Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

The correspondence between company and customer was excellent. However, the appointment was cancelled by the company 2 hours before service time. PTO was processed and taken for this particular service, making this disruption massive and unprofessional. Would not be able to be a judge of quality of service, but reliability is a major problem.

Mike and his crew ALWAYS do an outstanding job.  I would recommend them anytime.

I found Steve and Greg through a Moms of Western Springs FB group. We had a switch go out and there was an arc of electricity so I was concerned about fixing it as soon as possible. I called Monday night and they got out Tuesday morning and fixed the problem. Their response was remarkably fast and the quality of their work was exceptional. Thanks Steve and Greg!

Art was great to work with - even came back out the same day because I originally purchased the wrong ceiling fan!

Don and his team are AWESOME and I cannot recommend them enough to anyone looking for an electrician.  Honest, professional, and thorough.

Don came to my house the same day I called to give me an estimate on several jobs that I needed to sell my house, had the estimate prepared the next day, and actually came in under what he proposed when the job was completed.

His crew showed up early and Don did a next day follow up call.

I will definitely use Donatello again.

Jack and his crew have done a number of jobs at my house (added a mini-split line and took care of some home inspection issues).  Pricing is very competitive and the work has been excellent.  Highly recommend.

Robert was exceptionally awesome.
Called and got same day service.
Fast. Efficient. Cost effective. What more can you ask for on a hot day?

Jeff came out to give a quote for some electrical work in my two bathrooms.  It was pretty simple stuff: four can lights on dimmer switches, low voltage LED lights, and a bathroom exhaust fan.  I was totally unimpressed by Jeff's knowledge as I was having to tell him how to do things (you'll need to cut this 2x4 and put in a 4 slot electrical box, you'll need to run a whip here and run a box here....).  Basically I had zero confidence that Jeff knew what he was doing.  Jeff also said he would send me a quote and he never got back to me.

Pros
--Jeff was very friendly and flexible considering I showed up 15 minutes late to meet him for the quote

Cons
--I was not confident that Jeff knew what he was doing
--Where was the follow up??

They've done work at both my mother's house and mine. Their install of new and repair of old wiring is top-notch. The crew was friendly while remaining throughout all of the many visits they

I hired Dave to install an outlet for charging an electric vehicle. 1) he was super responsive. 2) showed up on time for an estimate 3) was priced better than 3 other shops i researched 4) he did a great job.

I will never hire anyone else for electrical projects. It is rare these days to find someone who is honest and transparent - will not rip off customers. Great experience. Strongly recommended

Matt is very professional and knows his stuff. The quoting process was extremely thorough and price was very fair. We had Matt do a fair amount of work to our home and the results were fantastic. If you are looking for a very good electrician that will get the job done in a timely fashion and the results are fantastic, give Goldstream a call. We look forward to using Goldstream for all our future electrical needs.

I was very pleased with
the guys from Electric Castle workmanship, courtesy and overall thoroughness. Great job, Mike and Bogdan had always been most helpful for me over the phone. Always been prompt and efficient. Thanks everyone!

Owner of the company is honest.  Did all work as expected.  His workers were puntual and professional.  Calls were returned, problems addressed quickly.  Solid contractor.

Great service from Edwin and his crew!  

We had a potentially large electric problem with some lines from our house to our garage.  They were old, frayed and hanging low.  It was easy to set up getting a quote from Edwin though the Yelp site.  He responded very quickly and arrived on time at the appointed time.  He diagnosed the problem and provided a quote via email.  I accepted his proposal and he let me know when he was available to come and do the work.

He arrived on time, on the scheduled day.  It was a big job which included taking down the old wiring and, digging a trench and sending all new wiring out to the detached garage.  Since the home and garage are both over 100 years old, diagnosing our wiring is like a million piece jigsaw puzzle. Edwin did a great job and everything works great!  He even did a great job to not disturb the landscaping.  You can't even tell that there was a trench dug.

Highly recommend!

Extremely prompt and troubleshot the problem and did everything they could to fix it on the first shot. Reasonable rates and far less expensive than other options.

We always use Handico when our home repair needs arise.  They're reliable -on time, honest -very up front and reasonable prices for their excellent quality of service.  Highly recommended!

Consistently great work all of the time.  I've used this team for two different projects and and they've done great work both times.  They were extremely professional and provided quality, affordable work. We were well informed of our options and both projects were completed on time.  I will definitely use them in the future.

This place was a dream to work with. They're fast, affordable and skillful.
I'd recommend them to friends and family but unfortunately I'm too afraid to
do business with them again.

They came out for an emergency repair after an electrical fire in my home.
The problem was resolved in a matter of a few hours and I paid the electrician
but the complications that had followed lasted for a few months.
Unfortunately, they did not include the price of a permit nor had they updated
their permits that allow them to do work in the town of Cicero when they had done their work.
Their permits had expired roughly two days before they took my service call
resulting in fines from the town of Cicero requiring them to update their permits.
I was even told by this company that they didn't bother to update their permits because they don't get much work in Cicero. I absolutely understand that and wholeheartedly agree but if that was the case, they should not have taken my service call. Regardless, if it was an emergency or not.

Subsequently, they in turn sent me a bill, with a very condescending letter,
stating I was to pay for THEIR business permits for the minor job they had
so graciously done for me.

It was a very insulting letter with an air of condescension but nonetheless
it was something that needed to be resolved and their receptionist was extremely
courteous in helping me resolve this issue.

I stood firm in my decision not to pay for their business permit. My name is not
on the front door, I do advertise to be an electrician myself, so therefore, it is not
my nor anyone's responsibility to pay for a business permit for a business I do not own. If your permits needed to be paid, you should have included that in your pricing regardless of how big or small the job.

They knew this. They stopped asking me to pay for their bills.

They also have a sister company called Diamond Home Services.
If you do work with A to Z Electric, your phone number will be placed on Diamond
Home Service's calling list.

I would absolutely do business with both of these companies again if it
weren't for their condescending letter and their audacity to try and stick me
with a bill to update their business permits. I'm just afraid that if I were to call
them up for business, I'd be given an unreasonable estimate or receive
unsatisfactory work.

Called for a big job, replacing kitchen and bathroom wiring. He was late to the quote and no-call, no-show for the actual work. I called him to ask how far away he was and he said he forgot about it and can he come the next day instead.

Came out the same day as contacted. Very courteous and friendly. The first tech didn't have equipment sufficient for the job. They were very quick to make a follow up appointment the next day to get the situation handled. Would recommend.
