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.

Mike Verdone with Advance Electric did a excellent service upgrade to my home, as well as beautiful interior lighting upgrades. He even went as far as labeling the whole electrical panel, so I knew exactly what each fuse was powering. Efficient, Honest, and Professional. Will definitely be contacting him again next time I need any work done.

Hired Victor to install a light fixture. He responded quickly, and was able to schedule me within 48 hours. He was on time and prepared. Had me taken care of in no time, at a fair price. Would definitely hire again.

Peter did an outstanding job re-wiring our Hyde Park apartment.  He is especially good on older properties where there are messes to be cleaned up.  Many electricians do not have the expertise to do that kind of work.   He's also tidy and a nice guy besides.

I can't say enough about Frank and AArdvark. I like to try things on my own and figured I could probably change a ceiling lamp. When I took down the old one and saw the crazy wiring in the box, I called Frank. Frank was able to talk me through the installation with nothing more than me sending him a description and a few pictures. Trustworthy and friendly service. I highly recommend AArdvark.

We had this company install a Tesla charger in our garage.  Multiple Day Project - Panel had to be upgraded and the power had to be run out to the garage.

Experience from the initial quote to the final inspection was top notch. I worked mainly with Don and Eric. Both very professional, friendly, and easy to work with. It's clear everyone I communicated with knew what they were doing. Further, everyone was on time each and every day and they left the site perfectly clean. I can't say enough good things about this company and the people I worked with. I'm very impressed and would recommend them to friends or family in a heartbeat. Thank you all again

Skyline is our go-to electrical work company. Last Summer they helped us with a big rewiring project, adding electric for a sump pump and washer/dryer and replaced all the light fixtures. They were so thoughtful, they even installed childproof outlets since we have little ones - I didn't even know that was possible! Pricing was excellent, came in right on estimate - I loved that. Quality work that makes our home feel safe again! They were in our house for over a week and you couldn't find a more cheerful crew with communication and integrity. Would absolutely recommend!

These guys went above and beyond. I bought a new unit in my building and there were a few items I'd planned (fixture changes, sconces, outlet tests) and a few I didn't (2 broken breakers, and a few other complications). Jose was professional, polite, and very helpful. I knew just enough electrical to get part way on some of the projects then got stuck. He made above and beyond trips for parts on short notice and was very easy to work with, both him and his assistance for the heavy lifting. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again, and in case you need them to be insured for your homeowners association, they quickly provided this as well.

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!

We had Lucasz out to our house to rewire & install two ceiling lighting fixtures to our second floor bedrooms.  We couldn't be happier with the work.  The quote he gave us was very reasonable, he arrived on time and finished both fixtures within a 3 hour window, and the end result was very professional looking and clean.  I highly recommend him to anyone looking for electrical work.  We will definitely use him in the future!

I had an interesting project that I needed an electrician's expertise on.  I'm making my garage into a home gym and since it's detached, I would need more heating for the winter.  I wanted to place additional electric space heaters out there - but I didn't have sufficient wiring out there to support it.  Vilano Electric was able to walk me through all of my options and troubleshoot what he would be able to accomplish with me.  He adequately explained everything he was going to do and ensured I understood the work prior to starting.  He gave me an accurate estimate that I thought was fair and he was then able to finish the job in one day. He was also highly cautious about always wearing a mask.  I would highly recommend this company...and as a new homeowner, I will be going back to them with future projects.

Todd came out and was great.  First, he answered the phone.  A seemingly small task; however, plenty of other electricians in the city failed to return my calls, answer my calls, or respond to my e-mails.  Second, Todd was able to schedule an appointment quickly so my electric issues didn't continue.  And lastly, he did a great job, was super knowledgeable, fixed a light in about 2 seconds, and then fixed a light switch and installed a fan.  The best part was he identified that the bracket for the previous fan was not safe and he was able to install a new bracket, which required some non-electrician work, but he was easily up to the task.  Thanks Todd!

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.

Completed several projects including resolving problems with 4-way switch that another contractor was unable to resolve.

I chose Alternating Currents Corporation based on a referral from my neighbor. I used Alternating Currents Corp to update my electrical service to 200 Amps and to hang and wire a fan box. Marty came to quote the job in person. The process was quick, thorough and accurate.  They were very good about not damaging any drywall when hanging the fan.  Any damage when the service panned was installed was minimal and it only took 2 days total to complete the process. All of the invoices were emailed and the office staff was available and replied to questions very quickly.  I will recommend being home before the project is finished to make sure you get the signed off inspections and a rundown how everything works.  I also had the option of getting my own permits from the city and would think about letting them take care of the permitting so you don't have to be the go-between with them and the city, but if you're up for doing the pickup and scheduling it's an easy way to save a few bucks.  I requested some outlets be reused and the old panels be left and they were. They also had to return some of my original GFCI breakers, so I would also recommend going over what is left and what is tossed before hand. I would use Alternating Currents Corporation again if I need future electrical work.
