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!

We bought an electric car and needed to upgrade our electrical system in our garage for charging. All Power Electric called me back quickly after my initial inquiry and within a week and a half we had had someone out for a quote and installation. They were professional and efficient and the work was clean and looked great. Tony knew exactly what needed to be done and was on time and easy to work with. Would happily hire again for future electrical projects.

Prompt, professional and courteous! Both guys wore booties and face masks. Replaced (3) kitchen ceiling light fixtures, (2) flush mount and (1) hanging fixture. Completed the work in 1 hour. Very fair pricing! Would definitely use Excel for future electrical services. Thank you!

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.

Highly recommended in every respect. Came out the same day that I called and, seeing that it was quick & easy fix, refused to take payment.

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.

FANTASTIC QUALITY AND SERVICE!  It was the first time we have used John and we selected him based on online reviews, his availability (able to come in the evening) and was easy to communicate with.  We would definitely recommend him to others and will call him again. We had him install a ceiling fan and he was informative, by telling me an honest opinion of the fan I had purchased and why he would not recommend the integrated LED light.  He allowed me to quickly purchase a different fan after laying out the pros/cons of the one I had bought.  He also had all the tools and supplies for the job including a new switch and some new wire.  I also enjoyed spending the evening with him and learning a little about electrical wiring and ceiling fan installation.   Thank You John!

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.

ABS was recommended by a residential lighting retailer.  I emailed them on a Saturday, and got a response the next day!  We scheduled an appointment for an estimate, then received a quote a few days later.  The ABS team came out promptly at the agreed upon time, and were extremely professional.  They installed a medium-sized chandelier in a vaulted foyer in about an hour.   Highly recommended!!  Bryan Rice and the ABS team will not disappoint.

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.

Gave a very reasonable quote to add several new outlets, reroute some unsightly cable wires, repair a spliced alarm wire, and install a new chandelier.

Also a friendly team with good communication.

Our stove had stopped working, and we didn't know if it was the stove itself or the electrical outlet. After working through all the tests a mere renter can do we established that it was the outlet and hopefully not also the stove (fingers crossed). I called 4 companies before calling Sonar. Sal was the only one who answered. When I explained the problem he gave me a quote, as well as other quotes should the work be more involved, and then said that he could be here in half an hour if I wanted. 15 minutes later he was in my kitchen hauling my stove away from the wall and talking a mile a minute at both me and at the outlet. Less than an hour after I called and my outlet was fixed, the price was beyond reasonable, and he cleaned up after himself. I will definitely be calling him again when I am in need, and I would highly recommend him to anyone needing an electrician.

And none of the other companies had even called me back yet.

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.

Jaime got us in same-day for an issue with our 220v outlet in our laundry room. It took him all of 10 minutes to diagnose the issue and another 30 to fix it.

We will definitely be using Jaime with Shock Tech 2 for all of our electrical needs!

Don is a bit slow on the draw, and forgets to follow-up at times.  He is climbing up in his years, and I think should be about ready to retire, but despite his occasional forgettfulness, he is a great guy, down-to-earth, and knows his electrical buisness.  He is fair and guarantees his work.  I highly recommend Don Carmen Electric

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.
