Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

I recently used AC/DC Electrical twice in the last couple of weeks for some routine electrical work (outlets not working, switches, etc.).  Stefan promptly returned my call for a service request and we were able to get something on the calendars quickly. The day of the scheduled work, he was on-time, on budget, and my tenants said his work was well done and fast. I would highly recommend AC/DC for your electrical needs!

Darrell was the answer to my prayers! I own an old building and had a major leak that no one could figure out the cause of. And then along came Darrell and Sims and Sons. After a year of run around it was finally corrected properly. Next we had an old outlet short out. Once again Darell came to the rescue and fixed it. He showed me how a previous handyman had Jerry-rigged the wires and what needed to be done to turn it into a safe, permanently working outlet. I trust Darrell and am so grateful to have found someone honest! I have since had him out to my home, another old quirky building, for both electrical and plumbing issues. I can highly recommend Sims and Sons!

I contacted T & D Electrical to help my condo building address a building violation with our electrical driveway gate.  We required a licensed electrician in order to meet City of Chicago codes and Marcus was the only electrician of about 15 that I contacted who was available and willing to help me.  He was extremely professional from the start.  He scheduled the initial estimate within 2 days of my phone call, he arrived on-time to his appointment and called me to let me know he was on his way.  He was courteous and respectful and extremely knowledgeable about the work that we needed done.  His office staff (Christine & Siobhan) were equally friendly and quickly worked to get us the permit we needed and schedule the repair.  He warned me that it may take 4 weeks before the work could be completed, but it was done in 2 weeks!  The electricians that he sent were kind, quick, and thorough, completing the work in 2 hours, when 4-5 hours was estimated- they also arrived on-time!  The price seemed completely reasonable for the work done and came in at about $300 under the initial estimate.  Every single aspect of my experience with T & D was absolutely outstanding.  I not only wholeheartedly recommend T & D to fellow Chicagoans requiring high quality work, but I can speak for my condo building when I say that we will be using T & D for all of our future electrical needs!

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.

Called right before the holidays and Joe came out right away to Downers Grove! My wife wanted some can lights installed in the kitchen and in our laundry room. He has some great reviews and thats why I chose him.  Absolutely best electrician I've ever hired! He installed 4 can lights in my kitchen and 3 in my laundry room. Joe did a great job with everything, and took care of it in a day! Clean up was  minimal and I needed to do a little patching & painting, but all was ready for Xmas day entertaining. I will be doing about 8 more can lights and a dimmer in my living room shortly and there is no doubt he's doing that! His prices are fair and his work was great! I'm been afraid to write a review because people will steal him and he will be so busy that he won't have time! Great Problems to have! Thanks 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.

Totally recommend if you're in need of any electrical jobs. Edward was great about providing a fair and accurate estimate. Esteban was on time, very professional and did a great job in installing our new living room light fixture. Job required him to move and center a new box on our sloped/vaulted ceilings. Also appreciated the follow-up call to make sure we were satisfied. Couldn't be happier!!!

Ryan responded right away and was at our house in about an hour.  He quickly diagnosed the problem and even made a follow up phone call to provide additional advice on how to handle the ComEd when they arrived and started their work.  Professional, personable, and a pleasure to work with.  Also reasonable.  Definitely recommend him.

My fiance and I bought a new home in May. The 100 amp electrical box was not grounded and we only had a 60 amp service. We called numerous electricians and a few came out to quote us, including Boz (the owner).

All the other electricians that came up were trying to up sell me on usb outlets, to 200 amp service and the electrical box without really telling me why. Boz thoroughly explained everything and even mentioned that if we wanted to save some money then we could just do a 100 amp grounding and 100 amp service and be done with it. In the interim, he even fixed a few items on the 100 amp panel for free. He then explained how the 200 amp service would be a long-term solution, but what he could do is a 200 amp grounding and then we could decide in the future if we wanted to upgrade to the service/panel to 200 amp.

Francisco and team came out to do the grounding. He showed up right on time, was very pleasant and a breeze to deal with.

After seeing the work and how well it went working with Boz/Francisco we decided to go through with the 200 amp service/panel. So, they came out a second time roughly a month after to perform the upgrade. Everything is running great!

For any future electrical work at our home, we will be going with them. Thanks again Boz and Francisco!

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.

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.

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.

They canceled my appointment 10 minutes before showing up because the company didn't have a ladder. Wasted a lot of my time.

Can't say enough good things about Kinetic Energy!  Their communication and customer service are always on point.  We've used them for our electrical needs in our own home and as an interior designer we recommend them to our clients as well.  There quotes have always been affordable and fair.  Thanks so much Kinetic!

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.

Ted changed out fixtures throughout our house, including a difficult chandelier in our dining room. He also fixed a hot outlet and looked at our garage electrical. He was on time, fairly priced, and did great work. We'll be using him again.

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.

The communication from this company is pretty good. We used them for a few projects and 2 out of the 3 times they were on top of it!

I will say, the work was hit or miss. We were impressed by some of it, like dry walling, but painting was spotty. We were trying to sell our house and realtor actually made us have two places repainted after Fixer painted them Not ideal.

Overall, I think it depends on who you get to complete the project. Prices are very reasonable and they have good communication which can be hard to find.
