Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

I cannot say enough AMAZING things about Stefan and the work he does. 100% WOULD RECOMMEND! We recently moved into a new home in the Lakeview area and needed quite a bit of electrical work done - moving a chandelier (in our main living/dining area) and several other fixtures (both inside and outside) as well as pulling a new 220V line to our roof deck. Given the chandelier was located in such a central area, I was nervous to work with someone whose craftmanship I had not seen before - but it was pristine! You would never know the ceiling was cut into and the fixture moved several feet because Stefan is so talented. Additionally, Stefan made a late-night house call for us to fix an issue we had with an appliance on our roof and stayed until the issue was completed, even in the dark and freezing cold, just to make sure the issue was truly fixed and we weren't left in a bind. He's a great guy to work with, is very prompt/easy to schedule, and I'd trust him with any job! We've referred him to several of our neighbors and they all have had excellent experiences as well.

Darrell and Enis were out within 15 minutes after I called (after hours) and were quick, efficient, and friendly.  Very responsive and a pleasure to work with. They took all precautions for COVID, booties and masks. I would recommend them to anyone for any electric or plumbing needs.

Excellent service! We were having some wiring issues with our a/c unit, so we contacted T&D. Our technician was Rodrigo, and he was fantastic! He was able to quickly diagnosis the problem and setup a plan to resolve the issues. He was very through and explained every step along the way.  I was very impressed by the service we received. We will only be using T&D for any future electrical issues.

Quick response, great service.  I would not hesitate to reach out to him again for other projects.

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!

I needed some electrical work done in my garage and MNC did great work.  Quick response, quality work and a good price.  I recommend.

Received great and prompt service from Edward and Julio to install a nest doorbell that needed extra work than the simple install on the packaging. Julio was very respectful of the end cosmetics and worked with us on very professionally the project. Bonus points for mask wearing!

While trying to install a new lighting fixture in the basement of our 1920s home, we encountered some truly baffling issues that, among other things, affected the outlets in our living room upstairs. After trying to troubleshoot the issue every way we knew how, we consulted Yelp to see if there was an electrician nearby who might be able to sort things out for us.

After reading the glowing reviews of Ryan Electrical Power and Lighting, it was an easy decision. Ryan responded to my request almost immediately and was at our home in Oak Park within an hour.

As we expected, our electrical issues weren't exactly straightforward but Ryan took his time to locate and remedy the problem and, in the process, eased our concerns about the safety and longevity of our wiring.

Ryan was extremely professional and courteous (he chatted with my dad and explained everything he was doing every step of the way so we know what to be on the lookout for in the future) and his rates were really fair. (When we inquired about the possibility of installing our new Nest Thermostat, he even recommended that we just call an HVAC professional who would probably charge us less!)

While we hope we don't have any electrical/wiring issues in the near future, we most certainly will call Ryan first if anything comes up!

As both a homeowner and long-time landlord, I am very skeptical about all contractors. I found Highlights Chicago Electrical Services on Yelp, and was even more skeptical regarding well over 200 five-star reviews. I needed a major electrical service upgrade done on a historic landmark apartment building I own so I had no choice but to do the research and select a contractor.

I know there are ways to get great reviews on Yelp. However, nine times out of ten, those people or services won't bother to write reviews in great detail, let alone many paragraphs in length. As I read through the reviews I realized they were legit.

I can now add mine to the list. This company has truly earned every five-star review it has received. I have NEVER had such a positive experience with an electrical contractor. Quite the opposite. I got 3 different estimates, and they weren't the lowest, and not the highest either. Boz came out to look at what needed to be done (which included undoing the disaster the previous electrician created) within a few hours of my call. He explained everything in detail, and the pro's and con's of what my options were.

They never asked for any payment upfront! The estimate was extraordinarily detailed. Shock number one. The team I was assigned, Kaplan and Jose, showed up ready to go at 7 am the next day! Shock number two. They worked their butts off until well after 6 pm! Shock number 3. They came back the next two days and did it again. Shock number 4.

This is a company that is proud of what they do. The end result looked like a work of art. The conduit was perfectly aligned, evenly spaced and so symmetrical I couldn't get over it. Every detail was addressed, and all done without cutting corners, dodging building codes, or overcharging. Old houses are not easy to work on and require a lot of patience and genuine expertise. They worked around all the challenges and knocked it out of the ballpark.

As long as they are in business, I will NEVER use anyone else. The few hundred dollars you might save going with the lowest cost option is nothing compared to the misery you will spare yourself by having this company do the work. If I could give them more stars I would. They are also really nice people to work with. When was the last time you thought that about a contractor?

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

Needed a new light fixture hung in the kitchen. The guys were courteous, professional, and thorough. We plan on using them again soon.

Recently used Urban Power to have third panel installed at my 2 flat in Logan Square and the needed infrastructure installed to house a new third meter.  I found Jake to be easy to work with. I feel all work was completed satisfactorily and in a timely manner.  I also felt the pricing was fair compared to other quotes I received.  I felt some of the other quotes I received, the companies were trying to over sell me.  Jake quoted the proper materials need to get the job done.  I would gladly use Jake again in the future and recommend him.

Nearly all of these reviews are 5 stars for a reason - Neville is efficient, thorough, and fair. Negative reviews are from people who seemingly don't use text messaging as a form of communication. Admittedly it was a little foreign to me to transact via text, but it ended up being efficient. I actually never met Neville in person because he worked on the air conditioning fan of a unit I rent out, and he made the process very easy. He texted a picture and explanation of the issue, had it fixed in less than an hour, and charged my credit card later that day. I didn't have to leave work or really do much of anything because Neville made it easy. I will hire him again.

The latest heavy snowfall ripped the utility pole off the side of my house, along with live power lines.  Yikes.  After ComEd refused to do anything and the Fire Department cordoned off the area with yellow hazard tape, I had to find an electrician on an emergency basis who was able to put it all back together without anyone getting electrocuted.  I soon found out that not every electrician works with live power lines.  But then I called Kinetic Energy.  They didn't blink.  They sent over a team immediately.  The men worked for hours in the bitter cold without complaint and did a great job.  We are very grateful to them and strongly recommend them!

I had 3 people come out for discussions on our project and Tom came up with great recommendations for outdoor installation of lights and fixed some landscaping spotlights. He was reliable, helped pick out products and did a great job.  I'd definitely recommend him and will use him for future projects.

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

Pros: responsive, punctual, honest, respectful of my home, fair pricing
Cons: none found
Alex did a great job replacing a broken switch. He responded quickly to my initial request and was fast in communicating throughout the scheduling process. We are very happy with the quality of work.
We'll likely have to have most of our old wiring replaced and are looking forward to have Alex and his team back. Seems to be a newer company, and I'm glad we took a chance on them.

I will be using Fixer from this point forward. I absolutely love their online booking system. I just finished having electrical work and a ceiling fan installed done by Ricordo. He was very knowledgeable, fast and provided great customer service. I'm super happy I found this company. Can't say enough good things about Fixer. Thank you!
