Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

Very happy with AC/DC, Stephan, his work, follow up and pricing.  We needed to update some old lights and failed wiring in our practice.  First, we reached out to a number of electricians requesting estimates.  Stephan was quick to respond and offered a convenient time to meet.  His estimate was thorough, clear, and fair.  He recommended a great solution and timetable. Within a short few days  he was able to do the work in a timely, quick and professional way.  He even did some touch up painting around the newly installed exterior lights.  The job site was also cleaned and left in perfect condition.  The job looked great except for one of the back security lights it seems that the inside wiring was faulty and did not provide power.  Stephan was quick to follow up and came right out to find and fix the problem.  We couldn't be happier or give a higher recommendation to Stephan and AC/DC Electric.

We had an electrical emergency with smoke filling our basement and no obvious source - scary!! I called Sims and Sons and they got here amazingly fast. Masked as appropriate, professional, courteous, diagnosed the problem quickly, and fixed it plus bonus points for educating us on what happened exactly and what we needed to do to prevent further issues. They will be my go-to company for electrical and plumbing going forward!!

We purchased a 2-flat building and T&D Electrical helped us get up to code in order for ComEd to install a permanent connection. Marcus was incredible -- while we initially experienced issues with the ComEd inspector (requiring that we install a lattice on our 2nd level porch to make incoming power lines inaccessible), which delayed completion, Marcus helped us see the project through to completion. He had a carpenter come over and install the lattice, communicated with ComEd, and was at the property multiple times -- to meet the carpenter and to meet the inspector. And we are now completely up to code, having passed ComEd's inspection. Thank you Marcus and T&D Electrical for your superb work ethic and dedication!

Thoroughly knowledgeable and dependable. I live a an 80 year old house with a mix of  80 year old wiring and some newer wiring. Had a switch blow, found the problem, fixed, didn't overcharge and out of our hair in a couple hours. Definitely recommend Ted from Honey Do.

Last month Joe replaced our old fuse panel with a new 30 circuit 100 amp panel, including new service line and placement outside.  He responded very quickly to our request for a review of the job site and provided a very reasonable quote for the job.

The work was completed as described and on time - he even threw in an extra GFCI socket to boot!  The village inspector complimented the work and gave us an immediate approval.  

Joe is great to work with and I will definitely call him again if/when I need any electrical work done in the future.  I highly recommend Joe.

Christian was responsive and professional. He fixed the issue quickly and within 24 hours of requesting the quote on Yelp.

Edward and his crew had been exceptional.  They worked on our investment property to bring all electrical issues to code compliance.  I can't say enough about Edward, he is honest, goes the extra mile to make sure everything is completed with promptness.   He understood our deadlines and needs, he made it work no matter how challenged he was.   Greenline Electric is very reasonably priced and provided a very fair estimate.   Edward puts his customers first and did not fear the many challenges he was faced with.  Edward is knowledgeable about his work, keeps customers well informed,  professional and an absolute delight to work with.  I would highly recommend Edward and Greenline Electric for all your electrical needs.  

Thank you Edward!

Thorough Professional.

We came to Ryan with a maddening intermittent problem: electricity in parts of a house would turn itself off and then turn itself back on, some highly variable amount of time later.  Some times, hours later.  With this happening more than once a day, the house was basically unlivable.

Ryan was able to quickly track down the problem and, even though it was close to the end of a normal business day, he worked well past that to procure the replacement part and install it that same day.

It's been a week with no further incident, so I'm convinced he found the root cause, and I'm as happy as I can be.

Highlight Electric does excellent work. Mile and Gig have done more than one job for me and they are highly skilled in their craft and very professional. They troubleshooted an electrical issue I was having with dimming lights and addressed my issue letting me know  what they were doing every step of the way. They fixed some other quirks they uncovered along the way and they labeled my electrical panels. I can now rest assured my electrical is safe and my problem is correctly addressed. I highly recommend this electrical company and their crew.   They respond very fast and have very fair prices. It is so good to have found my forever electricians....

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.

Jake and Lenox were a great team- they were efficient and were able to locate the source of our electrical problem. They replaced 2 GFI's and have literally brought light back into our lives! We'll definitely be using them again.

This is the second time that I've used Blacklite Electric for interior lights installation. I have always appreciated how proactive and responsive people are. Neville is great at figuring out solutions through emails and texts and would suggest parts/lights to get before the work. He did a great job replacing my old Under-cabinet fluorescent light and replace it with more modern and energy friendly LED puck lights. The service he provided is fast and professional and the pricing is well-explained. I would definitely use Blacklite again and 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!!

I recently hired this electrician to install a Ring doorbell in my home and I couldn't be happier with his work! He was very professional, promptly arrived on time, and was able to install the device quickly without any problems. He even took the time to explain how the doorbell works and answer any questions I had. The installation itself was seamless and the doorbell works perfectly. I truly appreciate his attention to detail and dedication to providing top-notch service. I would highly recommend this electrician to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled professional. Top-notch service and a true 5-star experience! Thank you, Tom!

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.

Katie and D'Angelo were total pros.  They wore booties to protect my flooring/carpet... they seemed to have every fix-it tool known to man and womankind.  Katie even has this intense infrared light leveler that was very cool.  

They hung an extremely large mirror over my couch and it looks awesome.  It makes the room.  And I never could have hung this mirror by myself.  

You guys only get five stars because Yelp doesn't allow 100.
