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 very impressed with the service provided by All Power Electric. Our power went out on a Sunday morning. I called All Power and the response time was very quick. I work with different trades on a daily basis so I can tell you that the service and troubleshooting charges are very reasonable. Tony found a couple of issues and explained what needed to be done, our options, how long it would take to fix and how much it would cost. Everything was finished within a few hours after the initial call. I would recommend All Power Electric to anyone who needs electrical work done.

We just had to have our breaker box replaced and several electrical issues fixed at our home.

We got 3 estimates and Excel Electrical Technologies out of Orland Park was very reasonable.

Their techs that came out were extremely knowledgeable. They were very respectful and cleaned up after their work.

We can't say enough about Excel Electrical

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 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.

What a nice guy. He was available within the hour. He diagnosed and resolved our problem quickly. He reassured us about some of our general concerns, and convinced us that the additional electrical work suggested by others was not necessary. An unexpected repair is always an unhappy situation, but John's visit was really a pleasant experience. It's a good feeling, knowing that we now have an electrician we trust.

We were very impressed with Malek Heating & Cooling. Our old air conditioning system gave out on one of the hottest days this summer.  Our repairman said that it was not worth repairing, since it was over 26 years old. We decided to get four estimates. We called Malek Heating & Cooling in the morning and asked for an estimate to replace both our furnace and air conditioner, and a technician came out the very same day. He arrived on time and was very knowlegeable. The salesperson in the office was also very impressive. We called a couple of times with questions and she got the information right back to us. She also emailed information to us. We decided, in the end, to use another vendor, but our experience and impression of Malek's technician, salesperson, and overall responsiveness to our calls was very favorable. We thought the customer service was prompt, responsive, and very helpful, We were impressed with both the great customer service and good products that are offered.

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.

If you're looking for a reliable, professional and skilled electrician in the Chicagoland area, I highly recommend InTown Electric. Tom and Nick have been exceptional in all of the work they have done for me over the past 5+ years. They've done everything from hanging ceiling fans, installing can lighting and even rewiring an entertainment closet, and I couldn't be happier. I continue to recommend InTown Electric to all of my friends and family because I'm confident that Tom and Nick are the best choice in the area.

So if you're looking for an electrician in the Chicago area, give these guys a call. They are honest, fair, and extremely skilled in what they do. I will definitely be using them again in the future.

David came in and gave a great quote. The job was done quickly and beautifully. Love my new lights.

I called to see if he was available to inspect an item on a punch list. He said not to worry about it, then called me back to give me a piece of his mind about why we waited until the last minute and if we don't like the punch list item then don't buy the house. I'm giving him an extra star for his moxy, but really not looking for a personal opinion or a lecture when I call an electrician. A simple yes I'm available, or not interested will suffice.

My bf and I used Corrigan and Freres for whole house rewiring, replacing  the electric panel, adding outlets, adding a ceiling fan, etc.  They did a great job!  Mike Corrigan, the owner, gave us clear quotes that allowed us to pick and choose what we wanted done.  He got the permit for the work and it passed inspection.  Ron and Oliver were our electricians, who each have decades of experience.  Their work was neat and done in a timely manner.  My boyfriend works from home, so scheduling wasn't a problem for us.    We recommend Corrigan and Freres.   :-)

Very good services.
Although their company can't provide refrigerator repair service, the owner provided accurate information.

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.

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.
