Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

Stefan did a great job in installing our chandeliers and doing small switch fixes. He explained the problems well wherever we had any complex issue, and gave offered good solutions as well.

I'd highly recommend Stefan to anyone getting electrical work done

Our master bath and kitchen bathroom had a an electrical blow out - we tried nearly everything and finally I called Sims & Sons. Anel and Dylan were highly professional, they even came in with pads around their shoes which was very thoughtful as I was cleaning our home. They resolved within the hour and provided new wiring to the back panel. I am thankful for them and their knowledge and safety procedures.

Rodrigo was extremely knowledgeable, on time, nice, pointed out issues, fixed problem with old electrical line and removing it which is why I called, all within an hour.  Having him quote me on other projects immediately.  Good prices, use them.

Ted and his son were great!  Ted was very responsive in getting me a quote and setting up an appointment time.  He confirmed with me the day of, and showed up on time.  He installed light fixtures and changed a switch for me.  Pointed something out that would have been a huge mistake on my part as to the type of lighting fixture that I had purchased.  Very friendly guys, I will not hesitate in contacting them again in the future for any electrical work.

Joe was fantastic. He corrected on my miswired pantry lights, installed can lights in the kitchen, and rewired the ceiling fan as well. Moving the switches to a new wall he made look so easy. He did this all in one day! My mother came in and said, the lights look like they have always been there. My son came in and said, Where's the dust and mess? Joe also has a cover for his drill that he created himself to eliminate the dust offspray. AAAA++++ professional and a delight to talk with. Will use again and recommend undoubtedly. Go with joe!

For all you single women, first time homeowners, who are getting ripped off out there, search no more. Chris is an honest professional. He's done mutliple jobs at my place now and trust me, I've searched the quotes. His work is clean, up to code, and even educates me on the do's and don'ts. For me, this goes a long way. His communication is exceptional, his thoroughness is easily visible, and he keeps it real. when you find a good contractor you share him, because there are a lot of contractors out there that are so demanding and the job is total trash ass. That's the worst.

All around great first time experience. I called on a cold snowy night and the owner had someone (Leeroy) out to me within a couple of hours. Leeroy was great, and fixed my issue with my outdoor GFCI outlet almost instantly. So thankful to have a great electrician in my phonebook now!

We have an old house that wasn't designed for today's electric needs. Ryan came by and gave excellent, super thorough explanations of everything going on, what would work and what would not, and was conscious of our total cost. 10/10 would recommend.

Installed electrical sub panel, ensured proper grounding, added new dimmers and installed new front porch outlet. Very professional, clean and 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

Rodney and Jose are a great team. The removed a light fixture from a closet header, completed the demo of closet header and moved a slight switch. And then patched the drywall and prepped for paint. So great this duo can complete both the electrical and the drywall repair. Wrapped in one day.

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.

This is the second time that I've used Blacklite Electric for interior lights installation. I have always appreciated how proactive and responsive people are. Neville is great at figuring out solutions through emails and texts and would suggest parts/lights to get before the work. He did a great job replacing my old Under-cabinet fluorescent light and replace it with more modern and energy friendly LED puck lights. The service he provided is fast and professional and the pricing is well-explained. I would definitely use Blacklite again and recommend them.

Kinetic has been great,  as a single mom, who works full time, not in the electrical industry. I am so  grateful to have a company like Kinetic out there.  I am a new home owner, and the home I purchased needed some upgrades. Kinetic responded to my needs, sent someone out immediately. The work was completed in a timely fashion and I was not overcharged,  which was my biggest fear. I will continue to use and recommend Kinetic. If you want fair outstanding service Kinetic won't let you down.

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!

Ted changed out fixtures throughout our house, including a difficult chandelier in our dining room. He also fixed a hot outlet and looked at our garage electrical. He was on time, fairly priced, and did great work. We'll be using him again.

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.

You will get quick email responses but the process is not well managed. First time they sent a guy that was unable to do the requested work. Wasted day. Second time the guy was very nice but I had to provide a ladder (good thing I had one). He ended up doing nice work but the management of the entire process was poor.
