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!

Called Tony around 2:00 pm and told him the outlet in the kitchen was out and the heater wasn't working.  Tony said he would arrive at 5:00 which he did.  Tony fixed both issues within 30 minutes and he was very nice and funny.  Great job

Thanks

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'd highly recommend to anyone.  They've been out to my home a couple of times and have always done a great job. I had a circuit breaker replaced and a back porch light that had gone out a couple of years ago.  They did a great job.
I'd highly recommend their services.

Thanks, Dan, for referring this company to me.

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!

Frank Perlongo did a lot of electric work in my old Berwyn bungalow.  He's very reasonable and does top quality work. He's a perfectionist!  I will always call him for any job, big or small. I highly recommend him.  He had to re-do my ceiling fans and other electric that was done incorrectly. He really knows his stuff!

Contacted this guy on Monday for an estimate and said text him the address for a Sat appointment. I tried to confirm for Sat and he said he can come on Sunday evening instead. After changing my schedule around to accomodate the new confirmed time. He doesn't show up or call at all.

I have a new condo with dual HVAC systems so I joined the ServiceMax service because it was a great deal. A technician came by to check out each one and did a very good job. Cleaned the reusable filter and cleaned the lines. Two weeks later I had a problem with one of the thermostats and called ServiceMax in to check it out. They were able to send a technician in within a few hours and he found the problem right away. First, I was shocked that I could see a technician on the same day. Jenny got that done. If you need a very good HVAC service I highly recommend ServiceMax. Thank you Jenny and Mike for helping me out that day. I'm a ServiceMax client forever.

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.

My new home was in need of a ton of new lighting and electrical work. When Jonathan came out to give his estimate, I knew he was the right guy for the job for many reasons. He was communicative, thorough, and very knowledgeable. I had a pretty clear vision for what I wanted, so he listened and made sure he understood every detail to get the project done right. There were also a few areas where I was uncertain and he provided me with some really awesome options that ended turning out even better than I could have imagined. Jonathan is a real pro and he will definitely be my go-to for any electrical needs.

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.

Our Condo building uses ABS Electric for our common area electrical repairs and equipment replacement.  Have not had a job they could not do.
My wife and I had used them in the past in our condo unit for a chandelier move and adding a couple of dimmer switches.  All went well.
Today we used them to add two ceiling can lights with dimmer switches and rough out a wall in our bedroom so we could add an electric fireplace.  More work then I imagined but they tackled the job of moving conduit pipes that where there, adding a junction box and another  two outlets. Brian and Jason were on time, worked hard, did a couple of great installations and left the area neat and clean.I thought the price was fair. I feel comfortable recommending ABS Electric to my condo neighbors.

I needed to have some relatively minor electrical work done and I hired InTown Electric after getting a few estimates.  Everything about this company is top-notch.  Tom was punctual for his estimate and for the job.  He recommended only what I really needed (which I very much appreciate), called me when he was done, and was completely professional throughout.

Please don't think twice about hiring InTown Electric if you need work done.  They really are superb.

Questionable business practices and incredibly unprofessional behavior.  I would advise steering clear of PES for your electrical needs.

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 are really professional. I need to change the electrical panel and my friend recommended Mike. He came to my house and inspected and told me there is no need to upgrade to the more expensive 200 A panel since there are not many high power equipment. Later to convince the village that there is no need to upgrade, he came again to take photos. The quote he gave me is also very reasonable. And during the day when his staff came to work, Mike also came later to inspect and answer any questions I had. So I really appreciate their service. Both Mike and his staff are really good. The only concern would be that they don't have many people, and might have a lot of work load, so it might take some time to arrange the work date.

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.

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