Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

Chose AC/DC based on Yelp reviews when we were looking to replace our kitchen cabinet puck lights with LED lighting and we're glad we did!  Stefan was great - responded quickly to our inquiry, communicated well about scheduling the installation, quoted a price and job duration which were spot on, and showed up on time.  He put in LED lighting similar to what was on his website (which is worth checking out to get a sense of options).  He was professional, no-nonsense, and really easy to work with.  We're likely to have other lighting and electrical needs for our condo and we will not hesitate to call on Stefan and AC/DC Electrical Construction.

I requested a quote for a lamp bulb flickering issue.  Darrell called me very shortly after and we discussed the issue and potential solutions.  While he offered to make a service call, he also advised that this kind of issue may or may not be worth the service cost based on the value of the lamp.  He also provided some suggestions as to how I could try to address the problem itself.  In the end, I decided to try to resolve the problem myself since the service cost outweighed the lamp value.  However I appreciated Darrell's honesty and valuable consultation.  Will definitely contact him again for future problems.

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 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!!!

Not sure of relationship between reviewer on June 27 and Joe. But I will factually restate what happened on my first and only experience with Joe. He call me at about 11:00 to say he would arrive in 20 min. He arrived about 11:20. Fixed 2 bad switches easily. Then started on the main project, a lighting fixture on our kitchen ceiling. It was a fluorescent fixture with 8 bulbs, custom done. He tried to fix it and recommended upgrade to LED. That did not work. He then said that he could not fix it and I would have to buy a new fixture. He then did proceed to try to fix it more and cut 11 wires (I still have the 11 wires he cut out) while swearing. He then said that it could not be fixed, and we would have to buy a new one. He then charged me $150. I asked for a receipt of labor and parts. He said he did not do that for such a small job. I asked how much the labor was for 1 hour - it was now 12:20. He said he arrived at 11:00. I reminded him that he called me at 11:00 and arrived at 11:20. He then dropped the price to $125 - so I assume $75 for labor (what he had told me his hourly rate was) and $50 for parts (parts being 2 small plastic light switches) A place he recommended to call to get a light replacement confirmed my belief that this would be custom new lighting and extremely expensive. I called another electrician, who came over, replaced the wiring that was cut by Joe and had the light working that day with much better lighting than the fixture had previously. This new electrician gave me an appropriate bill with labor and parts appropriately identified (cheaper hourly rate than Joe I must add). So not sure who Aaron is but given his quick response to my review, I am a little suspect. Do what you want - just want others to avoid my experience.

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

Hm.  I'm not sure if this company ever served me, but I ended up in a spot on the Yelp website where I had to leave a review or at least stars... so 5 stars or zero stars?  I'm more of a five star person, so there you go.

Ryan is kind of a genius of electrical stuff. He fixed my kitchen outlets (1/2 my house plugs didn't work) and added light fixtures.  I plan on hiring him again.

FYI: when my kitchen outlets weren't working, I had another well-rated company come here.  They quoted me $4500, and I'm still not sure if they actually figured out what was wrong.  Ryan came and fixed the issue for much less and way quicker.

I called Highlights Chicago late Monday night because the conduit pipe attached to our two flat building came down due to ice buildup from all the snow. Within an hour, received a call from Boz to discuss the job details and he came out the next morning to survey the problem and provide the job proposal. Today, our electrician Daniel came to the property and fixed our issue. The team was very professional and job was completed in a timely manner.  I am very happy with the service from Highlights Chicago from start to completion of the job.

Rogelio did a good job on our building. Repaired some outlets, in the apartment, garage, and outside of the building. He shared photos of his progress. We talk over the phone to clarify details and got a quote on the spot for additional work that was necessary and was finished the same day after getting the parts needed.
He is also bilingual, what helps communicating easier for a larger population group.
All good overall.

They did an awesome job with a painting project at my townhouse! The painting looks great, and they were very reliable and pleasant to work with! There was clear communication throughout the process, and the job was finished very efficiently and professionally. I would highly recommend and hire again in the future!

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!

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 continued to use Kinetic for a slew of electrical projects around my home until I moved June 2016. The projects included several repairs, the replacement of numerous lighting fixtures, and the installation of an electric baseboard heater in a finished basement. I am sure the total spent far exceeded several $k, and I am sure I got great value for my $$.

During the course of my time working with Kinetic, I met several of his crew members and came to trust each and everyone of them. But no matter what, Ted, the owner, always answered the phone, returned calls promptly, scheduled all projects, and dropped by the house often to inspect work. I will miss the reliability and craftsmanship of Kinetic. I wish them the best.

I had 3 people come out for discussions on our project and Tom came up with great recommendations for outdoor installation of lights and fixed some landscaping spotlights. He was reliable, helped pick out products and did a great job.  I'd definitely recommend him and will use him for future projects.

Outstanding very communicative on time reliable all above in every category.  Always answers always explains what is needled and why

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've had a number of positive past experiences with Fixer, but this last one did not sit well with me. The team - a fixer and a trainee - took two hours for a 2x 1:1 pendant light swap, and mere minutes after they left I realized they caused another light not to work. I reached out to try and get someone to come back out that day, but no go, so the next day (and some dark cooking) had to suffice. I spoke with the concierge and asked them to, in addition to the person coming to fix the issue the following day, have the manager call me, as I had an issue with how long it took, and the clear slowdowns caused as part of the training process. I don't mind my place being used for training - we all have been there - but not on my dime. Although the issue was fixed the next day and was related to the work that was done by the Fixer team, and I was credited for some of the time taken by the trainee, my request for a manager callback went ignored. Not sure why that is, but since the manager doesn't want to hear my feedback on the experience and the billing situation caused by the trainee, I'll provide it here.
