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 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.

Exceptional family-owned business.  Uriel and his father do a great job.  Professional and efficient.  We needed our wiring evaluated in a section of our industrial facility. What we thought would be a complicated job was evaluated, repaired, and replacement parts installed in under an hour.  Reasonable rates too.  Highly recommend.  Montoya is now our go-to electrician service.

Best electricians I've worked with, hands down. They did great work, promptly, and with care for design and space. Not only were they best bid I'd received, but they did the work in half the time that anybody else had said would be needed.

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!

If you are having trouble with your electrical, CALL JOHN!!! What a great experience. John came shortly after I called him and explained everything to me as he went along! He was courteous, professional, and very fair!! I am planning on doing some more work in the near future and will for sure be using John!

Super nice workers: this estimate came in 20% less than the others, but quality was not compromised. I had a ductless a/c system with Mitsubishi products. I love it-don't know why I waited so long!

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 requested a quote for the installation of can lights in my kitchen, and Tom from InTown Electric was one of the first to come back with a quote.  In addition, Tom actually provided a cost estimate without coming on scene, something others were not willing to do.  Tom, and Nick, were a pleasure to work with from the very beginning.  They made my small job feel like it was as important to them as it was to me.  Not only was scheduling easy, Nick finished the install sooner than expected and below the quoted cost amount.  Tom came by after the job for a quality inspection.  I would highly recommend InTown Electric, and I will be calling them for all my future electrical needs.

We needed an EV charger installed in our garage and Patterson Electrical Service was a great experience! Everyone on the project was very responsive and helpful. The work was done quickly and matched the estimate given. Overall, fantastic experience! Will definitely use them again for any future electrical projects we need done around the house.

Sal is the best! I called with two separate electrical issues and he was out within 48 hours each time (same day for one issue) and had everything installed in a few hours. We really appreciated the work he did, and highly recommend Sonar Electrical Co. for any electrical issues.

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.

I reached out to Shock Tech 2 to request a quote for a porch light that flickers or doesn't turn on only when it's cold out, and a garage keypad that had recently started flickering, as well. Because I know very little about electrical wiring, I was worried the two were related and costs would be high. Jamie, the owner, quickly responded back that he was booked out for a while, but that the garage keypad could just be a battery issue with a simple fix. It turns out it was. He saved me a lot of money and left me with the impression that this company has integrity and is trustworthy. When you use the feature of Yelp to get quotes from multiple businesses, the prices range so much, you don't know what you're getting. I have bookmarked Shock Tech 2 for any future repairs because I now trust them more than the competition. Thank you!

I love Don. He will give you an honest price and do an honest job. In my book, it doesn't get better than that.

Our door was forced open and the frame was damaged.  Al came over and fixed it to where you could barely tell it had been broken.  It was quick and reasonably priced.  I plan to use this company again for other projects we have.
