Larry did extensive electrical upgrades to our home including ceiling fans, overhead lighting, rewiring, smart home switches, an attic fan, and more. He was prompt, efficient, pleasant, and respectful of our home. His work is of the highest quality! read more

Punctual and knowledgeable. Answered all of my questions and addressed any concerns that I had. Prices fair, price quoted was exactly what was paid at end of job, no "unexpected surprises." Very clean, added drop cloths and swept when job was completed. Highly recommended read more

Larry Leithead came out to my house, "fixed" a few things and within the week I was calling him back. He undid what he did originally then had the unmitigated gall to say, "Technically I should be charging you for a house call [but I'm not going to]." He could not have been serious! Technically he should have given me my money back since he charged me for something that he didn't do correctly in the first place and had to return to undo it. Currently I have a light that every third time I turn it on, it pops and I need to reset it. Technically I should have my money back for that too! Either this guy does not know what he's doing or he's lazy. Either way, stay away from him. read more

The best electricians around. Knowledgeable, efficient and punctual. Would definitely recommend and use again!

The Short Review: If you need electrical work done, and you want someone who will do a thorough, detail-oriented job, look no further and hire Larry. He has done 2 substantial jobs for me in as many years, and he is absolutely excellent. He is responsive, honest, detail-oriented, punctual, thoughtful, easy to deal with, fairly priced, and efficient. When he worked on our jobs, we would leave in the morning, come home at night, and it was like an electrical magician had been in our house. There would be no mess whatsoever, but tasks from our list would appear perfectly completed. I was very impressed with his work, and I'm fussy about house projects. I really wish all of the contractors I've dealt with were like Larry. I know anytime I need any electrical work in the future, I'll be going back to him. The Long Review: In August of 2014 my wife and I purchased a 104 year-old house in Narberth, PA, which we knew needed knob and tube wiring remediation, and a new electrical panel (the original one was a 'split-bus' panel). There were also a bunch of other convenience things we wanted done, like lights in closets and stairwells, ceiling fans in bedrooms, 200 amp service, recessed lighting, etc. After speaking to a couple of electricians who were underwhelming, I was beginning to regret our decision to buy an older house. Luckily, a friend of mine recommended Larry, who did a bunch of rewiring on a 70+ year-old house in Wynnewood, PA. I contacted Larry through his website, and he responded quickly, and was out to give us an estimate within the week. During the estimate, he walked all through our house, patiently answered all of my questions, and took his time figuring out the solutions to how he would solve our wiring issues with the minimal impact to the house. At the end of our first meeting, I knew Larry was the guy for the job. I could just tell he knew his stuff. Due to budgetary constraints, we decided to prioritize our work into 2 jobs, which we had Larry complete a little over a year apart. We started the first job in November 2014, which was the larger of two jobs. We had a new panel put in, with an upgrade to 200 amp service, several convenience lights added, receptacles and a ceiling fan installed, a new bathroom exhaust fan installed, coax and speaker wiring re-routed, and had an additional light switch added to our kitchen. Several of the circuits in our house still were knob and tube, which Larry upgraded to new wiring. The second job was completed in January 2016, which included installation of recessed lights, more knob and tube remediation, convenience wiring of coax cables, wiring of an extra outlet in our kitchen, and tidying of legacy wiring in our basement. Both jobs were completed cleanly and on time, with excellent attention to detail and craftsmanship. We couldn't be happier with the work Larry and his guys did for so many reasons, but probably the most important reason, which is reflected throughout his work, is that he cares personally about the job details and his customer, and would never do anything below an excellent standard, which is worth every penny to me. Thank you, Larry! read more

Purchase a house that needed electrical work prior to moving in. I contacted Accent Electric and talked to Larry about the work that I needed to be done in the house. Larry was very personable and professional. He explained in detail everything that would be done. He even offered to options and answered all my questions and made suggestions that saved me time and money. I gave him the go ahead to do the work, once the permit was pulled, Larry began the work and updated me on the progress. Larry finished well before move-in day. He took great care and cleaned up the areas where he worked. We were very please with the work Larry did. Even the electrical inspector from the county commented that the electrical work performed was neatest work he has ever seen. Will use him again in the future. read more

We experienced a complete power failure at our condo on Sunday, Jan. 24th, the day after the "Jonas" blizzard. We noticed that none of our neighbors had lost power, only our unit so we knew we had a serious issue. We tried flipping switches in our electrical/fuse box but to no avail. Our condo is "all" electric so that meant no heat, hot water, lights, and we could not cook. So we left home to go to a relatives house. On Monday we called our home warranty company and the earliest we could get an electrician to our place was Tuesday. The guy came looked in our electrical box and said we experienced a power surge and our electrical box was "fried" and the entire box would need to be replaced and rewired. You could actually see the melted parts. Our condo is 35 years old and this was the original box installed at time of construction. Unfortunately, we had to wait until Wednesday to find out that replacing it would not be covered under our home warranty contract and the electrician said replacing it would cost between $2,500 & $3,000. Outrageous, to say the least. On Thursday I went to Angie's List website and noticed that one of the special deals was for the installation of a new electrical panel "with surge protection" for $800 through Accent Electric Ltd.. OMG, I thought. That was just what we needed. I called Angie's List, explained our situation and they, in turn, contacted Larry at Accent Electric, they provided me his cell phone, I called him and he was very understanding of our situation. He asked if he could swing by our unit to check the box out which he did and said he could do the work the very next day on Friday. He also told us the 1st electrician's diagnosis was wrong!! We did not experience a major power surge after all. Larry said power surges would have caused other units in our condo courtyard to be affected as well. The problem was burnt out lugs and wires due to the age of the panel and the 200 voltage line over the years. He and his co-worker showed up at 8:00 am and we now have a beautiful new electrical box with surge projection installed, meeting all current code requirements. Therefore adding major value to our condo. The best part is that I called our insurance company regarding our homeowners policy that we have on our condo insurance and minus our deductible, the remainder of the overall expense to us will be reimbursed. Thank you Larry at Accent Electric located in Willow Grove, Pa. for your quick, professional service. You really saved us a lot of grief. read more

Larry is a fantastic electrician, worker, and all around pleasant person to have complete a job. We had him install 12 recessed lights and 2 overhead fan light boxes. His pricing was very competitive. The job was completed in one day, the holes needed to be opened in the wall and ceiling were minimal, and the place was very clean at the end of the job. The work exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend Larry. read more

Larry Leithead/Accent Electric has been our electrician for the past 20 years. We had our first contact with him, through our contractor, when we were having our kitchen remodeled. We were extremely impressed with how he worked with us. He spent time discussing lighting options that we never would have considered, which turned out beautifully! Larry has always been on site/hands-on with all of our on-going renovations which have taken place in our home. Every job has been perfect from start to finish. Larry is meticulous in his work and always leaves our home neat and clean. I would highly recommend Larry/Accent Electric for any of your electrical needs. You will not be disappointed. read more
