Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

I really loved the work this company did. They were very smart, able to solve problems that came up, and did all the work perfectly. I love the way my place looks because of their expert installation. I will 100% be using them again.

On a holiday weekend our AC Wiring crapped out and it was 90+degrees. Darrell answered the call himself, was over within an hour and was quick to access the problem. Problem fixed that night! We highly recommend them for help, especially in emergencies!!

Half the side of our kitchen stopped working. No circuit breakers tripped. Assumed it would be $$$$. David showed up right on time and fixed it in under an hour (some melted wires) - and told us what needed to probably be done to fix some wiring that wasn't up to code - with an estimate. Perfection!

I had Ted out to my house in La Grange Park to troubleshoot a couple of outlets that had stopped working.  I am somewhat technical myself, and was able to diagnose the problem, but not locate it.  That's when I texted Ted.  Yes, you can text him directly.  I don't know about you, but I thought that was a great feature; very convenient! So anyway, Ted came out on Monday (I'd originally reached out to him on a Sunday, and while he doesn't do Sunday housecalls (totally understandable) he DID respond to me on Sunday right away, and we set up a time for the next day.  He arrived on time, and I had told him what I had done to investigate (I'd determined that it was a broken neutral somewhere in the conduit feeding these two kitchen outlets, but I couldn't find the break).  He was patient and helpful as I was explaining all of this, and agreed with my assessment.  Since I was curious, I watched him while he worked, and he explained what he was doing the whole time, because he knew I was interested.  While we were discussing this, we also talked about some other improvements that we could make to the electrical at my house (balancing circuits between the two hot feeds coming into my house, and stuck around while I played with different pieces of equipment (I have a lot of computers ;p ) to see how we could save on my power bills.  After we did that, I noticed that my power bills have decreased by about 10%!  He also was willing to stick around and install an motion-sensing light switch that I had been unable to get to work properly.  All of this extra stuff was not discussed ahead of time, but he was willing to take the extra time to help me out.  I have found my electrician for all my future needs.  Ted is great, you should call (or text!) him today!

Joe installed new indoor and outdoor power sources in our home. The price was right, he was punctual, focused and completed the job swiftly. We would recommend his services for your electricity 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.

Greenline was prompt and easy to work with from the start - sent over some times that would work and showed up right on time.

We were having issues with the outlets on one wall going dead and Greenline was able to diagnose the issue quickly and get it fixed. They were also able to assess a standing desk (powered) that had suddenly stopped working and helped us get in contact with the manufacturer to submit a warranty claim on the internal motor components.

Highly recommend to anyone in the Chicago area who needs an electrician.

This man arrived early and told us how to save money rather than rip us off. He shared stories about his own parents situation in a similar older home he rewired himself. Thoughtful and reasonable other electricians were higher tha his estimate by more than 700 plus. He did things right taking his time and showing us exactly what he was doing and why. It was kind of refreshhing to work with him thanks ryan my parents are happy about being able to use the aplliances they wanted so badly.

We needed can lights installed in our living room and called Boz. He came the next day and gave us a quote that was fair and reasonable. He was quick and efficient and set up a time for his guys to come out the following week. The night before they were to come, Boz called and confirmed the time. His guys were on time. They put sheeting up to minimize the dust and did an excellent job installing the lights. We are so happy with how everything turned out! Another contractor who was working on some other things in our house commented that the work was excellent, too. In the process of installing these light fixtures, they noticed that our wiring was really old and advised that we consider replacing it in the future. Boz followed up with us to make sure we were satisfied with the work. If you need electrical work done in your home, you can trust that they will do an excellent job. We will use him again and recommend him to all our friends. An overall excellent experience!

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

Wow! We are so happy with our experience with Tweaks & Finishes.  Jose and Rodney were excellent communicators from start to finish. They listened to what we were hoping to achieve, gave their suggestions, worked speedily but with great precision, and made our place look fantastic!

We had everything from electrical to painting done in our condo, and it all looks and works spectacular. We will definitely be using their services again and HIGHLY recommend them!

Jake came by to install our ventilation fan and a new bathroom vanity. He was super friendly, quick, and reasonably priced. Highly recommend!

Blacklite was great, I would highly recommend them. They were responsive, flexible and accommodating to my schedule. I had three different projects I needed complete and all were quickly and efficiently with no issues, they even gave me a remote for my fan! The guys that came were also very friendly! Will absolutely be reaching out again if my condo or our building needs anything else! Thank you!

Kinetic is second to none! As a Developer & Design Firm owner, I come across many electrical contractors and I can honestly say that my experience with Kinetic Energy as a company, and working with their entire team has been an absolute breath of fresh air! They are currently engaged in our large new construction project in Riverside and have approached every request with enthusiasm and professionalism. Ted was able to work on very competitive pricing and provide exceptional on site service. Beyond this project, I've had to contact them for emergency issues at another property they had not previously worked on. Regardless of that, the attention I received was unmatched. Colin was at the property within a day of my call and was respectful, knowledgeable and identified the issue and provided a quick and immediate solution. I've been so impressed with their work on my developments but even more impressed with Kinetics willingness and ability to extend amazing service to small projects,  including installations in my own home!! Beyond that, Tara the electrician that I've now had at my home several times, is an absolute rockstar! I have a historic home.....and very suspicious electrical components. When I challenged her with replacing some old fans and large pendants, it presented some issues but she was able to devise a solution that brought the connections and my home up to safety. I would highly recommend Kinetic Energy and their team for any of electrical work and I will certainly continue to use them on our developments and personally! Great job!

Tom and his crew do such great work! Highly recommend them. They installed 4 outdoor outlets in our yard and also trenched wires underground so they were no longer exposed to the elements. They were on time, flexible, and just care about doing the job right. Tom is a really nice guy who walks you through all the work ahead of time. Don't hesitate to reach out to him!

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.

Highly recommend for a variety of tasks! We've used Fixer for pluming and thermostat help and have been very pleased! They are the go-to solution for small jobs but bigger than DIY. Edgar was our fixer this morning and was great!
