Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

We were warned by homeowner friends when we moved into our new home that a good electrician is hard to find. We didn't realize this until our power kept glitzing and turning off in the basement whenever we have space heaters on.  Did a yelp search and got numerous quotes but Stefan's from AC/DC  was the most reasonable.  He came and assessed the problem, replaced burnt-out hazardous outlets and advised us to get baseboard heaters. He came back to install them and create a separate circuit breaker a week later. We are very happy with the work he's done, and we didn't lose an arm and a leg with the price he charged. Yes! We found a good electrician. He's definitely a keeper.

I had a list of a few things that I needed electrician help with, some of which were issues that I created myself. Darrell was patient and detailed when explaining what was wrong when he was doing the walk through for the estimate. He presented me a few options to minimize the amount of drywall that had to be cut out to install a new outlet in my kitchen, which I greatly appreciate. However, if it comes to that he has a good dry wall guy he recommends.  What was supposed to be just an estimate Darrell stayed longer to help cover up the mistakes I made so that my dining room had lights for when my in-laws came into town the next day. Without a doubt I will be calling Darrell in the near future to take care of a few more things. Highly recommend!

We had a lighting fixture that was not coming on, after months of trying to fix it on my own, Austin from T&D Electrical finally made it work. He also helped us by fixing two breakers that were constantly tripping. Setting up the appointment was super easy and they showed up right on time. Price was very reasonable. Will use them again for sure every time I need electrical work in my home or business.

Very satisfied with Ted's service and professionalism. He responded quickly, quoted a fair price for the work, completed the job right away and left the work area clean as a whistle. I have found my new electrician!

My wife and I are in the middle of a whole bunch of improvement projects right now while we remodel our 1923 house. After getting a few different estimates for electrical work, we ended up hiring Joe to re-do our service (updating an old 60amp fuse box from the 40s to 100amp service with a breaker), update our old ungrounded outlets, and install some fans and light fixtures. The price we got was great for the work he was going to do, and for the quality of the work that he did.

I have to say that of the multiple contractors we've dealt with for various projects over the past 6 months during our remodeling, so far Joe is the only one who, to put it simply, did what he said he was going to do, when he said he was going to do it, for how much he said it would be. No BS, no excuses, and quick to respond to questions we had. If all the contractors we've been working with for other projects were as good to us as Joe was, I'd have a few less gray hairs coming in. Next time we need electrical work done, we know who we'll be calling.

Chris was AMAZING! He was super reliable and took such great care in my forever home. He has come back twice and each time he has exceeded my expectations and I've already given his info to many friends who could use some electrical work. He hung 3  huge chandeliers with care and even made one work that didn't come with the parts needed from the manufacturer. He then hung an additional 6 other lights and even changed all my lightbulbs so they matched in color!

He also came back and hung two tvs for me the second visit which I can assure you will not be his last!

Thank you Chris and team for amazing and fast service  and being such a great person overall!

Appreciate you and your team!  See you soon!

I live in a real old house in Oak Park, tried to replace the possibly just as old light fixture on the porch myself and ran into a lot of rust and stripped wires and stuff I was not expecting so I knew I needed professional help. Edward at Greenline had Esteban out here in just a couple of days (would've been even sooner if I was available) and the job took 15 minutes and it looks great!

Ryan has been extremely responsive to our service requests.  Each time when we have explained our issue and the urgency (different kinds of contractors were arriving for the non-electrical elements of the project), Ryan was able to visit on relatively short notice and within the window quoted.  The 2nd time was an evening but, we were close enough to another job he was finishing and we were not charged any kind of after hours surcharge.

Ryan is professional but friendly and each time, went went out of his way to educate us.

I highly recommend his services.

Love these guys. Juvee came though and what a great guy.  Fixed everything, responsive and knowledgeable.

Steer Clear. This is not a legitimate electrical company. Gave me an estimate and did the electrical work for an EV charger in our condo building. Even though building management didn't request City of Chicago license initially, they checked for it later (it can be asked for at any time) and this company is not licensed in the City of Chicago and its illegal to do residential work without it. The job was done completely wrong and he almost blew the sump pump and electrical to entire building by connecting to a panel inexplicably and was told not to. Installed wiring that was bent and broken and taped together which could have caused shocks and burning. New contractor easily installed it - no bends or breaks. The wall outlet installed was open and exposed, and if water dripped to it could electrocute people. Sloppy, cut corners, dangerous, illegal and not up to code. Absolute garbage, rushed work. Refused to get City of Chicago license and come fix job. We will be pursuing our money back. This is an illegitimate electrical company. Avoid at all costs.

Addendum to review:

Right, I'm not an electrician , but here are couple facts that a real electrician should have known and done, that found out about your job.

You were told by the building engineer to use the 480/277 volt panel because 208/120 was already at the capacity.

You just plainly ignored that and proceeded with your version. Maybe you don't know the difference between two.

You ran 208/ 120 wires through 480/277 panel which was a huge code violation and a human life safety issue.

And that's not all:

Then you spliced those wires inside that panel multiple times -- code violation.

You then decided to use lightning contractor conduit to run the wires and overfill that conduit -- code violation.

You installed the breaker at the wrong panel (which was at capacity) so you overloaded that panel.

The wire was badly scraped

You removed pipe straps and made the electrical conduit loose -- code violation.

J boxes that you installed were unsecured and loose with knock outs missing -- code violation

I'm still waiting on the city of Chicago electrical registration paperwork  from you.

A qualified electrician would know right away that he is working with 480/277 volts and would have informed me that i needed a step down transformer in order for the EV charger to work!

On top things you have charged me over $2K for 2 J boxes and a roll of #6 wire, which costs $600 at the most. The piping was already 97% there , so what took you so long.

It took a qualified electrician a total of 8 hours to remove the faulty work and install everything from scratch including installing the transformer.

We'll happily accept a refund to settle this matter

Rodney and Jose are a great team. The removed a light fixture from a closet header, completed the demo of closet header and moved a slight switch. And then patched the drywall and prepped for paint. So great this duo can complete both the electrical and the drywall repair. Wrapped in one day.

Jake and Lenox were a great team- they were efficient and were able to locate the source of our electrical problem. They replaced 2 GFI's and have literally brought light back into our lives! We'll definitely be using them again.

It was a little weird that we only communicated through text, but that's actually my preferred method of communicating, so that worked out fine. Due to a small Chicago blizzard, I rescheduled at the last minute, and they were very flexible.

It's been hard to find a great electrician but Kinetic has been wonderful. I believe Doug helped us both time.  First time, what we thought would be expensive was not.  That was great news.  Second time, he fixed everything great.  Honest and great company to work with.

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.

Outstanding very communicative on time reliable all above in every category.  Always answers always explains what is needled and why

Alex responded to my posting quickly, was clear on costs, and came out at 8am the following day as promised. I gave wrong information on parts and he was ready with solutions to salvage the job and gave great advice. Would definitely hire again.

My mother is 88 yrs old. She fell on the floor a couple of weeks ago. The fire department had to pry the security door open. My sister and I was trying to find someone who would repair the door at a reasonable price. When you're most vulnerable, that's when price gouging occurs. We had a couple of companies quote prices and the time it would take to complete the job. I texted the picture of the door over to The Fixer and was very pleased with their prompt response. The Fixer(s) Angel R & Anthony J completed the job within 30 mins and the price very reasonable!  My Mom stated they were very nice, courteous and professional. Needless to say, The Fixer will be my go to company when I need repairs done at my home. You can trust The Fixer to get the job done! Thank you Angel R and Anthony J for a job well done!!
