Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

Mr Paxson was very professional. He arrived on time, provided a written estimate via email, followed his estimate, was polite, cleaned up his mess... fantastic experience!

What a great experience....Wonderful company, Eddie was outstanding. We needed some troubleshooting done on our new home and some pendant lights installed....Eddie was not only responsive, but on time, Super Knowledgeable, Honest and definitely a perfectionist!  He offers Very Fair pricing and works quickly to keep the cost down!....I can't wait for him to come back to do our recessed lights!  Thank you Eddie.

Update, I am not sure if they are just incredibly busy or what but I have tried contacting them twice for additional work to be done and have not received any call back. A bit frustrating. :(

Quick response and excellent service by a qualified electrician!  Couldn't ask for better!

Arnold Electric really helped me out when another electrician left me a tough position. Mary, Mike, Brian, and Pedro were all very knowledgeable and helpful. Overall a great experience.

We hired Eligio to install tile in our kitchen. It was a medium-sized job on four walls using subway tile but required quite a bit of attention because of the high level of visibility.

He was very meticulous about his work and ensured that everything was measured and installed very carefully. He was kind, courteous, clean, and was very respectful in our busy home. The work was excellent, and we were very happy with the quality of his work. He spends the time necessary to do the job correctly rather than so many other contractors who do rush jobs without paying attention to details. I highly recommend him.

AJ was super helpful in fixing our electric issues. We have an old house and there were a number of issues with old cloth wiring that had to be sorted out.

This is the company to call!   We had a problem with some outlets that two family electricians and a reputable handyman could not find or fix. We called Olson on Monday morning, and from that first call to Steve I was obvious that  he fully understood the issue and had experience with correcting it.  He gave us a time estimate for later that same day, and exceeded even that.  

I called at 9, the technician arrived at 1:30, and by 2:30 the problem was solved.

When Paul arrived, he was very polite and professional. The company had discussed what was necessary, so he arrived with knowledge of what was required, and got right to work.  

I cannot stress enough the high degree of competence, and professionalism, displayed by everyone at Olson, and the price was very fair.  

Save yourself the worry and hassle and just call Olson.

I recently had an emergency situation and was able to reach these guys. At the time I would have let anybody help me but I'm glad they answered. It turns out the problem was minor and they were honest enough to tell me that. I appreciate the honesty and great service.

Had a GFCI trip during the night for no apparent reason, nothing running at the time.
Called to request that it be checked out. Showed up within 20 minutes, did a thorough evaluation and very reassuring.
Will definitely add to my address book for future use.

We hired Brian to complete a punch list of electrical items. The written contract that was agreed upon was for around $3800. The work was supposed to be completed around October 15th per the contract.  It didn't get done til February 12th.  That's FOUR months late.

Now let's talk about money. The final bill ended up being $13,500.00. That's not a typo. Thirteen thousand five hundred dollars. We were shocked when we received the bill. We asked him what happened to the contract. He said there were other issues that had to be corrected and the contract says any other issues are billed at $90/ hour. Fair enough, but the first time he told us about the other issues is when the final invoice was rendered. We never even had a chance to authorize or approve these additional issues to be corrected.

This guy pretty much ripped a page out of our checkbook and wrote himself a blank check. DO NOT let this happen to you. Never sign an open ended contract with this contractor or any other contractor, otherwise, you will be the one to get shocked at the end.

If a zero was possible, that is what I would give this contractor.  I hired him to install under cabinet lights.  He came out with an obviously untrained apprentice who did all of the work while he sat and barked out orders -- screaming at him much of the time.  At one point the apprentice was lost and did not know what to do.  Rather than helping him, he responded -- figure it out idiot and sat there staring at him.  Eventually, I started helping the apprentice myself.  He then billed me over a $1000.  Shortly after I received the bill, he called demanding payment.  I explained that I felt I was overbilled.  But, I agreed to pay him $700 that night if he would consider it payment in full.  He agreed, but has continued sending me invoices for allegedly past due amounts and has even filed a mechanics lien on my house.  Do not use this bully.

Dino was great to work with!! We needed a lot of work done at our church. Outside lights, ceiling fans, install a light in a closet and replace fluorescent lights with LED. His work was top notch. He even was nice enough to pick up the ceiling fans I ordered from Home Depot. I would not trust anyone else to do my electrical work.

I would never recommend Advance Area Service to anyone! The worker
who appears to be the person who operates this business was extremely
rude, and unprofessional. I recommended his services to assist an elderly family member, and he treated her like crap. He was rude, disrespectful, and
crass. He speaks to his customers with a negative tone and does not like
you asking him questions about the job you paid him for. He takes advantage of elderly people, by taking their money and informing them if there is a problem with his work, he will continue to charge them if he has to come back to correct his mistakes or inadequacies. He is particularly impolite to women, especially elderly ones. Be aware of this business and its services!!!!!!!!

They book appointments with 3 hour window of wasted time (2 times I booked in my case) and they simply don't show nor call to advise as to why. Receptionist is also only contact in office and she is clueless as to how to handle customers or bookings (bad attitude).  Read their Angie's List reviews too and you will see it is a recurring complaint.  Their excuse for this poor service is emergencies or unforeseen problems. Not sure even a brain surgeon has as many emergencies as they do where they can't even update waiting customers. There are no apologies only excuses and lies. It was so bad I forwarded their ridiculous lies in messages we exchanged on Angie's list, saved a voice mail from owner who receptionist claimed had come out special just for me.  His voice mail had no apology, said his jobs ran late (oh really cuz receptionist said u came out just for me), but do I still want him to come at 4:22pm...window was late morning til 2pm. Receptionist referred to me as a snob because I didn't guess the guy who called was the owner and he apologized in his voice mail (which is also a lie as he didn't say he was owner or sorry).  Anyway Angie's List is fully refunding my money for this special offer I prepaid for. I'm sure based on other reviews they won't be on Angie's for long. I have all the backup, including voice mail and sent it all to Angie's List...so no disputing any of this.
