Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

ACDC electricity is an amazing company I would definitely do business with them again very professional, straight to the point, good prices, Stephon is the Man he was great to work with.

Darrell was able to fix my breaker which was causing issues with outlets not working in both bedrooms. More importantly, he saved my house from burning down by replacing an outdoor outlet that was full of water and charred. I now have a cover that prevents water from seeping in which means I can enjoy utilizing my outdoor lights without any concern for my safety! Thank you for coming out so quickly and promptly!

We used T & D to install new circuits for our apartment. Marcus came out to review and quote the work.  He was very knowledgable and answered questions in a way a person without any electrical background could understand.

The communication was top notch. Marianne handled the logistics and updates in a very timely manner.

Also, I accidentally overpaid at the site because I forgot about the deposit. She caught it before I did and called me an hour later to refund the amount.  I was floored by how quickly, and proactively they reached out.

Greg was our electrician and he was very quick and efficient.  He finished his work in well under the expected amount of time. He required very little direction, explained what he was going to do and got to work.

The actual cost came in under the quoted amount - which might be a first for me.

Finally, we experienced an issue that didn't show itself until the next day.  I called and they were out immediately the next day and resolved it.

To me this last part was phenomenal.  Sometimes things happen, but it's how people respond to the situation that leaves a lasting impression on me.  Their response was fantastic.  

After everything, it's abundantly clear that they care about their customers.  They are trustworthy, knowledgeable, and make you feel comfortable about the whole process.

I will be using them for all future electrical work and would strongly recommend them to anybody else looking for the highest quality work with the best customer care.

Ted is excellent, he really knows his stuff! He came with in days of providing me an online quote. He was very professional, on time, and very knowledgeable. Reasonable prices and even did a few extra things that I had not mentioned in original quote request. I highly recommend Ted!!!

Great service and work. I highly recommend. Installed power to front of house and a chandelier.

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

Quick reliable professional and reasonable I will recommend and use them in the future

Thorough Professional.

We came to Ryan with a maddening intermittent problem: electricity in parts of a house would turn itself off and then turn itself back on, some highly variable amount of time later.  Some times, hours later.  With this happening more than once a day, the house was basically unlivable.

Ryan was able to quickly track down the problem and, even though it was close to the end of a normal business day, he worked well past that to procure the replacement part and install it that same day.

It's been a week with no further incident, so I'm convinced he found the root cause, and I'm as happy as I can be.

My electrical power went out in my bathroom on the weekend and I called Highlights Chicago on Monday.  They were able to send a tech out within hours.  Jimmy figured out the problem in no time - the electrical outlet was worn out and needed replacing.  The problem was diagnosed and fixed in less than an hour.  Let there be light.  I'll definitely call Highlights Chicago again.

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 are great! We needed more electrical work than we thought, but Jose did not charge more than the original quoted price except for more equipment that was needed for some unforeseen problems that came up. Rodney did a great job painting and even did some minor covering of a small spot of ugly color on my walls. I will soon ask them to install some recessed lighting as they already explained the procedure. What a great team!

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.

Had two small electrical tasks. Contacted Neville who responded quickly and agreed to schedule the work the next day. The electrician arrived during the allotted time and performed the work quickly for the agreed fee. Very pleased with the experience.

We had an electrical issue come up and Kinetic Energy responded immediately. We were under a time constraint and Tracy called back and was able to schedule an electrician the next day. Carlos was able to find the problem and solve it immediately. Both Tracy and Carlos are true professionals. It is so hard to have someone call you back let alone do a great job. kinetic energy did both. They will be our go-to from here on out.

I recently hired this electrician to install a Ring doorbell in my home and I couldn't be happier with his work! He was very professional, promptly arrived on time, and was able to install the device quickly without any problems. He even took the time to explain how the doorbell works and answer any questions I had. The installation itself was seamless and the doorbell works perfectly. I truly appreciate his attention to detail and dedication to providing top-notch service. I would highly recommend this electrician to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled professional. Top-notch service and a true 5-star experience! Thank you, Tom!

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.

Chang was communicative, prompt, and informative. He walked me through my project and gave really honest advice. Fixer is a modern company that truly understands customer service.
