Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

Stefan had the fastest response time and was available the next day. He fixed a ceiling fan, installed a new track light, and replaced to gfci outlets. He did in just 75 mins. He was a really nice guy and offered to throw the old fixture out for me.

Darrell and team came to install a garage heater yesterday and they did a great job. They were on time, clean, professional, wore masks, and were competitively priced. Not to mention the fact that they're super nice guys. They cleaned up afterward and we are all set to go for a heated winter garage.

Rodrigo came out last Friday and did a fabulous job installing a new front porch light and a new light switch. He came when he said he would and was exceptionally efficient and neat. T&D is the best.

Ted (and son Tom) showed up very punctual, a rarity for any contractor apparently, to their scheduled time. The immediately laid down drop cloths, surveyed what they would need to bring into the home and got to work. They added two outlets in two separate rooms and did so very neatly and professionally. Pricing was a bit higher than I expected but nevertheless they did a professional job and even had to run to HD twice for materials needed as my home gave them extra work to do. All in all I'd recommend. Both wore masks the whole time.

Joe put in a 220 line for me which someone else said would be a problem. Joe figured it out and had the job completed in 2 hours. I definitely recommend him.

First of all, I rarely write reviews but I was so impressed I felt the need to write this one.  I needed a light switch replaced in my kitchen.  Chris responded quickly with a very fair estimate yesterday and was able to schedule an appointment for today.  Chris is professional, courteous, efficient and very reasonable with his charges.  I have already discussed having him replace some light fixtures in my house.  I highly recommend ALC Electric!

I live in a real old house in Oak Park, tried to replace the possibly just as old light fixture on the porch myself and ran into a lot of rust and stripped wires and stuff I was not expecting so I knew I needed professional help. Edward at Greenline had Esteban out here in just a couple of days (would've been even sooner if I was available) and the job took 15 minutes and it looks great!

I am late writing this review, but Ryan recently installed an outlet in my home. He was responsive, punctual and communicative. 10/10 would recommend!

Hands down one of the best companies I have worked with. I had an outage in my attic, which made several outlets and lights not work. I had 5 people come out to check the problem. None of them were able to figure it out. 2 just refused to look into the issue. I went on Yelp and found Highlights Chicago. They were amazing from the initial call. They sent 2 amazing guys, Raul and Delvin, within 24 hours. They were punctual, extremely professional and very knowledgeable. They spent the whole day troubleshooting until they found and resolved the issue. I am beyond grateful to these guys and this company. I already have another project in mind for them. I have owned my home for over 15 years, as a single female I can't tell you how many times I've been screwed over. Ladies, if you are concerned with getting screwed over.. just call this company and you won't be disappointed.

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 were absolutely great to work with. Not only did they do an amazing job, but it was all for a great price. They were tasked with replacing our track lighting with recessed lights, as well as, patching any holes and repainting our entire ceiling. We are beyond satisfied with their work and would recommend them to anyone who needed any sort of electrical or painting work done.

Had an awesome experience with Jake. I got into some trouble trying to swap out a light fixture and created a bit of a wiring mess for myself that he was able to skillfully clean up. He was able to go pop out and buy a replacement light fixture that would fit my junction box and install that too. While he was at my house he added a plug to a closet that we had been wanting installed since we moved in. Super efficient work, very pleasant interactions, reasonable pricing- I will definitely be calling Jake up again for future work.

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.

It was a pleasure to see Ted again when he came to make the estimate, and Carlos and Steve were so expert and thorough. To see my Chicago bungalow abandon its dated ceiling fans, now that I have (very effective) central air, and now to enjoy a very natural looking track lighting, was thrilling. Traci in the office ensuresd closure and follow-through on all steps of the process. As the company has grown through its successes, it still feels like a loving family business.

Could not recommend a better electrician!

I had a desire to install ceiling recessed lights and ceiling fans in a few rooms for some time. After doing some research on Yelp, I found Tom and gave him a call. We were able to set up a in-person consultation soon after, where he walked me through the options for recessed LED lights (4in vs 6in) and spacing of said lights. We agreed on an overall plan and start date.

During the project, Tom and his men were timely, clean, and very efficient in their work. They carefully calculated and marked out the placement of the lights and fan on the ceiling in each room for my approval before starting to cut into the drywall. In the end, they had to cut into a surprisingly small amount of the drywall to put everything together. In the two places in each room that they did have to open up the wall, they carefully replaced the drywall, saving me from having to make any large patches before repainting.

I wanted to use a particular smart dimming switch (Brilliant), but it was backordered and did not arrive in time. Tom hooked up everything using temporary switches and came back later to finish the job once they arrived.

Overall, I would definitely use Tom and his men again! I have a couple other projects around the house I've been thinking of (electric car charger, exterior light, replacing track lighting with more recessed lights, etc.) and plan to use Tom for these projects in the future!

Wonderful communication and service from Frank and his father. We couldn't be happier with the installation of our lights, switches, and other necessary repairs. Would highly recommend them for your future home needs.

Very responsive and responsible. Alex tried to help us trouble shoot over the phone to save us money. When that didn't work he showed up promptly, diagnosed the issue, and fixed the bad breaker.

Best pricing around and great young guy working hard for his business. Highly recommended.

Despite sending them a picture of the exact spot in my wall that I needed patched up, they arrived only to tell me that they actually couldn't patch the spot.  Complete waste of time - spare yourself the headache.
