Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

I needed some electrical work done for a kitchen remodel and called Howard Simons from a recommendation by a friend. Not only did he perform the work in a timely, professional manner--he found a serious problem in wiring done by a previous electrician.

Howard is now my go-to guy for any electrical work on my house.

North Shore Electric is truly first-rate.  They just completed our second project with them which was removing a track light and installing six recessed lights that have changed the room ambiance.  Brian, the owner had worked out the plan, made suggestions, and offered suggestions.  While they were backlogged with business,  he did suggest a way of getting the work done earlier than originally proposed.  The site electrician, Bill, was fantastic.  This friendly and informative dude worked non-stop enabling the job to be completed in one day and totally cleaned up.  Bill recognized that he had done our living room installations a couple of years earlier.  This company is tops and pricing is very reasonable.  It was nice to get an invoice that detailed every cost and not just a blanket final price.  Recommend them without reservation.

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!

I am a huge fan of Small Tyme Electric. I manage a few properties throughout Chicago and I have used them every time i needed anything done. Wether it's some minor updates or a complete remodel. Norh Is an amazing person. Such a pleasure to work with. I always have the worst luck when it comes to contractors so when I find a good one I hold on and don't let go. I'm willing to share with you as I want to keep him working for years to come so he's always there when I need him!

Adrian Electric is great and we highly recommend them. Frank is by far one of the most professional, knowledgeable, and courteous professionals I have done business with in the home services sector. He installed complicated lighting for us and did a tremendous job. We will definitely be using Adrian electric for all our electrical needs in the future.

Great response time and great price.  My issue was fixed and they were in and out in 2 hours.  Eric was professional and explained everything he was doing.  I was actually scheduled for March 9th and Scott called two weeks early and said he had an opening and was out within the hour.

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.)

Mjp electric was awesome!  A true professional from beginning to end.  He gave me a reasonable quote to install a motion sensor light on the exterior of my home.  He respected my property and me by wearing shoes covers and a face mask every time he entered my home during the install.   He treated my home like it was worth a million bucks.  Besides all this he has a absolutely friendly personality.  I will definitely use him again!  Thanks for the great job!

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.

I used The Good Guys for backsplash in my kitchen. They were not the cheapest quote I got but they could come out 2 days after my inquiry to start the work, and after a near 2 month long kitchen renovation I was ready for the final product! Adrian is the handyman who came out and he did a great job. He took his time and let things dry the appropriate amount of time, rather than rushing to get things done. We're very happy with the work!

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.

Prompt, professional, reasonable.
We had our electric completely out due to damage to the supply line on the outside of our building. They came right out. Since I was sort of desperate, I thought the estimator was going to stick it to me, so I was ready  to pay a premium, but I was pleasantly surprised to see the fees were quoted from a laminated schedule - and they were reasonable. The work was completed professionally and promptly, including great coordination with Com-Ed. Also great email notifications.

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.
