Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

Look no further if you want an HONEST and EXPERIENCED electrician. During the extreme cold (yes, the one when where it was colder here than in Antarctica) our power went out for a few hours and as a result, several of my circuit breakers did not respond. I have the outdated push-in on/off circuit breakers. Howard told me that these types of circuit breakers are no longer manufactured, but he has a collection of good ones of the type I needed that he had collected over his many years of EXPERIENCES. Here's the HONESTY/KNOWLEDGEABLE part--another not-so-honest or not-as-aware electrician could have told me that because my type of circuit breaker are no longer manufactured I would need to install an entirely new circuit breaker box. Think thousands!!!  He also fixed a ballast  that I thought needed to be replaced. Again, HONESTY and EXPERIENCE. Howard explained I had to have both fluorescent bulbs in place for the fixture to function properly. I only had one in that constantly flickered Of course, he had the exact bulb size I needed (also hard to find). Upon completion, I felt Howard's bill was quite reasonable and all systems are go! [He is also an aficionado repairing and restoring very old cars. :-) ]
My highest recommendation for Howard!

just had north shore electric fix a light switch outlet that wasn't working and looked like a fire hazard. The electrician was very knowledgeable and reasonable for the work he did. 5 stars isn't enough to say how satisfied we are.

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!

Very friendly and knowledgeable. Norh quoted me for several projects, and ended up running a 220 outlet for my dryer across the house, and adding an outlet. He also helped me figure out a problem I had with some switched outlets. His pricing was really fair. If I need an electrician again, this is who I will call.

I would not recommend this company for electrical work. Lack of communication, zero follow up and very unprofessional.

All around great experience. Scott called back quickly and set good expectations about when we could expect them. They were able to come out quickly to handle this small job. Miguel was the electrician and he was great! He was very friendly and took care of the issue quickly.

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.

Hired Marcin to install an ev charger. I received a fair quote for the work, more reasonable than others. He did a great job on the installation.

He did another small job for us as well. Helpful and easy to work with.

Penco Electric is wonderful!  They installed and now maintain my whole house, back up Generator.  I called for three estimates and by far the most knowledgable and professional was the team at Penco.  Everyone I dealt with
were professional and wanted me happy.  Marion handled setting up my order and explained the process thoroughly.  When my generator arrived I dealt with Justin .   THE FOLLOW UP WAS GREAT.   I bought the generator as insurance having this team with the Generator, I feel very secure.  
This is a company built on relationships.  I couldn't be happier about my
choice of Temco Electric!

I had been trying to get someone to come fix a leaky pipe behind a wall with no luck. Chris got back to my yelp request almost immediately.
Chris and Jamie are very professional in their work. Chris showed me everything he was working on and explained everything clearly. The work was down efficiently, cleanly, and just looks really good. I definitely recommend these guys and will no doubt use them again.

The team that showed up was professional, upfront with pricing, and got immediately to work. I have an older home and they noticed a few issues (some bigger than others) but weren't overly dramatic about them. I've found living in an older home, professionals tend to freak out whenever they're confronted by something that isn't by the modern book. They quickly fixed what I asked for and gave me straightforward advice on how to, eventually, handle the other matters. They were early but called to confirm that was okay. Overall, very good service and will absolutely recommend and use again.

Hello,

Sam came to my home to add a 220 line for a hot tub I had installed.  the work was impeccable and he took the time to explain things, did my special requests, and even came back to hook up the hot tub after they delivered it as part of my job. he is very reasonable and quick to respond.

Good job, but expensive.

I had 3 pendant light fixtures changed, and a couple of wall outlet covers replaced, all of which took about 1 hrs work and was charged $500. He was coaching his son through the installation so he could get experience.

After observing how easily light fixtures are exchanged, I wish I had more DIY saavy and saved money. Definately buyers remorse.

Ricks polite questioning about how much my Gold Coast condo HOA fee and how much the light pendants cost were inappropriate.

Bottom line. Don't hire them for an easy job. It's overpriced. Hire a handyman at a lower rate.

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.
