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!

Twice now I've relied upon All Power Electric to help me in a pinch.

First, I had an outlet that started to smoke. I thought I could take care of it myself but just managed to make it worse. Tony Juarez showed up to fix my mess in a couple short hours.

Then I decided to install a ring floodlight. This time I called Tony first and he got it done in 30 min. He also gave me some good advice to make sure I kept the integrity of the product in place.

Would definitely recommend this company.

Prompt, professional and courteous! Both guys wore booties and face masks. Replaced (3) kitchen ceiling light fixtures, (2) flush mount and (1) hanging fixture. Completed the work in 1 hour. Very fair pricing! Would definitely use Excel for future electrical services. Thank you!

Exceptional family-owned business.  Uriel and his father do a great job.  Professional and efficient.  We needed our wiring evaluated in a section of our industrial facility. What we thought would be a complicated job was evaluated, repaired, and replacement parts installed in under an hour.  Reasonable rates too.  Highly recommend.  Montoya is now our go-to electrician service.

I received True Power Electric as a referral through Service Master.  I was looking for an electrician to put in some recessed lighting and change out some existing fixtures.  Dion Jones called me first thing the next morning and said he could come take a look at 5pm that evening.  After seeing my situation, we scheduled the following Sat to come out and do the work.  I was unsure about my the fixtures I had purchased and exactly what I should do.  He gave me very confident answers on what to do and when he saw my very dim lighting in my bedroom, suggested a couple of cans in there too.  He has a great eye and knows what will work.  Turns out that the wiring in bedroom was constructed very poorly and he was having trouble finding the connections.  I told him we could hold off and I could get the blueprints for him.  When I came back to the room to check on things, he said he finally found the connections and was moving forward.  This took much more time than expected, but the final result was incredible!  I could not be more happy with how smoothly the day went.  His estimate was very reasonable and he did the work in one day.  I had a quote from someone else for more money and multiple days to do the job...In short, Dion is electric rock star!! Look no further!

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

John did great work!  I called John because I was concerned the current ceiling outlet box would not support my new ceiling fan. He not only reinforced the outlet box but also installed the new fan and the medallion I purchased for the ceiling at a very affordable price and with minimal mess. He was respectful and knowledgable.  He also gave me advice on how we could repair things ourselves.  As an Army wife whose husband is currently deployed, it was a pleasurable surprise to find that John is also a Veteran.  I will be calling John again the next time I have electrical questions and work that needs to be done, and recommend him to anyone who is in need of an electrician.

ServiceMax, nee Malek Heating and Cooling, is very responsive. My tenant texted me at 6:30 Wednesday evening telling me his furnace stopped working. I called ServiceMax after hours and ServiceMax was fixing the unit the next morning at 8am!

Vlad gave me a reasonable quote for changing out a 220v electric service to a 110v service and installing a 20amp outlet on a dedicated line to service a gas cooktop.  He was able to perform the work the following day.  He arrived exactly on schedule and was neat and efficient in performing the work.  I would definitely call on Vlad for any electrical work I need done in the future.

I absolutely love Johny! I recently purchased my first home and I reached out to this company after another company was 5 hours late to my consultation. Volts & Watts is now my one and only option. Not only was I given a same day consultation (and on time) Johny was able to install the vision I was looking for in little to no time at a better rate than what I was originally going to pay. My lights are perfect and give my home such a beautiful modern new look.

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 work for a lighting store and we've recommended ABS electric numerous times. We always hear the best complements about them plus they're very knowledgeable. There are few companies we trust when dealing with certain projects and I never hesitate to let clients know about them.

If you're looking for a reliable, professional and skilled electrician in the Chicagoland area, I highly recommend InTown Electric. Tom and Nick have been exceptional in all of the work they have done for me over the past 5+ years. They've done everything from hanging ceiling fans, installing can lighting and even rewiring an entertainment closet, and I couldn't be happier. I continue to recommend InTown Electric to all of my friends and family because I'm confident that Tom and Nick are the best choice in the area.

So if you're looking for an electrician in the Chicago area, give these guys a call. They are honest, fair, and extremely skilled in what they do. I will definitely be using them again in the future.

Dave saved me!  after spending hours trying to install a new thermostat (i'm not at all handy) I called Patterson's.  he arrived in 15 minutes and had me up and running in no time.

I wouldn't recommend. I called this company on Monday requesting they hang two TV's. The guy who answered was rude, unhelpful and before I knew it he said he could do the job, but hung up right after. He was supposed to come tomorrow, so I called to confirm today. Sure enough, he said he didn't remember and then hung up.

So unprofessional and a waste of time.

They were at my home on 2 occasions in Rogers Park. The work was excellent and finished in a reasonable amount of time. Thanks from Norm.

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

Don is a bit slow on the draw, and forgets to follow-up at times.  He is climbing up in his years, and I think should be about ready to retire, but despite his occasional forgettfulness, he is a great guy, down-to-earth, and knows his electrical buisness.  He is fair and guarantees his work.  I highly recommend Don Carmen Electric

When other handymen refused to work on my job, Rob stepped up with his crew to get it done.  Alex was great when he showed up and got things done quickly.

I would recommend them and use them again.
