Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

Stefan is great! He helped us install a 240V outlet for our EV charger. He is reliable, easy to communicate with, and efficient with his work. I highly recommend.

My husband and I found this company on Yelp after an unexpected power outage in our master bedroom. We were very impressed that Darrel answered the phone at midnight on a weekend and came over himself the following morning. He was able to take care of the issue quickly and explain why it had happened in a way a lay person could understand.

We unfortunately had a similar outage a few weeks later in the same room (unrelated- lucky us!). We texted Darrel and he immediately responded to help diagnose the issue via text. He got us set up with a service call the next day from Enis. Darrel knew all the right questions to ask was able to narrow down the issue via some pictures. Enis then came over and replaced our outside GFCI outlet which had gotten moisture into it. During both service calls the men wore booties and masks and were polite and informative. We obviously weren't thrilled these issues occurred back to back, but felt very comfortable that Darrel and his team were trustworthy and extremely competent. We also appreciated the follow up call from Darrel to make sure we were completely satisfied with our service.

We would be happy to recommend their service and would definitely use them again in the future for any other electrical needs!

Rodrigo was extremely knowledgeable, on time, nice, pointed out issues, fixed problem with old electrical line and removing it which is why I called, all within an hour.  Having him quote me on other projects immediately.  Good prices, use them.

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.

CALL THIS GUY!!  I spent a good portion of year, hundreds of dollars and went through 3 other electricians before I found Joe.  After explaining the symptoms, he pinpointed a random electrical issue I was dealing with in minutes.  He charged me a small fee for his short time spent and followed up the next day to be sure all was well.  I will definitely use him again and will be telling all my friends. Thanks again Joe!

Chris is very responsive, honest and good at what he does. He is the person to call for quick and easy fixes - he says he specializes in service calls (installing light fixtures, troubleshooting things around your house). Definitely give him a call, he'll take care of your project quickly and professionally.

Installed 2 outdoor outlet boxes on rooftop deck. Excellent work. Clean and paid attention to the details. Highly recommend.

Ryan is very kind and courteous, absolutely no question there!  He arrived promptly, when needed.  My only issue being his quote deviated from the email quote.  Ryan knew our issue prior to arrival so upon his arrival he discovered the issue right away.

Ryan is professional and also licensed.  He is the best in the business!  You will always get the best with him.  Advice: get a quote prior to arrival and stick to it.  He is a great electrician and worth the money!

They came back with a quote quickly and were able to schedule the work within a couple of days. They replaced all of the cabling from the supply, moved the meter, grounded everything properly, and even fixed a couple of outlets. Really great to work with and quality work. 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

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.

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.

I had to have a new junction put in, which required cutting into the ceiling. The Blacklite guys came over and did a very nice job and were fast and efficient.

After my excellent painting crew patched and painted the ceiling (see Sefner Painting), Neville from Blacklite came over to install a rather challenging ceiling fixture. He was not going to leave until it was done perfectly!

The final step was installing dimmers. Johnny was happy to go back to the store to get an additional dimmer so I could have a another set of lights done, and also installed a much needed ceiling fan control.

I highly recommend Blacklite Electric. The communication is always easy and the service and quality are fantastic.

Excellent service and great value! We had Kinetic upgrade our electrical service last summer and highly recommend them!

Could not recommend a better electrician!

I had a desire to install ceiling recessed lights and ceiling fans in a few rooms for some time. After doing some research on Yelp, I found Tom and gave him a call. We were able to set up a in-person consultation soon after, where he walked me through the options for recessed LED lights (4in vs 6in) and spacing of said lights. We agreed on an overall plan and start date.

During the project, Tom and his men were timely, clean, and very efficient in their work. They carefully calculated and marked out the placement of the lights and fan on the ceiling in each room for my approval before starting to cut into the drywall. In the end, they had to cut into a surprisingly small amount of the drywall to put everything together. In the two places in each room that they did have to open up the wall, they carefully replaced the drywall, saving me from having to make any large patches before repainting.

I wanted to use a particular smart dimming switch (Brilliant), but it was backordered and did not arrive in time. Tom hooked up everything using temporary switches and came back later to finish the job once they arrived.

Overall, I would definitely use Tom and his men again! I have a couple other projects around the house I've been thinking of (electric car charger, exterior light, replacing track lighting with more recessed lights, etc.) and plan to use Tom for these projects in the future!

Frank is very professional.  Showed up when he said he would, explained what he was doing, and even provided a lower price than what he first quoted.  I will definitely call him again for any electrical job.  Highly recommend!

Very responsive and responsible. Alex tried to help us trouble shoot over the phone to save us money. When that didn't work he showed up promptly, diagnosed the issue, and fixed the bad breaker.

Best pricing around and great young guy working hard for his business. Highly recommended.

Kudos to Ricordo P. for dealing with a highly inappropriate neighbor of mine who was hawk-eyeing him, starting an argument and blasting his horn while he tried to work. He handled the inappropriateness of this man with extreme professionalism. He also was friendly to both me and my dog (who was initially scared of the suitcase wheels), efficient, worked quickly, and repaired the step. Thank you a million!
