Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

If I could give more stars I would! Stefan and his staff were EXTREMELY helpful, kind, professional, and quick with the repairs that were needed in my building. I would highly recommend this company for any of your electrical needs!! They even missed Superbowl Sunday to help me out, now that's some great service!! ;) Thank you again AC/DC!

Darrell and his team are the gold standard in my eyes. They are professional, transparent, and, most importantly, they will work with you in all three stages of the service call, starting with clearly outlining the problem, going through various options, and lastly, being willing to work with you if unforeseen issues arise. This is a company I highly recommend to anyone getting (for me ) plumbing services done, but I am sure the electrical side is handled with the same level of professionalism. Sims and Sons made a difficult situation for me easier to handle; This company is definitely on my speed dial.

Thanks, Darell, Mike & Alex

I had T&D Electrical quote for three outside/external flood lights (including one smart one) installed, and they were spot on in their estimate.  Miguel came out and did an excellent job superbly figuring out the best and most efficient way to get power from the inside outside.  I will happily use T&D for all of my electrical needs, as the communication was clear and prompt, and the workmanship top noth.

I called on a Monday and left a message for Ted, 48 hours later I have yet to get a text or a callback.

Quality at affordable prices. Had him do several things including installation and fixing some other electrical issues. Other places quoted weeks to come out, he completed the job in under 7 days. Will definitely call for all future electrical work.

So I just purchased a new home and having some circuit breaker issues. Found Chris on Yelp very nice guy. Very responsive. Came right out, Fix the issue under 15 minutes so I will definitely be calling him back out to finish the work, Definitely give Chris a call or give him a chance if you are having any type of issues with circuit breakers or electrical issues definitely recommend this business. Thanks, Chris

Received great and prompt service from Edward and Julio to install a nest doorbell that needed extra work than the simple install on the packaging. Julio was very respectful of the end cosmetics and worked with us on very professionally the project. Bonus points for mask wearing!

Had Ryan come out to repair a few lights and outlets that weren't working properly. He was able to diagnose the problem and fix the issues. He realized I liked to try my hand at home repairs and gave me some tips and advice for fixing and diagnosing problems myself in the future. Good work by an honest guy.

My husband and I bought our first house this year, and the electricity was crumbling at best. There were rooms and closets with no overhead fixtures at all. To top of off, our electrical box on our exterior was not up to code for reasons I won't get into it here. To sum it up, our house was a huge undertaking.
Baz came to our house and was very pleasant, as we walked through room by room. He took notes, and even returned promptly in the next couple of days when we got cold feet on some of our decisions (where to relocate ext box). He assured us everything was going to look great, and that our ideas, some feeling too big to take on, we're achievable and would be no problem. Not only that, he cleaned up and removed old cords so that we didn't have a rats nest going to the alley. Amazing!
His team, led by Cristobal and Kaplan, and spent about 2-3 weeks working incredibly hard in our house, in the heat of the summer, and full of dust. They added 100 amp circuit, a new electrical box, circuit board, replaced all switches and outlets, and added all my custom overhead fixtures with such care and precision. They were gracious, and patient when I changed my mind on things and added switches, ect. They kept a steady pace the whole time, and were so polite about coming back to our house when light fixtures arrived after our first large initial push. I would 100% recommend them to my friends and anyone else wondering if these guys are the ones for the job. They sure are!

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

A great experience!

Jose from Tweaks & Finishes was very quick to reply to communications and then to submit his bid.

He priced the job very competitively, scheduled it for later that day, arrived a few minutes early.

He unpacked and installed the fixture correctly, carefully, and even requested my confirmation of approval (placement, pendant light height, etc.) at each step.

He worked cleanly, fast, was 100% competent, and very friendly the whole time.

No surprises or disappointments.

Really an exceptional experience.

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.

These guys are incredibly professional and responsive and did an awesome job with some smaller projects for me (replacing and repairing outlets). Neville is easy to work with and his team completed the work quickly.

The crew was knowledgeable and offered us useful advice as they went about the job. After they opened up one of our ceiling fixtures, it stopped working the next day and Neville had his guys out immediately to take care of it. I highly recommend them.

Kinetic to the rescue! Even in the middle of a pandemic,  I was able to get an apt to fix much needed lighting issues  in my house! I have used them once before and was so happy to have them back... even got to meet Ted! So friendly, knowledgeable and fast! I would highly highly recommend Kinetic for anything electrical that you need! Awesome people all the way around!!

Honest, transparent about costs, and delivered excellent work on time for installing an electric car charger. He looked up specs on the car company website, going the extra mile to ensure he did the best work.

Outstanding very communicative on time reliable all above in every category.  Always answers always explains what is needled and why

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.

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.
