Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

We were looking to replace outside wiring for our backyard lights. Stefan was very responsive via the Yelp website and over the phone. We had been in contact on a Tuesday, and he was able to come that following Saturday (he was available to come sooner, but Saturday worked better for my schedule). He was able to provide an estimate over the phone after I sent him a couple photos explaining what would need to be done. Very knowledgeable and thorough. We had decided on a 10AM start time, and he actually arrived a few minutes earlier! He arrived wearing a mask, which is much appreciated during this time. He was very communicative and professional the whole time. Our setup is very old and had never been serviced, therefore hadn't been working for a number of years. Stefan was able to install/update new wiring and lights and everything works perfectly! He also followed-up a few days later to make sure everything was working ok, which again is much appreciated! Would definitely recommend him and will call him for any future projects!

Very responsive - did a great job on a clogged downspout and tub drain. This is the 3rd time I've called them - consistent good service.

I found T&D through a few review sites (Yelp, Angie's List, etc.). From the start, they were responsive to my requests for information and pricing. They took a proactive approach to ensure they understood the work that needed to be performed and even went as far as to send someone out to review the work prior to putting together an estimate. The cost of this visit was later applied to the work performed.

Even more impressive than the communication was the effort that went into completing the project on time and on budget. Our electrician was Rodrigo. He worked 12 straight hours on the first day he arrived without taking a lunch to ensure we would have power restored within the same day. After leaving the house at 7pm, he returned the next day promptly at 7am to finish the job. It's extremely rare that you find this caliber of service and work ethic in the trade industry.

Overall, the communication and work product combined resulted in an above average experience with T&D Electrical. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking a professional, hard-working, and efficient electrician.

Scheduled quickly, efficient, completed the work as expected, answered all our questions

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!

Over the weekend a pretty rough storm came through and worked a number on my front porch light causing a short to occur and loss of electric through the entire upstairs of my home. After ruling out a blown fuse, immediately, I was concerned about the safety of my home and what costs might be associated with this type of repair.  But unfortunately, it was a Saturday and I knew it might be difficult to have someone come out right away without it costing me an arm and a leg.  After doing a search, I was lucky enough to have found Greenline Electric, Edward answered the phone, put my concerns at ease and within an hour was at my home, with an assistant, and ready to evaluate and take care of the issue. He was very upfront about the cost of the visit and gave me all available options at a fair price.  He and his team were knowledgeable, courteous, and helpful.    Once he addressed the safety issue, he had indicated he was going to come back early the following week to finish weatherproofing the front porch light, now that the safety issue had been addressed.  And just as promised, he reached out to me a few days later and came back to finish the job.  If you are in need of an electrician who will take the time to find and solve your issues at a reasonable price (even in stressful, emergency situations), check out Greenline Electric!

I have used Ryan for electrical projects at my home multiple times. The first time was for installing a doorbell in a troublesome spot and the second time was for adding additional outlets to key locations in my house. He is knowledgeable, friendly and easy to work with. He very much has a 'teach a man to fish' mentality, which I have appreciated.

He has consistently gotten the job done. I'll be using his services again in the future for sure!

Highlights Chicago gave me a very simple and reasonable quote. I had them install two ceiling fans in my condo. The quote was for the job and not by the hour. Mike was great, very professional and did a wonderful job. I can't wait for warm weather to come to Chicago so I can use my new fans.

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

Jose and Rodney are great! We needed more electrical work than we thought, but Jose did not charge more than the original quoted price except for more equipment that was needed for some unforeseen problems that came up. Rodney did a great job painting and even did some minor covering of a small spot of ugly color on my walls. I will soon ask them to install some recessed lighting as they already explained the procedure. What a great team!

Highly recommend Jake and his team for electrical projects large and small. Early on during COVID he installed a new outlet so we could relocate a desk and while there provided some options for adding light to our dimly lit basement. We finally contacted him for the basement work and he responded right away and was able to come within a few days. The basement looks fantastic and Jake went out of his way making multiple trips to stores looking for hard to find parts. Fair prices and high quality work!

Highly recommend this company.  Johnny was both professional and most importantly got the job done.  

In addition, we called during this outbreak and he wore a mask and gloves, maintained a distance and I also noticed he sprayed the area with disinfectant without me asking him to.  

Thanks Johnny!

Arrived on time, got the job done (fixing a previous job by another provider that didn't go well that I didn't want to come back), and cleaned up the work area in my condo. All for a very fair price.  Will call them again for my next electrical project!

A++ in all aspects. I had great pleasure to hire Tom's company for our house project. The project included multiple rooms. Complete Bath and kitchen electrical renovation. Two bathrooms received outlets, switches, can lights and fans. The kitchen received  new can lights and outlets. Living room got new can lights. We also added wired smoke detectors throughout the house. Tom was a total professional when he came in for the estimate. Everything was explained so that there were no surprises any time during the project and he made sure that we understood the work that was going to take place. Prices were very competitive, and work was done in the time promised. Tom made sure that everything was done right, to code and left everything clean and spotless. I would definitely hire again. Highly recommended.

Wonderful communication and service from Frank and his father. We couldn't be happier with the installation of our lights, switches, and other necessary repairs. Would highly recommend them for your future home needs.

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.

Outstanding customer service!  I needed same day service at my home.  While the Fixer could not come that day, they gave me the names and numbers of other reputable electricians in the area.  I was really impressed with their helpful service, and I would certainly come back to them.  They deserve to be the top of the Yelp list.
