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 called All Power Electric the night before thanksgiving for an issue we were having with our circuit breaker. They calmly explained what we should do and promptly showed up the next morning as promised. Tony was extremely professional, respectful of our home, and explained everything in detail. There were no surprises and we are so glad we called this company. We will definitely use them again without hesitation.

Prompt, professional and courteous! Both guys wore booties and face masks. Replaced (3) kitchen ceiling light fixtures, (2) flush mount and (1) hanging fixture. Completed the work in 1 hour. Very fair pricing! Would definitely use Excel for future electrical services. Thank you!

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.

Dion did a fantastic job installing two ceiling fans at my house! He had to enter the attic and cut some holes, but he did it all with a minimum of mess and disruption. His price was very fair and quoted in advance, and the whole job was done quickly. He also gave some great advice and helped me make sure the solutions worked for my family. I will definitely use his services again next time I need an electrician, and I highly recommend him.

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 came home to a partial power outage; some low-power devices were working, my lights were dim, but no electrically demanding units were operating. I called John's number and was actually able to speak to him within a few rings. I explained the situation and he very patiently and pleasantly explained that the issue was probably with ComEd--instead of coming out and charging me for nothing, he honestly explained that in his experience, the best thing to do would be to call ComEd's emergency line and get a technician out there asap to check their lines. I did so, and ComEd actually confirmed the problem was on their end and would be remedied shortly. In addition to that, John assured me he would come out later the same day if, in fact, ComEd were unable to remedy the issue. I am EXTREMELY impressed with John's demeanor, honesty, and professionalism. I will absolutely refer to him for all future electrical needs. Thank you for being such a good guy.

I recently moved to the Evanston area. I was very unsure re: how to operate the Nes Pro thermostat that came with my condo unit. I had no clue how to use it to get my a/c working. I have never been good at operating basic mechanical equipment (let alone a device that appeared to me to be waaay out of my league). I am retired, have health issues for which a/c is needed.
I made Service Max aware of my issues. The technician and the office support staff went out of their way to help me. I insisted on having what appeared to me to be a tech saavy thermostat removed, and replaced.  He brought a few models for to me to consider. Gave great information that I could understand.  I selected the one that I felt confident in my ability to operate immediately upon installation. I slept soundly last night. Thanks Service Max. Oh, and he was here and gone in about 30-40 minutes.

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.

I absolutely love Johny! I recently purchased my first home and I reached out to this company after another company was 5 hours late to my consultation. Volts & Watts is now my one and only option. Not only was I given a same day consultation (and on time) Johny was able to install the vision I was looking for in little to no time at a better rate than what I was originally going to pay. My lights are perfect and give my home such a beautiful modern new look.

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.

ABS was recommended by a residential lighting retailer.  I emailed them on a Saturday, and got a response the next day!  We scheduled an appointment for an estimate, then received a quote a few days later.  The ABS team came out promptly at the agreed upon time, and were extremely professional.  They installed a medium-sized chandelier in a vaulted foyer in about an hour.   Highly recommended!!  Bryan Rice and the ABS team will not disappoint.

I had InTown Electric replace an existing bathroom fan that I had vented out through my roof. Unfortunately the bathroom fan was quite loud and seemed to be blowing air into the bathroom than sucking it out. Tom came back on a Saturday (a day they are normally closed) and discovered that the insulation contractors I had hired had cut corners when venting the fan through the roof such that the vent was plugged by insulation. After discovering this problem that was clearly not his fault, out of his own pocket, Tom went and bought new duct work to vent the fan properly. Even after I offered to pay for his additional services, he refused saying that all that was important was that we were happy with the work even if the problem wasn't his fault.

In my experience, Tom is a man of commendable character and a business owner I respect. I would not hesitate to work with him and InTown electric again and would highly recommend them.

The work was done well and efficiently The workers were courteous and neat . Overall , good , but pricey .

Sal was great.  We had a chandelier to hang here in West Rogers Park and he was over in under an hour after calling out of the blue on a Saturday.  He also rotated another chandelier several degrees in another room for no extra cost.  He was very enthusiastic and good to work with.

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.

Shock Tech was referred to me from a mom's group and they were just amazing.  They installed a media enclosure for me and did such a great job that I asked them to come out again to install canned lights in several rooms.  Once we discussed my needs, I received an email estimate that detailed out the work and the estimate was very reasonable.  Jaime was always on time and texted to confirm when they were arriving.  They did amazing work and always left the areas clean.  I'm so happy that I found them and will be referring them to everyone I know.

Don is a bit slow on the draw, and forgets to follow-up at times.  He is climbing up in his years, and I think should be about ready to retire, but despite his occasional forgettfulness, he is a great guy, down-to-earth, and knows his electrical buisness.  He is fair and guarantees his work.  I highly recommend Don Carmen Electric

Had my faucet fixed recently by them & was very satisfied. They're polite,  efficient, skillful, & knowledgeable handymen. 10/10 recommend!
