Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

Stefan was at my house less than 30 minutes after I contacted him, and had the whole issue figured out and fixed in under an hour. Highly recommended!

Darrell was absolutely fantastic . I called him late at night, not knowing if I had a real electrical emergency. He came the next morning and took care of the problem right away. He was very professional and explained the work that he was doing. I would not hesitate to recommend him for all your electrical needs.

Hmmm I am a little baffled by the many 5 star reviews.  After calling about 8 electricians, T&D Electrical was the first who had availability within a reasonable amount of time.  Upon making my appointment they gave me a verbal quote said they would send an email confirmation.  Never did.  I called back to confirm my appointment and ask that they send the quote in writing via email, to which they said they would.  Never did.   Appointment day comes and they called me 2 hours prior to my appointment to say they were on their way.  OK, fine, better early than late I guess.  Two men show up, one of whom seems to be more of an apprentice and there to learn/hand over tools, etc.  They resolved the problem in exactly an hour.  The guy writes out the bill and it is about 3 times what I expected, so I ask him to break it down for me.   He then said it was for 1.5 hours of work and 2 men at $X per hour.   The fact that I was being charged for 2 men was ridiculous as one literally just stood there and handed over approximately 2 tools.  I know what a screwdriver looks like, I could have done that. Luckily I showed him that his arrival time, based on his phone call and the time of completion, made it only an hour of work, so he adjusted the time. But I still had to pay for 2 men, for what was really a one man job.  So if you do decide to choose them, ask how many men and get that in writing, otherwise be prepared to pay up.

Ted did a wonderful job installing my new ceiling fan.  I had purchased it on Amazon and had a HORRIBLE experience with the person they sent to install it. After that fell through, I reached out to Ted.

Ted arrived right on time and got to work right away. He finished the install sooner than expected and was very professional the whole time he was here. Very knowledgable and efficient in his work.

I'll definitely use his services if I need any more electrical work, and would strongly recommend  you do as well.

I just had electrical work done at my home and Joe did a great job! Had at least 4/5 projects which were not large and he was fast and efficient. Will definitely call again for future needs.

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 live in a real old house in Oak Park, tried to replace the possibly just as old light fixture on the porch myself and ran into a lot of rust and stripped wires and stuff I was not expecting so I knew I needed professional help. Edward at Greenline had Esteban out here in just a couple of days (would've been even sooner if I was available) and the job took 15 minutes and it looks great!

Ryan has helped us with several jobs recently. He continues to be highly responsive, punctual, and knowledgeable.

For the latest job, an open neutral, Ryan help me with diagnosing what needed be done and what to look for and helped me narrow down the possibilities.  I sincerely appreciated the approach of coaching me on how to resolve and saving me money as a result. Ryan's concern was performing activities that I could do myself and not being able to appropriately assess the cost (lots of troubleshooting). I appreciate the thoughtfulness. I will continue to be a long term customer!

Needed support with replacing an outdoor outlet and setting up new track lighting in my home office.  Pricing I received from Highlights was close to half the cost of a quote I received from a competitor.  Not only that, but they were extremely efficient with the project, only taking about a hour to complete everything, plus it looks great!

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!

Had an awesome experience with Jake. I got into some trouble trying to swap out a light fixture and created a bit of a wiring mess for myself that he was able to skillfully clean up. He was able to go pop out and buy a replacement light fixture that would fit my junction box and install that too. While he was at my house he added a plug to a closet that we had been wanting installed since we moved in. Super efficient work, very pleasant interactions, reasonable pricing- I will definitely be calling Jake up again for future work.

Neville is truly a one-of-a-kind electrician. He's humble, transparent, responsive, and efficient with his work and approach. A combination of qualities that's so often hard to find.

No job is too big or small. From addressing significant wiring issues in older homes, to replacing faulty outlets, he's the specialist to count on.

Can't recommend him enough!!

Kinetic is second to none! As a Developer & Design Firm owner, I come across many electrical contractors and I can honestly say that my experience with Kinetic Energy as a company, and working with their entire team has been an absolute breath of fresh air! They are currently engaged in our large new construction project in Riverside and have approached every request with enthusiasm and professionalism. Ted was able to work on very competitive pricing and provide exceptional on site service. Beyond this project, I've had to contact them for emergency issues at another property they had not previously worked on. Regardless of that, the attention I received was unmatched. Colin was at the property within a day of my call and was respectful, knowledgeable and identified the issue and provided a quick and immediate solution. I've been so impressed with their work on my developments but even more impressed with Kinetics willingness and ability to extend amazing service to small projects,  including installations in my own home!! Beyond that, Tara the electrician that I've now had at my home several times, is an absolute rockstar! I have a historic home.....and very suspicious electrical components. When I challenged her with replacing some old fans and large pendants, it presented some issues but she was able to devise a solution that brought the connections and my home up to safety. I would highly recommend Kinetic Energy and their team for any of electrical work and I will certainly continue to use them on our developments and personally! Great job!

Honest, transparent about costs, and delivered excellent work on time for installing an electric car charger. He looked up specs on the car company website, going the extra mile to ensure he did the best work.

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.

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.

Phenomenal experience from start to finish!

Let's start with the booking process - so simple! Everything done online , could easily pick an appointment convenient for us, including going into late evening.

Next, the punctuality - showed up perfectly on schedule (in fact we weren't ready and D'Angelo our Fixer was kind enough to wait).

We had a lot of odd jobs around the house - the most time consuming of which was putting up wallpaper. D'Angelo was clearly experienced, gave a fair estimate of the time and did a phenomenal job.

Finally , settling up was so easy, he set a clock for the time spent doing active work and charge was exactly proportional to time used . Spoke to 3 different handymen and their rate was the most fair and hastle free.

I will request D'Angelo the Fixer anytime we need a hand around the house !
