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.

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.

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 1st time building owner .. I don't know any electricians so I looked on yelp.. I came across great reviews for Norh at Small Tyme Electric.. I had a serious electrical problem at the building where the live wires from the building were hanging extremely low but Comed refused to fix the problem .. I called NOrh and he was able to come out the very next day on my schedule even thought it was raining! I hung out with Norh the whole time he worked... It turns out whoever did electrical work to building did not support the electrical correctly to the wall causing the wires to slip and hang .. Norh was a very pleasant person to talk to and he completed the job in a sufficient amount of time ! I will be using Norh for all my future electrical needs :)

I want to give a review to Adrian Electrical as one of the most professional electrical contractors in the Western Suburbs.  Frank accommodated us with a last minute request.  He was very prompt and knowledgeable, customer service oriented, and professional.  They are a bonded, licensed and insured company that I can give my highest recommendation!

Scott honored a quote he gave 2 years ago and his team cleaned up a mess of electric in my garage for a great value!! Thank you!! Would strongly recommend!

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.)

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.

Penco came out to replace our outdated fuse box with a new electrical panel.  The estimate was fair, the workers finished the job earlier then originally quoted and we will definitely call them for any future electrical work.

Had a great experience setting up two outdoor security cameras with Jaime and Adrian's help. They were able to fit me in on short notice. I very much appreciated how communicative the team was. Jaime called me when he was a few minutes away, checked in with questions during the job to be sure it was satisfactory, and made sure that I was aware of their progress when it looked like they needed more time than originally anticipated. While my total cost was a bit more per hour than I had been quoted by others, having two guys come (versus one) likely did make a difference in how quickly they got it done. Looking forward to having them back.

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 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
The Gonzalez family

I have just had two fantastic experiences with Mr. mighty, specifically with Rick. On our first appointment he installed a new light fixture in my daughters room and changed the location of a light switch panel in our master. He did both jobs successfully and efficiently. He was on time, polite, clean, prepared, and communicative. He was also personable, chatting with my curious children and indulging my puppy with a belly rub. I loved the fact that there was a pricing guide for everything he did. No gray area when figuring out the cost of every step of the process.

The second visit was to install a new bathroom fixture and ceiling fan in the master. He discovered that the new fan I had just purchased had a faulty wire that wasn't connecting to the lighting element properly. After a bit of back and forth with the retailer I purchased the fan from, I was able to get the parts he needed to replace. And he came back when it was convenient for ME on the SAME day to install the parts and get my new fan up and running. Have you ever?!  Awesome.

Mr. Mighty and Rick, their rockstar electrician, define customer service and I will  continue to use them going forward with all of my electrical needs. I give them my highest recommendation.

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.
