. They caught a few issues and addressed them. Finally, they are focused on high quality work. They addressed the electrical issues and also made sure to make the panels flush and even notably had the screws aligned. It’s clear they take pride in their work.
Harold and Nathan were extremely professional and do great work. They were quick and I would definitely use Pat Murphy again
Scott and Darwin were great-thorough, efficient and explained everything to me. Appreciate their great work to fix my issue fairly.
Joseph and Ivan were a great team. They were on time, clear in communication about process and costs, and worked quickly. They were super professional and courteous. I also appreciated that they were able to work in my condo building and figured out parking, working with the front desk concierge and the elevators…
I had Joseph and Neitan come to my house because our breaker was tripping each time my family and I used the dryer and our garbage disposal wasn't working either. They were both very polite, straight to the point, and respectable of my time and space. Joseph explained how they would diagnose the issue and then…
Prompt and excellent service. Both Scott and Ivan were good listeners and problem solvers. They are both good communicators as well as professional and pleasant. They divided tasks and worked together in a way that maximized their efficiency. I will definitely utilize Pat Murphy Electric again when the need arises.
Pat Murphy Electric is the best in Atlanta. Their rep Joseph did a thorough inspection of all the electrical outlets and switches that were connected to a fuse that kept flipping off. There were enough "little things" that he found and corrected that the problem is gone, and I am very grateful!
Scott and Carlos were amazing - thorough and took the time to make sure things were done correctly
Scott was excellent! Very knowledgable, thorough, and cleaned up afterwards. Highly recommend!
Joseph arrived at the designated time, having called 10 minutes in advance to confirm. He listened patiently to our concerns and took pains to ensure that he fully addressed our problem quickly and efficiently.
Scott did a great repair job during his site visit.
I originally found Pat's on Google Gemini. It was a great recommendation. Scott arrived on time and was well informed of my issues. It took a while to find where the problem was. I had misdirected him to begin with. Great job, reasonable price. Ask if Scott is available. 5 Stars.
Harold and Ivan did a great job reworking my oven.
Appreciate the expedient appointment. Joseph and Madison did a great job. Both very professional, polite, and knowledgeable. Will definitely request them for future services when needed. 👍🏻👍🏻
Joseph and Darwin did a great job! They were friendly, professional, and answered all my questions. I would recommend them to anyone who needs electrical work done.
Harold and Nathan did a great job. Professional. On time and fixed the issue quickly.
Scott and apprentice Darwin were on time and super professional for our project. We had three different potential projects and Scott talked me through the options and tried to save us money where possible. Great service, great professionalism. This will be my call for all future electrical work.
Joseph and Darwin are great! Very professional and knowledgeable of the work! I will continue using them for all my future electrical work!
Harold and Madison were awesome - they were able to quickly identify and fix a junction issue and provided additional recommendations.
Scott and Madison did a great job today!
Joseph from Pat Murphy Electric came out yesterday to install an outlet in my garage for my Tesla charger. He was on time, polite and professional. The work was done quickly and everything was handled with care. I would definitely recommend Joseph and Pat Murphy Electric to anyone needing electrical work done.
Scott and his helper were upfront about diagnostic review and pricing. They were able to find and fix the issue within price quoted and clearly explained what they were doing as the went along. He also identified opportunities to update service with quotes in a professional manner. Highly recommended.
Joseph and team did an excellent job, kept me well informed and performed the work in a timely manner
Highly recommend Pat Murphy Electric. Electrician Scott was excellent. He installed my ceiling light fixture quickly & efficiently. Also repaired several other electrical issues we were having in our home. Truly appreciate his professional work & service.
Scott and Neitan of Pat Murphy Electric Inc moved my chewed-through main service wire in my attic to my basement, and completely rebuilt the service to make it safe. They moved the breaker box from my stairwell to my basement. They installed three dedicated circuits and numerous smoke and CO/smoke detectors. They…
We have used Pat Murphy Electric several times now for various electrical needs in our home. Most recently, we had an outlet stop working. Carlos came out and thoroughly explained to us why the outlet stopped working and replaced it, along with a breaker that had failed. He was professional, amiable, courteous,…
Had Pat Murphy Electric come out to troubleshoot electrical issues with deck lighting. Harold and Ivan found the problem in no time. They were so professional and knowledgeable but most of all very friendly. They explained what they did and made sure we didn’t have further questions about what they did. Also made…
When u loose power in a holiday, it is never good. Had a minor incident knock out power in Memorial Day. Allan was able to show up in 90 minutes and start the process of recovering power safely. Really appreciated his communication and professionalism. Saved the day
Scott from Pat Murphy Electric spent a day at my home replacing bathroom fans and failed electrical outlets. He and his assistants provided excellent service and updated kitchen and basement circuits that a previous electrical contractor had taken shortcuts when installing during home remodeling. If you are looking…
Great experience with Scott resolving electrical issues in an entire room! Definitely worth the investment rather than a switch and socket of two.
I called Pat Murphy for help with basement lighting. Carlos was an excellent technician along with his trainee Harold. I really appreciated the way he explained what was going to be done before starting the work.
Scott Thompson was extremely helpful
Residential electrical work: Carlos and Maison were professional, friendly and got the job done right. I appreciated Carlos’ attention to detail and help fixing the issue that caused my home’s flood light to break. Commercial electrical work: I’ve worked with Daniel at our commercial property on a range of…
Scott from Pat Murphys Electric showed up in under an hour and did a highly professional job. Would recommend enthusiastically.
Scott explained everything very clearly (both the work and the cost) and I appreciated that he also provided a quote for a larger job to be done in the future. Both Scott and Mason were very knowledgeable and professional.
Scott & Noah did a great job.
Kevin and Noa came to fix a broken outlet and replace a light switch. They were efficient, professional, and helpful!
Great service, Scott was efficient and professional
Scott came out to my residence to fix some electrical issues. He provided a high level of service as he quickly diagnosed and fixed the problem. He was professional, knowledgeable, and personable. Even taking the time to explain the components and cause of the issue. If I ever have any electrical problems in the future they will be my first call
For a few GFCI outlet re-installations that were a bit messed up by a previous contractor we hired, we called Pat Murphy Electric. Jeremiah came out and provided great service -- quickly and competently fixing the problems, and explaining the resolution to us as he went.
Carlos was great. Courteous, conscientious, and timely. Would highly recommend him.
Very happy with the results and knowledge provided by the technician.
Scott was professional and prompt. They were able to fix my problem quickly and show me more ways to protect my system. Definitely recommend
Scott did a fantastic job - explained everything in detail. Very efficient.
Daniel was amazing - professional, can-do attitude, friendly, quick and tidy. We look forward to working with him again!
We had a very complex electrical set-up in our 50's home The previous owner had done much of the work himself, from building the home to providing power to to room additions, outdoor spaces, and two outbuildings, one of which had 3 sub-panels. My initial goal was to restore power safely to the main outbuilding.…
Very easy to get an appointment. Carlos was on time, very responsive to our needs and questions and very thorough. Very good experience!
The estimate was very reasonable and comparative to other companies but Pat Murphy electric was more easily available, very transparent and ended up being very diligent in their work. We were very pleased
Scott Thompson did a great job completing a bunch of electrical repairs we needed to make. He was knowledgeable, kind, attentive to detail, and easy to communicate with. His assistant Noah seemed to be helpful and competent as well. Thanks for getting everything fixed!
Daniel and Scott were both really nice guys and completed the job quickly and cleanly. Daniel explained everything very well and answered all my questions before any work took place. Both were very professional and knew what they were doing. Thank you both.
Outstanding, professional, and got the job done in a timely manner. Daniel D - was so thorough, professional, and knowledgeable to make sure the job was complete perfectly and that we understood exactly what he was doing. Outstanding!
I had a very nice punch list of repairs and they were on time . The work was perfect . I cant believe I waited so long to repair these problems .
Kevin Chacon did an excellent job.
Daniel identified our electrical issue quickly and replaced the broken outlet receptacles efficiently. He explained everything as well so I understood what was going on.
Friendly technicians but incredibly expensive, and they don't give you any pricing information upfront. You just find out at the end of the visit that you owe hundreds of dollars for a very simple outlet installation or, in a later case, an unresolved issue (which, in fairness, doesn't appear to be Pat Murphy's…
Carlos took care of a few issues in our home, including faulty outdoor sockets and installation of new recessed lighting in our basement. He was prompt, professional and was able to quickly identify our issues without incurring additional expense. We are very happy with the service he provided and would definitely recommend him. Thanks Carlos!
Kevin from Pat Murphy was great. Arrived on time (plus gave a heads up call) and got the job done quickly and professionally.
The fan in my living room would not turn off so I called Pat Murphy Electric and had them come out to change the fan wall switch. Gerald was on time and stayed in contact with me letting me know when he would arrive. He explained in detail everything he was doing and what he needed to do to get my fan running again…
I would give 100 stars but it only let me put 5. I have used many different service providers in all trades over the past 20+ years. Pat Murphy is excellent! One of the best! They stand by their work and provide a warranty. Everything they do is up to code and no shortcuts. Our house was built in 1925 and the…
Pat Murphy (and especially Carlos) were true professionals. He came on time, did quality work, cleaned his workspace, and made sure everything was done at top quality. I really enjoyed working with them and a very happy I ended up with Carlos. I have a new electrician and electrical contracting firm!
Very positive experience. Great customer service when we had a semi-emergency service request and for a more sizeable rewiring job. Patient and able to explain things well. Would certainly recommend to others!
What a pleasant experience. As soon as Trey came in I trusted what he told me and how he was going to address my issues. He kept me educated on why some of the issues were happening and what to check in the future. But he was efficient and diligent in getting my project done and enough so to ask them to come back…
Tre’Von Walker is the electrician who worked on our GFI switch that was damaged in lighting strike. He visited on April 18, 2022. He was professional, knowledgeable and polite and solved the issue.
Carlos was the most polite, extremely helpful and professional service service person we've ever had for anything!
Daniel Moody was great!
Carlos and Evan did an outstanding job restoring power to a room and a few outlets that lost power. They diagnosed the issue and made quick and quality repairs. They made sure to explain to me the issue and what I could do to prevent future issues. I'd highly recommend both and will be using them again for any future electrical issues I run into.
Carlos was fantastic!! He was very knowledgeable, professional and cared for our items like they were his. This is why I keep using Pat Murphy Electric, Inc. for all my electrical needs.
Gerald was very professional and performed quality work. He gave me two options with price break downs. Performed the work quickly and professionally. I would definitely use this company again.
The absolute best experience with an electrician ever. Professional, knowledgeable and experienced. I had some cameras installed, along with some light fixture repair and switch installation. Carlos was outstanding. His willingness to share his knowledge was invaluable in helping us make our decisions. Evan was…
I was frantic when I woke up on a work day and saw that all the power in my living room went out. The outlet attached to the switch that turns the power on sizzled and crackled. I thought for sure I was going to start a fire so I turned off the breaker for the room and unplugged everything. I then proceeded to call…
Carlos and Evan did a great job. On time, friendly and efficient. I have used that company for years and have always been satisfied with the service.
Daniel Moody was a great help! The Pat Murphy company scheduled service quickly and met my time frame/schedule. Daniel came out and walked through my various items I needed help with, he told me clearly how much each item would cost before the work started. And then he did great work and finished quickly. I’ll…
Professional and very knowledgeable. Explained our options and helped us make the best decisions.
Carlos was fantastic, we couldn't be happier with the attention to detail. Carlos kept us informed step-by-step and cared enough to look beyond the task at hand to ensure a safe home. Will absolutely recommend Carlos and the Pat Murphy team.
Daniel moody was very professional. He explained what he was going to do, how much it would cost and fixed the problem. He was very respectful and answered all my questions, too.
Carlos was friendly quick and professional
Daniel Moody arrived promptly, assessed the situation that needed repair and repaired all outlets and switches thoroughly. He also was very communicative about what he was doing and gave me different options based on my needs regarding the outlets. I have used Pat Murphy Electric in the past, recommended them, and will use them in the future.
Carlos explained very well what was the issue and how he was going to fix it. I'm satisfied with the result and will certainly use the same service again!
Marco arrived on time and was very knowledgeable and accommodating. I learned more about what could be done and what I needed for my old house. I’m very happy to have the work done and very pleased with Marco. September 2021: For a second service call I asked for Carlos (whom I misnamed as Marco in original…
Carlos did great work in our new kitchen. One thing I truly appreciated was that Carlos made sure to explain everything to me so that I could understand what he was doing and why he was doing it.
Carlos and Evan were on time, courteous, friendly and when the problem grew more complicated after repairs they came back and fixed it between clients at no charge. Top notch!!
I lost all power to my upstairs 3rd floor bedrooms. Carlos came out at 9pm last night and continued his search for the reason for the bizarre outage. He left around 12:30pm after an exhaustive search. Came back the next morning at 10am and found the cause for the massive outage and repaired it. Carlos is the…
Gerald was prompt, on time and did a great job. Appreciated his skill and professionalism. Thank you!
Carlos and team met and exceeded my expectations at every turn. He explained the “why” behind everything. Could not have asked for a more comprehensive approach. Will be using in the future for all work.
Carlos was friendly, very knowledgeable, as well as efficient. He listened to what happened, offered suggestions, and helped us decide a short term fix to get us up and running normally, as well as an alternative plan for changing out our under cabinet lighting to something that will use less energy and produce less…
Carlos was amazing. He was punctual, communicative, friendly, professional, patient to explain about the repairs he was performing. Extremely knowledgeable! Gave helpful suggestions regarding other energy saving products and installations. We would definitely ask for him again for our electrical needs. Thank you Carlos!
The office called in the mid-morning and asked if I wanted to bump my appointment up. I was able to and Carlos showed up promptly 30 minutes later. He was able to show me the problem with my old plastic support box and recommended a metal one to prevent the fixture from falling again. Fast, professional, and on…
Recently had them come in to assist adding electrical for a networking closet and a few other quality of life things around the house. Carlos and his apprentice did an amazing job with everything. Very professional, would recommend to anyone in need of electrical work in this area. Request Carlos! He is the man
Always professional and responsive. Customer care is essential and respected.
I was extremely satisfied with the Pat Murphy Electric service installing a new line / outlets outside and repairing existing outlets. Carlos who gave me the estimate and did the work is outstanding. He discusses not only in layman's terms the work but takes the time to understand what you want and if there may be…
Carlos was a great technician! He was extremely professional and personable to our needs. He has tremendous knowledge and exceptional talent with electrical detail. Carlos should be commended on his professionalism and customer satisfaction. He is not only a great tech but a super nice guy to represent his industry.…
Carlos was awesome! Fast, polite, very friendly, and great at explaining the problems he was addressing.
Carlos was amazing and I will recommend him and Pat Murphy for all my electrical needs!
Half my outlets in my condo weren't working. Pat Murphy sent two guys, Kevin Chacon and Evan Kihlstadius, who were on time, friendly, and professional, and had my issue resolved WAY faster than I expected. Great experience.
Carlos & Evan showed up early, and messaged me before arriving. They stayed late and made every effort to keep their work area clean. Both were exceptionally easy to work with, well-mannered, and expedient. I would hire Pat Murphy Electric again and again.
Marcus was great! He assessed the problems with our outlets, and was able to quickly repair them. He evaluated the power issues in our shed and made recommendations to deal with them. He was very professional and easy to work with!
