Best Electricians in United States

Moved outside wiring, installed recessed - canned lighting, increased amperage and installed new box. Fast, good and at a great price. Dion Jones is the best electrician in the Northern Suburbs. No one can beat his quality and price point.

Frank Perlongo did a lot of electric work in my old Berwyn bungalow.  He's very reasonable and does top quality work. He's a perfectionist!  I will always call him for any job, big or small. I highly recommend him.  He had to re-do my ceiling fans and other electric that was done incorrectly. He really knows his stuff!

he tried to help me over the phone (free)!when we still couldnt figure out the problem he offered to come out the same day. his prices are very reasonable.

Malek is reliable and honest.  Very thorough and they never recommend unnecessary work.  We have used at three different homes now.  Highly recommended.

I'm really not understanding why my experience was a complete 180 from other reviewers, but calling it a nightmare would be a supreme understatement.

I needed a dedicated outlet for the sump pump in the crawlspace because you cannot use an extension cord for it in my town. I called Vlad, believing I had called him before and he never got back to me (this was my error). He was very polite and came immediately to look at the work needing to be done. So far, so good! He quoted me a very fair price and said he could do the job the same day - even better! I made sure I said that the sump pump needed to be plugged directly into an outlet. He said he needed to go to the hardware store to pick up what he needed, after 2 hours I called him to make sure he was coming back. He replied yes, he would be here shortly.

And this is where my nightmare began.

A couple hours later, I notice that it had gotten very warm in my house. AC is usually set at 72 and when I checked the thermostat, it read 80. I politely asked Vlad if he did something to the AC, and his reply was too many wires and went back to what he was doing. That really wasn't an answer but I went back in the house and turned some fans on, sure that he would fix whatever he did to cause the AC not to work.

As the hours progressed (he started work at about noon). the AC still wasn't working and the WiFi thermostat was turning off and on and re-setting every few minutes. He was messing with the breaker box for a REALLY long time and would NOT answer my questions but rather just shrugging his shoulders and ignoring me. You have no idea how frustrating that was.

At about 6:30 (still no AC, mind you), he comes into the house and asks me for an extension cord. I ask him what for. He replies that he needs one to plug the sump pump into the outlet. Excuse me, what??? The whole reason I needed a contractor was because I needed the sump pump to plug directly into an outlet! He tells me that he thought it was better to put the outlet close to the crawlspace door and that's why he needed an extension cord, because the outlet was too far away from the sump pump cord. I tell him that he did not do the job correctly and that I needed the outlet close enough to the sump pump so that the cord could be plugged directly into it AND he still needed to address my AC not working.

He insisted that he did nothing to the AC wiring and that it must be an issue with the AC or the thermostat. Both are fairly new and it was highly unlikely that it was not his fault. He insisted that I needed to call an AC person to come look at what the problem could be and repeatedly insisted that he did nothing wrong.

At 7:30 he comes back into the house and simply says, Money, give me money. My husband came home from work at this point and told Vlad that he must have done something wrong, crossed a wire, something, because there was no way this was not his fault. We wrote him a check for less than what we agreed on, because come on! He got a bit ugly at that but finally left.

We had no choice but to call the AC company that services our furnace/AC. That was a $155 service call. While we were waiting for them to show, I went to do a load of laundry only to find that there was no power running to the washer and dryer. My husband went to the breaker box and found that the washer and dryer were now connected to the furnace breaker, so YES ABSOLUTELY he caused the problem because the washer and dryer were previously on their own (correct) breaker.

So, the AC company could not help because it was not an HVAC issue, and I then had to find an emergency electrical company that had a $195 service call fee. No way in hell did I trust Vlad to come back and fix what he messed up. Although the electrical company came Saturday morning, the repair was so extensive (and required an HVAC tech along), the repair could not be done until Monday. We spent 72 hours without AC.

Attached you will see the invoices, showing that yes, it was very much Vlad's fault. We have had to pay over $1300 to fix what he did.

Installing a new outlet on a dedicated circuit breaker is basically Electrician 101.

In addition to this review, I will be filing a complaint with the BBB and seriously considering pursuing legal action - something I have never done in all my many years of being a consumer/customer.

My new home was in need of a ton of new lighting and electrical work. When Jonathan came out to give his estimate, I knew he was the right guy for the job for many reasons. He was communicative, thorough, and very knowledgeable. I had a pretty clear vision for what I wanted, so he listened and made sure he understood every detail to get the project done right. There were also a few areas where I was uncertain and he provided me with some really awesome options that ended turning out even better than I could have imagined. Jonathan is a real pro and he will definitely be my go-to for any electrical needs.

Our Generac whole house generator failed to come on during a multi-hour power outage on a Sunday morning. The Generac support line recommended AL Electric as the closest dealer. Andrey picked up the phone after two rings, came out within an hour, and had our generator running within 2 minutes. (The generator had an error code that required dealer service.) His charge for an emergency visit on a Sunday morning was very reasonable and he will be coming back later in the week to do full maintenance on the unit. As the Generac support person said, you need to have a dealer do maintenance on it yearly so AL Electric will be our regular service. Andrey is also very friendly and knowledgeable.

I work for a lighting store and we've recommended ABS electric numerous times. We always hear the best complements about them plus they're very knowledgeable. There are few companies we trust when dealing with certain projects and I never hesitate to let clients know about them.

Tom and his team just completed work at our house in Mount Prospect installing 6 new LED can lights and a new ceiling fan in our living room and two new LED can lights in our upstairs hallway. Every aspect of our experience with InTown was top notch. I requested an estimate via their website and got an almost immediate response offering to schedule a convenient date/time for Tom to come by and scope out the work we were hoping to have done. A couple days prior to our scheduled estimate I had to call to reschedule due to COVID concerns and Dawn was extremely understanding and happy to reschedule for a later date. Once we had our estimate rescheduled, Tom dropped by in the evening and patiently walked through the various aspects of the projects I had in mind. He was friendly, polite, wore a mask and booties without me needing to ask, and took the time to answer all of my questions. Within a couple of hours, he emailed me a detailed line-by-line estimate consistent with the work we had discussed.

When we decided to go with InTown for the work, Dawn made it super easy to schedule a date and I received a text messages a day before the scheduled work to confirm the date and start time.

Tom and his team arrived promptly at 8am and took good care to lay down drop cloths and talk us through their game plan to be sure they would be locating the new can lights and fans in the right locations. The project ended up throwing them quite a few curve balls (thick plaster walls, conduit/wires not where they were expecting), but Tom and his team used their experience to find a solution that got us to the desired result with minimal wall damage/need for wall patching.

Tom and his team did a great job taking the necessary time to clean up once completing the project. And before leaving, Tom said to be sure to contact him if there was any aspect of the project that was not meeting our expectations.

Overall, we're very pleased with InTown's professionalism, organization, communication, and work. I would, without hesitation, recommend InTown to anyone looking to have electric work done.

THE BEST!    

We can't say enough good things about David Patterson.  He does outstanding work, is incredibly responsive and helpful, and is a pleasure to work with.

David integrated a complete landscape lighting/electrical system into our new patio/landscaping project. We had no experience with this type/scale of project and David patiently explained every step of the process, answered all of our questions, and was always brimming with great ideas.  He is fabulously knowledgeable, his guidance was spot on, and we are extremely pleased with how everything turned out.

In addition to being so helpful, David was the quintessential professional.  He was responsive, reliable, flexible, efficient, clean, and friendly.  

David also went over and above our expectations in many different ways; like emailing us pictures during construction to document the underground wiring; like making lawn trenches and wires disappear; like leaving the place cleaner than he found it; like re-planting a 100 lb. boxwood that needed moving; like making sure he was present every time the city inspector stopped by; like spending hours in the hot sun chiseling through cement to re-install conduit and wiring that was damaged by a different contractor.  

David has also installed several interior switches and outlets in our home, as well as spent a great deal of time with us investigating and discussing potential future projects.  No matter how small or big the job, David always brings his signature blend of helpful attitude and creative suggestions ensuring the best possible solution for your home, and an enjoyable experience for you.

We highly recommend David for any type of electrical project.

I called Sal on monday at 6 PM. He came at 6:30 PM. Our bathroom's power stopped working from an outage. When he came to our house, he was very friendly and intelligent. He looked at the outlets and circuits for 15 minutes and he quickly found out what the problem was. He also gave us some tips on what to do when we experience this issue again. Even though I wasn't that knowledgeable about the subject, he gave detailed descriptions on what was wrong with the outlet and how he was going to fix it. I will definitely contact him in the future regarding electric related problems.

They are really professional. I need to change the electrical panel and my friend recommended Mike. He came to my house and inspected and told me there is no need to upgrade to the more expensive 200 A panel since there are not many high power equipment. Later to convince the village that there is no need to upgrade, he came again to take photos. The quote he gave me is also very reasonable. And during the day when his staff came to work, Mike also came later to inspect and answer any questions I had. So I really appreciate their service. Both Mike and his staff are really good. The only concern would be that they don't have many people, and might have a lot of work load, so it might take some time to arrange the work date.

Jaime has been great during our whole house remodel. He had to install an additional panel because we needed more amps due to the number of outlets and appliances being added.  He identified everything that was needed and implemented it.  He also put can lights in multiple rooms, in-cabinet and under-cabinet lightning in the kitchen and Butler's pantry, installed 7 ceiling fans, and a light lift in the foyer among other things.  He has been back multiple times to install lights and do other work and every time he has been great to work with.  He is extremely accommodating and patient whenever I ask him to change something around that my ADD doesn't like.  He sets a great example for Jorge his apprentice (who is also a high quality individual) and for  passing the knowledge on to the next generation of electricians.  I highly recommend Shock Tech 2 - you won't be disappointed!

I love Don. He will give you an honest price and do an honest job. In my book, it doesn't get better than that.

Needed 3 dimmer switches installed - $30 total.  Didn't charge by hour (most electricians I called wanted $125/hour.  They just cut me a fair deal and even picked up the parts I needed for lower price better than Home Depot was charging.  These guys were great, highly recommend.  Great Value.

Vlad came promptly and was very knowledgeable and soon we had our electrical problem solved. I highly recommend him as part of this company   Pricing was reasonable and he worked efficiently

Brian was extremely polite, honest, and very efficient. He fixed the electrical problem I had going on without breaking a sweat! Will definitely be reaching out to him again in the future if any services are needed!! Thanks again Brian!

Could not say enough great things about Milan at MD Advanced Electric. Hired him to hardwire my pool pump. I kept getting delays in my pool install, and Milan was super flexible. The day he came out to do the work, it was well over 100 degrees with the heat index. Milan got all the work done quickly, and even took the time to show me that all the safety aspects of the install were working.

Would absolutely hire again!

When other handymen refused to work on my job, Rob stepped up with his crew to get it done.  Alex was great when he showed up and got things done quickly.

I would recommend them and use them again.
