Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

We hired Howard Simons to install a light fixture over a stairway, a couple of fans, and to convert some light cans to regular light boxes from which to hang fixtures.  We thought we needed to convert the cans to light boxes to allow us to insulate in the ceiling.  Howard gave us an estimate and then came out to do the work.  Long story short, he told us that we could accomplish the insulating without having to replace the cans, installed the light and fans, and also repaired three outdoor outlets and then charged us only 60% of his original estimate.  We would recommend him to anyone and will be sure to hire him again when we need electrical work done.  Thanks, Howard!!!

I had an excellent experience with this company today. Within an hour of being contacted by my landlord, I received a call asking when the electrician could stop by. Being after five and a holiday week, I was surprised. He said he would be here within a half hour and he was. The electrician was knowledgeable, quick, and very pleasant in manner. He worked quickly and had everything working perfectly in a short amount of time. I would recommend this business to anyone looking for reliable electrical service.

We hired Goran to correct some code violations in my mom's older home, replacing outlets with 3-prong and GFCI and adding some additional outlets in the garage. The same day I called he came and did a free estimate. His work was quick and efficient and he did not charge more than his original estimate even though I had under counted the number of outlets that needed replacing. He is easy to work with and we thought his work was excellent. We are going to need more work done and will definitely be calling him. You will not go wrong by hiring Goran.

After searching for electricians I found small tyme Electric emailed Norh and we were so happy we made the right choice. After emailing back and forth he was very understanding, Although I knew nothing about electricity. He was very patient and was accurate with the pricing. We appreciate the great work he did and how quick it was done. We will highly recommend for any future electrical needs. Thank you!

Frank is an electrician that is reliable, resourceful and truly cares about his customers. As. Realtors, Frank is one of our preferred vendors which means we know that he will take care of our clients at any level of electrical need. We do not hesitate to refer Frank for any project. His knowledge of his business is a great asset and comfort. He does what is best for his clients, not his pockets. His rates are competitive and he goes above and beyond the call of duty. On a personal level, Frank has worked on several electrical projects for us in multiple homes and we are completely satisfied every time!

We hired Scott Nelson Electric and the service was better than expected.  They arrived on time each day, set up, and cleaned everything thoroughly afterwards.  I can't be happier with the fantastic professional experience that we had with their team!

We give Mike and MPG Electric 5 stars with no reservation. His work is thorough, accurate, neat, promptly completed at a fair price. He has done several smallish projects for us in the past few years. The most recent was installing new under-cabinet LED lights and a ceiling pendant in the kitchen -- life changing -- so bright! And the peace of mind in knowing that the job was done right.

Honest. Good in Troubleshooting.

He corrected the ground and open neutral on multiple sockets. Then installed self grounded GFCI outlets on all.

I got the parts in advance, replaced some 10 outlets and added wall plates on my own. The remaining 20 outlets are rusted, and some even broke when i tried to remove it. So i hired the electrician.

I purchased plenty of outlets and confirmed that they are the right ones prior to appointment. The wall plates, i installed them myself once the electrician installed the sockets.

Amazing customer service.  I got a whole house standby generator installed.  Paul was very friendly and walked me through the process and answered my many questions.  The installation team was very professional and did a great job with the installation and any follow-up questions.  I highly recommend Penco.

Highly recommend The Good Guys Handyman. Jamie came by to repair our outdoor vents and remove a bath mirror. He also provided us advice on some future work we were looking into. He was personable and did a great job with the work. He also double checked with us to make sure the repairs were what we expected. We will be using them for our future handyman needs. Thanks guys!

Great reliable company and great prices! They will work with you to give you a reasonable competive pricing.  Very pleased to have them service my electrical needs.

Very knowledgeable and their expertise!

We called for an electrical short that kept setting off the circuit breaker. After 4 days of dealing with another company that had a different story everyday. We called Sam and he solved our problem in a couple of hours for a reasonable price.
He knows his electricity very well.
I would recommend him for any electrical work needed.
He is now our go to guy.
Thank you very much

We were having a problem with a breaker tripping and our regular electrician was out of town.  I was told the service call would be $49 plus parts.  Eddie came out and said it would be $266 to diagnose the problem which consisted of him feeling outlets to see if they felt warm.  He was not able to find a problem and I had to pay $266.  My regular electrician came out and was able to locate and correct the problem immediately.  Thanks for nothing Mr. Mighty!

Very sad to leave this review. My request was to 1) replace a lighting fixture in the bathroom 2) troubleshoot the exhaust fan 3) to put in a microwave outlet over the range in the kitchen. He quoted me $285 for the work.

I chatted with Brian on the phone and he was very personable, straight-forward, and seemed to know what the job entailed. He said he needed to make an initial appointment to assess what tools he would need (for which he wanted $100) and then another appointment would be made a few days later (for which he wanted $185).

He came for the initial appointment, and during the second appointment - he installed an outlet for the microwave by putting a wall outlet BELOW the cabinets in the kitchen. I was not there to supervise his work, and intuition tells me that the previous ones I've seen are INSIDE the cabinet. When I was sent the photo of his work, I thought that didn't seem correct, but I assumed that he was the professional and knew what he was doing.

After this second appointment, he asked me which light fixture in the bathroom needed to be changed and said he needed a ladder for the bathroom light fixture and had to make a third appointment to install it. He also said it would be an addition $75 for the exhaust fan. I'm not sure why these issues were not brought up after the first visit.

For the third appointment, we had scheduled him and when the day came, he said he had a different day on his calendar, which did not work for us, so we had to schedule another day. During this time, a contractor saw his electrical work and said the microwave outlet was WRONG. To verify I sent the photo of the microwave outlet to an appliance installer and he said it was extremely wrong and that any professional electrician should know that the outlet goes INSIDE the cabinet. The contractor quoted me $325 to fix Brian's work.

My husband called Brian to tell him to not come for the third appointment, since we felt like we no longer trusted his work. To his credit, he said he would come and fix the microwave outlet and rectify his mistake, but my husband and I told him we were concerned that he did it so wrong the first time. We didn't want him to do any further work. My husband requested a refund and said we would post a 1 star review if we were not refunded. Brian blamed the mistake on the fact that we were not there to supervise his work (my tenant / friend let him in). Brian said he did not appreciate the threat, was very short with my husband and hung up the phone on him.

This is not written to be vindictive or to cheat someone out of money. Far from it. The job was done incorrectly. He was not prepared to complete the job within two visits as first quoted. He did not clarify the appropriate questions after the first visit and wasted his time and ours by having to schedule a third appointment. He did not own his accountability in his mistake and was not willing to be an honest businessperson and refund a dissatisfied customer in a job that was done extremely wrong.

I hadn't previously googled over the range microwave outlet before hiring Brian. I didn't assume that hiring a professional would require me to Google and send the professional a diagram of exactly what to do, but I found zero images of microwave outlets that were what Brian did.

I wanted to work with Brian due to his positive reviews and positive record of work, but this was a very negative experience. I'm currently working with a number of contractors who do not have these issues of incomplete, wrong work, lack of preparedness, and lack of courteousness. It makes me very sad to write this review, but the fact is this job was handled very poorly.

Very fair pricing and prompt, efficient service.  The owner, Tom Peck, is great to deal with.  He does a great job in a fast and efficient manner.
