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!

Don't not use this electrician.  Dishonest and lied about services.  Total scam artists.  I first called and they said they would charge $49 for travel fee and troubleshooting.   When the electrician came,  he didn't come and even look at the circuit board.  No trouble shooting done.  Instead he came there to just say he  will charge $300 for any kind of service he will do (different from my phone conversation )-  why didn't you reveal all this during our phone conversation?  Repeat DO NOT USE THIS ELECTRICIAN!  

The electrician was very unprofessional and was arguing what  happen if it's a complicated job,  it's $300!  I said , what happen if it's an EASY job,  and it's $300?!!!   As mentioned,  when I talk to the lady over the phone,  they said they charge differently for different services.   However ,  this cheating electrician want to charge over $300 for not even taking a look at the circuit board.  Very dishonest, rude, and not upfront with their pricing .  DO NOT USE.

I scheduled Excel to come over and replace my doorbell transformer, change our two outdoor lights to motion detector lights, and replace a light fixture in backyard with the exact same brand and stock item because the rust had made it impossible to change the lights on the old one. The fellow arrived with a doorbell transformer that did not fit my description that I gave their office, so he got on the phone with his boss for 10 min, and he figured out the one he had would also work (it does seem to work although it's not the one I requested from Excel that ADT recommended for their Ring doorbell so I guess stay posted whether ADT thinks it's the right one when they come back out). Then, on to the front lights. I thought they were making the existing lights motion lights or even lights that go on at night (putting them on a timer). He gets on the phone again with his boss for 10 min and offers to go out to buy lights, but I like the look of my existing ones, and I don't want to pay for an electrician's time buying lights. I guess they thought I had bought new lights to install. So, we decide to forget that job. He, then, replaced the outside back light with same kind. Total for job? $390. Hmmm...seems a bit high to me. Transformer costs $10-25.00 so that was his only part. He was not here more than 90 min and some of that was phone time with boss. If he's confused about a job, I should not be paying for his time on the phone. I think about the time it took for the two items, and it should have been more like $200-total, not $400. I felt cheated which is too bad--first time this company came out, around 8 years ago, I thought they were amazing. I actually kept their contact information for 8 yrs....but not anymore.

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.

I received True Power Electric as a referral through Service Master.  I was looking for an electrician to put in some recessed lighting and change out some existing fixtures.  Dion Jones called me first thing the next morning and said he could come take a look at 5pm that evening.  After seeing my situation, we scheduled the following Sat to come out and do the work.  I was unsure about my the fixtures I had purchased and exactly what I should do.  He gave me very confident answers on what to do and when he saw my very dim lighting in my bedroom, suggested a couple of cans in there too.  He has a great eye and knows what will work.  Turns out that the wiring in bedroom was constructed very poorly and he was having trouble finding the connections.  I told him we could hold off and I could get the blueprints for him.  When I came back to the room to check on things, he said he finally found the connections and was moving forward.  This took much more time than expected, but the final result was incredible!  I could not be more happy with how smoothly the day went.  His estimate was very reasonable and he did the work in one day.  I had a quote from someone else for more money and multiple days to do the job...In short, Dion is electric rock star!! Look no further!

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

John came by within 90 minutes to assess our power outage. He was quickly able to determine that ComEd's meter labeling was incorrect and the situation was on their end. While he didn't get his hands dirty this time, we'll definitely be giving him a call again to work on installing new fixtures and troubleshooting some gremlins that have surfaced.

Servicemax is the deal! They were very prompt to attend to my needs and answer questions. They even came on time for the appointment. And most of all, they fixed my issues. They price is very reasonable too!

Called on a Friday afternoon and they showed up a couple hours later. They corrected violations caught by a house inspector. Price was very fair. Would definitely use again and recommend to others.

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.

Tom came and spent the entire day at our house fixing outlets and switches and installing ceiling fixtures. He also fixed any existing electrical issues during that process. He took the time to walk us through what needed to do and explained everything to us. I would highly recommend InTown Electric and will use them for any electrical needs we have in the future.

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 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.

Our experience has been horrible.

It started off well and the Electricians are nice people however, management makes them come on their times only and not the time agreed or stated.  Several weeks would go by because they had bigger projects to work on and they told us they were busy and wouldn't even get something on the calendar for us....?

We finally got something on the calendar to finish off our work....the job finally got completed....We had work done to our home to update our electricity to a new breaker box.

A few weeks later we switched a couple switches to off and they wouldn't turn back on....one of these switches controlled our Thermostat in the middle of 28 degree weather....our home is an ice box....  I called early in the morning and the answer I got was we don't know when we can get someone out....we'll try ASAP once their current jobs are completed.  No expected lead time....nothing.....

The service is absolutely nuts...

We reached out to Shock Tech 2 to have ceiling lighting installed in our family room which was dark and lacked natural light. Jaime Barajas did an absolutely fantastic job installing the ceiling lights. It completely transformed the room.  He was completely professional, courteous and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend him in a heartbeat.  Thanks for an outstanding job!

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.

When other handymen refused to work on my job, Rob stepped up with his crew to get it done.  Alex was great when he showed up and got things done quickly.

I would recommend them and use them again.
