Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

When we lost power to part of our house and smelled burning plastic in the wall, W R Tesla Electric did not delay in coming to our assistance.  The previous electrician we were dealing with, despite us letting them know we smelled smoke, pushed us back a week.  W R Tesla Electric came about an hour later and identified and neutralized the problem immediately and noticed several things wrong that needed to be fixed for safety that the previous electrical company never mentioned once.  They also worked with our insurance company to ensure the adjuster understood the issue so we would be properly compensated.

We are very happy we called W R Tesla Electric and will be sure to call them again in the future.  If you are looking for a dependable electrician with unbeatable prices, we highly recommend them!

Chris from Jake Electric inc came over to add additional lighting to my wife reading room.  He was prompt and was able to quickly run the switch and install the lighting right away.  He is a tidy worker and is a pleasure to come and help you out.

Our entire house needed an electrical upgrade.  This included the panel, re-wiring, changing outlets, switches, adding lights outside and bringing house to current code.
We got our quote from Gary with D&G - he was very fair and understood the scope of work we needed.  He also explained the work to us as we did not fully understand everything that was involved with this type of upgrade.

We had the upgrade done in May 2015, the electricians that are employed by D&G are some of the nicest guys I have met.  The explained everything, answered questions and even took the time to sweep the floor!  That is an A++++ company.  They made me feel at ease the entire time and I would highly recommend them for any electrical need you have.

They will be back when we add lighting and dishwasher in the kitchen.

I was referred to Albert through a guaranteed professional referral service. I needed help after my husband tried switching a light dimmer on his own. I asked him for a quote but he said he couldn't provide one over the phone.

He offered to come right over to my West Loop condo. He brought his son to assist him. He did fix my light switch and also changed four light bulbs for me. They were polite.

After about 45 minutes of work (most of which was waiting for his son to grab me another light bulb for my bedroom closet), he charged me $550. That's right... $550 to change a dimmer switch. Highly rated handymen here on Yelp only charge $85-95 an hour. Even with a two hour minimum, it would have been less expensive to book them and watch Bravo reruns together for 1.5 hours.

I asked him for a quote to install two lighting fixtures where there already was connection wiring. He quoted me $400. Literally, just to hang two fixtures! One of which just screws under my kitchen cabinets!

My husband called him and asked him to explain the charges and he kept changing his stories. Under no circumstances would I recommend this electrician.

Jason and his associate Chris were phenomenal, professional and excellent troubleshooters.  My wife and I needed to correct an electrical issue that had plagued us for years, Jason and Chris tracked down the problem and corrected it.  Jason and Chris upgraded our electrical box with a new manufactured cover that had been around since the 1960's, and the original service (house was built in 1947) from the line to the meter to the electrical box inside the house.  Everything is brand new and the price was very very fair.  I recommend these two kind, trustworthy and informative gentlemen who will give you an honest price for honest and complete work.

I'm exceedingly delighted with The Plug Electric and I enthusiastically recommend the company for all your electrician needs. We hired The Plug, as part of a larger and expensive renovation to our home, to completely redo our lighting. The Plug Electric was hands down the best and most pleasant contractor during our months-long, stressful remodel.
Julian, the owner, personally consulted with us throughout this process and delivered a superior result at the right price. For the electrical work, we transformed our outdated incandescent lighting to efficient LED can lights, installed new fans, repaired outlets, fixed loose and dangerous wires, mounted new exhaust fans, and lodged a new chandelier--again all at an affordable price. What's more than superior work at a reasonable rate, Julian is fun, hardworking, detailed, and honest. I'll repeat: He's honest.  On two separate occasions, Julian came to our home--free of charge--to work on ancillary work unrelated to our contract. He cares about his work, his customers, and the end result. I'll advocate for The Plug Electric for any electrician work you may need or want. Thanks, Julian!

I had electrical panel/service upgraded and Ron and his team were excellent. They were punctual and professional. They came recommended from friends who had them do theirs too. Communication was great and they were kind enough to give me some advice for other electrical projects and questions. Best of all they know what they are doing, and no BS. Ron is genuinely a nice person. It's hard to find good electricians and I am so happy to find one, finally.

I-17-22 We asked him to replace 3 porcelain light fixtures. He had the products on his truck. He was friendly, fast, did a great job and the price was fair! I would recommend him.

This company was recommended through our Condo Association after I experienced electrical flickering issues for several days.  ComEd found no issues w/ outside wiring leading up to our 12 unit building...Contacted Village Square Electric, had owner Steve Holdefer check out circuit breaker box (indoor) and then main breaker (outside).  Outside breaker found to be faulty and was replaced.  No issues...problem resolved.  Steve was courteous, took time to explain every procedure he took in layman's language...Price was fair (I researched other electrical companies before calling Village)...Would definitely use this vendor again without hesitation.

I called Your Naperville Electrician regarding some items to be repaired for my home inspection.  Maciej was able to come out right away. He was prompt, did a great job and went the extra mile. I would hire him again.

They are my first choice if I need an electrician. They helped me with 2 projects. I am very satisfied with their work and the price they asked. Highly recommended.

(I posted this review on Google as well, so sorry if you've already read it--I'm just trying to support these guys on as many platforms as possible!)

INCREDIBLE!!!

I was in the midst of an IKEA-related lighting fixture crisis (turns out I'd tripped a circuit, half the house was in darkness, the lighting fixture itself wouldn't work--you know, the whole deal), and I called Kostos Electric. Even though the gentleman on the phone was on vacation in St. Louis he took a full hour to walk me through my problem, and not only did his patient and kind advice solve my wiring woes, but he didn't even charge me for the consultation!

It's really rare these days to get such a personal--and HELPFUL--connection from just a brief Google search, but I'm so, so glad I called Kostos Electric. I hope to be using this company for all of my electrical needs for many years to come, and would highly recommend that anyone looking for honest, fair, and friendly service do the same.

THANK YOU!!!!! My bedroom is now comfortably ensconced in soft golden light, and it is all due to you.

These people are a fraud. Do not work with Krystle Stiff or Phillip Sanders. We signed a contract, paid thousands of dollars and have not been able to get a hold of anyone. They started work in Sept. Today is Nov 11 and the only thing done is demo in kitchen, living and dining room. Its been two weeks since they have responded to any communication.

Terrible experience. I had a dishwasher that was malfunctioning. The problem appeared to be an electrical issue. I called A&K for an estimate and they were not able to give me one over the phone. I understood that they would have to come over and diagnose the problem first in order to give me a quote. They came over and tinkered around under the dishwasher for a few minutes. After initial inspection I asked him to explain what the problem was. He was not able/willing to do this and proceeded to scribble some nonsense down on a piece of paper with a number of $600 circled on it. I asked him to explain what that cost was for and again what the problem appeared to be with the machine. The only response I could get was some incoherent explanation about his overhead cost as an electrician in Chicago and the license dues or something that he had to pay. For that reason the cost was $600. I told him that was outrageous and I would not pay that without more information. He pulled the piece of paper back, scratched out the number and wrote $525 as if this were some kind of shady negotiation. I asked him to kindly leave. I subsequently called another electrician who eventually came over, diagnosed the problem, fixed it on the spot and provided a detailed invoice for $140. I thanked him, paid him in full and tipped him. Do not call A & K.
