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.

Very happy we contacted Sims and Sons for our projects. We needed a couple ceiling fans removed and replaced, as well as several outlets, including safety, changed out. Elvir did a wonderful job and it was done carefully but quickly. Also pleased that we contacted Darrell on a Saturday and had an estimate, the job scheduled, and everything fully completed by that Tuesday. Highly recommend and we will be using them again in the future!

We had an inspection report on a new Home which called out a few electrical items that needed attention. I found a recommendation for T&D on Facebook & got them on the job. The whole experience was excellent, from the booking to the arrival & completion of the work. David, the electrician, was helpful & knowledgeable.

I would recommend T&D Electrical without hesitation.

Very satisfied with Ted's service and professionalism. He responded quickly, quoted a fair price for the work, completed the job right away and left the work area clean as a whistle. I have found my new electrician!

I contacted them with some pictures for a quote on some minor work. I got a prompt reply telling me that no significant work was needed! Thus while I did not end up hiring them, I am extremely satisfied with their service. I definitely plan on getting quotes from them in the future!

First of all, I rarely write reviews but I was so impressed I felt the need to write this one.  I needed a light switch replaced in my kitchen.  Chris responded quickly with a very fair estimate yesterday and was able to schedule an appointment for today.  Chris is professional, courteous, efficient and very reasonable with his charges.  I have already discussed having him replace some light fixtures in my house.  I highly recommend ALC Electric!

Installed 2 outdoor outlet boxes on rooftop deck. Excellent work. Clean and paid attention to the details. Highly recommend.

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.

Daryl and Raul came and fixed some electrical work for me in my home. They were knowledgeable and  very professional. They do great work.

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

Fantastic guys. Knowledgeable and experienced. Upfront pricing unlike when I reached out to Jiffy (an online service provider). On-time and was totally professional and I absolutely love my installed dining room light. I will be using them when I move into my new home.

Needed a Tesla wall charger installed in our garage.  Jake showed up on time and offered a few different options with full explanation of each.

Once we agreed on scope and price he went to work.  You could tell he has installed a ton of these.   Job was completed in a timely manner and he left the area cleaner than when he started.  

Charger has been used daily for a few months now without issue.  Would recommend.

Neville and I exchanged no less than a dozen emails over the course of two months while my wife and I tried to decide on lights over our kitchen island. He checked out a ton of different links I sent him, asking the right questions to save us from potential problems and helping us understand our options.

Today he and Johnny came out and installed the track lights over the island as well as 3 other lights. Job well done.

We turned to Kinetic Energy a couple years ago on the recommendation of a neighbor, after another electrician did some inadequate work.  They're now the only electricians we'll work with.  They have installed lights and ceiling fans and wired our 1914 house for ethernet.  

Recently we had a couple scary incidents with the old cloth-covered wires... what seemed like shorts in two different spots in the house.  They showed up same-day to fix everything, and took extra time to explain to us what had happened.  It's a relief to know we're safe in our house!

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.

This is a great handyman service - I had a leaking toilet that they came out to fix. 8 months later, the problem recurred, and I was dreading paying for someone come out again. I spoke with Fixer and they were happy to do a follow-up repair free of charge. Really quality customer service!
