Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

Stefan is great! He helped us install a 240V outlet for our EV charger. He is reliable, easy to communicate with, and efficient with his work. I highly recommend.

Sims and Sons came to give a quote for installing a chandelier in the dining room and ended up getting straight to work upon arrival. It took three guys about two hours to get it hooked up. They mounted it flawlessly and added extra anchors to ensure it's security -- it is 51lbs. Outstanding and professional. I will definitely use this company for future work.

I had reached out on a neighborhood Facebook page looking for a recommendation and so glad I did! This company was so prompt and efficient with their work.  Marianne truly delivers exceptional customer service in the office. Her friendliness is a breath of fresh air when it comes to getting work done. They are very knowledgeable about pulling permits in the city and making sure work is up to code.  My only regret is we didn't know about them sooner! Fantastic local company!

Ted and his son were great!  Ted was very responsive in getting me a quote and setting up an appointment time.  He confirmed with me the day of, and showed up on time.  He installed light fixtures and changed a switch for me.  Pointed something out that would have been a huge mistake on my part as to the type of lighting fixture that I had purchased.  Very friendly guys, I will not hesitate in contacting them again in the future for any electrical work.

Not sure of relationship between reviewer on June 27 and Joe. But I will factually restate what happened on my first and only experience with Joe. He call me at about 11:00 to say he would arrive in 20 min. He arrived about 11:20. Fixed 2 bad switches easily. Then started on the main project, a lighting fixture on our kitchen ceiling. It was a fluorescent fixture with 8 bulbs, custom done. He tried to fix it and recommended upgrade to LED. That did not work. He then said that he could not fix it and I would have to buy a new fixture. He then did proceed to try to fix it more and cut 11 wires (I still have the 11 wires he cut out) while swearing. He then said that it could not be fixed, and we would have to buy a new one. He then charged me $150. I asked for a receipt of labor and parts. He said he did not do that for such a small job. I asked how much the labor was for 1 hour - it was now 12:20. He said he arrived at 11:00. I reminded him that he called me at 11:00 and arrived at 11:20. He then dropped the price to $125 - so I assume $75 for labor (what he had told me his hourly rate was) and $50 for parts (parts being 2 small plastic light switches) A place he recommended to call to get a light replacement confirmed my belief that this would be custom new lighting and extremely expensive. I called another electrician, who came over, replaced the wiring that was cut by Joe and had the light working that day with much better lighting than the fixture had previously. This new electrician gave me an appropriate bill with labor and parts appropriately identified (cheaper hourly rate than Joe I must add). So not sure who Aaron is but given his quick response to my review, I am a little suspect. Do what you want - just want others to avoid my experience.

For all you single women, first time homeowners, who are getting ripped off out there, search no more. Chris is an honest professional. He's done mutliple jobs at my place now and trust me, I've searched the quotes. His work is clean, up to code, and even educates me on the do's and don'ts. For me, this goes a long way. His communication is exceptional, his thoroughness is easily visible, and he keeps it real. when you find a good contractor you share him, because there are a lot of contractors out there that are so demanding and the job is total trash ass. That's the worst.

We had issues with an outdoor outlet nuisance tripping during heavy rain, even after having a new cover installed.  Unfortunately this outlet shared a circuit with our bedroom and office outlets, so the tripping caused heavy disruption.   It was particularly bad very early one morning after a stormy night, which left me scrambling at 7:15am trying to find an electrician.  Greenline answered immediately and was able to come out later that afternoon.  After some troubleshooting and exploratory work, the recommendation was to put the GCFI outlet on a dedicated circuit to prevent further disruption.  They came back the next day and did so quickly and efficiently, and even replaced the cover with a more durable one.  They also thoughtfully replaced our old and worn bedroom light switches and a scarred outlet for free - I really appreciated their thoughtfulness here.  They did all this for a very reasonable price and were easy to work with and communicative every step of the way.  I highly recommend them if you need any electrical work done!

I called Ryan in the early evening and within 3 hours he was at my apartment and installed an outlet.   He is knowledgeable, friendly and easy to work with.

I've found my new go-to electrician. I chat with Boz about what I need and he sets up a team that can be at my door within a day or so. I've now had Ben, Gerardo, Rolando and Hugo work on my new condo, and they all have done a stellar job. Work has ranged from adding track lighting to installing power/AV for a wall mounted television.  I would recommend them to anyone looking to have work done in their home!

Great job all the way around!!! Excellent work, fantastic attention to detail. Am definitely going to hire again.

I used tweaks & finishes to help me install some outlets and light switches in various parts of my home. They were fast, professional and reliable. Quick replies to all text messages and good communication overall. I would recommend to others!

I hired Jake and Urban Power to add two electrical meters and relocate the circuit breakers out of the garden unit to a common area so all tenants could have access to them at my 3-Flat property.  He is a master of his craft and did a great job providing solutions to the issues I presented and working efficiently on the install and relocation as well as managing the permitting process with Com-Ed.  He has deep experience working with rental properties and gave me some great insights to add value to the property including installing security lighting which I hired him to do as well.  I would highly recommend Jake and Urban Power for any electrical job big or small.

I used Neville to hard wire sconces in one bedroom and take care of some switches in another room. He provided a 2 hour window when he would start, but realized early in the day he'd be late. While he was about 30 min later than the window he gave me, he let me know very early in the day, and made it clear he'd stay late to finish the work that day if it became an issue. He gave multiple updates to let me know the progress of the earlier job and his ETA. As far as the work goes, he gives you the pricing up front, and he made sure to explain everything before he does it, to make sure you are comfortable with whats being done and to make sure any cutting is done in the place you want. As others mentioned, he communicates through texts, which is really easy. Great work, I'll use him again.

We've used Kinetic Energy for some small jobs and liked them very much.  Just recently we hired them to (1) to remove an existing dual bulb motion sensor floodlight and then, in it's place, set up a Ring-brand motion sensor with a camera and floodlights on the alley side of our garage, and (2) install a Ring-brand doorbell camera/motion sensor on our front door.  The work included making sure both units were connected to our WiFi and working properly.  We got an estimate for the work weeks before we could get on the schedule.  Today we got the invoice for the completed work, and it was exactly the same amount as the estimate.  The installer Steve was very friendly, efficient, explained well what he was doing and didn't leave so much as a speck of dust when he was done.  This is an Oak Park business, owned by Oak Park residents.  SHOP LOCAL!

TOM Electric Services is an excellent company for electrical repairs. The electricians are extremely knowledgeable and experienced. They provide great customer service and have always been able to answer questions, solve problems, and other issues with my electrical system. I highly recommend them!

Frank is very professional.  Showed up when he said he would, explained what he was doing, and even provided a lower price than what he first quoted.  I will definitely call him again for any electrical job.  Highly recommend!

Pros: responsive, punctual, honest, respectful of my home, fair pricing
Cons: none found
Alex did a great job replacing a broken switch. He responded quickly to my initial request and was fast in communicating throughout the scheduling process. We are very happy with the quality of work.
We'll likely have to have most of our old wiring replaced and are looking forward to have Alex and his team back. Seems to be a newer company, and I'm glad we took a chance on them.

What a waste of time. We had a repair problem. I called this company. Sent them numerous instructions, pictures, details about the repair needed. This company assured me that it would not be a problem to do the job. I spent my day at home waiting for them to arrive and scheduled time out of work. First the technicians arrive late. Then they tell me that they can't do the job. A complete waste of time, can not recommend
