Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

Stephan was great! Came out same day! Was quick and did an amazing job! Highly recommended! Will call again.

At first, this electrician seemed promising.  Darrell came out the same day I contacted them to provide an estimate.  We were doing some delicate electrical work that involved drilling a hole into the side or our condo, while avoiding gas and water lines.  So we wanted to be careful about who we used for the job.  Darrell provided a price and answered all of our questions. Due to work schedules, we need the work to be done on a weekend.  So, we booked something 10 days out, given that Darrell was could not do it on a weekend sooner than that.  The night before our Saturday morning appointment, Darrell texted that he could not make it and needed to reschedule.  After we waited 10 days for him, he told us 15 hours before the appointment that he could not make it.  Had he told us anytime in the preceding week and a half, we would have lined up another electrician.  So he really left us hanging.  And we had also scheduled the rest of our Saturday agenda around his availability. So he wasted our time in every respect.  Very unprofessional.

This company went above and beyond. Not only did they upgrade the electric box and service as they were supposed to, but they also added 3 extra small outlets for my cable service and other things that now look awesome. Before they arrived the electrical closet down stairs was a mess, now it looks great! Thanks guys!

Honey Do Home Electrical was quick to respond to my request.  Understood what I needed done, showed up on time and completed the work with the budget amount.

I just had electrical work done at my home and Joe did a great job! Had at least 4/5 projects which were not large and he was fast and efficient. Will definitely call again for future needs.

For all you single women, first time homeowners, who are getting ripped off out there, search no more. Chris is an honest professional. He's done mutliple jobs at my place now and trust me, I've searched the quotes. His work is clean, up to code, and even educates me on the do's and don'ts. For me, this goes a long way. His communication is exceptional, his thoroughness is easily visible, and he keeps it real. when you find a good contractor you share him, because there are a lot of contractors out there that are so demanding and the job is total trash ass. That's the worst.

Hm.  I'm not sure if this company ever served me, but I ended up in a spot on the Yelp website where I had to leave a review or at least stars... so 5 stars or zero stars?  I'm more of a five star person, so there you go.

Ryan was great to work with. He was on time and very transparent on what he was doing and what the cost would be. Furthermore he had me inspect the work afterwards to make sure I was satisfied. I will definitely be working with Ryan again in the future.

Excellent service.  I needed help replacing a ceiling fan in a 12 foot ceiling.
I was able to schedule service within the same week and technicians were prompt, professional and extremely clean.  Billing was handled electronically which is much appreciated!  I will definitely hire them again for my future electrical needs.

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

After attempting to install a new light fixture myself I ran into an electrical road block.  Jose of Tweaks & Finishes responded promptly to my request for an estimate, and scheduled the service call for the same day!  Jose, accompanied by Rodney arrived on time, and treated me and my home with such care and respect.  Jose was extremely knowledgeable, and quickly diagnosed my electrical problem-explaining the issue(s) found along the way.  A quick replacement of a burnt out dimmer switch restored my lighting, and mended the mess I created. Jose and Rodney also cleaned up the wires behind my many wall switches which they found to be a safety hazard, and installed my new ceiling light-all at a reasonable price within my budget.  Both gentlemen were kind, professional, and mindful-cleaning up after any small mess that was made.  I am thankful to have found Tweaks & Finishes, I am looking forward to using them again in the future for a painting project. Many thanks to Jose and Rodney!

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.

I sent these guys a message through yelp for a household repair request, and the owner Neville was extremely detailed and fast with his responses.  He helped me diagnose my situation, explained their fees and procedures and ended up recommending I just get a handyman since I would be saving money since my project didn't necessarily need an electrician.  I appreciate the honesty and he even told me to look into something before I hire the handyman, just dealing with the owner through yelp messaging I can see why there are so many 5 star reviews, they go above and beyond and will not attempt to overcharge or waste your time unless they can help.  Honest service technicians are very rare and much appreciated since often time the consumer can be confused or ignorant.  Thank you Neville, I won't hesitate you inquire again when and if I do need an expert electrician!

Had Ted and asst. out in Aug. to put up ceiling fan in our 100+ yr. old bungalow which would have been no small feat for my husband, if he survived the quirky wiring without electrocuting himself.  I love the philosophy and attitude of this company: Do It Right.  Ceiling fan installed in no time and a sparky outlet repaired.  Had Ted give me estimate for update to code which seemed reasonable.  I agreed to have the proposed work done after back to school.  Ted is responsible, sent proposal, phones to follow up--all that many in the trades don't do. Crew was out when it was suppose to arrive.  Tara is a peach, as are her two co workers.  Yes, Ted has a lady electrician!  Crew worked well together, worked steadily, minimal break, made sure everything was labeled and operational.  Cleaned up too!  I will have Ted and crew out again to do more work on this old house.  Really exceptional.  A pleasure to deal with.  Highly recommend.

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.

We asked a Fixer first to repair our dishwasher that suddenly stopped draining, and it wasn't clogged. He made some adjustments, showed us what the problem seemed to be so that we would know if it happened again. When he finished, we took him to see a glass shower door that was starting to shift and stick when we tried to open it.

After two trips, the door was fixed. It was a complicated job, and the Fixer who started it, came back when it wasn't quite right.

It was expensive to complete the work, but it was worth it. The shower door was done well and looks good. An earlier attempt to fix that shower door was less than professional.
