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!

I got recessed lighting and fan/light combo installed all over my house. Out of the multiple quotes I got from various electricians, Eddie was the only one who actually recommended getting fewer number of lights per room than what the other guys told me. He is very hardworking, honest and passionate about his work. Not only is he an experienced and knowledgeable electrician, but he also has a great design sense. Most electricians will show up and ask you what you'd like to get done and give you a quote (and some will oversell). Eddie was able to make good suggestions from a design standpoint for placement of the lights and I could not be happier on how everything turned out. I would highly recommend Electra - City for a stress-free and high quality experience with any electrical project!

We have been having issues with the fuse going out in the bedroom. We had these guys come out to see what was the issue. The technician told us that there is a bad appliance plugged in. Well, we knew this. He didn't really try to find the root cause of this, even though the service call charge was a hefty $115. The technician should have spent at least a few minutes to determine the cause to the best of his ability if they are charging this much just to come out.

When we received the bill, it indicates that there is a 13% charge to use a credit card! Do you expect people to mail checks in?? This is clearly not the way to do business in 2015. Will not be using them again.

Nick Mass and Brendan just finished fixing my attic fan! So now my a/c is drawn upstairs!! So hot...but they came on time and did the job quickly and professionally! They left no mess and were cheerful and thorough despite what must be over 100 degrees temp plus humidity in the attic!!! Thank you!!!!!!

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!

We initially hired for a 200 amp panel upgrade and a fraying service cable repair. The quote was very thorough and informative (and very reasonable). Their work is excellent and we received our permit sign off without much issue at all.

We were impressed enough to have Gadertech back to install an outlet for some cabinet lighting and to upgrade our laundry room lighting. Again, very responsive, thorough and professional. Would highly recommend Gadertech for any project big or small.

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.

Fast and courteous service!  I've had a couple of calls out for electrical service in my unit after a serious roof leak.  I've  been impressed with the level of service and diligence at finding the root cause of the electrical issues.

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

Brian completed running electric to my recently finished attic. What a job!! Returned calls timely, price as quoted and so professional. Highly recommend!!!

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

Never showed up- on two separate occasions. And I confirmed both appointments the previous day. Which makes for 2 Saturdays wasted waiting for crews that could care less. They've also made no effort to remedy the situation since.
