Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

Stefan installed an EV charger outlet in my detached garage and I am very happy with the work he did.  His first visit was to give an estimate and describe the work to be done. I thought his quote was very reasonable and decided to proceed. We scheduled a date and he came on time and again went through what he will do in detail. He answered all the questions I had and completed the work on time. He paid attention to detail when running a new conduit and made sure everything is working well before leaving. I would definitely hire him again and recommend him to friends.

I had a great experience with Sims and Sons. Scheduling was quick and easy. They showed up to provide an estimate within days and the work was done shortly after that.  Dino and Eli were wonderful! They showed up right on time, were so efficient doing their work and even made a special trip to the store when we needed matching light switches. They were friendly, kind and very knowledgeable. I will definitely reach out the next time I need an electrician.

From price quote to the actual work, T&D electrical was very responsive and knowledgeable. The project we needed help with was to install three ceiling fixtures (including taking down old ones) and replacing two smoke detectors. The staff (Shaina) who helped me with price estimate and scheduling was very good at confirming what's provided vs needed. She also helped manage COI quickly as our HOA requires it for all contractor works. Rodrigo was the electrician who came to our place and did the work. He was very respectful and knowledgeable - he answered my questions patiently and helped provide some tips on replacing halogen bulbs for track lights with LED bulbs. Overall the experience working with T&D electrical was great, and I highly recommend them!

He texted me right away and we set up an appointment, a week out. On the day of the appointment he didn't respond to my text asking him to confirm that he would be here and that he would be wearing a mask. He didn't text or call to confirm or cancel, and he didn't show up. Very disappointed.

Called wire nuts last night and he was at our house the next day. In short order he had our problem, diagnosed and fixed. Would recommend him for your electrical needs.

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

I can't praise this company highly enough! We'd been struggling with a temperamental home-lighting system--in addition to one overloaded socket  from an installation carried out before we moved into the apartment. Thanks to Greenline Electric, perplexing lights are now beaming again, and funky wall fixtures have been normalized! Esteban carried out very complicated work with true expertise, great efficiency, and great friendliness. All very illuminating (!); great!

Ryan is professional, kind and a knowledgeable electrician. He is fast to respond and is often able to come the same day. I highly recommend him- he is our go-to electrician.

I reached out to Boz when another electrician company recommended him to me. He sent Mike to my house the next day. EXCELLENT and AFFORDABLE service. Mike didn't make me feel uncomfortable. I enjoyed talking with him and he worked really hard to get the job done quickly (I had to be somewhere so we only had a short amount of time). I would definitely use this company again and highly recommend them.

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

I wanted to give a big thanks to Jose and Rodney for the fantastic job they did in our home! We had an entire room needing new recessed lighting where there was none before. They got the job done in a timely fashion and the result is beautiful. We also had sconces put in a wall which never had fixtures there before. Several other electricians quoted a similar price as Tweaks and Finishes, but would not do the patch and paint work for the damages done in the process; they said I would have to hire someone else to patch the holes in the wall! Jose and Rodney did it all, from installation, to patching and painting, from start to finish. No one else that I spoke to offered this complete service! These guys are a great team and are great at what they do.

I highly recommend Tweaks and Finishes for any job, big or small, and will be happy to work with them in the future!

Great prices, quick work, friendly guy. Called 4 other electricians and they all quoted me about $100-200 for the same job. Definitely recommend.

No return call.  I think in today's day and age, either answer your phone or give customers the courtesy of a call back either way.

Fair, prompt and courteous. I was very happy with the work they did and would certainly use them again.

I had 3 people come out for discussions on our project and Tom came up with great recommendations for outdoor installation of lights and fixed some landscaping spotlights. He was reliable, helped pick out products and did a great job.  I'd definitely recommend him and will use him for future projects.

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

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.

Called to have toilet fixed because won't stop filling...repair man showed up, BO stunk my entire house up...tells me the filler needs to be replaced and it's a 10min repair...doesn't have parts and wants me to pay $75 an hour for him to drive to two stores and back for material. Costs me more for him to drive around than a 10 minute repair.

Save your time and money, use another company!!
