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!

Tony was great. He got my message at noon on Saturday after thanksgiving and by 3:00 we were done with all repairs complete. Highly recommended.

I've not received any incentives to write this review.

Excel did amazing work. They were focused, efficient, flexible, neat, courteous and very affordable. Minor corrections/modifications were addressed immediately and to our complete satisfaction. I was most impressed by how Omar and his crew worked with us in the planning stages. They listened closely, offered solid advice and did quality work. We'll be calling them again as we do more.

Highly recommended from a fairly critical and cautious homeowner.

I recently bought a new home and needed to re-wire some of the work done by the last owner as well as install some outdoor lighting. They were informative, professional, and fairly priced. They gave me a complimentary inspection in light of the issues they noticed. It worked out in the end and I'm very satisfied.

Dion has done two projects for us in two different (very old) houses and has done a fantastic job in both. Efficient and honest, will troubleshoot with you and give you his straightforward opinion on what can be done and the options for making it work. I appreciate his knowledge and his skill!

The epitome of customer service.  Frank Perlongo is good, no great, and performs work as though it was being performed on his own home.

About a month ago I moved into a studio in Logan Square, and from the time I previewed the apartment to the time I moved in, the ceiling light had lost power. There was a horrible noise every time I tried to turn on the light and I definitely felt a little shock go through my system. After complaining to the building management and waiting almost three weeks with no contact, I decided to take matters into my own hands.
After calling around and being given wait times of about a week before an electrician could come out to even look at my place, John promptly told me he could be there the next day. He showed up on time, listened to my concerns, and immediately got to work. By taking the situation and my preferences into account, John was able to have my problem fixed in under an hour with minimal mess and absolutely no fuss. It was outstanding! I have never received this kind of service before! Hopefully I won't be needing any electrical work done any time soon, but if I do, I'm definitely calling John again!

Our Central Air conditioner was not working. There was no air for a week. I was looking on the internet for a reliable company. Then I found Malek Heating and Cooling. I was reading their customer reviews. They have all 5 stars rating. I called them 6/07/2011 around noon. Mike called me back. He said he will come late at night. Mike came and fixed our air conditioner. Mike said he will come back the next day to replace our thermostat.I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for heating and cooling services. They are very reasonable compared to other companies out there. George and Mike are very nice guys! Thank you very much!

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.

I work for a lighting store and we've recommended ABS electric numerous times. We always hear the best complements about them plus they're very knowledgeable. There are few companies we trust when dealing with certain projects and I never hesitate to let clients know about them.

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.

Dave saved me!  after spending hours trying to install a new thermostat (i'm not at all handy) I called Patterson's.  he arrived in 15 minutes and had me up and running in no time.

Sal is wonderful!  He was referred to me by the treasurer of another condo association after I found myself in desperate need of an electrician to repair the nonfunctioning sconces in the dark interior staircase of our building.  I called Sal late on a Friday and he arrived promptly the following  frigid, snowy Saturday morning and and methodically and diligently set to work.  It took him about two hours to solve the problem and his fee was very fair.  I highly recommend Sal and hope to have him back to make electrical upgrades to my unit.

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.

So happy we found Shock Tech 2. Jamie (the owner) recently installed Tesla EV charger in our garage that required running about 60ft of conduit from the basement to garage. Jamie did a fantastic job! Very impressed! I appreciated his consistent communication throughout the entire process and was very happy that my work was able to be completed within days after receiving the quote. The pricing was also competitive comparing to another quote I got. Will definitely use them again for future electrical work (I'm already planning to hire him to tackle some smaller projects I have). Highly recommend.

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.

Called this guy out of a recommendation, had horrible experience talking to him, very rude and disrespectful! Stay away !!
