I had been a regular customer of Oakwood Electric for last few years. They have been doing the annual service on our whole house Generac generator. Since I considered myself a loyal Oakwood customer when I decided to have a 240 volt outlet installed for an electric vehicle I naturally thought I would use Oakwood. What a mistake that turned out to be.
At the time I made the appointment for this year's annual generator service I inquired about getting a proposal to install the new outlet. Rob, the owner, came out to do the proposal. As he was assessing what needed to be done I asked him a few questions about installation and if he had any advice. His response was that they only had experience with Tesla chargers so he couldn't offer any advice. I should have picked up on his apparent disinterest. Another cue was when I asked about whether we needed anything special for the new outlet to make sure the generator is not over whelmed if a vehicle is being charged and the generator comes on due to loss of utility power. Turns out, we do. Had I not asked about the need for a power management device it would not have come up. He didn't know we have a generator. Rather surprising since the person who made the appointment for the proposal was the same person who set up the appointment for this year's generator maintenance. Based on this and what was yet to occur, internal communication within Oakwood is questionable, at best.
A few days after Rob's visit I called Oakwood Electric to inquire about having some additional maintenance items recommended by Generac included as part of this year's generator maintenance. Really pretty standard things; changing a filter and a routine engine adjustment. The lady I spoke with was unfamiliar with the items and said she needed to find out. Turns out Rob was there and so she asked him. Apparently he didn't realize, or didn't care, that I could hear him because his response was that they wouldn't do either item because it was too hard. He said that he would prefer not to service the specific model Generac generator we have because the unit is not easy to work on. I couldn't ignore his last statement so I asked the lady to whom I was speaking about what was going on. Specifically, even though they had been servicing my generator for the last few years are they now refusing to do so? She said they would do the regular service and not the additional items I asked about.
The day of installation the tech did not show up at the agreed upon window of time. I called the office about 30 minutes after the scheduled time and was told he's on his way. A few minutes later Courtney from Oakwood Electric called me back to say the tech had an issue at home and he would be at my house in about an hour. So he went from being on his way to not being on his way but still home. Ok. Over an hour later still no tech. I called again, and once more Courtney told me that he was on his way. I asked if she had spoken with him and her response was that he was on his way. Ten minutes later she called me to let me know he still was at home and could we reschedule the installation. At this point I had, had it. Lied to twice by Oakwood's staff as well as I am not interested in having a tech who apparently doesn't have a sense of responsibility to keep his employer informed do work for me. I cancelled the installation.
I found another electrician to do the installation who not only is less expensive, he is charging 20% less, but also doing it right by getting a permit which, as I found out from other electricians, is required by the city in which I live. I also decided to have another approved Generac generator maintenance company handle the maintenance of our generator. The new local company selected to do maintenance is not only less expensive than Oakwood but also their standard service procedures include the additional maintenance items I asked about that Oakwood is not interested in doing.
Bottom line - from my experience if you want bad service and over pay for it, Oakwood is for you.

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.

Al is the best. We needed an electrician to move some junction boxes for an hvac install and Al came out and took care of it right away among other jobs around the house. He does great work and his rates are extremely fair. I strongly recommend him!!

Gino and team re-finished our basement and did a great job. They were VERY reasonably priced, professional, and the finished product was pretty good. Gino is pretty responsive via phone and his team was very courteous and polite at our house. They're not exclusively remodelers, so this project was a little out of their wheelhouse, but for the price we paid, they did an excellent job. I would hire them again.

Josh is a great electrician - and a nice guy! He promptly responded to our request, arrived right on time, and did an excellent job. All of this, and at a pleasingly affordable price. I'm extremely satisfied. If I need additional electrical work in the future, I'm definitely using him again.

Highly highly recommended! Fast, professional and affordable. This is the honest electrician you're looking for. Thank you for giving us our home back!
Lyons, IL 60534
Same day fix. Not trying to gouge people in need. They were honest, very reasonably priced, and gave good advice about some other electrical questions we had. Will definitely use again if I need an electrician. Oak Lawn, Palos, Worth, etc should be happy to have Bright Electric on standby!

Spoke to Gabriel and he was very fair in his quote Clc also accommodated our schedule and had Gilbert show up on the dot when he was scheduled for. Punctuality is very important and well as professionalism. Gilbert was very informative in his explanations about process procedure and how he was going to prep for install of the can lighting in our kitchen. Highly recommend asking for him for your electrical needs and plan to refer him to my circle as well as my future work.
2267 Hiram Dr Wheaton, IL 60189
Very satisfied! Called, got my appointment same day as he was willing to come in the evenings to accommodate my schedule. Electrician replaced my light fixture without charging any extra for extra parts and from the hourly rate he had quoted which was VERY reasonable. Overall, couldn't have worked out any better.

Fast, on time, honest service. We asked for a pre home inspection of our electrical panel, expecting news that we'd need to a good amount of cleaning up (it's from the 1970's) but Ted took his time to thoroughly examine, and confidently determined it's in great order, safe, etc. He said it was up to code and there was no reason to do anything to it. What a huge relief. He is putting it on letterhead for us, for a future home inspection for peace of mind. Very minimal charge for his service. I am highly recommending Kinetic Energy (and Ted!) - they were honest, amazing!!

Had an issue with two outlets fixed both at the agreed price and told me an issue about a 3rd without any extra cost. Quick and quality

Chris and his crew are professional, timely, and did an excellent job remodeling our family room. They converted my 1970's wood paneled family room which had a floor to ceiling Brady Bunch fireplace into a contemporary living space. I felt like Chris was a very honest contractor and made recommendations in my best interest. Also the crew that work on the job were very polite and hard working. Chris did a great job keeping in touch with me during the project. I will definitely use Hilman Construction again!
Chicago, IL
Terrible service, felt scammed the entire time. Tried to up charge me by hundreds of dollars. Took advantage of me not knowing electrical issues. Tried to charge me $650 for what second electrician I called told me was $120 worth of repairs. Beyond frustrating company to work with.
