Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

I received a follow up call from Stefan today. I accepted the attempt to apologize even though he blamed the incident on a new employee. I don't believe he realizes that the cellphone # he called from was the same as Sunday and it was the same voice and tone used (minus the 4-letter words). He again offered to perform free work (which he stated on the previous review no one would ever offer such from AC/DC). I realize that the goal was not to offer a truthful apology but to ask me to remove my review. I explained that I will not remove my review because it was a truthful and accurate description of my encounter.

I understand times are hard. That is exactly why we all need to be honest with ourselves and kind to others. I will continue to wish your establishment well but I will not be contacting or recommending for any electrical needs.

Have a great day. I hope you are able to discuss professionalism with your employees.

Any additional phone calls to me will be considered harassment.

Had Sims and Sons come out to resolve a few electrical issues in our house and garage. They were very responsive with their communication and were able to send someone earlier than I had asked for. Enis went above and beyond, he was also able to install a new outlet in our pantry without cutting any drywall around the switch box, so I didn't have to patch and paint anything afterwards saving extra time, effort, and money.

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!

I can not say enough in praise! Ted and his son came on time and installed 4 fixtures and 3 dimers for me. He even redid a fixture I had tried to install - poorly. They cleaned up and took everything away...old fixtures, packing materials  - everything, you could not tell they had been there.  I am calling them back before the painters come and have them go to work on replacing all the switches and outlets! Call Ted NOW!

Joe is the best. Thoughtful. Detail oriented. Fair pricing. He came to our home (built in 1969) and added 38 recessed / can lights all over the house. I almost don't want to review him so he doesn't get booked up, but he deserves all the work that comes his way!

I reached out via Yelp on a Friday, and Chris came out on Saturday to take a look and provide an estimate (work across two units in our multi-family building). His prices were reasonable and we were able to get scheduled within a few days. He and his team did high quality work very efficiently. We'll definitely call him next time we need electrical help!

Master bedroom lights/outlets weren't working so Greenline came out within a hour on a Friday night to help us out! Fixed the problem quickly for a great price. Had so many Electrition's flake/keep rescheduling but Greenline was honest and kept their word. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We were really optimistic after reading the reviews for Ryan.

After we recently experienced a blackout in our master bathroom, and after my husband checked the fuse without success, I went to Yelp where I came across Ryan's profile. The good: he was responsive and was able to come same day!

Unfortunately, his visit did not at all live up to the reviews here or the expectations we'd aligned on via the phone prior to his arrival. When my husband called and spoke to him earlier in the day, Ryan was very elusive when asked about his hourly rate should repairs be required. We should've noted this as a red flag, but we figured we could at least get a diagnosis and then make an informed decision about how to proceed. When pressed, Ryan claimed his fee just to show up and diagnose the problem would be $175. That felt a little steep, but we agreed to that pricing after he explicitly confirmed that cost would go toward any repairs that might be required. After arriving at our home (and after looking around and telling us we had a really nice place/asking what we did for a living...) Ryan ultimately didn't honor that conversation.

It turns out the problem was a hidden GFCI outlet (that my husband actually located while they were searching together) had tripped, so after pressing the reset button, the problem was resolved. Ryan looked at two additional spots in our home to give us an opinion, without having to do any work whatsoever. No tools, repairs, labor required. He had arrived at 6:05 and by 6:45, he was about to head out when he began a with a casual, Let me just calculate the cost...the charge is $300. My husband asked how he has arrived at this price given he 1) inquired about his hourly rate both via text and on the phone and was informed that he would only incur that cost if repairs were needed and 2) given he was so clear the $175 covered the diagnosis. His response was that he was charging for two hours of time. My husband noted that he'd only been at our home only there 40 minutes and asked him to clarify, reminding him of their conversation. He kept vehemently replying that's the price. Sorry you're disappointed with no justification. Eventually after my husband stood firm, pushing back on him to explain, he started to gradually reduce his price until he was at $200. After a significant amount of back and forth, we finally paid him just to get him out of our home, but the whole experience left a very sour taste in our mouths.

Save yourself the headache. Unless you want to chance having to deal with shady business practices, we do NOT recommend working with Ryan.

The electricians from Highlights who came to our home were simply excellent. They were true problem solvers and worked quickly to diagnose and fix the electrical issue we were having with our HVAC system. They were professional. I would call Highlights again for electrical work.

We are in the process of tearing down a house we recently purchased, and hired Rogelio at Alex Electrical to cut the main electrical line from the pole to the house, as well as remove the cable lines, the electric meter, and the electric box in the house. Rogelio was extremely knowledgeable, very responsive, professional, and got the job done in less time than the estimate. He also mentioned that his company installs outlets, light fixtures, etc. We will definitely be hiring him again in the future for any electrical needs we have. Thank you, Rogelio.

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!

Had an awesome experience with Jake. I got into some trouble trying to swap out a light fixture and created a bit of a wiring mess for myself that he was able to skillfully clean up. He was able to go pop out and buy a replacement light fixture that would fit my junction box and install that too. While he was at my house he added a plug to a closet that we had been wanting installed since we moved in. Super efficient work, very pleasant interactions, reasonable pricing- I will definitely be calling Jake up again for future work.

Tech was on the early side of the arrival window, completed the work quickly, wore shoe covers and a face mask at all times. Highly recommend and will use again in the future.

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!

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.

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!

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've had a number of positive past experiences with Fixer, but this last one did not sit well with me. The team - a fixer and a trainee - took two hours for a 2x 1:1 pendant light swap, and mere minutes after they left I realized they caused another light not to work. I reached out to try and get someone to come back out that day, but no go, so the next day (and some dark cooking) had to suffice. I spoke with the concierge and asked them to, in addition to the person coming to fix the issue the following day, have the manager call me, as I had an issue with how long it took, and the clear slowdowns caused as part of the training process. I don't mind my place being used for training - we all have been there - but not on my dime. Although the issue was fixed the next day and was related to the work that was done by the Fixer team, and I was credited for some of the time taken by the trainee, my request for a manager callback went ignored. Not sure why that is, but since the manager doesn't want to hear my feedback on the experience and the billing situation caused by the trainee, I'll provide it here.
