Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

We bought an older property that needed a major electrical update and everything brought up to code. Stefan took his time and walked us through the entire process from start to finish. He was timely, polite, and very informative. His pricing was fair and fit our budget nicely. He was right on schedule and had everything done within a super convenient timeframe. We'll be sure to give him a call back for any of our future projects. I would highly recommend giving Stefan at AC/DC a call for any electrical needs!

Darrell made time to come out for a free estimate at short notice. He's quick to respond, highly knowledgeable, and genuine! My new go-to for sure.

Rodrigo, the electrician, arrived promptly and was very pleasant, helpful, and knowledgeable. I had 2 recessed lights that were not working. He was able to fix one while here, and for the other, he will have to order a part and return. The cost was very reasonable and the whole experience a good one.

Quick response, great service.  I would not hesitate to reach out to him again for other projects.

Joe is still the absolute best electrician around! If you have an older home (ours are over 100+) and have knob and wire he will know how to take care of  it.  He's installed numerous ceiling fans, ran an outlet to directly behind our mounted tv to hid the cords and most recently added an additional breaker.  His pricing can't be beat and he's fast, trustworthy and all around good guy.  

In the future I plan on hiring him again to instal an electric power supply for our smart car - something he's getting more and more jobs doing as of late.

Don't hesitate to hire him!

Christian was responsive and professional. He fixed the issue quickly and within 24 hours of requesting the quote on Yelp.

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!

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.

The electricians at Highlights Chicago did an amazing job replacing the lights under my kitchen cabinets.  I couldn't be more satisfied with the instillation.   The quality between the existing lighting in my kitchen to the new instillation is night and day and the new lights make my kitchen look fantastic!  The workers were very friendly and professional and if I am ever in need of an electrician again, I will definitely be reaching out.

Rogelio did a good job on our building. Repaired some outlets, in the apartment, garage, and outside of the building. He shared photos of his progress. We talk over the phone to clarify details and got a quote on the spot for additional work that was necessary and was finished the same day after getting the parts needed.
He is also bilingual, what helps communicating easier for a larger population group.
All good overall.

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!

I hired Jake and Urban Power to add two electrical meters and relocate the circuit breakers out of the garden unit to a common area so all tenants could have access to them at my 3-Flat property.  He is a master of his craft and did a great job providing solutions to the issues I presented and working efficiently on the install and relocation as well as managing the permitting process with Com-Ed.  He has deep experience working with rental properties and gave me some great insights to add value to the property including installing security lighting which I hired him to do as well.  I would highly recommend Jake and Urban Power for any electrical job big or small.

Neville was very responsive, on time, and did a great job. I will definitely use him again.

I am going to make this as short as possible without skimping on the important details.

Purchased a home in Forest Park which required some outdoor electrical work to be completed to be in compliance with the Village Inspector's requirements. It is my understanding that this is very basic work and most older homes in the Village require this work upon sale.
Hired Kinetic based on recommendation from my agent and Yelp/Facebook/Nextdoor reviews. The prior owner received a quote of $1200 for the work from another company - I sent that estimate to Kinetic and asked if they could match it. They sent out someone to take a look and afterwards quoted me at $1400 via email. I agreed to the $1400 (also via email) as the company was so highly rated and I wanted it to be done correctly.
Sequence of events:
1. Work was performed - required the power to be out from 8am to around 5pm on a weekday.
2. Village inspector and Kinetic rep returned to do the post-work inspection. The work failed inspection. I'm not exactly sure how you fail inspection on a routine job.
3. They came back on a Saturday morning to correct the work. Re-inspection occurred 4 days later and it passed. I was told more than once that they would be reducing the bill due to my pain and suffering - having failed inspection and because we had to have our power out for another 3 hours to have the issue corrected. At this point I was still considering a 3/5 review as the rep was very apologetic about this whole mess and came out on a weekend as we are WFH during the week and need power.
4. Received the invoice totaling $1712 due after a $250 pain and suffering discount. Emailed them back as I'm not sure how $1400 became $1,962 when it was supposed to be less than the original estimate for my trouble. They said they had a conversation with my husband about additional charges? No way in hell that happened. Nonetheless, they said it happened when the in person estimate was made. However, we received the written estimate for $1400 after the in person estimate. Anything that was (or wasn't) discussed should have been reflected in the written estimate.
5. They agreed to $1400 to put this job behind us and we paid it so I could be done with the mess as well.
I have all of this in writing and I keep meticulous notes on anything that I pay for. I didn't even want to waste any more keystrokes on this, but since I hired them partially based on Yelp reviews, I felt that I needed to share my experience. I am giving them 2 stars only because everyone was pretty pleasant. Just wish it would have turned out better.

They also drilled a large screw through my newly-finished porch. No warning on that. Picture attached.

Tom installed a Tesla rapid charger in our garage yesterday. He did this with professionalism and expertise. I will hire him again for future electrical needs.

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.

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 had a really great experience with Fixer - they are an awesome company. Basically they've incorporated the best of mobile booking service with the best of handyman/repair service.

I had a drywall repair and they showed up right on time. Due to the situation specific to my drywall I had two work sessions. Both time, the fixer that came was really professional, knowledgeable and courteous. The first time, D'Angelo came and worked for an hour. The second time, Ian came and spent about two hours finishing up the job.  They did great work and cleaned up after themselves. I highly recommend them.

The nice thing about their mobile solution is that you can go online and book a specific time that you want. After you submit the booking, you get a text message and you can text back and forth with their main office about your project. They confirm everything with you. Then the night before your appointment at 8:00pm sharp, you receive an automated text with the name of the professional that will be showing up to your job.

If anything arises, you just text back and forth with the main office. This excellent communication channel made everything so much easier.

And after your job is finished, you get a text with a link to review and pay your bill (and add a tip if you like). Completely mobile. Just the way I like it.
