Best Electricians in United States
Excellent electricians! Mike and Jeff really know their stuff. They show up on time, provide an accurate estimate and do great work. Highly recommend & I will use them again.

First time reviewer here. We recently had Arnold Electric Services come to look at a few things at our condo. We're very novice to the electrical & home ownership work and Derek Hilgenberg, our tech, plus Mary in the office were great! Strong communicators both in setting up and coming to the appointment, but also explaining everything so we could understand it! Derek put us at ease early on with his well-detailed and thoughtful explanations and immense electrical knowledge. Not sure we would have been able to confidently make our decisions without his help. If you're a beginner looking for someone to trust who can help you solve and repair the electrical issues in your home or condo, I'd highly suggest Derek and Arnold Electric!

We had a really great experience working with Eligio and Laura! I posted about our impossible back door that had swelled and shifted over the years. He was very quick to respond, gave a very fair flat rate, was flexible with our time constraints and showed up promptly next day to fix it! We've had two people not show up to give us an estimate so I was relieved when they arrived! They looked over the problem, explained what they could do to fix it, then worked quickly to correct the problem! They even went above and beyond to realign hardware for no additional charge! The door opens and closes SO smoothly which it's never done since we bought! I will definitely keep their number and use them again in the future! It was an absolute pleasure working with them!

These guys are great. I needed a pretty simple job done that several other companies tried to inflate to something huge, but they understood exactly what needed to be done and were prompt, neat, and polite. They communicate exactly what they're going to do and answer any questions without making you feel dumb for asking. And, of course, they do good work!

Excellent service. Excellent communication. They worked with my schedule instead of forcing me to work with theirs. Very friendly and accommodating. I would use them again

Fast and courteous service! I've had a couple of calls out for electrical service in my unit after a serious roof leak. I've been impressed with the level of service and diligence at finding the root cause of the electrical issues.

Had a GFCI trip during the night for no apparent reason, nothing running at the time.
Called to request that it be checked out. Showed up within 20 minutes, did a thorough evaluation and very reassuring.
Will definitely add to my address book for future use.

I found Mark back in 2007. I called 10 electricians to come do some work at my 100 year old electrical nightmare of a house in Wheaton. He was the only one that wasn't scared off by the spaghetti factory of wiring that has plagued the house over the years. Little by little we have been slowly correcting and upgrading the house. I also use him for my house as well as my other rental property in Glen Ellyn too. Honest and easy to work with.

I used Lincoln Home Services to replace a ceiling fan and track lighting in a unit I own and have rented out and had a great experience. Because I was not at the unit Eugene did a really great job of taking pics to show me what was wrong and keeping me up to date on what the charges would be. He was also very specific on what would be most helpful to purchase as the replacements (i.e. getting a fan with a remote as well as a fan that was not flush on the ceiling) and even picked up a few things at electrical supply when I had trouble finding stuff online. He was great, I am very happy with the work and the overall experience.

Dr. & Mrs. Joseph & Diana Pulvirenti writes: I have had the distinct pleasure of having Pure Voltage to upgrade & rewire our home. The team is very professional, knowledgeable and can manage any situation that may come up. I would HIGHLY recommend this company for your electrical needs. Very lucky to have them working on our home.

We hired Brian to complete a punch list of electrical items. The written contract that was agreed upon was for around $3800. The work was supposed to be completed around October 15th per the contract. It didn't get done til February 12th. That's FOUR months late.
Now let's talk about money. The final bill ended up being $13,500.00. That's not a typo. Thirteen thousand five hundred dollars. We were shocked when we received the bill. We asked him what happened to the contract. He said there were other issues that had to be corrected and the contract says any other issues are billed at $90/ hour. Fair enough, but the first time he told us about the other issues is when the final invoice was rendered. We never even had a chance to authorize or approve these additional issues to be corrected.
This guy pretty much ripped a page out of our checkbook and wrote himself a blank check. DO NOT let this happen to you. Never sign an open ended contract with this contractor or any other contractor, otherwise, you will be the one to get shocked at the end.

If a zero was possible, that is what I would give this contractor. I hired him to install under cabinet lights. He came out with an obviously untrained apprentice who did all of the work while he sat and barked out orders -- screaming at him much of the time. At one point the apprentice was lost and did not know what to do. Rather than helping him, he responded -- figure it out idiot and sat there staring at him. Eventually, I started helping the apprentice myself. He then billed me over a $1000. Shortly after I received the bill, he called demanding payment. I explained that I felt I was overbilled. But, I agreed to pay him $700 that night if he would consider it payment in full. He agreed, but has continued sending me invoices for allegedly past due amounts and has even filed a mechanics lien on my house. Do not use this bully.

I agree with the previous review. Don't be wary of this guy. Just don't do business with him. He also asked us for 60% in advance. OK, I wasn't born yesterday. Nobody asks for 60% in advance. I asked him why it was so high. He said he had to buy supplies. We were installing lighting that we purchased. So what are we talking about - some electrical boxes and some wire?
He was supposed to be at our house at 10am. He called at 9:45 and said that he had some calls that delayed him and that he'd be about 2 hours late. He showed up at 12:30. Then he said that the lights (that I purchased from a reputable lighting company) were no good and that he couldn't install them. I went out to Home Depot and purchased 3 lights for the front closet. He didn't even try to put those in. He just left and said to call him when I had lights for the other closets. Why didn't he even try to put the other light in?
I went out that night and purchased 3 other lights from the lighting company we had previously been to and called Dino to let him know that we had new lighting. We set up an appointment for 1pm on Friday. Dino texted me on Thursday night to confirm that we were still on for Friday. I told him that we were still on.
At 11:26 Dino texted me that he had an emergency panel upgrade and that he would be 2 hours late. 2 hours late seems to be standard for him. Now I am not one of those people who carry my phone with me everywhere I go so I was unable to respond immediately to Dino. By the time I responded to him, he said that he had already made other plans and that he couldn't be sitting around waiting for my reply. Oh, sitting around like I had done for 2 days waiting for him to show up?
He offered to come to the house at 8am the next day (Saturday). Although I was extremely leery at this point, I told him that he could come to the house and finish the job. I told him that I expected him at 8am and that this was his final chance to do the job.
He went ballistic (just as the previous reviewer said, this nut job has a temper) and told me to keep the job and get somebody else to do it. Then he told me that he was going to put a lien on the house for the work done. Then he said that he was going to call the village because I didn't get permits. Let's see, if I needed permits to put lights in, don't you think my licensed electrician should have told me that?
Stay far, far away from this lunatic.

I would never recommend Advance Area Service to anyone! The worker
who appears to be the person who operates this business was extremely
rude, and unprofessional. I recommended his services to assist an elderly family member, and he treated her like crap. He was rude, disrespectful, and
crass. He speaks to his customers with a negative tone and does not like
you asking him questions about the job you paid him for. He takes advantage of elderly people, by taking their money and informing them if there is a problem with his work, he will continue to charge them if he has to come back to correct his mistakes or inadequacies. He is particularly impolite to women, especially elderly ones. Be aware of this business and its services!!!!!!!!

SCAM of a business. 4 voicemails and no response after they have cashed my check! Is this the twilight zone? I will be demanding that amazon local and groupon pull their offers AND they refund my money! Terrible human beings are just that. It's unfortunate that people like Ed and Nancy exist and give good contractors a bad rep.

This electrical service company has extremely poor customer service. I DO NOT recommend proceeding with them.
They're technician cancelled the appointment and no accommodation was made in the service fee charge for a rescheduled appointment.
Their company was able to inconvenience me so I was without air conditioning and did not believe any accommodation should be made.
