Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

Stefan did a great job in installing our chandeliers and doing small switch fixes. He explained the problems well wherever we had any complex issue, and gave offered good solutions as well.

I'd highly recommend Stefan to anyone getting electrical work done

Very happy we contacted Sims and Sons for our projects. We needed a couple ceiling fans removed and replaced, as well as several outlets, including safety, changed out. Elvir did a wonderful job and it was done carefully but quickly. Also pleased that we contacted Darrell on a Saturday and had an estimate, the job scheduled, and everything fully completed by that Tuesday. Highly recommend and we will be using them again in the future!

This is a follow up to my previous review.  In short, T&D told me I needed a new transformer for my chandelier and that I had to find and order the transformer myself.  T&D would not order it.  It turns out T&D was 100% wrong.  I only needed new wire nuts that cost about $1.  T&D charged me $135 to incorrectly tell me that I needed a new transformer.  
Previous review: T&D was atrocious.  I do not think they are qualified to handle most electrical services.  I called them and explained that a chandelier was no longer working after the circuit breaker tripped one time.  The electrician came out and said that I needed a new transformer inside of the chandelier but they would NOT order it because they considered it a special order part.  Since they do not order parts, they should have told me that when I called.  I never would have had them come out.  To make matters worse the electrician took the chandelier and canopy down but did not want to put it back up.  He wanted to leave wires out in the open.  He eventually put it back up but did not do it correctly.  Now I am out of $135 and have nothing to show for it.  I have to hire another electrician who can order the part and install it.

I recently hired Honey Do Home Electrical to install an EV charger in my detached garage. I could not be happier with the service that Ted provided throughout the process. Ted was extremely responsive throughout the process, provided a timely and competitive estimate, scheduled the installation that worked for my schedule, and completed the work with high quality.

I plan to use Honey Do again for my future electrical needs and would highly recommend them to my friends and neighbors.

My wife and I are in the middle of a whole bunch of improvement projects right now while we remodel our 1923 house. After getting a few different estimates for electrical work, we ended up hiring Joe to re-do our service (updating an old 60amp fuse box from the 40s to 100amp service with a breaker), update our old ungrounded outlets, and install some fans and light fixtures. The price we got was great for the work he was going to do, and for the quality of the work that he did.

I have to say that of the multiple contractors we've dealt with for various projects over the past 6 months during our remodeling, so far Joe is the only one who, to put it simply, did what he said he was going to do, when he said he was going to do it, for how much he said it would be. No BS, no excuses, and quick to respond to questions we had. If all the contractors we've been working with for other projects were as good to us as Joe was, I'd have a few less gray hairs coming in. Next time we need electrical work done, we know who we'll be calling.

I needed some electrical work done in my garage and MNC did great work.  Quick response, quality work and a good price.  I recommend.

I live in a real old house in Oak Park, tried to replace the possibly just as old light fixture on the porch myself and ran into a lot of rust and stripped wires and stuff I was not expecting so I knew I needed professional help. Edward at Greenline had Esteban out here in just a couple of days (would've been even sooner if I was available) and the job took 15 minutes and it looks great!

Ryan has been extremely responsive to our service requests.  Each time when we have explained our issue and the urgency (different kinds of contractors were arriving for the non-electrical elements of the project), Ryan was able to visit on relatively short notice and within the window quoted.  The 2nd time was an evening but, we were close enough to another job he was finishing and we were not charged any kind of after hours surcharge.

Ryan is professional but friendly and each time, went went out of his way to educate us.

I highly recommend his services.

I can't say enough about these guys!!!  I reached out to 3-4 electricians to get a quote to install 3 unique ceiling fans.  Their quote came in lower than most of the others, but I just got a good feeling when speaking to the lady on the phone.  They seemed much more straightforward than the other guys.  The lights took some assembly, and it took their electrician (who was SO friendly and hard working) half a day to install them, due to the fact that two were not working from the factory.  He spent more than an hour on the phone with customer service trying to diagnose the problem.  I thought, great...now I have to wait a few more days and pay double to have them installed given how much time they spent.  I was wrong.  He offered to come back when the new lights came in.  WOW!  That's customer service.  These guys have earned my business for as long as I can imagine!

Rogelio did a good job on our building. Repaired some outlets, in the apartment, garage, and outside of the building. He shared photos of his progress. We talk over the phone to clarify details and got a quote on the spot for additional work that was necessary and was finished the same day after getting the parts needed.
He is also bilingual, what helps communicating easier for a larger population group.
All good overall.

I wanted to give a big thanks to Jose and Rodney for the fantastic job they did in our home! We had an entire room needing new recessed lighting where there was none before. They got the job done in a timely fashion and the result is beautiful. We also had sconces put in a wall which never had fixtures there before. Several other electricians quoted a similar price as Tweaks and Finishes, but would not do the patch and paint work for the damages done in the process; they said I would have to hire someone else to patch the holes in the wall! Jose and Rodney did it all, from installation, to patching and painting, from start to finish. No one else that I spoke to offered this complete service! These guys are a great team and are great at what they do.

I highly recommend Tweaks and Finishes for any job, big or small, and will be happy to work with them in the future!

Recently used Urban Power to have third panel installed at my 2 flat in Logan Square and the needed infrastructure installed to house a new third meter.  I found Jake to be easy to work with. I feel all work was completed satisfactorily and in a timely manner.  I also felt the pricing was fair compared to other quotes I received.  I felt some of the other quotes I received, the companies were trying to over sell me.  Jake quoted the proper materials need to get the job done.  I would gladly use Jake again in the future and recommend him.

Several observations:

While Neville's employee, Johnny, is usually a pleasant and bright worker, when I pointed out that the light on the fan he installed was not attached properly on one side and was hanging down a bit, he gave me a challenging sort of look. i didn't react to the look, and later saw that he had corrected it without comment, so thanked him. But he was silent on the subject from start to finish and I got the feeling Johnny likes to think of himself a benefactor and not simply an electrician capable of human error.

Neville had the same attitude. He put in, without asking, slider controls for two overhead living room fans, which I have been told by previous electricians can cause a hum. No big deal but we had a loud hum in each fan so I asked for the sliders to be removed. Johnny took them out and the hum was significantly reduced, but again he was pretty much silent throughout. Any further discussion of the remaining hum was greeted coldly.

When my daughter went directly to Neville to try to discuss the fans a bit more, (texting him of course), he answered crisply, 'Your fans are under warranty, go to the company if you want the hum gone.' She didn't say it, but actually, no, Neville, they are no longer under warranty as your actions in putting in sliders violated the warranty and left us with no warranty.

We did call them again a few months later, but after Neville took our text and promised to call back he never did. So now we have no option to use them anyway because they fired us.

Kinetic has been great,  as a single mom, who works full time, not in the electrical industry. I am so  grateful to have a company like Kinetic out there.  I am a new home owner, and the home I purchased needed some upgrades. Kinetic responded to my needs, sent someone out immediately. The work was completed in a timely fashion and I was not overcharged,  which was my biggest fear. I will continue to use and recommend Kinetic. If you want fair outstanding service Kinetic won't let you down.

Could not recommend a better electrician!

I had a desire to install ceiling recessed lights and ceiling fans in a few rooms for some time. After doing some research on Yelp, I found Tom and gave him a call. We were able to set up a in-person consultation soon after, where he walked me through the options for recessed LED lights (4in vs 6in) and spacing of said lights. We agreed on an overall plan and start date.

During the project, Tom and his men were timely, clean, and very efficient in their work. They carefully calculated and marked out the placement of the lights and fan on the ceiling in each room for my approval before starting to cut into the drywall. In the end, they had to cut into a surprisingly small amount of the drywall to put everything together. In the two places in each room that they did have to open up the wall, they carefully replaced the drywall, saving me from having to make any large patches before repainting.

I wanted to use a particular smart dimming switch (Brilliant), but it was backordered and did not arrive in time. Tom hooked up everything using temporary switches and came back later to finish the job once they arrived.

Overall, I would definitely use Tom and his men again! I have a couple other projects around the house I've been thinking of (electric car charger, exterior light, replacing track lighting with more recessed lights, etc.) and plan to use Tom for these projects in the future!

Wonderful communication and service from Frank and his father. We couldn't be happier with the installation of our lights, switches, and other necessary repairs. Would highly recommend them for your future home needs.

Very responsive and responsible. Alex tried to help us trouble shoot over the phone to save us money. When that didn't work he showed up promptly, diagnosed the issue, and fixed the bad breaker.

Best pricing around and great young guy working hard for his business. Highly recommended.

Phenomenal experience from start to finish!

Let's start with the booking process - so simple! Everything done online , could easily pick an appointment convenient for us, including going into late evening.

Next, the punctuality - showed up perfectly on schedule (in fact we weren't ready and D'Angelo our Fixer was kind enough to wait).

We had a lot of odd jobs around the house - the most time consuming of which was putting up wallpaper. D'Angelo was clearly experienced, gave a fair estimate of the time and did a phenomenal job.

Finally , settling up was so easy, he set a clock for the time spent doing active work and charge was exactly proportional to time used . Spoke to 3 different handymen and their rate was the most fair and hastle free.

I will request D'Angelo the Fixer anytime we need a hand around the house !
