Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

We bought a new dryer that was causing an electrical fuse to blow whenever we used it. I called PB Electrical Services and they came right away, diagnosed the issue as needing a new circuit breaker, and fixed it same day. Great service and I'll definitely use them for future electrical needs!

I was so impressed with Tony, Danny, Grace, and All Power Electric overall! They were really easy to work with, from setting up the dispatch appointment to having Tony assess all the upgrades recommended from the home inspection, and providing his own input on wiring problems and other shortcuts that needed to be corrected. Their systems are modern and digitized, which makes it easy to see invoices and the work performed ahead of time. Repairs were performed efficiently and expertly, and Tony made sure to walk me through everything after the job was finished.

With our recent house move, things have been crazy hectic, so it was such a relief to work with All Power Electric and have everything go smoothly. I'm glad to have found them - they'll be my go-to for everything electrical in our home from here on out. Highly recommended!

I normally don't write reviews, but Omar did an excellent job and the price was reasonable, I would definitely recommend this company.  He was very knowledgeable about what needed to be done and fixed it in an hour.

I needed a electrician to install power outlets for my newly plumbed laundry hookup in my loft.  I happened to stumble upon Montoya Electric Co. in Yelp.  Uriel and his father showed up on time as scheduled and did amazing work. Conduit runs were neat and straight and they didn't butcher my walls with unnecessary holes.  They also cleaned up after they were finished.  I will definitely use Montoya Electric Co. in the future and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for great electricians.

Looking for a reputable, kind, timely, professional, competitive electrician? Dion is your man.

He arrived on time and was able to complete (read: finish) a job in THREE DAYS that another less-than-savory electrician had delayed for over 6 weeks!!!

He is friendly, communicative and gets the job done.  He even made suggestions to put nice finishing touches we hadn't considered.  

We've already referred him to our neighbors - who equally were happy with their experience.  

5 Stars!

Perlongo Electric is exactly what his voicemail claims, your friendly neighborhood electrician. Frank is extremely friendly and upfront with the estimate. He installed 3 ceiling fans and four can lights in my house, and he finished right on time for exactly whet he bid the job for. He actually changed all my old two prong outlets into grounded prong outlets for no additional cost. He was very knowledgable and hard working. It must have been 100 degrees in my attic where he had to run wire for the lights, but he still finished on time. I have called him several time with questions about electrical work and if he can explain a fix for me to do he would, otherwise come and take a look. I was extremely happy with the work Frank did and I would highly recommend him to any friends or family of mine. You will not be disappointed.

I was very happy with John's work. He is very meticulous and thorough and takes pride in his work. My job was fairly simple - I am selling my house, so needed to remove a home-made electrical fixture and random hanging wires in the basement so the house is up to code. John knew exactly what needed to be done and pointed out a couple of things I was not aware of, which he fixed at no extra cost. I was going to have him do some work on my speakers but he explained how complicated it would be and advised against it.  So he charged me less than the estimate because he didn't do the speakers. All in all, a very positive experience and I'll be calling John again for any electrical work.

Excellent service from a trustworthy company.  Have used them a few times from routine HVAC check-ups to HVAC repairs and replacing a water heater.  Calls are answered almost immediately and if not they call back in a timely manner.  Both the HVAC and Water Heater issues were taken care of same day (next day for water heater since original consult showed needing a replacement unit) but their rates were very reasonable and they don't gauge for 'emergency' service calls.  Their techs have always showed up at the scheduled time and been fast but professional.  It's refreshing having a service firm you can count on for both excellent service and fair treatment.

I'm really not understanding why my experience was a complete 180 from other reviewers, but calling it a nightmare would be a supreme understatement.

I needed a dedicated outlet for the sump pump in the crawlspace because you cannot use an extension cord for it in my town. I called Vlad, believing I had called him before and he never got back to me (this was my error). He was very polite and came immediately to look at the work needing to be done. So far, so good! He quoted me a very fair price and said he could do the job the same day - even better! I made sure I said that the sump pump needed to be plugged directly into an outlet. He said he needed to go to the hardware store to pick up what he needed, after 2 hours I called him to make sure he was coming back. He replied yes, he would be here shortly.

And this is where my nightmare began.

A couple hours later, I notice that it had gotten very warm in my house. AC is usually set at 72 and when I checked the thermostat, it read 80. I politely asked Vlad if he did something to the AC, and his reply was too many wires and went back to what he was doing. That really wasn't an answer but I went back in the house and turned some fans on, sure that he would fix whatever he did to cause the AC not to work.

As the hours progressed (he started work at about noon). the AC still wasn't working and the WiFi thermostat was turning off and on and re-setting every few minutes. He was messing with the breaker box for a REALLY long time and would NOT answer my questions but rather just shrugging his shoulders and ignoring me. You have no idea how frustrating that was.

At about 6:30 (still no AC, mind you), he comes into the house and asks me for an extension cord. I ask him what for. He replies that he needs one to plug the sump pump into the outlet. Excuse me, what??? The whole reason I needed a contractor was because I needed the sump pump to plug directly into an outlet! He tells me that he thought it was better to put the outlet close to the crawlspace door and that's why he needed an extension cord, because the outlet was too far away from the sump pump cord. I tell him that he did not do the job correctly and that I needed the outlet close enough to the sump pump so that the cord could be plugged directly into it AND he still needed to address my AC not working.

He insisted that he did nothing to the AC wiring and that it must be an issue with the AC or the thermostat. Both are fairly new and it was highly unlikely that it was not his fault. He insisted that I needed to call an AC person to come look at what the problem could be and repeatedly insisted that he did nothing wrong.

At 7:30 he comes back into the house and simply says, Money, give me money. My husband came home from work at this point and told Vlad that he must have done something wrong, crossed a wire, something, because there was no way this was not his fault. We wrote him a check for less than what we agreed on, because come on! He got a bit ugly at that but finally left.

We had no choice but to call the AC company that services our furnace/AC. That was a $155 service call. While we were waiting for them to show, I went to do a load of laundry only to find that there was no power running to the washer and dryer. My husband went to the breaker box and found that the washer and dryer were now connected to the furnace breaker, so YES ABSOLUTELY he caused the problem because the washer and dryer were previously on their own (correct) breaker.

So, the AC company could not help because it was not an HVAC issue, and I then had to find an emergency electrical company that had a $195 service call fee. No way in hell did I trust Vlad to come back and fix what he messed up. Although the electrical company came Saturday morning, the repair was so extensive (and required an HVAC tech along), the repair could not be done until Monday. We spent 72 hours without AC.

Attached you will see the invoices, showing that yes, it was very much Vlad's fault. We have had to pay over $1300 to fix what he did.

Installing a new outlet on a dedicated circuit breaker is basically Electrician 101.

In addition to this review, I will be filing a complaint with the BBB and seriously considering pursuing legal action - something I have never done in all my many years of being a consumer/customer.

We hired a service from Angi's List to have a wall knocked down in our home.    Sooo we had to have some electricity rerouted. The electrician, they brought with them, completely bailed on us and left us with wires hanging and outlets exposed. With two boys and two dogs we had to find an electrician reliable and fast. We gave Johnny a call and he really came through for us. He  was friendly, reasonable, and just an over all a really cool guy. The electrical  work was neat and thorough. We will be using his services for our basemanent and any other future projects.

Our Generac whole house generator failed to come on during a multi-hour power outage on a Sunday morning. The Generac support line recommended AL Electric as the closest dealer. Andrey picked up the phone after two rings, came out within an hour, and had our generator running within 2 minutes. (The generator had an error code that required dealer service.) His charge for an emergency visit on a Sunday morning was very reasonable and he will be coming back later in the week to do full maintenance on the unit. As the Generac support person said, you need to have a dealer do maintenance on it yearly so AL Electric will be our regular service. Andrey is also very friendly and knowledgeable.

I highly recommend ABS Electric. They did a fantastic job during a home remodel. Installed a new electric panel, canned lighting, recessed led lighting, new wiring and more. They exceeded my expectations, kept all their timing commitments and truly stand behind their work!!!

Tom came and spent the entire day at our house fixing outlets and switches and installing ceiling fixtures. He also fixed any existing electrical issues during that process. He took the time to walk us through what needed to do and explained everything to us. I would highly recommend InTown Electric and will use them for any electrical needs we have in the future.

David is very friendly and courteous.  His work is professional and top notch.
I will definitely recommend his service to everyone I know

Awesome service and high quality. We had Sonar install a new 220v outlet. What I really appreciate is the time Sal took to figure out the best way to do it and not just the easiest way. We got an estimate the same day we called. The project was completed the next day and at a reasonable price.

They were at my home on 2 occasions in Rogers Park. The work was excellent and finished in a reasonable amount of time. Thanks from Norm.

Called Jamie in the morning to come out to fix a GFCI receptacle. He made a special trip at the end of his day to get it done. He was very accommodating, courteous and professional. The job was done well and he was very clean and tidy. And he charged a very reasonable rate.
I would highly recommend Jamie and Shock Tech 2 for electric repairs. In fact, they are now our go to electrician.

Don, has been performing electrical work for us for many years. You can always get advice and a great job performed from Don. Don is one of the last old timers whose word is his bond, Gary J.

The pricing is confusing. I was charged an $89 fee to show up which I understood as what would typically be the diagnostic fee and then $125/hr. The guy was here for 20 min, could not actually do the repair, and needed to go do research to see if the parts were available to do the work and I am left with a $214 bill. As an architect who works with construction people on a daily bases, this is not how I have ever seen someone do business. I would say to make sure that they have the capability to do the job and get everything in writing beforehand.
