Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

Chose AC/DC based on Yelp reviews when we were looking to replace our kitchen cabinet puck lights with LED lighting and we're glad we did!  Stefan was great - responded quickly to our inquiry, communicated well about scheduling the installation, quoted a price and job duration which were spot on, and showed up on time.  He put in LED lighting similar to what was on his website (which is worth checking out to get a sense of options).  He was professional, no-nonsense, and really easy to work with.  We're likely to have other lighting and electrical needs for our condo and we will not hesitate to call on Stefan and AC/DC Electrical Construction.

Darrell and Enis were awesome, I can't say enough about how happy I am with the job they did.  I called on a Friday to see if I could get an estimate for replacing some lights and switches.  Darrell and Enis were able to come by within a couple of hours to check out the job.  They kept careful notes of what needed to be done and Darrell pointed out some issues that I hadn't even thought of.  They returned on Thursday to install the lights and new switches.  They even painted a trim piece that was needed for one of my lights to match!  
I only wish I had called them earlier!!

Hired to install some fixtures and reroute power. Our technician was prompt, professional, thoughtful about the work and the final quality and attention to detail was excellent. I will 100% be using T & D electrical for any future electrician needs.

Ted (and son Tom) showed up very punctual, a rarity for any contractor apparently, to their scheduled time. The immediately laid down drop cloths, surveyed what they would need to bring into the home and got to work. They added two outlets in two separate rooms and did so very neatly and professionally. Pricing was a bit higher than I expected but nevertheless they did a professional job and even had to run to HD twice for materials needed as my home gave them extra work to do. All in all I'd recommend. Both wore masks the whole time.

Joe is the ruler of the universe!!!  Made a call  to him and he showed up in 30 minutes and solved our electric nightmare. I'm gonna hire him for all of my electric needs. Thanks Joe!

So I just purchased a new home and having some circuit breaker issues. Found Chris on Yelp very nice guy. Very responsive. Came right out, Fix the issue under 15 minutes so I will definitely be calling him back out to finish the work, Definitely give Chris a call or give him a chance if you are having any type of issues with circuit breakers or electrical issues definitely recommend this business. Thanks, Chris

Totally recommend if you're in need of any electrical jobs. Edward was great about providing a fair and accurate estimate. Esteban was on time, very professional and did a great job in installing our new living room light fixture. Job required him to move and center a new box on our sloped/vaulted ceilings. Also appreciated the follow-up call to make sure we were satisfied. Couldn't be happier!!!

I am late writing this review, but Ryan recently installed an outlet in my home. He was responsive, punctual and communicative. 10/10 would recommend!

I had called several electrical companies and they either didn't service my area Englewood, Chicago or were tied up with previous jobs. However, one referred me to Highlights Chicago THIS WAS THE BEST REFERRAL EVER! I called Highlights and within two days Boz from Highlights came out to give me an estimate. He was so cheery friendly professional and took his time, never rushing me as I explained our electrical problems. I got his proposal for the work within a day. It was detailed and gave pricing for each job. I accepted on Thursday and Highlights was at the property by Tuesday.  They arrived on time and Boz was there to introduce his three electricians- Wil, Geraldo and Ben.  They were so professional worked steadily in 86 degree weather only stopping for lunch-the job was an all day, literally accomplishment.  I am so pleased with the work it is a family occupied building and everyone is estatic with what was done in each of their apartments and the lights on the two back porches.  I would highly recommend these guys and if I need electrical work again there is no question what company I will be calling--Highlights Chicago!!

Rogelio did a good job on our building. Repaired some outlets, in the apartment, garage, and outside of the building. He shared photos of his progress. We talk over the phone to clarify details and got a quote on the spot for additional work that was necessary and was finished the same day after getting the parts needed.
He is also bilingual, what helps communicating easier for a larger population group.
All good overall.

Fantastic guys. Knowledgeable and experienced. Upfront pricing unlike when I reached out to Jiffy (an online service provider). On-time and was totally professional and I absolutely love my installed dining room light. I will be using them when I move into my new home.

Jake came to fix an electrical issue on our rooftop. He was able to quickly identify the problem and address it. He was very friendly and reasonably priced. I definitely recommend!

When Neville arrived I was impressed by his professionalism and easy demeanor.

We had two problems going on:

(1) The lighting fixture under the kitchen cabinet over the sink--We couldn't get the light to turn on. I thought it may have had something to do with the ballast.

(2) The ceiling fan in the bedroom was not working properly and making clicking sounds. The dome for the light housing was next to impossible to get off if we ever needed to change the bulb.

Now before I get into why you should like this company, I want to point out that we had a contractor who came by to do some work on our unit about two weeks ago. He demonstrated no professionalism; lied about what he did; over-charged for his services and did a half-assed job--leaving one of the two light switches disabled when he left. Also, he gave an assessment of the ceiling fan and said that it would be very expensive. He was scheduled to come back (with parts that he purchased) and take care of the ceiling fan. Unfortunately, people like this never show up on the radar screen on places like Yelp--they are a hole in the wall and generally give the industry a bad name. Realizing that the landlord was going to have this guy come back, I  informed the landlord of the shoddy services performed and that he was probably being overcharged--which he was. The landlord started searching for another contractor.

After showing Neville the problem with the kitchen fixture, he had it figured out in less than ten minutes. Problem solved! loose wire. No parts. Very little labor. Smart trouble-shooting.

The ceiling fan was a bit more tricky. The dome had to be unscrewed and required a bit of tenacity as well as finesse. Dome light with a bit of work was removed. Taking apart the fan motor, he was able to trouble-shoot where the clicking was coming from and correct the problem. With the fan being as old as it was it was determined that it should be replaced. But because we rent out the condo, it was fine just the way it was so long as we did not have the fan set to maximum speed. Besides, with fall here and winter approaching we really didn't the fan that much anyway. But since he fixed the problem with the clicking we have used the fan at night for circulation and it is whisper-quite.

At the end of the job, which took less time than I thought, he didn't have to replace anything. No parts to replace--just the labor. Blacklite has probably saved our landlord several hundred, if not thousands of dollars, because Casablanca fans are not cheap.

I know I was probably a bit more detailed in this review than I perhaps needed to be, but I just wanted to compare the services of a contractor that has great customer service skills, professionalism and knows his trade compared to a contractor that doesn't and is only out to get rip a hole in your pocket.

When we move and get our own place, this company is definitely on my list as a keeper. Thanks again Neville for a great job even though I don't own the place.

The two people who came to install a ceiling fan, two sconces, and add a switch in a vintage apartment were efficient and knowledgeable. $125/worker/hour which seems like the standard rate, with no dilly-dallying.

Tom installed a Tesla rapid charger in our garage yesterday. He did this with professionalism and expertise. I will hire him again for future electrical needs.

Ted changed out fixtures throughout our house, including a difficult chandelier in our dining room. He also fixed a hot outlet and looked at our garage electrical. He was on time, fairly priced, and did great work. We'll be using him again.

Very responsive and responsible. Alex tried to help us trouble shoot over the phone to save us money. When that didn't work he showed up promptly, diagnosed the issue, and fixed the bad breaker.

Best pricing around and great young guy working hard for his business. Highly recommended.

My experience with this business was literally the worst experience I have ever had with a vendor or contractor.

My initial issue was needing to replace a faucet cartridge on my tub to adjust the water which was estimated to take 1 to 1.5 hours. The tech that came out was on the phone the whole time w/ John P. (he refused to give me his full name but I saw it on the caller ID) the lead trainer. It was clear she was struggling with the job. I would have been ok w/ her saying that she couldn't complete the job and I would have paid her for her time. Instead, I got an update on the app saying that the time estimate to complete the job changed from 1 to 1.5 to 4 to 5 hours. I hadn't planned on it taking that long and had to return to work as I had to take time off yesterday (and most of the next day) to be home to deal w/ this. She left after two hours without replacing or repairing the cartridge and reinstalled the faucet backwards so that the hot / cold lever was on the wrong side. I then immediately got a bill for $250 w/ the faucet installed incorrectly and the original issue unaddressed.

Later I noticed that the bathroom directly below the one where the tech was was now soaked in water. I notified Fixer of this as well as the original issue not being resolved and the faucet being installed backwards, and a second team came to try to fix what the first tech had done. They said there was now a leak in the wall behind the faucet that the tech had worked on and turned the water off. They called John P. He said he couldn't do anything and I would have to call customer service. I repeatedly asked for a contact (name and number) of someone at Fixer to help me resolve the issue. He would not provide it nor would he provide his own name or contact number, though I saw his first name and initial of last name on the tech's phone. I could hear when he was talking to the tech saying I'm sorry you have to deal with this @#$$ referring to me! At no time did he ever apologize to me for anything that happened or give any other suggestions about how to fix the issue they had caused other than tell me I had to call customer service.
I did get a call from a customer service rep who said they could perhaps turn it into their insurer but that would take a long time. Her attempt to solve the problem was to provide some referrals for a plumber at my expense to correct an issue they caused. When I insisted that someone who could resolved the issue be sent today since at this point I don't have any water rather than having a plumber come out they sent a 3rd Fixer team. After a couple of hours, they said they couldn't fix it. The customer service rep said that if their team could not address the issue she would have a plumber come out. That didn't happen.

After three visits from Fixer I still didn't have the original, quite simple issue addressed, had no water at all and a leak in my walls!
After it became clear they would not adequately address the issue, I called a plumber. He identified the source of the leak in about 5 minutes and cleaned the cartridge which corrected the issue that I had called Fixer about in the first place. Unfortunately, this resulted in a significant bill that I now had to pay, as well as additional tiling work around the tub faucet which he had to rip out to repair the leak. I haven't even looked into the possible damage in the walls yet from the leak.

At every turn, this company could have resolved this issue and for some reason chose not to. I really wanted to like this company as it appears they are very pro LGBTQ and employ quite a few women at their company which is atypical in my experience. What a disappointing, demoralizing experience.
