Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

After reading the reviews, I would have expected more.  After coming in to the house and helping resolve the problem (a minor one) he stayed around 20 minutes longer to make the total time over 1hr, and billed us more.  He also didn't want to take his shoes off when coming in the house and did not have covers for them...on a rainy day, I would expect a Yelp 5 star to have been more courteous.

On the bright side, he charged the hourly rate that he states and  he came on time.  All in all, an average experience.

North Shore Electric is fantastic! I have had them out for two small projects in my older home, and the work they've done is perfect. Bill is a great electrician, very thorough, timely, and performs high-quality work. Well worth the expense (which is reasonable), and highly recommended.

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.
(Note: He is listed on DexKnows as Kutlich Electrical Services if you want to read more reviews)

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 was prompt and very willing to work around my work schedule.  He and his assistant, John, were professional and friendly.  I will use them again!

These guys are the real deal.  Scott has a great team.  Very professional, clean, competitive etc.. did a rather large job with them on a remodel.  Very knowledgeable and great people to work with.  Already scheduled to bring them back for another project.

We have a new go-to electrician. Mike is extremely responsive and detailed in his communications. He agreed to help install a new light switch for my elderly aunts. (It turns out, they are neighbors!) Unbeknownst to me, a caregiver fixed the light before Mike even got there for the appointment. Instead of being annoyed, he double-checked the work and made a change to make sure it was safe. He did not take any money from my aunts, and instead gave them a card and reassured them if they had questions or problems, they could call him. Kind, honest, conscientious and detail-oriented. Thank you, Mike!!

These guys are great. I had them install a Nest doorbell and outdoor camera. They were extremely respectful of my home and everything was done professionally and cleanly. Pricing was reasonable too.

OK  Let me start by saying I live in Los Angeles.  My mother in law is in Glenview, Il and was having some issues with some of her power intermittently going out and then she would have my brother in law come over and reset the breaker.  I am pretty knowledgeable about home electric so I called around to get some estimates for her.  I ended up speaking with Paul.  They weren't the cheapest but they weren't the most expensive either.  He didn't know my level of knowledge (I have wired multiple homes here and in Mexico) but he didn't try to BS me at all.  He was straight forward on pricing and work.  
Anyway, they sent a tech out to my mother in laws and diagnosed a flaky breaker within the first ten minutes.  I had asked for a call when they figured it out and Paul called me to tell me what the issue was. Since they had only been there about 15 minutes and there is a minimum billing time I figured I'd ask if the tech could install a dimmer for her dinning room table while he was there.  The had a dimmer switch in the truck and installed it and only charged for the part.
Maybe this is the norm for Chicago but we don't get that level of integrity her in CA.  I'm glad to know I have someone I can call for issue at my mother in laws house.
 I wish I knew the techs name as my Mother in law said he was really nice (she is 89)  but I never got it.

LOW and BEHOLD .... LOOK NO FURTHER!!!
I had called 8 different handyman services off Yelp that also had great star reviews! You know how you get the feeling of if someone will be good or not just off the phone? Well Chris was the one!! He was so accommodating! We even got disconnected while we were talking and my son woke up so I couldn't call back right away. He not only tried to call me back but three times. He showed up the very next day on time with his brother Jaime. They were both very nice, courteous and trustworthy! I was even given helpful tips on a few things!
I'm in the real estate industry so I know good work when I see it! I feel these days good work is hard to find! They were so efficient and were in and out in no time! They cleaned up after themselves and left our home near and tidy too!
Look no further! These ARE your guys!!
THANK YOU!!

Absolutely the best electricians my family has ever used. Carlos Sr. and Jr. came to our aid like electric genies when our garage lost its electrical power. Seems our landscaper accidentally diced it when planting a tree. They spent about six hour replacing the line and enclosed it in metal. They did this as a precaution for future overzealous  shovelers.   They also replanted my plants after they were done. Was so thrilled at the end of the day, I hired them to do another job. A week later, I have new recessed lights in my basement ceiling. Excellent work, did exactly as was discussed. Fairly priced, honest, and reliable. Guess I must have won the  best electrical contractor lottery!

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.

If you need something done in a timely manner, than you should choose a different company.

I called these guys for a quote to correct some electrical violations in my building. They sent someone out who looked everything over, then pulled out this chart of inflated prices for simple jobs. A few violations were going to cost me over $6000 according to this guy and his pricing guide. Needless to say I was in shock after hearing/seeing this, and was told that by the end of the day I would receive by email an actual detailed estimate for all of the work to be done.

Fast forward 3 days and I still had not received an email or any follow up. I proceeded to email them and asked what was going on and when I could expect an actual detailed estimate. Shortly thereafter I received a phone call by a young gentleman that informed me that the worker that was sent out to my house had quit and took all of my info with them, and that another technician was going to come out to reassess the work that was needed.

A day or 2 later a young gentleman came out and did a walk through, taking pictures along the way. He went over the violation list and also informed me of other things that the inspector might not approve of. We eventually agreed that they would send me 2 different estimates, one for just the things one the violation report and one for all of the work that they felt should have been done in order to pass. I informed them that money was tight and that I only wanted to fix what was on the list and nothing more, and that if the inspector said anything about the other stuff I would then get it taken care of, but was not interested in paying to fix anything proactively when the inspector may just pass it anyways. I was told I should be receiving an estimate by email shortly. 3 days later still nothing in my inbox, but I receive a phone call from the young guy who told me that the whole building basically needs to be rewired and that it would cost over $20,000, and that he was still trying to get all the figures right. Getting a little annoyed with the time it takes for this company to get me an actual final price for the project at this point, after 2 guys were already sent out and it had been about 10 days with them doing nothing but trying to prime me for a high total.

I then get Informed that the young gentleman who came out was just an office nerd who really had no experience in the field and that a third technician would be sent out. Since I was only charged one time for a dispatch fee, I figured what could it hurt, so we scheduled for  a day later. When this guy came out he informed me that he was the actual licensed electrician of the company and that he would go over everything again to see if he could save me any money, because there was a lot of work that was needed and the price was really high, so maybe he could spot some things that didn't really need to be done. He went over everything and then informed me that I would definitely recieve a quote by the end of the weekend. He also informed me that getting 2 different estimates was out of the question at this point, and that there would only be one price.

2 days later I receive an estimate with incorrect totals(they didn't do their math right). I informed them that I would just make the corrections myself, but still this amateur mistake could have been avoided simply by a simple 2nd glance of the estimate. 2 Days later I receive an email with the correct totals and an apology. The corrected totals were $14,000 or $18,000 depending on whether or not the inspector said I needed a third breaker box. I told them that I was not happy with the way they conduct business and that my review would reflect my opinion. They apologized and said they would refund my $49 dispatch fee. That was 2 weeks ago and I still have not received a check in the mail, nor a response on when I could expect it.

This was the worst experience I have ever had with a contractor. Their response time is horrible, 3 technicians and 2 weeks to get a written estimate with correct totals is unacceptable, their prices are seriously inflated, their office workers cannot do simple math and they lied about refunding me the dispatch fee.

Absolutely terrible company to deal with. They give prices that only the rich could afford.

I hired a different company who will just focus on what was on the violation list and who is not trying to sell me the rewiring of my entire building as most of the things could just be grandfathered in.

My original review was one star due to Some real garbage work and high pricing that one of their new workers did. Kenneth refunded some of the money but it took many months of arguing which I didn't deserve because his workers didn't have proper tools or work ethic to complete the job.

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.
