Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

I cannot say enough AMAZING things about Stefan and the work he does. 100% WOULD RECOMMEND! We recently moved into a new home in the Lakeview area and needed quite a bit of electrical work done - moving a chandelier (in our main living/dining area) and several other fixtures (both inside and outside) as well as pulling a new 220V line to our roof deck. Given the chandelier was located in such a central area, I was nervous to work with someone whose craftmanship I had not seen before - but it was pristine! You would never know the ceiling was cut into and the fixture moved several feet because Stefan is so talented. Additionally, Stefan made a late-night house call for us to fix an issue we had with an appliance on our roof and stayed until the issue was completed, even in the dark and freezing cold, just to make sure the issue was truly fixed and we weren't left in a bind. He's a great guy to work with, is very prompt/easy to schedule, and I'd trust him with any job! We've referred him to several of our neighbors and they all have had excellent experiences as well.

Darrell is awesome! He totally saved the day when we were having trouble wiring and hanging a fan. He installed it in about 15 minutes and fixed a couple of broken outlets while he was at it. He took the time to explain to us our options and made sure we understood what he was telling us. We will absolutely call Darrell again next time we need an electrician!

This company went above and beyond. Not only did they upgrade the electric box and service as they were supposed to, but they also added 3 extra small outlets for my cable service and other things that now look awesome. Before they arrived the electrical closet down stairs was a mess, now it looks great! Thanks guys!

Responded to quote request very quickly.  They were able to come out for the work the next day.  Completed the task quickly and efficiently. Very satisfied.

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

I reached out via Yelp on a Friday, and Chris came out on Saturday to take a look and provide an estimate (work across two units in our multi-family building). His prices were reasonable and we were able to get scheduled within a few days. He and his team did high quality work very efficiently. We'll definitely call him next time we need electrical help!

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

We were really optimistic after reading the reviews for Ryan.

After we recently experienced a blackout in our master bathroom, and after my husband checked the fuse without success, I went to Yelp where I came across Ryan's profile. The good: he was responsive and was able to come same day!

Unfortunately, his visit did not at all live up to the reviews here or the expectations we'd aligned on via the phone prior to his arrival. When my husband called and spoke to him earlier in the day, Ryan was very elusive when asked about his hourly rate should repairs be required. We should've noted this as a red flag, but we figured we could at least get a diagnosis and then make an informed decision about how to proceed. When pressed, Ryan claimed his fee just to show up and diagnose the problem would be $175. That felt a little steep, but we agreed to that pricing after he explicitly confirmed that cost would go toward any repairs that might be required. After arriving at our home (and after looking around and telling us we had a really nice place/asking what we did for a living...) Ryan ultimately didn't honor that conversation.

It turns out the problem was a hidden GFCI outlet (that my husband actually located while they were searching together) had tripped, so after pressing the reset button, the problem was resolved. Ryan looked at two additional spots in our home to give us an opinion, without having to do any work whatsoever. No tools, repairs, labor required. He had arrived at 6:05 and by 6:45, he was about to head out when he began a with a casual, Let me just calculate the cost...the charge is $300. My husband asked how he has arrived at this price given he 1) inquired about his hourly rate both via text and on the phone and was informed that he would only incur that cost if repairs were needed and 2) given he was so clear the $175 covered the diagnosis. His response was that he was charging for two hours of time. My husband noted that he'd only been at our home only there 40 minutes and asked him to clarify, reminding him of their conversation. He kept vehemently replying that's the price. Sorry you're disappointed with no justification. Eventually after my husband stood firm, pushing back on him to explain, he started to gradually reduce his price until he was at $200. After a significant amount of back and forth, we finally paid him just to get him out of our home, but the whole experience left a very sour taste in our mouths.

Save yourself the headache. Unless you want to chance having to deal with shady business practices, we do NOT recommend working with Ryan.

I've used Highlights for two projects at my home.  I couldn't have had a better experience both times.  We had Jimmy as our lead tech for both jobs.  Both times we were provided a fair quote, quick and professional work.  Boz and Kamal in their office are great as well! Earlier this year they replaced a kitchen light fixture, dinning room light fixture, and repaired a garage light.  On this visit they repaired a doorbell connection and replaced the existing bell with a new bell.  I would  very much recommend them for future electrical work.

Great job all the way around!!! Excellent work, fantastic attention to detail. Am definitely going to hire again.

Rodney and his team did a wonderful job painting our entire condo! The walls needed painting and caulking in some spots and now the walls look brand new. They were very clear about communication, responsive, and reliable. They also painted everything more quickly than expected, which was great! They covered all of our things nicely and I love how our walls look now! They are also covid-safe. I am so happy we went with them and would definitely hire them again for future painting needs.

Jake came to fix an electrical issue on our rooftop. He was able to quickly identify the problem and address it. He was very friendly and reasonably priced. I definitely recommend!

Neville was awesome! Easy to communicate with via text, and fixed our light fixture quickly. Definitely would use Blacklite again.

We've used Kinetic Energy for some small jobs and liked them very much.  Just recently we hired them to (1) to remove an existing dual bulb motion sensor floodlight and then, in it's place, set up a Ring-brand motion sensor with a camera and floodlights on the alley side of our garage, and (2) install a Ring-brand doorbell camera/motion sensor on our front door.  The work included making sure both units were connected to our WiFi and working properly.  We got an estimate for the work weeks before we could get on the schedule.  Today we got the invoice for the completed work, and it was exactly the same amount as the estimate.  The installer Steve was very friendly, efficient, explained well what he was doing and didn't leave so much as a speck of dust when he was done.  This is an Oak Park business, owned by Oak Park residents.  SHOP LOCAL!

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.

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.

Outstanding customer service!  I needed same day service at my home.  While the Fixer could not come that day, they gave me the names and numbers of other reputable electricians in the area.  I was really impressed with their helpful service, and I would certainly come back to them.  They deserve to be the top of the Yelp list.
