Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

We bought a new dryer that was causing an electrical fuse to blow whenever we used it. I called PB Electrical Services and they came right away, diagnosed the issue as needing a new circuit breaker, and fixed it same day. Great service and I'll definitely use them for future electrical needs!

I was very impressed with the service provided by All Power Electric. Our power went out on a Sunday morning. I called All Power and the response time was very quick. I work with different trades on a daily basis so I can tell you that the service and troubleshooting charges are very reasonable. Tony found a couple of issues and explained what needed to be done, our options, how long it would take to fix and how much it would cost. Everything was finished within a few hours after the initial call. I would recommend All Power Electric to anyone who needs electrical work done.

I've not received any incentives to write this review.

Excel did amazing work. They were focused, efficient, flexible, neat, courteous and very affordable. Minor corrections/modifications were addressed immediately and to our complete satisfaction. I was most impressed by how Omar and his crew worked with us in the planning stages. They listened closely, offered solid advice and did quality work. We'll be calling them again as we do more.

Highly recommended from a fairly critical and cautious homeowner.

I needed a electrician to install power outlets for my newly plumbed laundry hookup in my loft.  I happened to stumble upon Montoya Electric Co. in Yelp.  Uriel and his father showed up on time as scheduled and did amazing work. Conduit runs were neat and straight and they didn't butcher my walls with unnecessary holes.  They also cleaned up after they were finished.  I will definitely use Montoya Electric Co. in the future and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for great electricians.

True Power Electric was referred to me by a well known and established window and shade company in Chicago.  The work I had performed included electrical rewiring, addition/relocation of outlets, installation of track and other lights with dimmers.  True Power Electric is knowledgeable, has great technical workmanship and excellent customer service (and, is neat).  Would recommend and use again.

The epitome of customer service.  Frank Perlongo is good, no great, and performs work as though it was being performed on his own home.

The communication before the service call was excellent. I was unable to be there when the work was done. There were some issues that I believe I should have been informed about, but wasn't. The workmen were on time and neat. I would definitely use this company again, but wouldn't rely on someone else to be there when work is being done.

I had them remove the old water heater, AC unit and furnace and move some piping around and they did a terrific job! They maximized the spaced in my basement and the unit is running great and haven't had a problem. Been over 8 months now and not a single issue. Units run great and their customer service is top notch! All their employees were professional and would recommend them to any of my friends and family! Great guys! A+ Reliable, honest and trustworthy.

This is the MOST REASONABLE CONTRACTOR I have ever worked with. The Father and Son Combination was excellent and their interaction during the work period made me feel that they were doing the job as though they are building their family home. They took the time to explain their work to me and rhey answered my questions truthfully.

My new home was in need of a ton of new lighting and electrical work. When Jonathan came out to give his estimate, I knew he was the right guy for the job for many reasons. He was communicative, thorough, and very knowledgeable. I had a pretty clear vision for what I wanted, so he listened and made sure he understood every detail to get the project done right. There were also a few areas where I was uncertain and he provided me with some really awesome options that ended turning out even better than I could have imagined. Jonathan is a real pro and he will definitely be my go-to for any electrical needs.

Our Generac whole house generator failed to come on during a multi-hour power outage on a Sunday morning. The Generac support line recommended AL Electric as the closest dealer. Andrey picked up the phone after two rings, came out within an hour, and had our generator running within 2 minutes. (The generator had an error code that required dealer service.) His charge for an emergency visit on a Sunday morning was very reasonable and he will be coming back later in the week to do full maintenance on the unit. As the Generac support person said, you need to have a dealer do maintenance on it yearly so AL Electric will be our regular service. Andrey is also very friendly and knowledgeable.

I highly recommend ABS Electric. They did a fantastic job during a home remodel. Installed a new electric panel, canned lighting, recessed led lighting, new wiring and more. They exceeded my expectations, kept all their timing commitments and truly stand behind their work!!!

We hired InTown Electric to do the electrical work for our townhouse rehab project eight years ago and were pleased with their performance and honesty. Then we recently got the itch to buy a stand-alone house and we hired InTown again. Same results: Dependable, professional, knowledgeable and honest. Workmanship is above par. The project, involved adding numerous outlets, switches, dimmers (and replacement of all the existing ones with new ones), can lights, power feeds for track lighting, and a whole house surge protector. The work was completed two weeks ago.

Tom, the owner, is a straight shooter who knows his business and can offer you solid advice and his pricing is in line with other electrical contractors in the area. His bid identified all the aspects of the work and if there was any question, he clarified it clearly.

Would I hire InTown Electric again? Absolutely.

Very unprofessional and questionable business practices.  Overpriced cash grab for 2 minutes of work and less than 10 minutes total between pulling into my driveway and leaving, taking advantage of someone selling a home.

PES was asked to come essentially remove one screw and charged $175.  Robert left our home without providing a receipt and then five days later, reached back out saying he realized that more work was needed which would be an additional $775.  This was a simple job within a town he is supposedly familiar with that he was happy to do, collect payment on, and leave.  Either he was incompetent enough to not realize what needed to be done when he was standing in front of a sub panel or he was looking to further try and take advantage of us.  Regardless of which is accurate, I would never have them back in my home working on anything.

Unfortunately, their lack of professionalism does not end there but instead extends to a receipt ultimately being produced that states something to the effect of my work doesn't satisfy the inspection report.  This man was never  shown an inspection report or any other documentation for that matter.  He also proceeded to reply to another negative review posted by my wife in which he fabricated a quote to paint her in a negative light.

I have absolutely no respect for anyone who runs a business this way and even if I could give a zero star review, it would be too generous.

Sal did a great job in installing my chandelier.  He is very resourceful, as he figured out how to affix everything to the ceiling even though I was missing a hook.  Some of my light bulbs blew out when we turned on the chandelier, and Sal was thorough in checking if the wiring inside the light bulb screws on the light fixture was causing the problem.  He is definitely very knowledgeable and knows what he's doing.

Steve came to our condominium to install an outlet in the laundry room and a pair of ceiling fixtures in the dining room. Steve worked diligently first installing the outlet. Steve ran wire through a narrow wall placing the outlet in a better place than I imagined was possible. Then working overhead he drilled into our hard concrete ceiling. He measured and exactly placed two pendent lights.  This install was done correctly and no touch up painting was required. Thank you to everyone at Corrigan & Freres. We appreciate Steve's attention to detail.

I requested a quote to replace the k&t on the second floor of my house.  He messaged me asking where I was located, and I told him.  He then proceeded to tell me that he Googled my house, and it would cost $15k to rewire my house and replace the panel.  I told him that it was obvious that he didn't read my request because I only requested the 2nd floor to be done, and didn't need a new panel.  The then said that it would be about $7-8K to do the 2nd floor.

I was extremely disappointed because he didn't even bother to come out to my house to give me an estimate, which he could have easily done, because my house is ONE BLOCK from his business address according to his Yelp profile.

I would never trust anyone who couldn't even be bothered to go out to a site to give an estimate, especially one he could walk to.

He might do good work, but his estimate was overpriced from other people I've talked to by at least $2k

I love Don. He will give you an honest price and do an honest job. In my book, it doesn't get better than that.

We had a bathroom fan and a ceiling fan that needed to be installed. Al and Andy came in and split up the jobs to get them done faster. Great work and great communication!
