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.)

Eddie (the owner) of Electra - City answered my call for a quote to install a ceiling fan/light/remote combo quickly and gave a firm quote.
By luck he had an opening and he was able to do the work the next day.  

Eddie (the owner) was very professional, knowledgeable, efficient and verified every step in the process. He was meticulous in his measurement and did not leave a mess.

Overall the work was beyond 5 stars.  Electra - City was very reasonably priced especially compared to 2 other quotes I received over the phone.

I will use Electra - City  again when I have any electrical needs.

I would highly recommend Electra - City and Eddie! 5+++++ stars

Here's the tasks needed to install a ceiling fan/light/remote combo without electric in the ceiling:

Install electric box in attic for ceiling fan in spare bedroom
Make ceiling electric box live for the new ceiling fan
Created hole in bedroom ceiling for fan to attach to electric box
Routed wires to bedroom wall switch from attic
Changed bedroom wall switch to control ceiling fan
Assembled ceiling fan with remote control and led lights
Installed ceiling fan in bedroom
Placed ceiling fan remote control holder next to light switch
Verified and explained all ceiling fan/light/remote  combo functions

After he completed the ceiling fan installation, I asked about some additional tasks that I needed done.  Eddie knocked those out in no time with a slight extra charge.

Additional tasks:
Raised dining room light 4 feet in a 20 ft lofted ceiling

Replaced a basement smoke detector (they only last 8-10 years)

Changed battery in smoke detector in a 20 ft lofted ceiling in bedroom

You can't beat Electra - City for great prices, work efficiency and perfection.

so many years with this company and started to fall by the wayside when i had to wait without responses when to replace ceiling light....no response .... called again and again....no response....i gave the bozo all my light bulbs and ceiling fixtures and more because i thought he would appreciate my generosity not for a lesser charge but just because he might use the beautiful fixtures i couldn't use in my current condo!
alas, i was ignored and all i needed was to replace the fluorescent light in my kitchen!  stupid ignorant did me a favor when i also needed partition removed and the electrical remodel who he referred didn't even have a license!  i say fu norb....did me a favor and a safety net!  dmn it all!!!!

Mary in the office and the scheduling was fine. Derek the man they sent out, didn't give me sufficient notice as he was supposed to, talked to the electrical handyman who had been screwing the job up for months, then left without even letting me know. I arrived a few minutes later. Very poor on the service end.

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 and his team were absolutely superb. I've used electricians in Chicagoland before and AJ was simply top notch. From customer service to pricing, to the efficiency with which the crew worked, and the fantastic outcome, our experience was outstanding. AJ's team upgraded our 100 AMP panel to a new 200 AMP panel and installed two electric car chargers. Kudos to Gadertech Electric!

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.

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.

Had some outlets that were out and one that needed to be fixed! They fixed everything in half an hour and very reasonable pricing! They even called me the next day that I first called to let me know someone canceled and they could come today! Compared to others this was a great price! They were on time and worked quickly! Will use them for remodel!!

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 hired Advanced Area Serv Corp to do the complete wiring for my 900 Sq Ft Master Bedroom Suite Addition. They were totally awesome! They accommodated my schedule and arrived on time. They completed the work on time and diligently cleaned behind themselves. I was impressed with their professionalism and would highly recommend them to all my family and friends

SCAM of a business. 4 voicemails and no response after they have cashed my check! Is this the twilight zone? I will be demanding that amazon local and groupon pull their offers AND they refund my money!  Terrible human beings are just that.  It's unfortunate that people like Ed and Nancy exist and give good contractors a bad rep.
