Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

I've Howie do electrical work on my Crown Victoria, and there is no one better for the price than Howard Simons. Can't wait to have more work done! Thanks Howard!

They took on a project of my home that had been turned down by two other electricians due to the difficulty going around the existing construction. I got three estimates as recommended but two others backed off. North shore was not the most budget friendly choice but they were confident and willing to work on our old bungalow. I also used them for smaller work before like figuring why our basement lost power.  At that time their technician knew to check the exact outlet that had blown off and fixed the problem within 15 min. When i was impressed like an idiot he only chuckled and said he guessed based on experience and he was also lucky. :)

I love these people after they got us a new service line and a new distribution box. They are pleasant to work with.  They also brought their own handyman that made it possible to work in our home.  ComEd person just came out and did an inspection and was impressed how the work was done precisely.

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)

Highly recommend Norh! Very professional, responsive, and just a pleasure to work with. We had the electricity in one part of our room go out, and put off fixing the issue fearing it would be very expensive.  However, after seeing really positive reviews for Norh, we decided to get an estimate.  Norh was very responsive (providing an estimate on a holiday!) and his estimate was very reasonable.  We feel grateful for finding such an honest and professional electrician and will definitely recommend him to family and friends.

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.

If you want affordable, then by all means use this company as they were much cheaper than others who quoted. If you want customer service and the job completed, then I suggest going somewhere else.

Mike was able to help me over the phone fix a track lighting system that had a transformer that tripped. Cannot say enough great things about Mike and his responsiveness! Not to mention my lights are back to working and it didn't cost me anything. Highly Recommend!

MJP Electric installed can lights and a chandelier in our house. He offered great service, great pricing, and exceptional work! I will be hiring him for all of my electrical work in the future.

Justin was our main contact for a complete re-wire and fixture installation, new fuses/circuits for a two flat in the city. He gave us a wonderful deal and provided us with the work we asked for and more! I wouldn't go to anyone else -- even though their specialty is in generators.

Penco did everything we requested and came out in a timely manner and blocked us for a week on their time schedule.
They are prompt, clean, and effective as a team. Usually arriving from 8-8:30am until 3-4pm.

Edgar was our main worker (came in and out most of the hours and work) and he did a fabulous job in keeping us posted and informed about what they were doing and when. He really works for this company and if I could give him 10 stars, I would.

If you ever decide to get electrical work done, just clear a path for them to work, be cool people and move your personal items away so they can do their job.

Obviously cutting holes in walls and directing and re-directing outlets is a must when and where you want them to be - so as clientele- be prepared for that.

Even if you didn't want walls cuts, they really do their best to be minimally invasive because we have three newly painted and redecorated rooms, and they really respected the boundaries of our newly constructed area.

Other than that we told them to have at it.

AND.... Yes, they do pick up after themselves when they're done, I even offered to do it myself to help them keep going or leave early for their day but they truly insisted on leaving things the way they were when they came in.

Another few guys that came in were
Connor (sp) and Tony - very helpful and friendly group of guys - very knowledgeable and efficient. (Came in 2-3 days out of the 5)

There was someone else that was like an apprentice - I believe Brian - a young guy fresh out of school type kid - he was like Edgar's sidekick - wasn't here the last day
but if I had any say in his future employment, I'd say, teach him and keep him - definitely shows a lot of potential for this company.

If we ever needed another group of guys, or would recommend them to someone - Choose Penco!

I ordered a large piece of furniture that the instructions said needed three people to assemble. Called The Good Guys and got lucky that Jaime had a cancellation was able to stop by within a couple hours. He stayed until after 7pm and got the furniture assembled beautifully with very little help from me despite the instructions calling for three people... and despite my large dog laying within a few inches of where he was trying to work at all times :-) Was also a really nice guy who I felt comfortable having in my home. I'm going to be using them in the future for drywall repair and other projects around the house.

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!!

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.

The technician was great, BUT they have hidden fees and their price list is highway robbery. They charged $49 just to walk in my Door, then another $225 JUST to diagnose and tell me what's wrong, and finally $403 to replace a $25 breaker. The diagnosing fee doesn't even go toward a repair...it's a compounding fee schedule.  THEY WANTED $677 TO METER TEST AND REPLACE A $25 PART. A 15min JOB! Do yourself a favor and get an electrician that will give you a FREE estimate!!!

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.
