Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

Very responsive and nice! Installed my ceiling fan no problem where I previously had just a regular overhead light.

Darryl was very helpful and accommodating. He answered all my questions and followed up afterwards. I highly recommend them and would use them again.

We requested several quotes for an electrical job at our home- new electrical box installation in a 16' tall ceiling along with a large chandelier-type light.

The quote wasn't the lowest we received, but the company just seemed to understand or communicate better than the other companies.

Rodrigo promptly rang our doorbell at 7am, and assessed our situation. He constructed a scaffold in our stairway for this project.

He treated our house like his own house, and was continually cleaning/vacuuming debris.

For one of our light switches he recommended a wireless switch due to difficulty of box installation, and we love it.

We highly recommend this electrical company and will bring them additional work when we have new electrical jobs. Rodrigo is a superstar electrician and customer service representative. Awesome company, impeccable work!

Ted did such a great job installing two outdoor electrical outlets for us. He is professional, responsive, and worked quickly to get us a great result - all for an excellent price. We will definitely go back to Ted if we need electrical work.

Joe is still the absolute best electrician around! If you have an older home (ours are over 100+) and have knob and wire he will know how to take care of  it.  He's installed numerous ceiling fans, ran an outlet to directly behind our mounted tv to hid the cords and most recently added an additional breaker.  His pricing can't be beat and he's fast, trustworthy and all around good guy.  

In the future I plan on hiring him again to instal an electric power supply for our smart car - something he's getting more and more jobs doing as of late.

Don't hesitate to hire him!

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

Received great and prompt service from Edward and Julio to install a nest doorbell that needed extra work than the simple install on the packaging. Julio was very respectful of the end cosmetics and worked with us on very professionally the project. Bonus points for mask wearing!

Ryan was great to work with. He was on time and very transparent on what he was doing and what the cost would be. Furthermore he had me inspect the work afterwards to make sure I was satisfied. I will definitely be working with Ryan again in the future.

Working with highlights was an absolute pleasure. They made the entire process very simple. Niki was wonderful and responsive in explaining to me the necessary work and getting me scheduled.

Once my electrician, Juve, came out, it was a very smooth process. He went above and beyond to explain the work he was doing, and was very considerate of where I wanted my light fixture to go. He was extremely knowledgeable and offered advice on other elements of my home regarding what options I had for different recessed lighting. He demonstrated the highest level of professionalism and respect.

While estimated higher, the invoice actually ended up being lower than the estimate, which was such a pleasant surprise! Cannot recommend these guys enough!

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 amazing! I had them paint all the common areas in my new condo and it looks fantastic! They were both very nice and incredibly professional, getting to work right away. They'd given me an initial estimate that was a very fair price and that was exactly what I paid on the day. Really zero complaints and I will definitely be contacting them if I need anything in the future.

We have used Jake over the years for all of our electrical needs. He is absolutely amazing and always works incredibly hard and fast. If you are looking for surround sound, new canned lighting, rewiring or all of the above, he is 100% the man for the job!

Trademen drive me crazy! They get paid as much as a doctor or lawyer yet they: leave you waiting for days, cancel at the last minute, jack up the cost over the estimate, and leave a mess behind for you to clean up.

BUT NOT BLACKLITE! I called Neville (notice we all call him by his first name - I also am on a first name basis with the two excellent electricians who helped, Alex and Johnny) and he promptly got back to me, scheduled a time, provided an estimate, showed up on time, provided excellent advice, did excellent work, and charged me exactly what he quoted even though it took more time than expected.

His quote was $400 less than the other electrician that cancelled on me after I had taken the day off work to meet them.

Great work, and great guys. Stop looking around for an electrician. There is none better than Blacklite.

Called to have some GFCI outlets and a faulty light switch replaced.  All were fixed in no time, they even identified another outlet that needed to be upgraded to a GFCI per code which was appreciated.  The electrician was very polite and explained the work being done.  Also had them evaluate the safety of my microwave circuit, checked the wiring and connections and breaker.  Appreciate the safety precautions taken as electrician wore shoe coverings and a mask while in my home.  Would use them again for sure, great local business.

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!

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!

Alex responded to my posting quickly, was clear on costs, and came out at 8am the following day as promised. I gave wrong information on parts and he was ready with solutions to salvage the job and gave great advice. Would definitely hire again.

Generally, they are overpriced. But the biggest problem is their expanding into new markets when they are completely understaffed. I'm in the Seattle market and scheduled a follow up appointment to an original appointment 2 months ago. I get confirmed for the appointment and wait three weeks. The fixer arrives and tells me he doesn't have the time to complete the job today. They try to reschedule me and tell me the earliest is two weeks out. Why did they incorrectly estimate the time it would take to do the job and only find out the day of the appointment? Why did they not reschedule me right away when I booked three weeks ago? Why do they not try to rebook me ASAP as I'm waiting on them to complete a job I originally scheduled almost 2 months ago? Taking my business elsewhere.
