Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

Stefan helped fix some electrical wiring on my roof leading to my air conditioner. He responded promptly when I reached out one evening, was able to come the next morning (2 hours earlier than he'd originally estimated), and fixed the issue that day. Highly recommend!

I live in California but have tenants back in Chicago renting my condo. They told me their power was out and needed it back ASAP since they're working from home and because people need power.

After a little research and reading reviews, I called Darrell. He answered and said he could handle it right away, and within an hour he was at my condo.

He called once he was there, explained the issue, and had it fixed. He even told me about something he found that may become an issue in the future.

From far away, I felt like I knew exactly what was going on and that he was doing his best to resolve it immediately. I'll definitely call Sims and Sons next time I need electrical help.

Marcus and his crew are terrific.  The work they have done for my place is outstanding and more importantly, they are professional, accommodating and fairly priced.  After speaking with several other electrical contractors regarding certain work that needed to be done to a building recently purchased in the city, I was confident T&D would provide the overall solution to what needed to be accomplished.  It is very rare to find companies such as this these days.  Very happy with my decision and more importantly, with the work that was completed.

Ted was great! He promptly responded to my initial inquiry and came out within days to install a new external outlet for us. He was nice, and on time, and most importantly he charged us an honest and reasonable price... unlike some other electricians we have hired. We will definitely be using him again for other projects! Highly recommend!

Last month Joe replaced our old fuse panel with a new 30 circuit 100 amp panel, including new service line and placement outside.  He responded very quickly to our request for a review of the job site and provided a very reasonable quote for the job.

The work was completed as described and on time - he even threw in an extra GFCI socket to boot!  The village inspector complimented the work and gave us an immediate approval.  

Joe is great to work with and I will definitely call him again if/when I need any electrical work done in the future.  I highly recommend Joe.

I needed some electrical work done in my garage and MNC did great work.  Quick response, quality work and a good price.  I recommend.

Quick reliable professional and reasonable I will recommend and use them in the future

Had Ryan come out to repair a few lights and outlets that weren't working properly. He was able to diagnose the problem and fix the issues. He realized I liked to try my hand at home repairs and gave me some tips and advice for fixing and diagnosing problems myself in the future. Good work by an honest guy.

I was very pleased with my experience with experience with Highlights Chicago. They were very responsive and the price was reasonable. Elvir installed four fans for me (replacing existing fans I didn't like and track lighting I've been annoyed with forever) and a few switches. He wore a mask as a COVID precaution and put tarps underneath where he was working so the floor didn't get dirty. The experience was so easy that I can't believe I waited so long to get that all done.

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

After attempting to install a new light fixture myself I ran into an electrical road block.  Jose of Tweaks & Finishes responded promptly to my request for an estimate, and scheduled the service call for the same day!  Jose, accompanied by Rodney arrived on time, and treated me and my home with such care and respect.  Jose was extremely knowledgeable, and quickly diagnosed my electrical problem-explaining the issue(s) found along the way.  A quick replacement of a burnt out dimmer switch restored my lighting, and mended the mess I created. Jose and Rodney also cleaned up the wires behind my many wall switches which they found to be a safety hazard, and installed my new ceiling light-all at a reasonable price within my budget.  Both gentlemen were kind, professional, and mindful-cleaning up after any small mess that was made.  I am thankful to have found Tweaks & Finishes, I am looking forward to using them again in the future for a painting project. Many thanks to Jose and Rodney!

We have used Jake over the years for all of our electrical needs. He is absolutely amazing and always works incredibly hard and fast. If you are looking for surround sound, new canned lighting, rewiring or all of the above, he is 100% the man for the job!

My husband and I wanted ceiling fans installed in our condo, as well as some work in the shared areas. He reached out to a bunch of electricians and Blacklite was the most thorough and professional that responded, with well thought out responses and a detailed quote.

When Neville came out, he was very courteous, helpful and did the job well and within budget. Overall we felt that we were dealing with someone who knew what they were doing, was easy to communicate with and charged a fair rate.

We've used Kinetic Energy twice in the past year -- one job was a small job (running a new light switch), and the second was much bigger (upgrading our service to 200 amps). Both experiences were great -- everyone was super nice and professional, the work was clean and detailed, and the cost was fair. I've felt burned in the past with residential electrical contractors -- but Kinetic are by far the best I've hired, and wouldn't hesitate to use them again. THANKS!

Could not recommend a better electrician!

I had a desire to install ceiling recessed lights and ceiling fans in a few rooms for some time. After doing some research on Yelp, I found Tom and gave him a call. We were able to set up a in-person consultation soon after, where he walked me through the options for recessed LED lights (4in vs 6in) and spacing of said lights. We agreed on an overall plan and start date.

During the project, Tom and his men were timely, clean, and very efficient in their work. They carefully calculated and marked out the placement of the lights and fan on the ceiling in each room for my approval before starting to cut into the drywall. In the end, they had to cut into a surprisingly small amount of the drywall to put everything together. In the two places in each room that they did have to open up the wall, they carefully replaced the drywall, saving me from having to make any large patches before repainting.

I wanted to use a particular smart dimming switch (Brilliant), but it was backordered and did not arrive in time. Tom hooked up everything using temporary switches and came back later to finish the job once they arrived.

Overall, I would definitely use Tom and his men again! I have a couple other projects around the house I've been thinking of (electric car charger, exterior light, replacing track lighting with more recessed lights, etc.) and plan to use Tom for these projects in the future!

Frank is very professional.  Showed up when he said he would, explained what he was doing, and even provided a lower price than what he first quoted.  I will definitely call him again for any electrical job.  Highly recommend!

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 have used Fixer for various handyman tasks - hanging a heavy mirror on a plaster wall, changing out a tricky light fixture, and removing old tile and drywall in a bathroom. Every Fixer I've had was on-time, super friendly, and made sure to clean up well afterwards. If you need basic work done, either because it's an awkward job, messy, or you just don't feel like watching YouTube to figure it out, Fixer is an easy solution.

As a condo owner, I also appreciate that they are bonded and insured.
