Phil's crew at Philips Electric has been rewiring homes, upgrading panels, and swapping fixtures around Arlington for 22 years, according to its Better Business Bureau file, which also carries an A+ grade. The business runs out of 6 Mt Vernon St and turns up under a couple of near-identical names — Philips Electric and Philip's Electric, LLC — across different directories, but the address and phone tie them together as the same shop. Across 38 reviews collected between 2022 and 2025 spanning four separate sources, the pattern holds steady: people call for panel and breaker upgrades, whole-room rewiring, recessed lighting, and smaller jobs — an added outlet, an exhaust fan — in between. The tone across that stretch runs overwhelmingly positive, and outside mirrors agree in direction if not in exact numbers: Google puts it at 4.9 from 45 ratings, Birdeye shows 4.9 from 51, and Porch has it at 4.8 from 163 — those counts don't reconcile cleanly with each other, so treat the precise review tally as approximate. One thing worth knowing before calling: this reads as a business built on repeat, word-of-mouth calls to Phil directly rather than a large accredited outfit — the BBB profile is not marked as an accredited business, even with the A+ grade on file. For rewiring, panel work, or routine fixture and outlet jobs around Arlington, the history here is long and the sentiment consistent across every source that tracks it. Worth confirming current pricing and scheduling directly with Phil before booking, since neither is detailed in any of these profiles.

After another local company’s electrician didn’t show up two days in a row, I called and spoke with Phillip. He had an electrician (Alex) to our home within a very short time. Alex very capably diagnosed the issue as a blown breaker. He did not have that type on his vehicle and had to get the part, with this time being billed. It was explained that electricians cannot carry every part for every home/business. While the cost seemed higher than we expected, I’m not an expert at electrical rates. Alex was highly skilled, the issue was repaired quickly, and we soon had hot water. The owner, Philip was very courteous and understanding. He went out of his way to take care of my daughters and I. I highly recommend this company.

Frank and Alex came to fix a few electrical issues in our home today. We were blown away at how quickly they fixed everything, very kind, knowledgeable and hard working. They were able to fix a few additional issues all within one hour. I felt like the pricing was very reasonable and the work was exceptional, we will certainly call them again for any issues in the future!

Excellent communication with Philip. It was a small job to install a light, but we are appreciative of the help and efficiency.

I recently hired Phil to complete several electrical upgrades in my home, including replacing old outlets, installing new ones, adding bathroom exhaust fans, and upgrading the main circuit breaker. I couldn’t be happier with the results!
