Stefan had the fastest response time and was available the next day. He fixed a ceiling fan, installed a new track light, and replaced to gfci outlets. He did in just 75 mins. He was a really nice guy and offered to throw the old fixture out for me.

Darrell was so professional from the moment I reached out. I contacted him to request a chandelier installation and he got back to me right away during a weekend. He scheduled me right away, arrived earlier than our appointment and took less than an hour To install. He was very professional and so nice! I look forward to using him again for future projects.

I recently had T&D Electrical come to my home to replace certain switches to dimmers and to repair my outdoor light.  The work that was performed by Rodrigo and Ryan was well-explained and efficient.  They were respectful of how turning off the power in my home would impact my ability to work at home.  They were also very respectful of my home and neighbors.  I highly recommend T&D Electrical for any work you need to have performed.

Came to my residence; diagnose the issue and stated that he will give me an estimate via email. Never heard from him again. Very unprofessional .

Great service and work. I highly recommend. Installed power to front of house and a chandelier.

Christian was responsive and professional. He fixed the issue quickly and within 24 hours of requesting the quote on Yelp.

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!

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

Tenants, newly arrived cross-country, needed that hateful detector chirp stopped so they could sleep. Highlights Chicago were quick to answer the phone, reach an electrician, arrange an almost immediate service after hours, and completed the job quickly and efficiently. Service rate was very fair for this after hours service. Great team going into my contacts for future needs.

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

Overall great experience with Jose the owner.  I am an active duty Solider currently not in the Chicagoland area and Jose was able to assist with a dry wall repair in my ceiling.  He updated me through the process was ok with communication via text and phone.  This process was super easy especially considering I was not present on site.  I highly recommend them.

Jake and Lenox were a great team- they were efficient and were able to locate the source of our electrical problem. They replaced 2 GFI's and have literally brought light back into our lives! We'll definitely be using them again.

I ended up reaching out to Neville and Blacklite again and had a much, much better interaction.  He responded promptly, suggested a few things for me to check first, and then scheduled the appointment.  One of his electricians, Johnny, came out and took care of the requested job, plus some additional stuff while he was here, and gave a couple estimates for future jobs, too.  He was running a little behind, which happens, but Neville reached out early to give me a heads up.

I'd assume my first time around was just a fluke, but I will definitely be using Blacklite in the future.

We hired Kinetic Energy in January, 2016 to install a new light fixture in the ceiling of the entry foyer of our house, and to deal with the old knob and tube wiring that was connected to the old light fixture. That kind of wiring was commonly installed in old houses like ours (about 110 year old). It is insulated with rubberized cloth. As a result, the crew had to replace it not only where it connected to the ceiing light fixture, but also to other outlets that connected to the same breaker (including the ceiling light over the front porch).

Kinetic's owner, Ted, is friendly, candid and experienced with working in old homes.  He got the permit and arranged for the two later inspections (rough and final). The Oak Park electrical inspector promptly approved the work when it was done,

    His friendly crew members generally arrived on time, and worked steadily. Because they had to cut holes in the foyer ceiling made of drywall, the work generated dust. As a result, the crew each day covered the  floor with a tarp and put up plastic sheeting over the entry to the living room from the foyer. They cleaned up well at the end of each workday, which we greatly appreciated. The crew also liked Ted. He had recently bought for them sturdy red jackets which had battery operated warmers - especially nice for any outdoor work they did in the winter.

Tom installed a Tesla rapid charger in our garage yesterday. He did this with professionalism and expertise. I will hire him again for future electrical needs.

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.

Our Fixer technician was wonderful. Anya was on time, very professional and knowledgeable. He kept us informed throughout all the projects, kept track of the time, and checked with us when he knew it would go over the original estimate by 15 minutes. we have never worked with such a great handyman  and loved the limited and timely messages from the company before and after the job was done. Highly recommended!!
