Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

Stop looking. Hire Stefan.
You won't be disappointed.
I put out my project for several quotes through Yelp, and I got a mixed bag of responses. Stefan was the ONLY contractor who didn't jerk me around.
When he came out to discuss the job, he had a plan, a schedule and I was very comfortable with his approach. Hired him on the spot... cancelled other contractor visits.
The work he did was top notch. He used proper materials, and even stayed late to get the job done. No shortcuts.
Cleaned up after himself even though it was a long day.
Can't say enough good things. Just call this guy.
Look at his other reviews and pics if you don't believe me.

We were having an issue with our AC in one those super hot days in the city. I contacted Sims and sons and they immediately pick up the phone and we had them coming in a matter of hours. They are super professionally and know their stuff. I certainly recommend them.

We requested several quotes for an electrical job at our home- new electrical box installation in a 16' tall ceiling along with a large chandelier-type light.

The quote wasn't the lowest we received, but the company just seemed to understand or communicate better than the other companies.

Rodrigo promptly rang our doorbell at 7am, and assessed our situation. He constructed a scaffold in our stairway for this project.

He treated our house like his own house, and was continually cleaning/vacuuming debris.

For one of our light switches he recommended a wireless switch due to difficulty of box installation, and we love it.

We highly recommend this electrical company and will bring them additional work when we have new electrical jobs. Rodrigo is a superstar electrician and customer service representative. Awesome company, impeccable work!

Ted is great! Just hooked up my dryer in 15 minutes after 2 weeks of dealing with the store we bought it from. Called him and an hour later he was here. Definitely will be using him again.

I just had electrical work done at my home and Joe did a great job! Had at least 4/5 projects which were not large and he was fast and efficient. Will definitely call again for future needs.

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

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

Ryan showed up six hours late. Replace two outlets and charge us $600.

If you need electrician, look elsewhere.

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

Jose and Rodney were absolutely great to work with. Not only did they do an amazing job, but it was all for a great price. They were tasked with replacing our track lighting with recessed lights, as well as, patching any holes and repainting our entire ceiling. We are beyond satisfied with their work and would recommend them to anyone who needed any sort of electrical or painting work done.

Jake came by to install our ventilation fan and a new bathroom vanity. He was super friendly, quick, and reasonably priced. Highly recommend!

I have used Blacklite Electric two times. Neville has been quick to respond to my texts and has scheduled my jobs without delay. He's an honest guy who is fair with the billing. The guys he sends to the job know what they're doing. All in all, very good service.

I don't think five stars are enough to rate them. A class organization from top to bottom. I'm so happy I used them to rid my home of some pesky knob and tube wiring. They really are craftsmen when it comes to the old homes that dominate the Oak Park and surrounding area landscape. I can say that the efforts they exerted to take care of my home were very impressive. I have recommended them to neighbors and will never hesitate to recommend them to anyone who needs to have electrical work done.

A++ in all aspects. I had great pleasure to hire Tom's company for our house project. The project included multiple rooms. Complete Bath and kitchen electrical renovation. Two bathrooms received outlets, switches, can lights and fans. The kitchen received  new can lights and outlets. Living room got new can lights. We also added wired smoke detectors throughout the house. Tom was a total professional when he came in for the estimate. Everything was explained so that there were no surprises any time during the project and he made sure that we understood the work that was going to take place. Prices were very competitive, and work was done in the time promised. Tom made sure that everything was done right, to code and left everything clean and spotless. I would definitely hire again. Highly recommended.

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.

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.

We asked a Fixer first to repair our dishwasher that suddenly stopped draining, and it wasn't clogged. He made some adjustments, showed us what the problem seemed to be so that we would know if it happened again. When he finished, we took him to see a glass shower door that was starting to shift and stick when we tried to open it.

After two trips, the door was fixed. It was a complicated job, and the Fixer who started it, came back when it wasn't quite right.

It was expensive to complete the work, but it was worth it. The shower door was done well and looks good. An earlier attempt to fix that shower door was less than professional.
