Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

I hired Stefan to install a 240v outlet in my garage, replace some faulty GFCI outlets and install a few smart switches. He was responsive, transparent and efficient. The 240v outlet required a breaker which wasn't readily available but he did the research and found it a distant home depot which added incremental hours to job. He continued to maintain a positive attitude throughout the process and finished the job during the same day.

Highly recommend his services!!

Darrell and gang were fast, polite, and friendly. They wore masks and asked whether they should wear shoes in my house. What was best though is that it was easy to communicate with him over text, both about the work and about arranging a time to visit. I'd use them again.

T&D installed a wall heater in our second bedroom and was very professional and super quick. We were impressed with their knowledge and their work ethic - while we rent right now, if we were to buy a property and needed electrical work done, they'd be our first call!

Ted is the best, fit us into a very busy schedule and did great work as always.  Gets the job done quickly and right and at a great price.  Highly recommended A+++

Joe installed new indoor and outdoor power sources in our home. The price was right, he was punctual, focused and completed the job swiftly. We would recommend his services for your electricity needs.

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.

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!

These guys are incredible - great service, value, and unlike many contractors they take the time to really explain what they are doing, and why it is important. My partner and I recently purchased a 100 year old Chicago 2-flat that we thought needed a bit of work but, as it turns out, is one of those buildings where the previous owners thought they knew best and made slapdash DIY repairs/upgrades that are at best mediocre and at worst extremely dangerous. The Highlights team has already helped us bring the electric in the two flats up to code, disconnected the bonkers wiring in the basement in preparation for a demo and rebuild, and, when we realized the 8 ceiling fans throughout the building were disconnecting from the ceiling and hazardous to operate, came in and serviced and anchored all of the fans (apparently the previous owners had cut holes in the ceiling, connected the wiring, and called it a day). Then, when our demo team accidentally cut the power to our boiler furnace in January cold, they were able to get people out to us the day we called,  earlier than their estimated time by 40 minutes, and the heat back up immediately. Sometimes they are a bit slow to respond, so follow up is important, especially right now when COVID is running rampant and making people call out sick and isolate, but these guys are worth waiting for, and they will come through in a crunch. As we continue to repair and renovate our home, we will continue to call on these guys, and I will be recommending them to anyone in their service area. Thank you, Baz and team!

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.

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.

Neville's crew did an amazing job with two major projects I had.

First project was to install outlets near the toilets in two bathrooms (to allow for the use of Toto Washlets). This required entirely new wiring and attaching to existing electrical runs. Did a great job with minimal impact to the small patch of drywall that needed to be removed to get to the existing wiring.

Second project was to install cable runs to hide wires for a wall mounted TV.

Both of these projects went great, took less time than expected, and were priced at a very fair rate. Would highly recommend!

Amazing service! If I can give them more stars I would! This was the best experience ever. Being a first time home buyer, Danny was amazing. He made it so easy and was so nice. This company provided fast service and some of the best customer service I have ever experienced. If you are looking for some work done, look no longer!

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!

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.

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.

I'll start with the pros - these guys had availability to help with fixing up our apartment amidst a national labor shortage.  The availability of services was also great, and finally, the quality of the work was commendable.  Very well-done, no complaints whatsoever.

And the reasons why I would urge you to take your business elsewhere:

1) The company definitely has a startup vibe and as a result, we couldn't get anyone on the phone.  After multiple attempts.  I tried texting the # they have on the website and no response (who texts about important stuff anyway).

2) We were WAY OVERCHARGED for some simple services.  Replacing a toilet handle + replacing several outlet covers (wall plates) costs...guess how much?  $200?  $500?  Try $1,100.

Kind of unbelievable!
