Linc Electric Inc

Linc Electric is the electrician Northeast Philadelphia calls when the power is already out. Across 287 Google ratings averaging 4.8, one thing repeats more than anything else: speed — someone answers, a truck shows up, and the lights come back on, often the same day. Working out of Castor Avenue, they are a residential-first emergency shop. The recent jobs homeowners describe are the ones that cannot wait: a second-floor outage diagnosed on a Sunday, power restored within an hour of a call, an electrical panel swapped out fast. The same two technicians keep coming up by name — Aldi and Eric — and the repeat business shows, with several reviewers noting it is the second or third time they have called. The history runs deep and steady: 118 reviews since 2021 across five sites, and the last six months alone brought 29 more, none of them negative. Beyond emergencies, recent customers describe generator installs — one EcoFlow job that had stumped three other electricians — plus ceiling and attic fans and lighting fixes. The recurring compliments are practical ones: pricing explained up front, and work areas left clean. Two things temper the picture. Despite the strong Google standing, the Better Business Bureau lists Linc Electric with an F grade — a sharp contradiction worth weighing rather than ignoring. And if you are buying more than a one-time repair, ask pointed questions about maintenance plans and how ongoing service, like annual generator checks, actually gets scheduled. For a homeowner facing a dead panel, a burning smell, or a weekend outage, Linc is squarely the kind of call-now shop that fits — fast, residential, and used to emergencies. Before booking anything bigger or a recurring plan, get the scope and the follow-up schedule in writing, and reconcile that BBB grade with what you are hearing elsewhere.
