Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

Stefan was fantastic from start to finish. What impressed me most is his attention to communication. Whenever I had a question about the work to be done prior to his arrival, he responded by text within 2 minutes. I never felt left in the dark. As he was completing the work, which was not straightforward and resulted in a need to change course, he was exuded confidence that everything would work out. There was no whining or complaining. He is so very pleasant and I would not hesitate to call him if you need electrical work. I am happy to have found someone like Stefan who is reliable and competent!

Loved that I could reach them first thing in the am.  Told them my problem and they went right out there and guess what?  There wasn't a problem at all.  They reassured me and just charged a fair service fee.  I'm thrilled that no work was needed.  I was out of town and they could have taken me to the cleaners.  But they didn't.  I own a townhouse in Chicago that I rent out and it was Sims to the rescue.  From now on, if I need any plumbing, electric, drywall, anything....they are my go to guys.  PERIOD.  I'm a divorced, single woman who knows NOTHING and they make me feel safe and taken care of.

I had some installation work done recently by T&D for the first time, and they were excellent all around.  Starting with Jenna, who I spoke with to schedule the appointment and pass on the details, and ending with Rodrigo, the tech, they were courteous, professional and competent.  Great work, reasonably priced.  Highly recommend them.

Ted confirmed a day for inspection, but on the day he couldn't promise a time or even confirm if he was going to make it, which burned a lot of my time. He did eventually show, but his inspection took 60 minutes when other electricians inspected in 15. Once finished with the inspection he assured me an estimate. After 3 days I asked when I should expect an estimate and he responded with I'm going to give you a no quote because I'm slammed until October, which completely contradicted what he'd said in person.

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

So I just purchased a new home and having some circuit breaker issues. Found Chris on Yelp very nice guy. Very responsive. Came right out, Fix the issue under 15 minutes so I will definitely be calling him back out to finish the work, Definitely give Chris a call or give him a chance if you are having any type of issues with circuit breakers or electrical issues definitely recommend this business. Thanks, Chris

So I reached out to this company through Yelp about a month ago.
At first they seemed quick to respond and willing to help but I still do not have a response for the work I wanted done.

A gentleman contacted me and asked a few questions and then gave me a time and date to come look at the house for estimates. He was late to the appoint by nearly an hour due to a car appointment running over longer than expected.

He gave me some solid advice saying to look into my internet provide to get the work installed (I did, but tried again with no luck). I did appreciate the recommendation. I thought it was sweet.

After researching my internet provider again. I texted that same gentleman about getting work done.
No response. I texted him again about 2 days later only to be given a number of someone else because he was out of town.

I called the number and left a voicemail only to be never contacted. You win some you lose some.

After removing a fixture we lost power on our entire second floor. It was well beyond y capability as we are in an older house.

I tried several electricians and since it was a weekend nobody responded, even several days after I called.

Ryan picked up and was at my home working on the issue, which was complex, within 2 hours.  He was able to fix our issue and get things working again while also installing the new fixture.

I'd recommend Ryan for any electrical need

Spoke to receptionist and was told I would get a call back. Never did. I guess business is not important to them.
Update: The next day I received a call from Kamal, (hope I spelled this correctly) who apologized and told me the reason why the call had not been returned. He then proceeded to inquire about my electrical issue and asked me to send him a picture of the issue so that he could direct the proper assistance (someone dealing in low voltage) to me. This is a man who cares about his business and I much appreciate his reaching out to me. I appreciate his offer of assistance to direct me to a technician who does deal with my specific issue. I have changed my rating of this business and wish to thank Kamal for his customer care and concern.

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

Would highly recommend. These guys worked around our schedule to get an emergency job done and handle a couple other fixes around our house. Will definitely be calling Tweaks & Finishes again in the future!

Jake and Lenox were a great team- they were efficient and were able to locate the source of our electrical problem. They replaced 2 GFI's and have literally brought light back into our lives! We'll definitely be using them again.

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.

Words can explain how pleased I am with the job done by Team Kinetic Energy.   This is the second time I've used this company and again, I am pleased with what was done.  I will call on Kinetic Energy each time for all of my home improvement needs.

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.

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!

Alex responded to my posting quickly, was clear on costs, and came out at 8am the following day as promised. I gave wrong information on parts and he was ready with solutions to salvage the job and gave great advice. Would definitely hire again.

I booked several services 3 weeks in advance. I gave detail about what needed to be done  and all of it was simple stuff(changing batteries etc). I told them I had high ceilings (estimated at 15 feet actually 13). At 7pm on the  the night before 9am scheduled  visit I got a txt saying we have reviewed and (despite nothing changing since I booked) they would be sending a second fixer at an additional $139//hr.  When I texted back they said that since it was 15 ft  they had now decided a second person needed to hold the ladder at a cost of $139/hr. I wasn't  asked if it was ok. I wasn't asked if the ceiling were really 15 ft( I measured. They aren't)   Needless to say I cancelled this service.
