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!

These guys are reliable, responsive and professional!
I am very satisfied with the service I received for replacing a GFCI outlet. The price was also competitive and fair. I highly recommend them.

Omar did excellent job on our electrical work. project,,,installed conduit and outdoor outlets for deck and landscape lighting .He knows his stuff....appreciate the quiet professional approach...he does not waste a lot of time talking a lot of nonsense but just comes in and gets the job done. answered all questions thoroughly ....Pricing was direct and fair...and correlated with the price estimate before work was done..I recommend him without hesitation...

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 was awesome! We put recessed lighting throughout our whole house. It looked incredible. He did the work all in one day, just two days after giving us our quote (which was the best of the three electricians we had come give us quotes). I use him for both our home and business and he will be my electrician for years to come!

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.

Can't recommend John enough- he's amazing. First off, I called few other electricians for my job and John was the first to get back to me to schedule. He was right on time, super friendly, and very efficient. We actually had bought dimmers and ruined them unknowingly and John had spares in his car that were the same brand and half the price. He did work on the two dimmers and we added another job. Great price- great service. If you're looking for a great electrician who knows his stuff and has integrity, John is your guy!

I had an emergency at a rental building on a Tuesday night.  ServiceMax was out within 30 minutes, fixed the broken pipes and was a lifesaver.  Best in the business!

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.

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 recently was looking for a local electrical company to do some panel work in my home.  I requested a quote/availability on Yelp with In Town and received a response within an hour.  We made arrangements for an appointment within the day.

Nick came to do the job and was friendly, prompt, thorough, and explained everything that needed to be done.  I would definitely consider In Town for future activities.

THE BEST!    

We can't say enough good things about David Patterson.  He does outstanding work, is incredibly responsive and helpful, and is a pleasure to work with.

David integrated a complete landscape lighting/electrical system into our new patio/landscaping project. We had no experience with this type/scale of project and David patiently explained every step of the process, answered all of our questions, and was always brimming with great ideas.  He is fabulously knowledgeable, his guidance was spot on, and we are extremely pleased with how everything turned out.

In addition to being so helpful, David was the quintessential professional.  He was responsive, reliable, flexible, efficient, clean, and friendly.  

David also went over and above our expectations in many different ways; like emailing us pictures during construction to document the underground wiring; like making lawn trenches and wires disappear; like leaving the place cleaner than he found it; like re-planting a 100 lb. boxwood that needed moving; like making sure he was present every time the city inspector stopped by; like spending hours in the hot sun chiseling through cement to re-install conduit and wiring that was damaged by a different contractor.  

David has also installed several interior switches and outlets in our home, as well as spent a great deal of time with us investigating and discussing potential future projects.  No matter how small or big the job, David always brings his signature blend of helpful attitude and creative suggestions ensuring the best possible solution for your home, and an enjoyable experience for you.

We highly recommend David for any type of electrical project.

Sal answered my first call and came to the house 2 hours later to replace a GFI switch that was causing power to be cut off from Garage. professional and knows what he is doing.  Highly recommend

Steve came to our condominium to install an outlet in the laundry room and a pair of ceiling fixtures in the dining room. Steve worked diligently first installing the outlet. Steve ran wire through a narrow wall placing the outlet in a better place than I imagined was possible. Then working overhead he drilled into our hard concrete ceiling. He measured and exactly placed two pendent lights.  This install was done correctly and no touch up painting was required. Thank you to everyone at Corrigan & Freres. We appreciate Steve's attention to detail.

Jaime has been great during our whole house remodel. He had to install an additional panel because we needed more amps due to the number of outlets and appliances being added.  He identified everything that was needed and implemented it.  He also put can lights in multiple rooms, in-cabinet and under-cabinet lightning in the kitchen and Butler's pantry, installed 7 ceiling fans, and a light lift in the foyer among other things.  He has been back multiple times to install lights and do other work and every time he has been great to work with.  He is extremely accommodating and patient whenever I ask him to change something around that my ADD doesn't like.  He sets a great example for Jorge his apprentice (who is also a high quality individual) and for  passing the knowledge on to the next generation of electricians.  I highly recommend Shock Tech 2 - you won't be disappointed!

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.

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