Bright Electric Inc

I had the team at Bright Electric install a transfer switch in my home to enable portable battery backup devices to run critical circuits in the event of a power outage. This allows me to keep my family warm and safe when the grid is down. The team was prompt in responding, consultative as we talked through the solution, very professional, clean, and quick. I would not hesitate to use their services again in the future. Thank you Bright Electric!

Very good experience.  Our electrician installed a bathroom ceiling light with exhaust fan. He explained things very well to us.  The job was completed in a timely fashion.

I hired Elton/Bright Electric to install an outlet midway up a wall to accommodate a mounted TV, as well as putting together and installing 2 ceiling fans where none had previously existed.  Finally, his staff helped identify two outlet issues in my home that were overlooked by my home inspector.

The price was fair and the work was done well.  His staff also did a great job with the ceiling fans.  Further, when the switches I had gotten were incompatible, they went out to the hardware store for me, which really helped!!!  They were great.  They even fielded some of my dumb questions when I called after installation, and they were kind and helpful.

The only thing I wasn't thrilled with was that Elton's guys left some small parts (cut wire pieces) on the floor that my very young children could have gotten ahold of.  

I would definitely use them again, though - fair prices, solid work, totally competent.

I'm helping my aunt fix up her house and she needed to upgrade her electricity in her living room and kitchen.  She's had a lot of work done, so it was time to upgrade.

Elton at this company was great.  This review is a little late, but I want to give a shoutout anyway.  He was fairly priced, they showed up on time and communicated well.

Good job.  He was honest, etc.  All around recommended.  Great job!

As a Realtor and home owner, I know a call to Bright Electric for maintenance or a crisis, the problem will be resolved without conflict and successfully.

Great Company! Showed up on time, both wore masks the entire time. They did a beautiful job on the install and cleaned up so well afterward you wouldn't know they were ever there( except for the brand new ceiling fan)!

Great communication, flexible availability. Bright Electric was very responsive and fixed my small outdoor outlet problem quickly. Greatly appreciate the flexibility to work with my schedule.

I called Bright Electric to install a new pendant light in a tall hallway. They were able to perform work the same day even though their scaffolding wouldn't fit in the area. Their crew was very accommodating when I added the installation of six wall switches and did a very thorough job of cleanup. I would definitely hire this firm again.

We were getting a drain tile installed right before Christmas.  Elton did a great job.  We had a major electrical issue and came by same day.  He gave us a fair estimate. He and his team did a great job, we're very respectful, and were top notch!  We'd strongly recommend using them.  Thank you so much for your great job!!!

Couldn't be more pleased with the work done by Bright Electric. Elton and Ilir were polite and patiently discussed what they planned you do and why, answering all my questions and concerns. The work was done with an attention to detail and in a professional manner. The estimate was spot on and fairly priced. They accompanied me while the work was being inspected by the village and answered the inspectors questions to his satisfaction. It went as smoothly as possible. Highly recommended.

Amazing service. Elton went above and beyond to help me get my nest hello working with my old intercom system. Highly recommend them for any job!

I wish I could give Bright Electric 10 stars.  We've used them (and Elton) for 2 jobs now in the process of moving in to a new home and had 2 very different experiences, but both were very positive.

First, when selling our townhome, the buyer requested a necessary change to the wiring and breaker for our A/C.  Previous to this, we weren't aware there was an issue, but committed to fixing it.  I contacted Elton via e-mail and described the issue and sent pictures.  He gave me a run down of his costs and a general estimate range.  He was on time and worked quickly, while still explaining everything and ensuring that we had the documentation necessary for our buyer.  Then he managed to come in at the low point of the estimate.  It was such a good experience we wanted to use him for some electrical issues at our new house.

So when I spoke to Elton concerning our new home (detached single) I indicated that there were several outlets that needed to be changed to GFI and 3 lighting fixtures I wanted to replace, but also said I was considering additional outlets in the kitchen and wanted to get an indoor switch installed for one of the outlets for outside the house that had to be replaced.  Elton came out and not only gave us a reasonable estimate, but also walked me through all of the electrical aspects of my current house so I'd know more about it.  Since it was going to be a short job (4 hours or less) and a very reasonable price, we decided to let Elton do the work.

This job turned out to be way worse than projected, through no fault of the estimate.  Once the previous light fixtures (installed by the previous home owner) were removed, it was discovered there would have to be some major issues corrected to get the new lights installed up to code.   This took several hours and additional materials more than what was originally estimated.   Then when installing the GFI outlets (about 9 total, I think) one outlet turned out to be very tricky.  The lights look great, the switch is great, the outlets look great, and Elton stayed with us until 9:30 at night to get the job done.  There was some additional charge for the extra time and material, but it was nowhere near what the cost should have been, because Elton didn't want to charge us way over what was estimated.  We paid a little more than was asked because that was still a discount over what we could have been charged and because we felt bad.  We got a walk through of all the work done and how everything would work moving forward.  If we ever have additional electric work to be done, I will be contacting Bright Electric and would recommend them to anyone looking for an honest, hard-working electrical contractor.

These guys are the best. Called them for an electrical issue with my power outlets in the apartment. They were very professional and troubleshot my problems in no time. Their price was fair and I could say, lower than expected.

Based upon the reviews I read and needing an electrician ASAP, I called Bright Electric.  Elton was courteous and professional on the phone and made arrangements for one of his electricians to come to my house the same day. (The smoke detectors would not stop screeching Fire! Fire! Leave the building immediately.)  The electrician arrived early (!), explained what he had to do, and went about fixing the problem. He was a true professional who performed his job with precision, care, and knowledge.  There is no doubt that I now have an electrical company that I feel confident calling for any issue whatsoever.  Thank you, Bright Electric.

I found out about this company from one of my neighbors at the begging of summer. He had them doing some  home theater wiring and installation in his basement. We were invited when done to watch a movie and got their business cards. They were residential and commercial licensed electricians.  
Last month we needed to add some more lights at our business in Oak Park. I got two estimates from local services and gave Bright Eletric a call too.
Tony, the owner made time and came the next evening to look at what we needed, and was very professional, taking notes and checking everything from the fuse box to the switches and examine all the old fixtures.
He called me the next day with the details. I liked it because was different from other estimates, who suggested to add a whole new lines and switches and breaking the walls and making it seem so difficult!
His project was designed to use the existing switches and only use an extension pipe to make a connection to another box and it was it. Half the price of other estimates, with a simpler solution!
Their work was done on time promised, in compliance with village coding, and in budget. I would like to thank them for all the work done and keep referring to my friends.
