Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

AC/DC provided quick response and quality work. He was honest when unable to finish the job but returned soon thereafter and finished a good job.

Hands down the best electricians I have ever used.  Fit me in same day, were friendly, professional, knowledgeable, informative, and thorough.  Were able to diagnose and fix some voltage fluctuation issues that were causing lights to dim and brighten randomly, and outlets to lose power.

If you need electric work done, use Sims and Sons!

Half the side of our kitchen stopped working. No circuit breakers tripped. Assumed it would be $$$$. David showed up right on time and fixed it in under an hour (some melted wires) - and told us what needed to probably be done to fix some wiring that wasn't up to code - with an estimate. Perfection!

Thoroughly knowledgeable and dependable. I live a an 80 year old house with a mix of  80 year old wiring and some newer wiring. Had a switch blow, found the problem, fixed, didn't overcharge and out of our hair in a couple hours. Definitely recommend Ted from Honey Do.

Very well satisfied with Joe at Wirenuts.
On time, very good work, works in a effective manner.  And is fair in his pricing.

First of all, I rarely write reviews but I was so impressed I felt the need to write this one.  I needed a light switch replaced in my kitchen.  Chris responded quickly with a very fair estimate yesterday and was able to schedule an appointment for today.  Chris is professional, courteous, efficient and very reasonable with his charges.  I have already discussed having him replace some light fixtures in my house.  I highly recommend ALC Electric!

Edward was awesome! He was very helpful and answered all of my questions. Very communicative! He and his team installed five pot lights and a second switch in our hallway. They did a wonderful job and was incredibly efficient. We love our new lights!

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 had Highlights do work in two of my properties, and I give them the highest recommendation.  The quality of their work is outstanding.  I had recessed lighting installed in one property and a new circuit breaker panel in another.  Both jobs were sizable and the results were excellent.  If you're looking for an electrician you can count on and who measures up to the highest standard, use Highlights Chicago!

Steer Clear. This is not a legitimate electrical company. Gave me an estimate and did the electrical work for an EV charger in our condo building. Even though building management didn't request City of Chicago license initially, they checked for it later (it can be asked for at any time) and this company is not licensed in the City of Chicago and its illegal to do residential work without it. The job was done completely wrong and he almost blew the sump pump and electrical to entire building by connecting to a panel inexplicably and was told not to. Installed wiring that was bent and broken and taped together which could have caused shocks and burning. New contractor easily installed it - no bends or breaks. The wall outlet installed was open and exposed, and if water dripped to it could electrocute people. Sloppy, cut corners, dangerous, illegal and not up to code. Absolute garbage, rushed work. Refused to get City of Chicago license and come fix job. We will be pursuing our money back. This is an illegitimate electrical company. Avoid at all costs.

Addendum to review:

Right, I'm not an electrician , but here are couple facts that a real electrician should have known and done, that found out about your job.

You were told by the building engineer to use the 480/277 volt panel because 208/120 was already at the capacity.

You just plainly ignored that and proceeded with your version. Maybe you don't know the difference between two.

You ran 208/ 120 wires through 480/277 panel which was a huge code violation and a human life safety issue.

And that's not all:

Then you spliced those wires inside that panel multiple times -- code violation.

You then decided to use lightning contractor conduit to run the wires and overfill that conduit -- code violation.

You installed the breaker at the wrong panel (which was at capacity) so you overloaded that panel.

The wire was badly scraped

You removed pipe straps and made the electrical conduit loose -- code violation.

J boxes that you installed were unsecured and loose with knock outs missing -- code violation

I'm still waiting on the city of Chicago electrical registration paperwork  from you.

A qualified electrician would know right away that he is working with 480/277 volts and would have informed me that i needed a step down transformer in order for the EV charger to work!

On top things you have charged me over $2K for 2 J boxes and a roll of #6 wire, which costs $600 at the most. The piping was already 97% there , so what took you so long.

It took a qualified electrician a total of 8 hours to remove the faulty work and install everything from scratch including installing the transformer.

We'll happily accept a refund to settle this matter

A great experience!

Jose from Tweaks & Finishes was very quick to reply to communications and then to submit his bid.

He priced the job very competitively, scheduled it for later that day, arrived a few minutes early.

He unpacked and installed the fixture correctly, carefully, and even requested my confirmation of approval (placement, pendant light height, etc.) at each step.

He worked cleanly, fast, was 100% competent, and very friendly the whole time.

No surprises or disappointments.

Really an exceptional experience.

Highly recommend Jake and his team for electrical projects large and small. Early on during COVID he installed a new outlet so we could relocate a desk and while there provided some options for adding light to our dimly lit basement. We finally contacted him for the basement work and he responded right away and was able to come within a few days. The basement looks fantastic and Jake went out of his way making multiple trips to stores looking for hard to find parts. Fair prices and high quality work!

The condo that we were contracted to purchase had some electrical issues to sort out prior to closing, so I contacted Blacklite.  I sent Neville the inspection report and he gave me a ballpark estimate on the work to be done.  The previous owner paid for the work and, since we had yet to take ownership, I was not present during the work.  However, Neville kept me informed as to what was done, how it was done and when.  The work is warrantied as well.  Neville was great to deal with and Blacklite will be our go-to contractor should we need more electrical work done.

Kinetic to the rescue! Even in the middle of a pandemic,  I was able to get an apt to fix much needed lighting issues  in my house! I have used them once before and was so happy to have them back... even got to meet Ted! So friendly, knowledgeable and fast! I would highly highly recommend Kinetic for anything electrical that you need! Awesome people all the way around!!

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.

Issue with fixer is that schedulers and concierge have no idea how long tasks take. My fixer scheduled for 3:30 came at 7:00.  They cannot actually give you an accurate time.

Unfortunately the problem with smoke detector was not fixed. Simple issue of battery replacement was too high to reach. He left and one hour later beeping started again. Disappointing experience. So after $94, I have to hire an actual electrician.
