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.)

If you are looking for an honest electrician that knows his job, look no further than Eddie. I had reached out to Electra City to get 3 floodlights replaced. Eddie not only answered promptly and gave a firm quote, but was able to accommodate us on short notice due to a last minute cancellation. After reviewing the existing lights, he recommended switching out only 2 at this time and explained why. Despite the job taking a little longer than expected due to a small complication, Eddie honored the original estimate (that type of integrity is hard to come by these days). Without doubt, Eddie will be our go-to person for all our electrical needs. We wish him well!

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

Jack and Brian came to help me with the installation of a new fixture and a dimmer switch.  I can't say enough about their professionalism and timeliness.  I called Jack last week and he picked up the phone right away, he was very forthcoming about when he would be available and said he would call me the following Monday (today) around 11 to give me a better idea of when he could come and do the work. Sure enough, he called when he said he would and came within 15 minutes.  Him and his partner Brian worked very quickly and efficiently and were very friendly and  trustworthy.  They resolved my issue for a very fair price and I'm ecstatic about it!  I highly recommend them....don't even bother looking at any other electricians.  By the way, they do all sorts of jobs....for bigger jobs they will come and give you an estimate first.  I will definitely call them again when I need electrical help!

We had a really great experience working with Eligio and Laura! I posted about our impossible back door that had swelled and shifted over the years. He was very quick to respond, gave a very fair flat rate, was flexible with our time constraints and showed up promptly next day to fix it! We've had two people not show up to give us an estimate so I was relieved when they arrived! They looked over the problem, explained what they could do to fix it, then worked quickly to correct the problem! They even went above and beyond to realign hardware for no additional charge! The door opens and closes SO smoothly which it's never done since we bought! I will definitely keep their number and use them again in the future! It was an absolute pleasure working with them!

We had an electric heater and new blow dryer on at the same time tripping a circuit breaker that was overloaded and warm to touch. He was available quickly and explained the situation. I would call him again for any other electrical need.

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.

Affordable prices and professional work. 5 star electrical company! I will definitely use them again.

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.

I agree with the previous review. Don't be wary of this guy. Just don't do business with him. He also asked us for 60% in advance. OK, I wasn't born yesterday. Nobody asks for 60% in advance. I asked him why it was so high. He said he had to buy supplies. We were installing lighting that we purchased. So what are we talking about - some electrical boxes and some wire?
He was supposed to be at our house at 10am. He called at 9:45 and said that he had some calls that delayed him and that he'd be about 2 hours late. He showed up at 12:30. Then he said that the lights (that I purchased from a reputable lighting company) were no good and that he couldn't install them. I went out to Home Depot and purchased 3 lights for the front closet. He didn't even try to put those in. He just left and said to call him when I had lights for the other closets. Why didn't he even try to put the other light in?
I went out that night and purchased 3 other lights from the lighting company we had previously been to and called Dino to let him know that we had new lighting. We set up an appointment for 1pm on Friday. Dino texted me on Thursday night to confirm that we were still on for Friday. I told him that we were still on.
At 11:26 Dino texted me that he had an emergency panel upgrade and that he would be 2 hours late. 2 hours late seems to be standard for him. Now I am not one of those people who carry my phone with me everywhere I go so I was unable to respond immediately to Dino. By the time I responded to him, he said that he had already made other plans and that he couldn't be sitting around waiting for my reply. Oh, sitting around like I had done for 2 days waiting for him to show up?
He offered to come to the house at 8am the next day (Saturday). Although I was extremely leery at this point, I told him that he could come to the house and finish the job. I told him that I expected him at 8am and that this was his final chance to do the job.
He went ballistic (just as the previous reviewer said, this nut job has a temper) and told me to keep the job and get somebody else to do it. Then he told me that he was going to put a lien on the house for the work done. Then he said that he was going to call the village because I didn't get permits. Let's see, if I needed permits to put lights in, don't you think my licensed electrician should have told me that?
Stay far, far away from this lunatic.

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!!!!!!!!

UNBELIEVABLE!! They blew off my appointment and had the nerve to blame it on me!  I made an appointment, called the day before to confirm, and even asked them to call if they couldn't make it.  No call, no show.  They later posted a response to my review on Angie's List blaming me for poor planning.  Stay away!
