Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

Stefan installed an EV charger outlet in my detached garage and I am very happy with the work he did.  His first visit was to give an estimate and describe the work to be done. I thought his quote was very reasonable and decided to proceed. We scheduled a date and he came on time and again went through what he will do in detail. He answered all the questions I had and completed the work on time. He paid attention to detail when running a new conduit and made sure everything is working well before leaving. I would definitely hire him again and recommend him to friends.

I called Sim and Sons to do some inspection and repair work after having water damage to my condo from the unit above. I was able to call and get someone to my house in less than 24 hours. They were very communicative before and during the visit and made an effort to make sure I understood everything that was being examined/replaced/recommended. Highly recommend and would call again!

T & D was great for some basic electrical work in our home. They were very responsive, easy to communicate with, and got the job done quickly. I found them on Yelp and hired them based on their ratings, and would definitely use them again.
Marianne, Marcus, and Greg were all a pleasure to work with.

Ted confirmed a day for inspection, but on the day he couldn't promise a time or even confirm if he was going to make it, which burned a lot of my time. He did eventually show, but his inspection took 60 minutes when other electricians inspected in 15. Once finished with the inspection he assured me an estimate. After 3 days I asked when I should expect an estimate and he responded with I'm going to give you a no quote because I'm slammed until October, which completely contradicted what he'd said in person.

Called right before the holidays and Joe came out right away to Downers Grove! My wife wanted some can lights installed in the kitchen and in our laundry room. He has some great reviews and thats why I chose him.  Absolutely best electrician I've ever hired! He installed 4 can lights in my kitchen and 3 in my laundry room. Joe did a great job with everything, and took care of it in a day! Clean up was  minimal and I needed to do a little patching & painting, but all was ready for Xmas day entertaining. I will be doing about 8 more can lights and a dimmer in my living room shortly and there is no doubt he's doing that! His prices are fair and his work was great! I'm been afraid to write a review because people will steal him and he will be so busy that he won't have time! Great Problems to have! Thanks Joe

Chris was AMAZING! He was super reliable and took such great care in my forever home. He has come back twice and each time he has exceeded my expectations and I've already given his info to many friends who could use some electrical work. He hung 3  huge chandeliers with care and even made one work that didn't come with the parts needed from the manufacturer. He then hung an additional 6 other lights and even changed all my lightbulbs so they matched in color!

He also came back and hung two tvs for me the second visit which I can assure you will not be his last!

Thank you Chris and team for amazing and fast service  and being such a great person overall!

Appreciate you and your team!  See you soon!

I had a great experience working with Greenline. Edward was very responsive, helpful, honest, and reasonably priced. They upgraded the electrical in my house and did a fantastic job. I would recommend Greenline for any electrical work.

This man arrived early and told us how to save money rather than rip us off. He shared stories about his own parents situation in a similar older home he rewired himself. Thoughtful and reasonable other electricians were higher tha his estimate by more than 700 plus. He did things right taking his time and showing us exactly what he was doing and why. It was kind of refreshhing to work with him thanks ryan my parents are happy about being able to use the aplliances they wanted so badly.

Great service! Friendly and honest staff. The quote I was provided was reasonable and was exactly what I ended up paying for. Fast and reliable!

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

Wow! We are so happy with our experience with Tweaks & Finishes.  Jose and Rodney were excellent communicators from start to finish. They listened to what we were hoping to achieve, gave their suggestions, worked speedily but with great precision, and made our place look fantastic!

We had everything from electrical to painting done in our condo, and it all looks and works spectacular. We will definitely be using their services again and HIGHLY recommend them!

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.

These guys were great! Had some old electric work that needed attention. The techs fixed it up in no time. Very satisfied with the overall price and service. Communicated mostly over text to schedule, which was convenient, and no surprises on payment at the end. The electricians they sent even explained to me some of the work they were doing and what to tell a plumber to do with a related project. Much appreciated to feel like an educated customer. Thanks guys!

We had an electrical issue come up and Kinetic Energy responded immediately. We were under a time constraint and Tracy called back and was able to schedule an electrician the next day. Carlos was able to find the problem and solve it immediately. Both Tracy and Carlos are true professionals. It is so hard to have someone call you back let alone do a great job. kinetic energy did both. They will be our go-to from here on out.

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.

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.

My experience with this business was literally the worst experience I have ever had with a vendor or contractor.

My initial issue was needing to replace a faucet cartridge on my tub to adjust the water which was estimated to take 1 to 1.5 hours. The tech that came out was on the phone the whole time w/ John P. (he refused to give me his full name but I saw it on the caller ID) the lead trainer. It was clear she was struggling with the job. I would have been ok w/ her saying that she couldn't complete the job and I would have paid her for her time. Instead, I got an update on the app saying that the time estimate to complete the job changed from 1 to 1.5 to 4 to 5 hours. I hadn't planned on it taking that long and had to return to work as I had to take time off yesterday (and most of the next day) to be home to deal w/ this. She left after two hours without replacing or repairing the cartridge and reinstalled the faucet backwards so that the hot / cold lever was on the wrong side. I then immediately got a bill for $250 w/ the faucet installed incorrectly and the original issue unaddressed.

Later I noticed that the bathroom directly below the one where the tech was was now soaked in water. I notified Fixer of this as well as the original issue not being resolved and the faucet being installed backwards, and a second team came to try to fix what the first tech had done. They said there was now a leak in the wall behind the faucet that the tech had worked on and turned the water off. They called John P. He said he couldn't do anything and I would have to call customer service. I repeatedly asked for a contact (name and number) of someone at Fixer to help me resolve the issue. He would not provide it nor would he provide his own name or contact number, though I saw his first name and initial of last name on the tech's phone. I could hear when he was talking to the tech saying I'm sorry you have to deal with this @#$$ referring to me! At no time did he ever apologize to me for anything that happened or give any other suggestions about how to fix the issue they had caused other than tell me I had to call customer service.
I did get a call from a customer service rep who said they could perhaps turn it into their insurer but that would take a long time. Her attempt to solve the problem was to provide some referrals for a plumber at my expense to correct an issue they caused. When I insisted that someone who could resolved the issue be sent today since at this point I don't have any water rather than having a plumber come out they sent a 3rd Fixer team. After a couple of hours, they said they couldn't fix it. The customer service rep said that if their team could not address the issue she would have a plumber come out. That didn't happen.

After three visits from Fixer I still didn't have the original, quite simple issue addressed, had no water at all and a leak in my walls!
After it became clear they would not adequately address the issue, I called a plumber. He identified the source of the leak in about 5 minutes and cleaned the cartridge which corrected the issue that I had called Fixer about in the first place. Unfortunately, this resulted in a significant bill that I now had to pay, as well as additional tiling work around the tub faucet which he had to rip out to repair the leak. I haven't even looked into the possible damage in the walls yet from the leak.

At every turn, this company could have resolved this issue and for some reason chose not to. I really wanted to like this company as it appears they are very pro LGBTQ and employ quite a few women at their company which is atypical in my experience. What a disappointing, demoralizing experience.
