Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

One of the only union electricians in the Channahon area that does RESIDENTIAL work.
Mr. Paxson did an excellent job!  We had three receptacles, two fans, and three switches installed.  Mr. Paxson gave us a very good estimate, and stayed in contact with us as we decided what to have done.  
On the day the work was completed he showed up on time.  
All of the work is top notch!
As the work was completed he kept the area very clean.
Everything was done within three hours.
Please see the photos and video I have posted.
If you want it done right the first time call him.
- I know good electrical work.
(I myself was in the electrical union previously.)

My parents' electricity was going out for the past couple of days due to the circuit breakers being loose.  I decided it was time to get an electrician to evaluate the situation and see what was going on. The house and the entire electrical system is original from the 1980's.  I came across Electric City and they had very good reviews so I decided to call them.

The electrician who showed up turned out to be the owner. He was very friendly from the start. I explained to him the situation and he immediately got to troubleshooting. He was able to determine the situation right away and explained to me everything he was seeing.

He was very honest in determining what needed to be replaced and what can stay. He even mentioned that it would be best to replace the entire box and all of its components but he would save me the money and get everything to be in excellent condition again.  

Overall, he replaced only what needed to be replaced and did it as if he was working at his own home.  Very honest work ethics and customer service. Price was very reasonable as well. Couldn't be any happier that I chose Electra City. Keep up the good work!

We recently used Norb and Sons, they came on time and did a great job. Very nice and a good price. Highly recommend them.

As first time homeowners, it can be intimidating finding a reputable crew to help when something goes wrong, especially something as important as electrical work. My husband and I found ourselves needing electrical support, and after reading reviews and checking out the website- we decided on Arnold Electric. Best decision ever. From John P coming out and doing the thorough inspection, to Sam L and Eric V coming and doing the electrical , and even Tim stopping in the next day when we had a question, we have been so support. They were all communicative, respectful, and did great work! Will definitely use again! Thanks, guys!

Eligio did a really great job installing our water filtration system that involved reconfiguring sink plumbing and drilling a hole through the granite countertop. Everything works great and looks great as well!

Task was to install a NEMA 14-50 outlet for my new EV car.  Install was great.  Needed to go from fuse box in garage to other side of the garage.  They ran conduit up and over the garage door.  Very professional.  No complaints.

Excellent service. Excellent communication. They worked with my schedule instead of forcing me to work with theirs. Very friendly and accommodating. I would use them again

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.

The owner, Brian, of Aspire Electric has a really bad attitude, bad temper, tough to deal with.  I've dealt with many electricians, and this was one of the worst.  As one of the other reviewers mentioned, do not sign an open contract.  Have a specific price detailed out on what is and is not included, and any changes should be approved with a change request.

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!!!!!!!!

We've had a horrible experience with KINSLOWSMITH INC. My spouse and I don't write bad reviews and try to resolve things with businesses in other ways.  However, our situation with Ed and KINSLOW SMITH has been so sloppy, fraudulent, unreliable, unethical and incomplete that we feel people need to be warned before ever hiring Kinslow Smith.  First and foremost, the work wasn't complete. We paid thousands and thousands of dollars for Kinslow to rewire our house and we've since found cloth wire.  We've emailed, texted and called Ed to come out and properly rewire our house and he has not come back to fix the fact that there are still cloth wires in our home.  Second, when we contacted Ed to buy his Angie's List deal, he told us to contact him directly instead of going through Angie's List.  We didn't think anything of this at the time, but now we realize this was shady. He wanted to be paid up front - before any work was done and left Angie's list out of the deal. Though we paid for a package - he ended up sending us an invoice for over $3,000 at the end of the job. His office listed a bunch of services that he never discussed with us or quoted to us. It was an unexpected, complete shock - much of it totally unethical.  For instance, on our initial walk through he told us he was going to put a used breaker box in our basement from another job - or we could buy a new one for a few hundred dollars.  However, he ended up charging us $1,598 for a new circuit box. He never told us about this or got this approved.  Another frustration is that Ed left us without heat for 24 hours in the middle of Chicago's frigid winter of 2014 - and I'm pregnant.  He was NEVER at our house to oversee his crew.  His crew was constantly telling us that they didn't know how to do this or that and couldn't proceed without Ed.  This was true of the thermostat as well. We would text, call and email Ed to come over to our house to help his guys and he'd say he'd be there in an hour, but he'd never show up. Sometimes, he'd promise us that he'd arrive for days straight - and never arrive.  On the day we were left without heat, we begged Ed to come over because his guys weren't sure how to properly handle the thermostat wiring. He ended up coming and telling us it was fixed, and it wasn't. We had a huge holiday party at our house that night and the temperature in our home was plummeting into the 40's. We had to hire another electrician to come out and help us. At our initial walk through, Ed said our job would take 5-7 days. It ended up taking over 2 months and it is STILL NOT DONE.  We now have the added expense of having an electrical inspector coming out next week to determine how much cloth wire is still inside our property. As we've given Ed numerous opportunities to come and fix his crew's negligence, we now have no choice but to get lawyers involved. Working with Kinslow Smith has been a homeowner's nightmare. It's been shady from start to finish and we feel as though we've been scammed by his company - paying thousands of dollars for work that wasn't ever completed.
