Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

Stefan was prompt from beginning to end.  He responded in a timely manner to the initial inquiry for quotes on Yelp, and was timely in all follow up communications.  He provided a fixed fee for the work.

He came on-time and rapidly assessed the work to be done (replacing under cabinet lights, replacing wall switch). He also provided an alert on a GFCI wall switch that was likely to fail in the near future.  I happened to have a spare outlet, which he installed for no added cost. - saving me a future trip and inconvenience when the outlet failed.

He worked quickly and cleaned up the countertops (from dust when drilling) when he was finished.  He explained the controls on each fixture, as well as noted that the dimmer switch causes a buzzing sound from the lights (Home Depot told me that this was the correct switch for the lights, turns out it is not - it works fine, there is just that buzzing sound).

Stefan was a pleasure to work with - I recommend his services.

I just hired them to come back and install lights in our other bathroom. Attaching another picture as they turned out great!

Great customer service!  From the time I made the initial call Marianne very friendly and helpful.  She set up an appointment for Marcus to give me a proposal.  Marcus explained the work that would be done.  Rodrigo and Christian completed the job cleaned up and asked if everything was done to my satisfaction.  Do not hesitate to call!  The communication from start to finish was outstanding.  They sure know that customer service goods a long way!

Thoroughly knowledgeable and dependable. I live a an 80 year old house with a mix of  80 year old wiring and some newer wiring. Had a switch blow, found the problem, fixed, didn't overcharge and out of our hair in a couple hours. Definitely recommend Ted from Honey Do.

Great experience. Very punctual, professional, and knowledgeable. We had our issues taken care of within an hour. We were very impressed.

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.

Edward was awesome! He was very helpful and answered all of my questions. Very communicative! He and his team installed five pot lights and a second switch in our hallway. They did a wonderful job and was incredibly efficient. We love our new lights!

Me-can you come over and give me an estimate on a easy open ceiling basement to update some old lights with new up-to-date lights,I'm less than 4miles from you:   Ryan,sure but it's $200 for a diagnostic fee!  Omg!! This guys a jabroni,is that how you make money instead of actually doing the job

They helped me troubleshoot an electrical issue, wore a mask, and took off their shoes.  Great service.

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

Wow! We are so happy with our experience with Tweaks & Finishes.  Jose and Rodney were excellent communicators from start to finish. They listened to what we were hoping to achieve, gave their suggestions, worked speedily but with great precision, and made our place look fantastic!

We had everything from electrical to painting done in our condo, and it all looks and works spectacular. We will definitely be using their services again and HIGHLY recommend them!

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.

When Neville arrived I was impressed by his professionalism and easy demeanor.

We had two problems going on:

(1) The lighting fixture under the kitchen cabinet over the sink--We couldn't get the light to turn on. I thought it may have had something to do with the ballast.

(2) The ceiling fan in the bedroom was not working properly and making clicking sounds. The dome for the light housing was next to impossible to get off if we ever needed to change the bulb.

Now before I get into why you should like this company, I want to point out that we had a contractor who came by to do some work on our unit about two weeks ago. He demonstrated no professionalism; lied about what he did; over-charged for his services and did a half-assed job--leaving one of the two light switches disabled when he left. Also, he gave an assessment of the ceiling fan and said that it would be very expensive. He was scheduled to come back (with parts that he purchased) and take care of the ceiling fan. Unfortunately, people like this never show up on the radar screen on places like Yelp--they are a hole in the wall and generally give the industry a bad name. Realizing that the landlord was going to have this guy come back, I  informed the landlord of the shoddy services performed and that he was probably being overcharged--which he was. The landlord started searching for another contractor.

After showing Neville the problem with the kitchen fixture, he had it figured out in less than ten minutes. Problem solved! loose wire. No parts. Very little labor. Smart trouble-shooting.

The ceiling fan was a bit more tricky. The dome had to be unscrewed and required a bit of tenacity as well as finesse. Dome light with a bit of work was removed. Taking apart the fan motor, he was able to trouble-shoot where the clicking was coming from and correct the problem. With the fan being as old as it was it was determined that it should be replaced. But because we rent out the condo, it was fine just the way it was so long as we did not have the fan set to maximum speed. Besides, with fall here and winter approaching we really didn't the fan that much anyway. But since he fixed the problem with the clicking we have used the fan at night for circulation and it is whisper-quite.

At the end of the job, which took less time than I thought, he didn't have to replace anything. No parts to replace--just the labor. Blacklite has probably saved our landlord several hundred, if not thousands of dollars, because Casablanca fans are not cheap.

I know I was probably a bit more detailed in this review than I perhaps needed to be, but I just wanted to compare the services of a contractor that has great customer service skills, professionalism and knows his trade compared to a contractor that doesn't and is only out to get rip a hole in your pocket.

When we move and get our own place, this company is definitely on my list as a keeper. Thanks again Neville for a great job even though I don't own the place.

The two people who came to install a ceiling fan, two sconces, and add a switch in a vintage apartment were efficient and knowledgeable. $125/worker/hour which seems like the standard rate, with no dilly-dallying.

TOM Electric Services is an excellent company for electrical repairs. The electricians are extremely knowledgeable and experienced. They provide great customer service and have always been able to answer questions, solve problems, and other issues with my electrical system. I highly recommend them!

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.

It took 2 techs to visit and hang 3 pendant lights and run a new outlet, WTF? Twice the estimated time and overv$1,000!
I asked that the first tech return, but no and  the second guy spent 2 hours troubleshooting the problem.
Service is a nice and convenient concept, but I'll hire professional next time.
Both gentlemen were nice and professional, but neither worth $100+/hr.
