We called Howard this afternoon (the day before Thanksgiving) when we lost power in 1/3rd of our house.  Howard discovered that our basement renovation resulted in multiple junction boxes being dry-walled over (a big no-no).  After explaining the problem, he took the time to tediously saw holes and follow the BX cable from the fuse box through the ceiling to find the proper junction box.

All in all, it took 3 hours, but Howard found the problem (a bad connection at the junction box) and fixed it.

Sure, we'll have to fix the drywall, but it couldn't have been fixed otherwise. Furthermore, it will allow us to put in the proper access doors at the junction box locations to prevent it from happening again.

With 18 people coming over for Thanksgiving in 16 hours, it would be no understatement to say that Howard saved our Holiday (and at a reasonable price).

We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Howard to anyone needing work done.

I had North Shore Electric replace 5 outside lights, repair a wall light and install a Cable TV cable outlet in the wall of my 100 year old house and they did an outstanding job.  

Michael came on time and provided professional and knowledgeable service.  He saved me time and money with good recommendations and he completed all the work and cleaned all work areas in just 2 hours.

I wholeheartedly recommend North Shore Electric.

We hired Goran to correct some code violations in my mom's older home, replacing outlets with 3-prong and GFCI and adding some additional outlets in the garage. The same day I called he came and did a free estimate. His work was quick and efficient and he did not charge more than his original estimate even though I had under counted the number of outlets that needed replacing. He is easy to work with and we thought his work was excellent. We are going to need more work done and will definitely be calling him. You will not go wrong by hiring Goran.
(Note: He is listed on DexKnows as Kutlich Electrical Services if you want to read more reviews)

We've hired Small Tyme on four different occasions for jobs big and small, including a whole-house rewiring.  We'll continue to work with Norh, and we continue to recommend him to friends.  He has very reasonable rates, and he is prompt, responsive, and very easy to work with.

I had a relatively small job installing a 220 line at my place of business. Frank knew exactly what the various options were and spent a generous amount of time going over them with me, ever mindful of my budgeting.

I'm glad to have found a local independent contractor for future electrical services.

Great response time and great price.  My issue was fixed and they were in and out in 2 hours.  Eric was professional and explained everything he was doing.  I was actually scheduled for March 9th and Scott called two weeks early and said he had an opening and was out within the hour.

We have a new go-to electrician. Mike is extremely responsive and detailed in his communications. He agreed to help install a new light switch for my elderly aunts. (It turns out, they are neighbors!) Unbeknownst to me, a caregiver fixed the light before Mike even got there for the appointment. Instead of being annoyed, he double-checked the work and made a change to make sure it was safe. He did not take any money from my aunts, and instead gave them a card and reassured them if they had questions or problems, they could call him. Kind, honest, conscientious and detail-oriented. Thank you, Mike!!

Hired Marcin to install an ev charger. I received a fair quote for the work, more reasonable than others. He did a great job on the installation.

He did another small job for us as well. Helpful and easy to work with.

We have used Penco to service our standby generator for a few years and their attention to detail and thoroughness has been the best!  But this weekend performance tops it all.  We lost power and right away the generator kicked in.  We called ComEd thinking it was a power outage.  Long story short:  no power outage and the generator was not malfunctioning.  We were instructed by mpower to get an electrician.  I was amazed that in two hours of calling Penco, they were here on a 92 degree day checking everything out.  It turned out to not be an electric issue but rather our air conditioner died.  Thank you Penco for your outstanding customer service!

I recently purchased a condo that needed a paint job and I wanted to have it done before I moved furniture in.  Good Guys were very responsive and explained how they work to me over the phone and scheduled a date for the work the next day-- just before the holidays.  Great!  Chris and his brother were very nice and explained what they were doing each step of the way.  However, they were an hour to an hour and a half late for each day.   It wasn't that big of a deal as I was off work but, better communication would have been appreciated.  They seemed to have emergencies each day.  Also, the paint job (1000 sq ft condo) took double the time I was expecting for a paint job and they charge by the hour.  Lastly, their painting technique involved painting over the base boards.  Because of the 3 day duration, I could not afford to pay by the hour for an additional day so, I will have to finish the paint job myself--which is fine but, from others I have spoken with they should never have painted over the base boards.  I had another furniture assembly job and that was ok.  I would have appreciated a more accurate estimate of time before we confirmed the job.

Highly recommend this company. I had a faulty circuit breaker leave us without power to our coffee bar and bathroom. They were out early the next morning to fix it and also switched out a faulty GFI outlet. They knew what they were doing, were prompt and professional. I'm so glad my home warranty referred me to them. Will definitely call out again for any electrical problems I need fixed.

We made an appointment for an estimate and nobody showed up. I called and only received voicemail and nobody returned my calls. Based upon other more positive reviews, I was disappointed in the unprofessional treatment.

Eddie Morales  the Supervising Electrician was very professional. He was polite . Mr Mighty Electric upgraded my brakes box put in some new lines and added a ground line for the whole building. They' did excellent work . They cleaned up and came well equipped.  They ordered a permit and make sure the City of Chicago Inspector came out to inspect their work and sign off for work well done.

On top of all this excellent work their prices were very reasonable.

I will continue to do repeat business with Mr Mighty Electric

Sincerely Veronica F

Immediate, no-nonsense service. I didn't even leave a message--Ken called me back just because his phone showed that someone had called. An hour later, he was at my house diagnosing my problem. Will definitely use again.

I couldn't be happier with the service provided by this company. Tom was incredibly responsive and had his team on the job the same day I contacted them...a real blessing after all the problems I have had with my contractor. They did an exceptional job and were a joy to have in my home...even my cat loved them! They were professional, conscientious, knowledgeable, and highly skilled. I will definitely have them back and I would recommend them to anyone.
