Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

Stefan responded quickly with a reasonable quote and his provided his availability. He came to replace two dimmer switches, but had brought the wrong type. He ran to the store to get the right items, completed the repair, gave me great advice on how to reduce my energy consumption, and charged the original flat fee he quoted. I definitely recommend his services!!

Power unexpectedly went out in three rooms of our home and I had no idea who to call? I searched for an electrician in my area and Sims and Sons had great reviews so I called. Darrell responded immediately and sent a crew the next day to troubleshoot the problem. Eli and Graham came, saw, and conquered! It wasn't as simple as a blown fuse and they needed to locate the source of the faulty wire and examined and tested every route.

I really appreciated the information they shared and the questions that were answered. Mostly, they made this repair as convenient for me as possible so I could continue to work without shutting off power to the rest of the house.

This was a super professional crew who just got it done quickly. And, I thought the rate was extremely reasonable. Thank you Sims and Sons!

I found T&D electrical via an internet search, and i couldn't be happier with the find! I needed some light fixtures installed, and a garage door opener changed. Setting up a service call was a breeze, and the communication was prompt and friendly. The technician was prompt, professional, and completed the installs perfectly. I'll definitely be using T&D again in the future

Ted was great to work with! I highly recommend Honey Do Home Electrical!

He came over and assessed our work request and provided us a quote via text later that week.

We scheduled our work dates (3 day job) and Ted was there everyday at 9am just as he had committed. When he was in the house he was clean, quiet and respectful. Work was broken up between morning, left for lunch, then came back to finish up for the day. On the 3rd day the job was done and we squared up our invoice, discussed some future upgrades to the outside and the garage and he was off.

Overall Ted and his son were great and the quality of work was great. I look forward to Honey Do Home Electric coming back to working on the outside and the garage.

Joe is still the absolute best electrician around! If you have an older home (ours are over 100+) and have knob and wire he will know how to take care of  it.  He's installed numerous ceiling fans, ran an outlet to directly behind our mounted tv to hid the cords and most recently added an additional breaker.  His pricing can't be beat and he's fast, trustworthy and all around good guy.  

In the future I plan on hiring him again to instal an electric power supply for our smart car - something he's getting more and more jobs doing as of late.

Don't hesitate to hire him!

First of all, I rarely write reviews but I was so impressed I felt the need to write this one.  I needed a light switch replaced in my kitchen.  Chris responded quickly with a very fair estimate yesterday and was able to schedule an appointment for today.  Chris is professional, courteous, efficient and very reasonable with his charges.  I have already discussed having him replace some light fixtures in my house.  I highly recommend ALC Electric!

So I reached out to this company through Yelp about a month ago.
At first they seemed quick to respond and willing to help but I still do not have a response for the work I wanted done.

A gentleman contacted me and asked a few questions and then gave me a time and date to come look at the house for estimates. He was late to the appoint by nearly an hour due to a car appointment running over longer than expected.

He gave me some solid advice saying to look into my internet provide to get the work installed (I did, but tried again with no luck). I did appreciate the recommendation. I thought it was sweet.

After researching my internet provider again. I texted that same gentleman about getting work done.
No response. I texted him again about 2 days later only to be given a number of someone else because he was out of town.

I called the number and left a voicemail only to be never contacted. You win some you lose some.

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!

Highlights Chicago was very friendly and professional. They provided a same day quote for electrical work by simply texting them a few photos of my garage. We set up an appointment for the following week and the electricians arrived early. They explained everything as they worked and the job was done cleanly and efficiently. Highly recommended!

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

High quality work for a great price. Very impressed and will be hiring them for more work in the future. They hung a chandelier in my house with very high ceilings and it looks great.

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.

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.

Worked with Ted on a job in La Grange Park. He and his crew did a great job running 2 lines to the Space Pak central air system we installed. Pricing was fair has well. All work completed in a timely manner. Thanks Kinetic Energy. Sincerely Ted Assured Air.

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.

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.

I found Fixer by searching Yelp reviews of local contracting companies. Overall, I would say my experience wasn't terrible, but I left underwhelmed with the experience.

I had a pesky window frame that needed to be repaired and I was struggling to find someone who could help within a reasonable timeframe. I chose Fixer because the reviews seemed fairly consistent and they seemed to have the most availability.

When it came to scheduling, they have options that say you can request a timeframe of 6-7 CST on weekdays, but then you get a text from their system saying they typically only book 7AM-3PM. Their 6-7 CST appointments was a factor that led me to choose them for services. I found out later that on rare occasions there can be some appointments that fill that time slot (as well as weekends). I wound up choosing the earliest available appointment window of 7AM-8AM where a worker would arrive. Come to the day of the appointment, I get a text saying the worker Miguel was on their way at 7:03AM. Come 7:45AM, still no update and I started calling/texting the numbers that had communicated with me. They knew that Miguel was not coming and had not communicated this issue with me until I started texting. It was very frustrating that they knew he was not coming, yet they did not communicate this issue to me earlier.

They sent another worker (named Beck) out at 8:08AM and Beck did show within 20 minutes of this time. The window frame fix took less than 20 minutes. So I suggest that if you book them, try to have a few tasks in mind that they could work on because they charge a minimum of an hour (and the cost was expensive). Admittedly, I didn't know how long the window fix would take so I didn't think having additional tasks through very well. Beck was polite and kind when I spoke about my issues and suggested I reach out to management. Beck also said this issue has happened with appointments scheduled with Miguel before.

About an hour later, a manager named Jayme reached out to me and informed me that they have an automated text that goes out the morning/time of your appointment that says a driver was leaving. They are aware of that if a driver calls off, the message still goes out. Jayme was apologetic and gave me a discount for the issue I experienced. However, I was really disappointed that they knew about this automatic text issue and did not reach out to me when they knew Miguel would not be able to keep the appointment.

Overall, I get that issues happen. The company owned up to their mistakes and remedied the best they could. Truly appreciate that. Given the experience, I think I am going to try a few other contracting companies. I'm not going to rule Fixer out completely, but I felt the pricing was truly a bit steep unless you have a few things for them to fix within the hour. Beck's quality did hold up for the service, but the scheduling and timing issues have deterred me from keeping Fixer as a go-to contractor.
