Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

Wow, fast response, easy communication and great work. Replaced an old bathroom fan that to me seemed a little tricky to get old one out and new one to fit. Stefan did it in 45 minutes. Arrived on time, work quietly and quickly. Going to have him do a light fixture too.  Thank you. Highly recommend him.

I have used Sims and Sone for a year and a half. Darrell is literally on my speed dial. My condo building has had a number of plumbing issues that have been difficult to figure out - fixing one problem exposed another. After redoing my bathroom, we started having a leak into the downstairs unit. We tried to figure it out snd had other plumbers come attempt to diagnose the problem. Zeno came over, figured it out immediately and fixed. However, the plumbing work was complicated and solving the leak led to back ups because of back pitching and compression within my pipes. Zeno was incredibly thoughtful, used cameras to diagnose, and came and fixed my plumbing once and for all. He is incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, answering every question I had thoroughly, explaining it all to me and physically showing me so I could understand the problem. He stayed after the work was complete to help me with another issue and investigate an issue my neighbor was having. Truly, he goes ABOVE AND BEYOND. He was also teaching an apprentice while completing my work and it was really neat to see just how knowledgeable and skilled he is to pass it on to someone else. While the issues in my building were not common, Zeno had the grace, patience, and persistence to figure it out and did not stop until it worked fully. I cannot recommend Zeno enough. PLEASE use him because I promise you will not be disappointed.

As a property manager, electricians are the hardest vendor to schedule with. Until I found T & D, I would have to wait up to 2 weeks to get on the books with someone else, and that never made tenants happy. T & D is extremely easy to schedule with, to work with, and are knowledgeable, professional and nice.They are a pleasure to work with!

I recently hired Honey Do Home Electrical to install an EV charger in my detached garage. I could not be happier with the service that Ted provided throughout the process. Ted was extremely responsive throughout the process, provided a timely and competitive estimate, scheduled the installation that worked for my schedule, and completed the work with high quality.

I plan to use Honey Do again for my future electrical needs and would highly recommend them to my friends and neighbors.

My wife and I are in the middle of a whole bunch of improvement projects right now while we remodel our 1923 house. After getting a few different estimates for electrical work, we ended up hiring Joe to re-do our service (updating an old 60amp fuse box from the 40s to 100amp service with a breaker), update our old ungrounded outlets, and install some fans and light fixtures. The price we got was great for the work he was going to do, and for the quality of the work that he did.

I have to say that of the multiple contractors we've dealt with for various projects over the past 6 months during our remodeling, so far Joe is the only one who, to put it simply, did what he said he was going to do, when he said he was going to do it, for how much he said it would be. No BS, no excuses, and quick to respond to questions we had. If all the contractors we've been working with for other projects were as good to us as Joe was, I'd have a few less gray hairs coming in. Next time we need electrical work done, we know who we'll be calling.

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 can't praise this company highly enough! We'd been struggling with a temperamental home-lighting system--in addition to one overloaded socket  from an installation carried out before we moved into the apartment. Thanks to Greenline Electric, perplexing lights are now beaming again, and funky wall fixtures have been normalized! Esteban carried out very complicated work with true expertise, great efficiency, and great friendliness. All very illuminating (!); great!

Ryan was great to work with. He was on time and very transparent on what he was doing and what the cost would be. Furthermore he had me inspect the work afterwards to make sure I was satisfied. I will definitely be working with Ryan again in the future.

We used the Highlights team to add additional lighting in our garage. They showed up on time, did great work in a timely manner and at a very fair price. Will be using again for future projects!

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

A great experience!

Jose from Tweaks & Finishes was very quick to reply to communications and then to submit his bid.

He priced the job very competitively, scheduled it for later that day, arrived a few minutes early.

He unpacked and installed the fixture correctly, carefully, and even requested my confirmation of approval (placement, pendant light height, etc.) at each step.

He worked cleanly, fast, was 100% competent, and very friendly the whole time.

No surprises or disappointments.

Really an exceptional experience.

Highly recommend Jake and his team for electrical projects large and small. Early on during COVID he installed a new outlet so we could relocate a desk and while there provided some options for adding light to our dimly lit basement. We finally contacted him for the basement work and he responded right away and was able to come within a few days. The basement looks fantastic and Jake went out of his way making multiple trips to stores looking for hard to find parts. Fair prices and high quality work!

I couldn't have asked for a better experience from Neville. It's no wonder he is such highly rated. I recently purchased a condo and found out my AC unit had no power going to it. With the weather being in the mid 80s and muggy recently it was a very unpleasant problem to have. Neville was able to troubleshoot and fix the issue rather quickly and at a very fair price. If you need a very skilled electrician than Neville is the guy to go to.

We hired Kinetic Energy in January, 2016 to install a new light fixture in the ceiling of the entry foyer of our house, and to deal with the old knob and tube wiring that was connected to the old light fixture. That kind of wiring was commonly installed in old houses like ours (about 110 year old). It is insulated with rubberized cloth. As a result, the crew had to replace it not only where it connected to the ceiing light fixture, but also to other outlets that connected to the same breaker (including the ceiling light over the front porch).

Kinetic's owner, Ted, is friendly, candid and experienced with working in old homes.  He got the permit and arranged for the two later inspections (rough and final). The Oak Park electrical inspector promptly approved the work when it was done,

    His friendly crew members generally arrived on time, and worked steadily. Because they had to cut holes in the foyer ceiling made of drywall, the work generated dust. As a result, the crew each day covered the  floor with a tarp and put up plastic sheeting over the entry to the living room from the foyer. They cleaned up well at the end of each workday, which we greatly appreciated. The crew also liked Ted. He had recently bought for them sturdy red jackets which had battery operated warmers - especially nice for any outdoor work they did in the winter.

A++ in all aspects. I had great pleasure to hire Tom's company for our house project. The project included multiple rooms. Complete Bath and kitchen electrical renovation. Two bathrooms received outlets, switches, can lights and fans. The kitchen received  new can lights and outlets. Living room got new can lights. We also added wired smoke detectors throughout the house. Tom was a total professional when he came in for the estimate. Everything was explained so that there were no surprises any time during the project and he made sure that we understood the work that was going to take place. Prices were very competitive, and work was done in the time promised. Tom made sure that everything was done right, to code and left everything clean and spotless. I would definitely hire again. Highly recommended.

Outstanding very communicative on time reliable all above in every category.  Always answers always explains what is needled and why

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.

I had a very poor experience with fixer. I needed some non gcfi outlets replaced with gcfi outlets. Fixer said they could do this job, but it was clear that was not the case. I had purchased outlets, which it turned out were too thick for the shallow outlets in my home. This was not the tech's fault at all, however instead of just telling me that he spent two hours attempting to get them to fit. He did install two, one of which does not work and the other one is gaping out from the wall. I had bought a multi pack of outlets which I now can't return because two are used. I now have to pay an electrician to fix the messed up outlets in addition to installing the others. Fixer did reduce my bill, but given I got nothing out of it and also can't return the box of outlets essentially it cost me a few hundred dollars for nothing.

Update:
An actual electrician confirmed one of the two outlets actually installed was done improperly causing the outlet not to work.
