Best Electricians in Chicago, IL

Fast, on time, honest service.  We asked for a pre home inspection of our electrical panel, expecting news that we'd need to a good amount of cleaning up (it's from the 1970's) but Ted took his time to thoroughly examine, and confidently determined it's in great order, safe, etc.  He said it was up to code and there was no reason to do anything to it.  What a huge relief.  He is putting it on letterhead for us, for a future home inspection for peace of mind.  Very minimal charge for his service.  I am highly recommending Kinetic Energy (and Ted!) - they were honest, amazing!!

Needed an electrical outlet moved and a light fixture replaced quick. Cliff was very accommodating and professional! Highly recommend him for all electrical needs!

Despite a friend's recommendation and a great initial consultation, our project - a remodel of our front entry, stairway and sunroom - would have been a major failure. I used an architect Hilman recommended, which didn't prevent problems, but caused several issues we had to fix. Despite listing our priorities for the project, having detailed lists, carefully reviewing contracts and plans and many pre-work meetings, we had quite a few problems along the way, besides the usual stuff you'd expect with a 107-year old home.

Hilman should have known we'd need spray foam insulation throughout to make the enclosed porch habitable year-round so we didn't have to add a spray foam install mid-demo. They should have known the standard height and depth of stairs so we didn't have to start over. They should have known that sidelights are full-length openings to match the door and known not to follow architectural plans that had already proven faulty. They should have known proper heights and locations for lights and outlets so we didn't have to cut into new baseboards. They should have known how to repair stucco. They should have kept the old doorbell and noted that it was wireless. And they should have reached out to follow up at the end of the project.

On the plus side: Hilman was great at the initial consultation, offering collaborative ideas and ways to save money.Two crew members that did most of the work were hard-working, polite and competent so it is not the fault of the workers, but management and planning plus some communication issues. It was clear our remodel was NOT a priority and ended up with just one guy here for the majority of the project, which dragged on. Follow up was poor as well, which months later we learned was due to serious issues with a Hilman staff person, but not hearing anything from the company for months at the finish line was frustrating. It turned out pretty well and the entire front of our house has never been cozier, safer or looked better. But I'm torn between 2 and 3 stars, and don't know if I'd hire Hilman Construction again.

After a brief online review of appliance repair businesses in the area I chose J&J because their outstanding reviews. I was not disappointed. I called and John came the next morning and repaired our dryer which would rotate, but not heat. He fixed the problem within a few minutes and the cost was very reasonable. I highly recommend J&J.

I can not recommend Kevin at Enigma Electrical more highly!  He is a consummate professional, a kind person and a very talented electrician.  I had an urgent project in my vintage condo with VERY old wiring, as my condo was going on the market and the electrical needed to be fixed on a Sunday.  Kevin doesn't normally work Sundays, but he understood my dilemma and urgency and he rearranged his schedule to come and help me on his day off.  He was not only comfortable dealing with a tricky electrical situation, but he was delightful to talk and laugh with.  I couldn't be more grateful!

I hired Frank and his team to install a Tesla wall charger in my garage.  He was incredibly knowledgable and took the time to explain the steps that needed to be done.  I sent him some photos and he stopped by to look at the job in person.  His team came on time, worked expeditiously, and left with professional marks.  Anyone who needs an EV charger installed, Frank is your guy!

I was happy with Joe's work. I called him on a Saturday and he called back immediately. I scheduled an appointment for Monday in the afternoon and he was on time. He fixed my dishwasher and gave me some useful tips on future use. He also checked my garbage disposal, easily fixed a leak underneath my kitchen sink. Then, on my request, took a look at two running toilets and diagnosed the problem immediately. He purchased new parts for the tank and easily installed them. The toilets don't run anymore and the seals in the tank are complete. My water bills should be much lower now. Joe was very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. I was surprised to read the other review that stated Joe didn't clean up after himself. I found Joe did immaculate work, cleaned up after the jobs were finished and came prepared to remove his shoes before walking into my home. He had two loafers with coverings at the ready and slipped those on before entering. The price may be a little high - 45 fee - 95 per hour. But, I have to admit, Joe was able to squeeze A LOT of work into those two hours. I would highly recommend Joe and would certainly use him again.

Great job & in a timely manner.  Very nice guys.

Give them a call if you ever need electrical assistance! :)

Half of the outlets didn't work in our kitchen and we couldn't figure out why. We called JMR and Jose was very polite and professional on the phone. Luckily he was going to be in the area so he got us in quickly. He was very through! He would not stop until he found our answer and kept us informed the whole time. He was very reasonably priced too. Jose is the owner who serviced us

Jaime did a great job. Was quick to respond to our request, was at our house in under 48 hours, and fixed a problem with the ceiling fan install that the handyman couldn't figure out. All these during turbulent times.
Will be hiring him for any future electrical issues.

Had a Tesla charger installed today. Lee and Armani were professional and respectful. I was a little nervous because we had another company do some work in the house previously and it was somewhat of a disaster. Communication with the office staff at Fail Safe was courteous and efficient. Payment was easy and the team showed up on time. It was a great experience! We will be having them return for some additional work as we finish some renovations to the house.

I did not use their service so can not rate
JD electric.

 I gave JD electric a professional detail  work in writing through text/email of the work needed to upgrade my homes electrical panel material and all. JD electric then gave me an estimate that was within our budget. 

However, after stopping by the house he quoted another estimate that was $1200 dollars over the original quote.

Im not mad or disputing his new quote.
If that is the price that he is charging.
I would not want him to be cheated from his work pay.

However, after shopping around for more rates we were able to find a local license electrician
(5 Star review) that was able to work with us at a very reasonable price.

James did an awesome job helping me figure out my door bell situation. He was very responsive to my messages. He's super knowledgeable and friendly. He was even able to explain to me the mechanism of how all the wires could work (because my doorbell had 12+ wires too it instead of the standard 3) in simpler terms. Overall, I would highly recommend him. Thank you!

Terrible service, felt scammed the entire time. Tried to up charge me by hundreds of dollars. Took advantage of me not knowing electrical issues. Tried to charge me $650 for what second electrician I called told me was $120 worth of repairs. Beyond frustrating company to work with.

They probably nice people having a bad day, but I called just to get some info and got hung up on twice. The first time I was hung up on soon as I finished my question. Then I thought the phone might have just messed up, no biggie. I call back get immediately put on hold and 90 seconds in it picks up and I get hung up on again. Not trying to be a bother, just was interested in your services and prices.
