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!

What a great experience....Wonderful company, Eddie was outstanding. We needed some troubleshooting done on our new home and some pendant lights installed....Eddie was not only responsive, but on time, Super Knowledgeable, Honest and definitely a perfectionist!  He offers Very Fair pricing and works quickly to keep the cost down!....I can't wait for him to come back to do our recessed lights!  Thank you Eddie.

Update, I am not sure if they are just incredibly busy or what but I have tried contacting them twice for additional work to be done and have not received any call back. A bit frustrating. :(

Had some electrical work done by Jeff and Mike.  I was kind of skeptical on moving forward with the work done but they both did a FANTASTIC job.  I was very comfortable using them.  It is nice to work with a company who knows what they are doing plus neat and clean!!  THANKS GUYS!!

Just them out to install globe light fixture in our laundry room (owner Provided) charged $307 and replaced a bad light switch charged  $207 total of $514 for approximately 30-40 minutes of work. Seems excessive.

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.

Tried to get last minute outlets installed for my tv wall mounts.  They responded quickly and gave a fair price and was able to come out next day to the installation.  They were quick and cleaned after themselves.  Definitely would use them again for other electrical services.

This is the best electrical contractor in the area.When I had a short in my kitchen, two other electricians could not find the problem. I was told that I would need to gut my kitchen to either find the break or to just have it rewired. Luckily a friend referred me & told me to I call Olson before making my decision. They came out promptly & luckily found the issue. The others were on the right track, but stopped short of finding the issue. Steve & Paul located the break, & were able to fix the issue without having to gut the kitchen. They do quality work, & are extremely knowledgeable. I refer them now, & will only use them for my electrical in the future!!

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.

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!!

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.
