Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

I have asked Stefan to add a new outlet in our laundry closet. He responded the message very quickly and the whole communication is smooth.

On the day he has done the job perfectly and the price is very reasonable for the work. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for an electrician.

Not a great experience. I was quoted a price via text message and sent pics of the jobs I wanted to do and I agreed to have the work done with the price I was quoted. Worker arrived 20 mins late, not a big deal, but was polite and professional. I guess the light fixture was suppose to be a two man job and took him a little longer than normal, which again was no big deal for me. The outdoor camera was installed without any issue and done in a speedy time frame, but when I called to make a payment I was quoted $150 extra for what Derek said was a 'service call fee'.

I can understand an additional $30-40 for the extra time it took to install the light fixture but $150 when I told him what I needed done is unacceptable, especially when I was NEVER told about an additional $150 'service call fee'. So be careful and make sure to ask for a total 'out the door' price before having any work done.

The work looks like it was done right and looks pretty good so no complaint there.

Update: Upon hearing I was displeased with the$150 service call fee, Derek called me and said he would refund me the amount since it was never mentioned to me prior to getting the work done. Still not happy about it, but at least they care about customer satisfaction which is a good sign.

I recently had T&D Electrical come to my home to replace certain switches to dimmers and to repair my outdoor light.  The work that was performed by Rodrigo and Ryan was well-explained and efficient.  They were respectful of how turning off the power in my home would impact my ability to work at home.  They were also very respectful of my home and neighbors.  I highly recommend T&D Electrical for any work you need to have performed.

Ted is seriously the best. He is super reliable, really professional and smart. I have had him do a few things in my home. Everything is done correctly, on time, and exactly how he said it would be. My husband who doesn't like hiring people to do work in the house thinks that Ted is worth every cent. I actually decided to write this review because I was looking for his number to do some additional work in our kitchen and came across his name on Yelp.

Joe is the ruler of the universe!!!  Made a call  to him and he showed up in 30 minutes and solved our electric nightmare. I'm gonna hire him for all of my electric needs. 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!

Over the weekend a pretty rough storm came through and worked a number on my front porch light causing a short to occur and loss of electric through the entire upstairs of my home. After ruling out a blown fuse, immediately, I was concerned about the safety of my home and what costs might be associated with this type of repair.  But unfortunately, it was a Saturday and I knew it might be difficult to have someone come out right away without it costing me an arm and a leg.  After doing a search, I was lucky enough to have found Greenline Electric, Edward answered the phone, put my concerns at ease and within an hour was at my home, with an assistant, and ready to evaluate and take care of the issue. He was very upfront about the cost of the visit and gave me all available options at a fair price.  He and his team were knowledgeable, courteous, and helpful.    Once he addressed the safety issue, he had indicated he was going to come back early the following week to finish weatherproofing the front porch light, now that the safety issue had been addressed.  And just as promised, he reached out to me a few days later and came back to finish the job.  If you are in need of an electrician who will take the time to find and solve your issues at a reasonable price (even in stressful, emergency situations), check out Greenline Electric!

Ryan hung a ceiling fan that I was unable to hang safely and had given up -- though I'd successfully hung the exact model in another room in the house.  He's a creative problem solver, and we carried on an interesting conversation as he worked.  Final cost was LESS than he estimated.

Excellent experience with Highlights!

Needed electricians to come out and
1)remove 5 existing chandeliers/fixtures,
2) install several new chandeliers,
3) assemble all of the new chandeliers and,
4)install two new wall sconces.

The new chandeliers had 300+ pieces for each, and I asked for this assembly to be included in the bid. They also are very heavy, ranging in weight from 40-150lbs. I spoke with Boz to request the estimate, and spoke with Kamal a couple of times when questions arose. They were easy to get a hold of, and were responsive and prompt.

The crew that came out on installation day were a pleasure to meet. Professional, helpful, and trustworthy. I actually had a couple of appointments that day and felt comfortable enough to leave while the crew continued their work.

I was shown a small crack in both of the new sconces, and thus had to postpone the installation. They came out as soon as I received the new shipment of sconces, and installed them promptly.

They bid by the scope of the project, not by the hour, and they do so rather quickly (received my est. within 24hrs).

They also have insurance for those in buildings that require COI's.

HIGHLY Recommend.

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

Jose and Rodney were amazing! I had them paint all the common areas in my new condo and it looks fantastic! They were both very nice and incredibly professional, getting to work right away. They'd given me an initial estimate that was a very fair price and that was exactly what I paid on the day. Really zero complaints and I will definitely be contacting them if I need anything in the future.

Jake and Lenox were a great team- they were efficient and were able to locate the source of our electrical problem. They replaced 2 GFI's and have literally brought light back into our lives! We'll definitely be using them again.

Neville and Johnny are the absolute best. I wrote a positive review two years ago...haven't needed any other electric work since, but immediately knew I'd want to work with Blacklite again when a problem arose. I had tried to DIY an electrical project and quickly realized I needed a pro - sent a request in late on a Thursday night, emailed and texted with Neville to confirm on Friday morning, and Johnny was here by Friday afternoon. I love that Neville schedules via text, as I was able to make this all happen during a workday morning.

Johnny quickly installed a fixture, and when I mentioned I wouldn't mind a new outlet on another wall, he made that happen too! I have an old home with old wiring and many quirks, so everything is always extra difficult...but he persevered and got everything taken care of. Throughout the process, just like last time, he was also incredibly kind, warm, and patient with my silly questions. He's a truly fantastic guy. (And he even noticed I had a broken floorboard and gave me advice on a fix...how awesome is that???)

I'd also like to note that he was extremely considerate with COVID precautions - wore a mask the entire time (no small feat in my apartment with no AC!), and cleaned up thoroughly. I was nervous to have someone come into my home given the current situation but he was great and I felt very safe.

Their rates could not be more fair. Worth every penny 10x over for the level of service you get. It sounds dramatic, but working with Blacklite boosts my faith in humanity. You can't beat that!

Ted was very responsive to my email and finding a time that worked for both of us. Dan and one other person showed up right on time. I actually thought they were just going to provide an estimate and leave, but they did all the work right on the spot. The dimmer I purchased didn't work so I need to return it, but Dan said once the new one comes in, he will come in and install it for free. This was a real nice surprise and obviously something he didn't have to offer. The job took 2 hours. They were both a pleasure to work with and will be my go-to electricians in the future.

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.

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!

Alex responded to my posting quickly, was clear on costs, and came out at 8am the following day as promised. I gave wrong information on parts and he was ready with solutions to salvage the job and gave great advice. Would definitely hire again.

Highly recommend for a variety of tasks! We've used Fixer for pluming and thermostat help and have been very pleased! They are the go-to solution for small jobs but bigger than DIY. Edgar was our fixer this morning and was great!
