Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

I guess I don't understand all the glowing reviews. I contacted them to check the lack of power to my dining room. I was told they would see me the next day at 9 am. Not only did they not show up, but after I called two hours later to inquire about whether they were coming or not, I didn't as much  receive a return call. This is beyond unprofessional. If they weren't interested in my business, they simply needed to say so. Instead, they wasted my time, when I could have had professionals, who take their business seriously, handle my issue.

I hired Advance Electric to run underground electric out to the detached garage in the new house we just bought.  The previous owner built a new garage but they never installed electric.  They did a great job. Permit, trench, ran the conduit, installed interior lights, workshop light and various outlets for the garage door opener, tools, etc.  The work was inspected by the city and was immediately approved.  They were prompt, professional and easy to communicate with.  Highly recommended.

I am very pleased with Victor's services. He is very knowledgeable, helpful and professional. I would highly recommend his services and will definitely be using him on all future electrical matters.

I recently asked Peter McCarthy for information about installing vent fans
in our bathrooms.  We talked (over email) about what is involved in doing
this project and Peter explained all of the various things that we and any
electrician we hired would have to take into consideration before and
during such a job.  I was once again very impressed with the thoroughness of his explanations and thoughtfulness of his responses and was reminded that he is a top-notch electrician and a real pleasure to work with, too.

We hired Peter a few years ago for a kitchen remodeling job.  He worked
with us to plan all electrical aspects of our kitchen remodeling and then
he and his colleague did all of the electrical work. His work was
excellent.  Peter is completely knowledgeable about his work, is prompt,
courteous, and professional. He is also very thorough, careful, and
organized. If he is unclear on anything, he asks. He is extremely diligent
in answering any and all of your questions, too (either by phone or
email). He is very good at staying in touch not only about how the
electrical work is going, but also checking in about other aspects of the
overall project as well, so he makes sure to dovetail with other trades on
the job, if any, and makes the overall project go very smoothly.  I would
definitely hire him again for any electrical job, large or small, and plan
on doing so if/when we move forward with our bathroom vent project and
other electrical work we are planning.  I can recommend him
enthusiastically without reservation.

Frank and Chris were professional. Showed up on time. Got four jobs done in out house in less than 1 hour. Excellent work.

I recently bought a new building and during the home inspection I was told it would be a good idea to get the house rewired due to the fact that it had cloth wiring. I found Current Electrical and made an appointment to have the house inspected. I mostly dealt with Don and with their electrician journeyman Ovi. Very professional and knowledgeable was Ovi. I highly recommend Current Electrical. They rewired just about the whole house, installed ceiling fans, installed light switches and wall outlets.

I contacted SkyLine Electric on behalf of my condo association a couple of times earlier this year. I've worked with quite a few contractors over the years and can honestly say that I've never had such a positive experience before. Everyone that I spoke with and/or met from the Skyline team was extremely professional and responsive. They're straight shooters and demonstrate the highest integrity in their work. I appreciate working with a team that's truly vested in delivering top notch service to their customers.

Great service. Responsive, quick service when others were not available or responsive. Would recommend to others

We needed our old smoke detector fixed. Volodymyr was quick, straightforward, and professional. He also replied to messages within a reasonable time frame. Highly recommend!

Thank you to Lukasz and Maggie for your quick response to the problem we were having with non-working outlets in our master bedroom. Lukasz squeezed us into his day, assessed the problem quickly, and had it fixed in no time. And for a very fair price. It was very kind of you to come right out knowing that a family member is ill and housebound in that room. We will be calling to have other projects done in the near future, and recommend that others call this company if electrical work is needed.

Gino helped me get my apartment up to code with some bad electrical outlets. He was very prompt, friendly and efficient. I know it's difficult work trying to upgrade old wiring and construction. He was very resourceful in getting that task done for me.

Todd is intelligent, professional, and extremely competent in his work and advice.  More than that, he's a very pleasant person too.  Overall, very impressed!  

Scope of work:  Rewiring a three way switch, added a few dimmers, and installed three monorail type lights

Well, I read all these great reviews but unfortunately, I had a very different experience with Mo's work. He was hired to switch out an over the sink bathroom light. The job took less than 20 minutes and he charged $230.00, I felt it was a lot high for 20 mins of work, but I agreed. Anyway, he didn't center the light over the sink, and I was very unhappy with the result and let him know it. He got very defensive telling me that it was impossible to center the light over the sink, without moving the electrical box housing the wires, this would entail him putting a hole in the wall, patching the wall and that would cost an additional $180.00 to do and he didn't have the time that day and would have to come back when he was in the area. That brings the cost now to install to $410.00! I was so upset that after he left, with my mother's help, I removed the light from the wall and located the electrical box behind the fixture. I found that all I had to do was remove the 3 anchoring screws on the holding plate, move the holding plate over an inch to be centered over the sink, reinstall the screws in new hole, then rehang the light, to center over the sink.
The next day, though he told me that he rarely comes to my area, he wanted to come by and center the light, and make that easy $180.00. I told him I no thanks and goodbye.  I don't like feeling that I was taken advantage of, but I was.

I would not trust or recommend any other company than RED Electric. I was so lucky they were referred to me. Ed and his team are truly fantastic, professional and provided super high quality work. I had my entire house (1939 Georgian) rewired and upgraded to a 200 amp panel, plus they removed a ton of old low-voltage wires. It was about 3 weeks worth of work total and lots of holes in the walls but totally worth it  to have a safe, newly wired home. Emilio was the main technician at my house. He was so nice and friendly and professional. Not only did he do great work, he helped me practice my spanish and my skills improved dramatically while he was here. Even the inspector who came over knew of Ed and his team and said he has one of the best electric companies out there and is highly respected.  So do yourself a favor, just go with Ed and his team, don't bother with anyone else.

These guys are amazing!  We moved into 99-year old house and had no idea what the wiring was like.  I removed a fixture to put in a new ceiling fan and had no idea what I was looking at, but I did know that it crumbled in my fingers.  It turned out to be cloth wiring so we called these guys and could not be happier with the work they did.  They were beyond respectful of our space, were creative with their solutions for replacing the wiring to minimize cutting into walls, were on time and dependable every day, were friendly, and were extremely competent.   It's a family-run business and it really felt like it was their home they were working on when they were here.  I highly recommend them to anyone needing anything electrical done in your home.

Had an emergency situation and within a hour Martin was out at the property and we had power again.  He was so kind to not charge a emergency fee on a Friday night after hours!
