Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

Another great install.  He installed two bathroom fans an six recessed ceiling lights in the family room. Excellent work and very professional. Arrived on time and did the work on budget. Highly recommend their service.

I'm a new condo owner and my smoke alarm started beeping like crazy. I thought it must be a low battery, but did not know if it was linked to other condos and did not want to bring the fire department to my house in case it was. The beeping started Monday morning and I called another company  to come the same day. Not only were they late, they said they would not be able to come till the next day (so I and my neighbors would have to endure an evening and night full of beeping). By this time it was 3 pm. Thankfully, I looked online and found Sims and Son. Darryl answered my call immediately and asked me to text him my address. He and his colleague Tim came over immediately after their last job at 6 pm and fixed my smoke alarm in 3 -5 mins. They gave me advice on how to operate it, what batteries to use to stave off the beeping , and some other neat tips for what I could do to enhance my lighting and save electricity. They saved my day. Wonderful company, I will definitely be using them again :)

Shoot out to T&D Electrical for some great electrical work. The business I manage used them earlier today to replace/install a hanging light fixture. Called yesterday & they were out today. Quick & efficient work with nice attention to detail. David was our electrician. We will use them again, for sure!  Price was comparable (w/in $5) of what we paid our previous electrician. Shop & support local!

Scheduled quickly, efficient, completed the work as expected, answered all our questions

Joe was awesome! On time, friendly and extremely efficient. He replaced 5 overhead chandeliers and installed 4 dimmer switches in 2.5 hours. We will call him again for sure and would highly recommend his services.

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.

Hm.  I'm not sure if this company ever served me, but I ended up in a spot on the Yelp website where I had to leave a review or at least stars... so 5 stars or zero stars?  I'm more of a five star person, so there you go.

I have used Ryan for electrical projects at my home multiple times. The first time was for installing a doorbell in a troublesome spot and the second time was for adding additional outlets to key locations in my house. He is knowledgeable, friendly and easy to work with. He very much has a 'teach a man to fish' mentality, which I have appreciated.

He has consistently gotten the job done. I'll be using his services again in the future for sure!

We have used Highlights on a number of occasions and they have provided fantastic service every single time.  Always clean and efficient, their work is second to none.  They are our go-to 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

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!

Recently used Urban Power to have third panel installed at my 2 flat in Logan Square and the needed infrastructure installed to house a new third meter.  I found Jake to be easy to work with. I feel all work was completed satisfactorily and in a timely manner.  I also felt the pricing was fair compared to other quotes I received.  I felt some of the other quotes I received, the companies were trying to over sell me.  Jake quoted the proper materials need to get the job done.  I would gladly use Jake again in the future and recommend him.

After the fan that Blacklite installed crapped out (Home Depot mysteriously discontinued the fan and won't replace), Blacklite looked to repair it, but it had to be replaced. We received same day service from Dennis. He was efficient, pleasant, and quick. I would never think about another electrician!!

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!!

Tom and his crew do such great work! Highly recommend them. They installed 4 outdoor outlets in our yard and also trenched wires underground so they were no longer exposed to the elements. They were on time, flexible, and just care about doing the job right. Tom is a really nice guy who walks you through all the work ahead of time. Don't hesitate to reach out to him!

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!

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.

Issue with fixer is that schedulers and concierge have no idea how long tasks take. My fixer scheduled for 3:30 came at 7:00.  They cannot actually give you an accurate time.

Unfortunately the problem with smoke detector was not fixed. Simple issue of battery replacement was too high to reach. He left and one hour later beeping started again. Disappointing experience. So after $94, I have to hire an actual electrician.
