Be careful...they filter out bad reviews on many review sites including google reviews. Notice the big gap between review timelines.

The good: they were friendly and professional, and I'm not questioning their quality.

Price and service...needs improvement. Unfortunately due to them no-showing on my first appointment (which I made 1.5 weeks in advance), I had limited options because I was running out of time to get the job done. They no-showed and didn't call me to tell me they weren't coming. I had to call them. A week later, I was able to get a time that worked for them and for us. They came out, and gave an outrageous quote of over $1500 to do a few small jobs that in my opinion shouldn't take more than a couple of hours. I had them do the bare minimum of what I absolutely needed done and it was $325 for them; took the electrician 30 minutes to do the work.

Since they refuse to tell customer their prices, here's the prices I was offered... hope this helps other customers. To install a light on the ceiling that was already wired, $411. The retail store was only going to charge me $199 to do the same thing. Installing a dimmer in a switch that was already wired and I provided the dimmer...$155. That's maybe a 15 minute job. I was told by others to ask the electrician to do all the small jobs at once because it will cost less. In terms of Pat Murphy...they didn't seem to understand that concept. Oh, and they don't replace dry wall.. I'm on my own to do that myself. I will not be calling them again. TOO EXPENSIVE!

The other work that I didn't ask them to do, I saved $1000 and did it myself in less than 3 hours and I'm no pro. I watched YouTube and did the job following simple instructions.

Additionally, they didn't put down any mats to prevent dust and dirt from collecting on my floor. We had to vacuum up the mess after.

Compare to Best Buy Geek Squad who came do to a TV mount for me; they put down mats and took away all the packing material, offered to help me with some basic diagnostics for my wifi network for no extra charge and showed up on my original appointment date.

Pat Murphy's Electrical
I moved to GA about six weeks ago from RI and still don't know my house well. This morning the electrician was here. I asked him to check a socket that had been working and stopped working a few days ago. He said he could ""trouble shoot"" the problem and that it would, at the least, cost $285. Not wanting to fool around with electricity, I agreed. In under two minutes, he discovered a switch by the front door, connected to the socket and voila! We had flicked the switches on Halloween to turn on the front light for Trick or Treaters not realizing one of the switches worked said outlet. So, if you are looking for an electrician who charges $140 per minute, I highly recommend Pat Murphy's!

They came to start job. They of course gave me a quote that same day. I ordered them out of my house.

To install a ceiling fan and replace the support box over $500.

To replace a semi flush light fixture in foyer $500.

I've been a designer in Atlanta for over 20 years and have never seen prices like these in my life.

My technicians were great. I believe his name was Jerrold or Jerome. ( it's been a week since the job was done/apologies for not remember the names correctly). They were friendly, professional, helpful, on time. They went the extra mile to help, advised and explain the job and other ""situations"" around my home. They clean after they were done. I have to mention that I call early in the morning to find an appointment. I was lucky to schedule one for the same day around noon. The Job was done by 3:00 pm. I recommend this business.

AWESONE professionalism, workmanship, and friendliness!! Marcus is a gem and I would recommend Pat Murphy to everyone I know. I had two chandeliers and one ceiling fan to install, and another ceiling fan to ""fix"" after a handyman botched the job. Marcus cane over and took care of EVERYTHING to perfection! My house looks 100 times better with the new lighting. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!

Once again we had a great experience with this company. Had an issue with the AC which the AC company said was a breaker issue. Stan came out and did a through check of everything, including a cursory check of the AC connections. He was informative and patient, explaining exactly why it wasn't an electrical issue. Even so he still made sure the electrical breakers and box were safe and working.
I greatly appreciate this company and their techs. This is our third time using them and we still have no regrets. Just stellar service.
Side note for Stan: great guess on the real issue. The AC guy didn't attach the wires and the grounding blew the compressor! Maybe you guys should do AC repair as well!

I called the 24 hour emergency service and the guy could not have been less interested. Kept upping the price on the phone to discourage me from using him. I finally said ""I guess I will call another electrician who wants the job"" and he said ""sounds good."" I don't know about their skill but the customer service was less than impressive.

Pat Murphy Electric stood behind their work 100% and then some. After a first visit, my problems weren't resolved. They were more upset than I was and sent a troubleshooter to find out why their work didn't correct my issues. After several hours of testing, tracing wires, checking circuits, etc., he reached his conclusion and made the necessary repairs. I couldn't be happier dealing with a company that cares this much about making things right.

Honest, hard working and reliable. I have used them many times and while they are not cheap, they know what they are doing with electricity, you want integrity.

Dishonest Electrician! We had our power go out at our rental property and needed an electrician to give an honest assessment of what was needed. As we were not at the property at the time of the outage, we had very little information as to what happened, just an account from our tenants. We called around and finally contracted Pat Murphy and Daniel Devoid was the electrician that came out. He then proceeded to tell me that the work would take over $5000 to complete and couldn't really produce much information as to what was wrong, only some babbling about the insulation around the wire being cracked. I paid the $54 service fee to be lied to! We called another electrician and he said no damage had even been done to the property. For whatever reason, the GA Power folks thought we had a faulty ground wire - turns out the Comcast installer used a green wire to rig up the Comcast install, and GA Power thought it was something else. An honest electrician would have pointed that out. A dishonest electrician, who gets paid on commission, will try and rake you over the coals. I am very disappointed that we made the mistake in calling Pat Murphy out to our property. Fortunately we only are out the service fee, don't make our mistake!
