Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

If I could give more stars I would! Stefan and his staff were EXTREMELY helpful, kind, professional, and quick with the repairs that were needed in my building. I would highly recommend this company for any of your electrical needs!! They even missed Superbowl Sunday to help me out, now that's some great service!! ;) Thank you again AC/DC!

Recently bought a condo and needed electrical work done in multiple rooms. Reached out to Sims and Sons and immediately heard back from Darrell. He gave us a call right away and arranged for Enis to drop in to bid out the work. Just a few days later Enis was back and got everything done in a day! We needed switches relocated, additional outlets added, sconces removed and he got it all done with minimal cuts in the drywall.  He explained everything well and was extremely knowledgeable and friendly!

Im totally shocked by the professionalism of T&D. I was totally electrified when I called their number and a live person answered the phone, I was able to schedule an estimate for the next day, received a quote about 8 hours after, called the same phone number again and booked the installation to happen immediately. I got a charge out of the payment process, super easy and the quality of the work was really high. The electrician cleaned up after all the work, it was if a lightning bolt busted into the house and fixed all of our problems, leaving behind a faint scent of victory. Before calling T&D, I tried to reach several electricians who never returned my calls or were booked out for weeks, good for them but bad for me, it really took the wind out of my sails (if I only had an electrician to fix my motor).

Ted is seriously the best. He is super reliable, really professional and smart. I have had him do a few things in my home. Everything is done correctly, on time, and exactly how he said it would be. My husband who doesn't like hiring people to do work in the house thinks that Ted is worth every cent. I actually decided to write this review because I was looking for his number to do some additional work in our kitchen and came across his name on Yelp.

Joe arrived right on time.  He was prepared for the job and only had to go to his truck once for additional parts.  He was efficient, the job was done well and the price was reasonable.  I would highly recommend Joe for your electric needs.

So I just purchased a new home and having some circuit breaker issues. Found Chris on Yelp very nice guy. Very responsive. Came right out, Fix the issue under 15 minutes so I will definitely be calling him back out to finish the work, Definitely give Chris a call or give him a chance if you are having any type of issues with circuit breakers or electrical issues definitely recommend this business. Thanks, Chris

Totally recommend if you're in need of any electrical jobs. Edward was great about providing a fair and accurate estimate. Esteban was on time, very professional and did a great job in installing our new living room light fixture. Job required him to move and center a new box on our sloped/vaulted ceilings. Also appreciated the follow-up call to make sure we were satisfied. Couldn't be happier!!!

Me-can you come over and give me an estimate on a easy open ceiling basement to update some old lights with new up-to-date lights,I'm less than 4miles from you:   Ryan,sure but it's $200 for a diagnostic fee!  Omg!! This guys a jabroni,is that how you make money instead of actually doing the job

Mike did a great job wiring up our new Ring video doorbell.  Excellent job.

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.

Jose and Rodney were absolutely great to work with. Not only did they do an amazing job, but it was all for a great price. They were tasked with replacing our track lighting with recessed lights, as well as, patching any holes and repainting our entire ceiling. We are beyond satisfied with their work and would recommend them to anyone who needed any sort of electrical or painting work done.

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!

These guys are fantastic!  We had a relatively straightforward electrical project but I am both clumsy and less than handy, which seems to be the perfect formula for electrocution.  Luckily, Neville responded to my phone call looking for a quote within 15 minutes.  Sent a couple pictures of the light we needed installed and the location, and he gave me a quote and availability right away.  Easy, polite, wonderful.  

Neville stayed in touch throughout the day with text updates on when our electrician, Johnny, would arrive.  He was right on time, courteous, friendly, and a great technician.  He patiently dealt with my requests to see the light at various cord lengths, and finished the project in no more than ten minutes.  Apparently the bulb I purchased was not compatible with the dimmer switch for the light, and he quickly diagnosed and fixed the problem.

Johnny's a great guy and a great electrician, and Neville was responsive, polite, and professional throughout the whole process.  I would highly highly recommend these guys for any home project.  I will definitely hire them again.  

Thanks Johnny and Neville!!

I am going to make this as short as possible without skimping on the important details.

Purchased a home in Forest Park which required some outdoor electrical work to be completed to be in compliance with the Village Inspector's requirements. It is my understanding that this is very basic work and most older homes in the Village require this work upon sale.
Hired Kinetic based on recommendation from my agent and Yelp/Facebook/Nextdoor reviews. The prior owner received a quote of $1200 for the work from another company - I sent that estimate to Kinetic and asked if they could match it. They sent out someone to take a look and afterwards quoted me at $1400 via email. I agreed to the $1400 (also via email) as the company was so highly rated and I wanted it to be done correctly.
Sequence of events:
1. Work was performed - required the power to be out from 8am to around 5pm on a weekday.
2. Village inspector and Kinetic rep returned to do the post-work inspection. The work failed inspection. I'm not exactly sure how you fail inspection on a routine job.
3. They came back on a Saturday morning to correct the work. Re-inspection occurred 4 days later and it passed. I was told more than once that they would be reducing the bill due to my pain and suffering - having failed inspection and because we had to have our power out for another 3 hours to have the issue corrected. At this point I was still considering a 3/5 review as the rep was very apologetic about this whole mess and came out on a weekend as we are WFH during the week and need power.
4. Received the invoice totaling $1712 due after a $250 pain and suffering discount. Emailed them back as I'm not sure how $1400 became $1,962 when it was supposed to be less than the original estimate for my trouble. They said they had a conversation with my husband about additional charges? No way in hell that happened. Nonetheless, they said it happened when the in person estimate was made. However, we received the written estimate for $1400 after the in person estimate. Anything that was (or wasn't) discussed should have been reflected in the written estimate.
5. They agreed to $1400 to put this job behind us and we paid it so I could be done with the mess as well.
I have all of this in writing and I keep meticulous notes on anything that I pay for. I didn't even want to waste any more keystrokes on this, but since I hired them partially based on Yelp reviews, I felt that I needed to share my experience. I am giving them 2 stars only because everyone was pretty pleasant. Just wish it would have turned out better.

They also drilled a large screw through my newly-finished porch. No warning on that. Picture attached.

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!

Outstanding very communicative on time reliable all above in every category.  Always answers always explains what is needled and why

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.

I had a very poor experience with fixer. I needed some non gcfi outlets replaced with gcfi outlets. Fixer said they could do this job, but it was clear that was not the case. I had purchased outlets, which it turned out were too thick for the shallow outlets in my home. This was not the tech's fault at all, however instead of just telling me that he spent two hours attempting to get them to fit. He did install two, one of which does not work and the other one is gaping out from the wall. I had bought a multi pack of outlets which I now can't return because two are used. I now have to pay an electrician to fix the messed up outlets in addition to installing the others. Fixer did reduce my bill, but given I got nothing out of it and also can't return the box of outlets essentially it cost me a few hundred dollars for nothing.

Update:
An actual electrician confirmed one of the two outlets actually installed was done improperly causing the outlet not to work.
