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!

Eddie was absolutely amazing and was extremely professional. We called him to help investigate why a microwave got burnt out & was smoking. He quickly returned my call and was onsite within an hour.

He determined that the microwave was not installed properly, needed to have its own dedicated breaker, and was not grounded properly. As he worked to address the issue, he uncovered several other issues with the electrical setup for the kitchen. For each issue he showed it to me, explained why it was unsafe, and presented a several options on how to proceed.

While making the repairs, he discovered several electrical boxes hidden behind drywall & tile, which he needed to gain access to in order to complete the repairs. Before he made each cut he gained my approval and every spot he opened up he gained access to hidden boxes. He did not make any unnecessary cuts in the wall!

Overall, Eddie was truly amazing and I would work with him again if I ever needed anything. I really appreciated how he showed and explained everything he found, as well as laying out the multiple remediation plans. He is extremely passionate about his work and it is reflected in his expert craftmanship.

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.

Art came out this week and was on time at 7:00 am.  He was professional and very knowledgeable about all projects I needed his help on.  He was able to make many fixtures that have not worked at our place ever come to life!!  I will use Art for all future projects.

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!

These guys are great! I called them to help with a chandelier installation. My appointment was for 9AM and they arrived right on time which was greatly appreciated.

To set up the appointment, I was able to message them on Yelp and provide pictures of what I needed installed. They were able to give me a quote before coming out to my home which I really appreciated (I had called other electricians who were not able to quote but had essentially a scheduling fee to come see the job without giving any expectation of what the actual cost of the job would be). These guys were extremely professional. I liked them so much that I had decided to install a dimmer which they brought to my place and installed in less than 30 minutes the next day.

I highly recommend using Gadertech Electric when searching for an electrician. They have very fair prices for their jobs, are timely, and professional.

GREAT COMPANY TO WORK WITH!!  Provided me with a piece of mind when preparing our 100 year old home ready for closing sale.   Great communication on the service provided and proposed service.  Pricing very competitive.

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.

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.

THIEF !  LIAR!  CHEAT!  THIEF!  LIAR!  CHEAT!
Dino asked for 1/2 upfront 500$ night before job.  Then didn't show up day of !  Didn't answer phone!  Or text for 24 hours!   Next day after I canceled payment with pay pal he called to say couldn't do job with out the money that we have in limbo now?  And he caught a 24 hour bug ! (After doing what ever he does Friday nights!) Didn't apologize at all for anything .  In fact he then told me he would return money but he had to call back all the other clients that called him FIRST!  I had to 3 way him and pay pal to get him to believe me telling him  that he could return money without it taking 30 days!   Then he did not before starting to sware over the phone that I can just get my money and pay him in check.   Careful he can get a temper!   This morning PayPal informed me his return was denied due to INSUFFICIENT FUNDS !  6 days after I payed him he still didn't have my money knowing the return was coming!!  Never mentioned he spent the money.  I gave him every chance to at least be honest and he lied the whole way.  He texted us this morning in response to us Leaving a very unhappy message . And He texted back That we screw** him!!!  ?   And he refused tell us where are money went.      
BEWARE.  SCAM ARTIST.   LIAR.   CHEAT!!!!!!

- 100 STARS!!!!!!   Hope I get my money back
So I can get electric for my a/c for my 5 month old baby's before a heat wave!!!!  
Thanks Dino !
Dean Hightower. Still waiting on a apology and the truth!

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!!!!!!!!

Kinslow Smith-----great for all your electrical needs!  Ed is WONDERFUL!  Today was an outstanding, productive day all around  from start to finish------ without a minute wasted.  I am still beaming (no pun intended) as I look around my apartment at all the work they did for me today.  

First, I received a reminder email from Ed the night before, alerting me of the time that they were going to start.  The next day, Ed and his helper arrived early---yes, early!--- and ready to go to work on my list of 21 miscellaneous and sundry electrical/lighting jobs.  Unlike many electricians that baulk at certain jobs, Ed seemed actually to enjoy the challenge and the diversity of the projects.  He stopped at nothing to get each and every job done, working straight through until all the work was completed.

He is extremely knowledgeable and patient and will explain what he is doing before he does it (if you want to hear it, as I did).  Whatever I was missing in the way of parts to complete a task, he had in his truck.  You can tell that he really loves what he does and takes great pride in his work...no matter how small the job is.  His helper exhibited the same work ethic and was delightful to have around.  They completely cleaned up after themselves and left the apartment just as it was when they arrived.  

Aside from the phenomenal electrical work done, what stands out most for me is the integrity of this man.  After you meet him and watch him work for just a short time, you know that you are dealing with a good, honest, hardworking individual.  I actually had fun today and told them that I never knew that something like electrical work could make me so happy! :)  
This whole experience was a complete and absolute pleasure.
