Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

I needed a couple things done. I had a GFI that kept breaking. AC/DC was prompt and replaced the GFI with a heavy duty one and voila no problems since!!

Additionally I wanted a smart doorbell installed and they did a fantastic job snaking the low voltage wire to get the electricity to the doorbell so you can't see it!!

I'm very pleased on both jobs!!

Darrell was excellent.  Referred by a friend and probably the third electrician I have had at my house for various things (hanging a tv, setting up lights in bedroom etc).   He was head and shoulders above them.   I had what looked like a simple install of a fan.   He told me exactly which fan would fit in my tight space and had to do some creative work in the ceiling.   The builder made a short cut and out two pieces of 2x4 above the drywall and installed the cheap $20 ones from Home Depot 10 years ago.   He made some cuts and reworked the problem.   So I had him install my ring security cam on the third floor.  

Super professional, knowledgeable beyond plug and play and really efficient.   I will no longer have to take a chance and hire some guy.   I erased the other two companies who did ok work.   I will be passing his info onto friends.   He's busy and charges accordingly.   But trust me having electric done wrong or by a guy without his experience will come back to bite you.   Use him

We had some minor electrical work to be done. Everything was excellent, from booking the appointment to the work done by David. Highly recommend and will definitely use again.

Highly recommended. Came out same day to fix a broken circuit breaker. Nothing but compliments for this man. Will use again. Thanks!

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.

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

Esteban came out on a weekend, and was quick, fair and thorough.
Edward replied quickly and was completely honest with what needed to be done then, and what would need further review.

A++

Ryan responded right away and was at our house in about an hour.  He quickly diagnosed the problem and even made a follow up phone call to provide additional advice on how to handle the ComEd when they arrived and started their work.  Professional, personable, and a pleasure to work with.  Also reasonable.  Definitely recommend him.

Working with Boz and his team was amazing!!  Boz was responsive and his team took extremely good care of the necessary electrical work and repairs needed in my mother's home. Listen up readers, I trusted them with my mother!! And they didn't disappoint.

Thanks Boz and team. It was great working with you

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

Overall great experience with Jose the owner.  I am an active duty Solider currently not in the Chicagoland area and Jose was able to assist with a dry wall repair in my ceiling.  He updated me through the process was ok with communication via text and phone.  This process was super easy especially considering I was not present on site.  I highly recommend them.

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!

Neville has done a few jobs for us over the years. He did work for my friend's mastering studio, and has always got the job done quickly, keeping the costs very reasonable. Work is always tip top, and will give excellent advice. Great guy, highly recommended.

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.

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!

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.

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.

This company is awful. I've tried using them 3 times, each with terrible results. They have zero communication when they are running late. On two separate occasions, an hour had passed with no fixer and no update, only for this company to cancel and try to reschedule. Terrible and unreliable. Do not use them!
