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 wish I could give more than 5 stars. This was an all-around excellent experience, from start to finish.

My project was an 18-foot residential ceiling installation of a large (55-inch diameter) custom chandelier with 48 arms that required assembly, installation of a dimmer switch, and disposal of the ceiling fan that was in place previously.

* Contacted business after business hours on a weekday, received immediate post-COB response for next day assessment/quote;
* After assessment and quoting the next day, received a detailed quote and execution scheduling for the following day (!);
* The following day, All Power Electric deployed 3 people; their work was extremely fast, clean, and thorough.

I couldn't recommend All Power Electric highly enough, and we will definitely use them for future residential 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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

We hired a service from Angi's List to have a wall knocked down in our home.    Sooo we had to have some electricity rerouted. The electrician, they brought with them, completely bailed on us and left us with wires hanging and outlets exposed. With two boys and two dogs we had to find an electrician reliable and fast. We gave Johnny a call and he really came through for us. He  was friendly, reasonable, and just an over all a really cool guy. The electrical  work was neat and thorough. We will be using his services for our basemanent and any other future projects.

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 highly recommend ABS Electric. They did a fantastic job during a home remodel. Installed a new electric panel, canned lighting, recessed led lighting, new wiring and more. They exceeded my expectations, kept all their timing commitments and truly stand behind their work!!!

In Town remains 5 star all the way.  I've since had them come do additional relatively small jobs, all excellent.  Even better, they stand behind their work no matter what (I'm NOT meaning to imply they did poor work, sometimes things just fail).  This is something you don't see every day anymore, but greatly appreciated as a customer.  All this combined will keep me a LOYAL customer for all my electrical work.  Thanks again, In Town.

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 was great. I lost power to my bedroom outlets and after checking the circuit breakers and replacing the outlet myself, i was out of ideas.  Sal came and was very thorough to diagnose the problem.  Instead of opting to take a shortcut (as i even suggested) he dug into finding the root of the problem. Everything was fixed perfectly.  I would recommend Sal to anyone.

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.   :-)

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

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.
