Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

Howard is the REAL DEAL.

I needed some major electrical work done on my new (older) home, and had several electricians come in to give me an estimate.  As i mentioned, this was no small job, the house was still wired to a fuse box from the '50s, so hopefully you can imagine what kind of undertaking this was.

Out of all the estimates I received, the thing that stuck out about Howard was his attitude.  While the other 3 electrician's (who I found on Yelp) gave me long-winded, repetitive, and overly salesy pitches; Howard gave it to me straight.  He told me what needed to be done, asked what I wanted to address, informed me how many days the job would potentially take, and then he left.  no nonsense.  no drama.  no BS.

After considering all the other estimates, I chose to move forward with Howard and let me tell you I made the right choice.  Everything I asked for was completed per my original request.  The price was competitive, yet reasonable.  The job was completed on time without any problems.  What more could you want from your electrician.

If you want to be coddled by your electrician, then look elsewhere.
If you want to be 'scared' into getting more work done, then look elsewhere.
If you want to overpay for your electrical work, then look elswhere.

BUT

If you want an experienced electrician who will LISTEN to you, give you a fair deal, and complete the job successfully, then Howard is your guy.

*** if you leave him an email/voicemail, and he doesn't follow-up right away, don't get discouraged.  Howard is a very busy guy and is always out on a job- be patient!  He WILL get back to you.

Great company! We had them do a couple jobs for us and they really so outstanding work! Prices are reasonable and the people are great to work with. We will be using them again!!!

Goran arrived on time, identified and addressed the issue while on site, and had the best rates of anyone we found in our service area. Two thumbs up!

Norh R is great! He is friendly and very patient with questions. I would have asked him over half a dozen questions on his first visit on various projects I needed for my house. He helped me wire a secondary internet service at home and install a chandelier and will be my go to for any electrical work at home. He provides very practical solutions and alternatives that you should not even consider for projects at home. I found him very reasonably priced and pleasant to work with.

Strongly recommend!

Great service! I was able to schedule an appointment very easily with Frank over the phone. He arrived on time and ready to work. He was able to resolve the problem I had called about quickly. I thought the charge for his services was very reasonable and would recommend him to you. Thanks for your help, Frank!

Responded very quick with an a available time and day   Showed up on time and did a great job  Highly recommend using this business for your electrical needs

A Reliable Electrician

We had a long-standing problem with some puck lights. Michael Gordon from MPG Electric was the third electrician to look at these lights. He was the first one to look into every aspect of the situation. He found several technical problems with the original installation. Why the previous electricians missed the obvious, we'll never know. Michael fixed what he could with the spare parts we had lying around. Then he left with a list of replacement parts he would need to get the job done properly. A week or so later, he returned and put everything in order. For the first time, we have lights that work. I expect that they will continue to work for years in the future.

I was referred to Michael by Crest Lighting, a very reliable source. He is a properly licensed and insured electrician. He arrived on time, despite the difficult parking situation in Lincoln Park. When he finished, we were satisfied to the point that I gave Michael's business card to our property manager. We live in a 40 story high rise. A lot of us need electricians from time to time. I would recommend Michael Gordon to anyone who needs a reliable electrician

(On a personal note, I have to say that it really was a pleasure meeting this man. From the moment he walked through the door, we had a sense that things were going to go well. We were right.)

So glad I found Marcin. He has been my go- to electrician for many years now. He is prompt in responding to  requests for various electrical work at my home.  Always on time for appointments  and even contacts me if he will be able arrive earlier than our scheduled time.  Great work at reasonable prices.  Neat, clean never leaves anything for me to clean up when the job is done. Very knowledgeable and takes time to explain how he will be doing the job.  
I have referred Marcin to my daughter and son-in-law and also a couple of my friends. They were glad I did!
All that said, I will continue to use him any time I need electrical work done at my home.  Keep up the great work Marcin! You're #1 in my book.

We have used Penco to service our standby generator for a few years and their attention to detail and thoroughness has been the best!  But this weekend performance tops it all.  We lost power and right away the generator kicked in.  We called ComEd thinking it was a power outage.  Long story short:  no power outage and the generator was not malfunctioning.  We were instructed by mpower to get an electrician.  I was amazed that in two hours of calling Penco, they were here on a 92 degree day checking everything out.  It turned out to not be an electric issue but rather our air conditioner died.  Thank you Penco for your outstanding customer service!

We reached out to Chris and his team at C&E Handyman to do some maintenance work in our unit and ended up also booking him for a larger job for the condo building.  Chris is easy to reach, quick to reply and produces great work.  It is not everyday you meet someone with fair pricing and honest work.  Thank you to Chris and his team for simply making it easy and stress free.  I would recommend C&E to anyone and look forward to working with this team again.

I had a problem with dimming/flickering lights and power surges that damaged several appliances/electronics so I called the electricity supplier company.  They sent someone out and then told me the problem wasn't on their end, it must be in my house and told me that I needed to call an electrician.  So I called Caval.  Their electrician came out to my house the next day and did a thorough inspection.  He determined that the problem was being caused by loose wire at the pole and not a problem in my house after all.  So I called the electric company again while he was still at my house and they tried to give me another run around.  The electrician kindly got on the phone with them and explained the problem so they could come out and fix it.  The electric company came out and fixed the wire the next day.  Thank you, Caval for going out of your way to help!  You're the best! I would totally recommend you.  5 Stars to you!!

We made an appointment for an estimate and nobody showed up. I called and only received voicemail and nobody returned my calls. Based upon other more positive reviews, I was disappointed in the unprofessional treatment.

The technician was great, BUT they have hidden fees and their price list is highway robbery. They charged $49 just to walk in my Door, then another $225 JUST to diagnose and tell me what's wrong, and finally $403 to replace a $25 breaker. The diagnosing fee doesn't even go toward a repair...it's a compounding fee schedule.  THEY WANTED $677 TO METER TEST AND REPLACE A $25 PART. A 15min JOB! Do yourself a favor and get an electrician that will give you a FREE estimate!!!

I live in a very old apartment building (about 125 yrs old) and I was in need of getting two closet lights fixed.  I found Dosie Electric here on Yelp (who was nearby my residence) and called to request help.  Mr. Dosie explained his pricing and set up a date to come out.  This man is very prompt and very professional.  He had to get some parts for the job and was able to come back the next day and was able to use my existing fixtures which saved me money.  He will not sell you what you don't need...he does only what is necessary and it's very important to me because we know how expensive an electrician can be.  It's wonderful to have somebody who is old school and won't try to rip you off. His prices are VERY reasonable and I cannot say enough about Mr. Dosie.....I will definitely keep him in mind if I have any other electrical work that needs to be done.  I highly recommend him!

I couldn't be happier with the service provided by this company. Tom was incredibly responsive and had his team on the job the same day I contacted them...a real blessing after all the problems I have had with my contractor. They did an exceptional job and were a joy to have in my home...even my cat loved them! They were professional, conscientious, knowledgeable, and highly skilled. I will definitely have them back and I would recommend them to anyone.
