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 have called Tony and All Power Electric twice this year for two of my rental properties. They were able to fit me in quickly, with consistent communication and reliable service. You may find someone cheaper, but Tony is thorough and knowledgeable. I plan on using All Power Electric in the future.

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.

Looking for a reputable, kind, timely, professional, competitive electrician? Dion is your man.

He arrived on time and was able to complete (read: finish) a job in THREE DAYS that another less-than-savory electrician had delayed for over 6 weeks!!!

He is friendly, communicative and gets the job done.  He even made suggestions to put nice finishing touches we hadn't considered.  

We've already referred him to our neighbors - who equally were happy with their experience.  

5 Stars!

Frank Perlongo did a lot of electric work in my old Berwyn bungalow.  He's very reasonable and does top quality work. He's a perfectionist!  I will always call him for any job, big or small. I highly recommend him.  He had to re-do my ceiling fans and other electric that was done incorrectly. He really knows his stuff!

John is a seasoned electrician. He was very experienced and thorough. His pricing was very reasonable. He was very professional and I will definitely use again!

Excellent service from a trustworthy company.  Have used them a few times from routine HVAC check-ups to HVAC repairs and replacing a water heater.  Calls are answered almost immediately and if not they call back in a timely manner.  Both the HVAC and Water Heater issues were taken care of same day (next day for water heater since original consult showed needing a replacement unit) but their rates were very reasonable and they don't gauge for 'emergency' service calls.  Their techs have always showed up at the scheduled time and been fast but professional.  It's refreshing having a service firm you can count on for both excellent service and fair treatment.

Vlad (Father) came to our new home for inspection the same day I called. Over two days he helped us with all things electrical. From our mortgage home inspection, we learned of many small (and some large) electrical problems throughout our place. We have a very old home, and Vlad was knowledgeable on all issues and worked tirelessly into the dark hours.

Some of the issues included:
* Replacing poorly installed outlets
* Adding needed wire to improperly built outlet boxes
* Resolving reverse polarity outlets
* Running new line and boxes through our attic for improved electrical options
* Grounding poorly connected outlets
* Fuse box review
* New lines to our closets for lighting
    ~ Installing associated lighting
* Fixing our front porch lines which had previously messed up light switch locations
    ~ This involved running new line
    ~ Repairing very old line and resolving connectivity issues
* Correcting the electrical lines to our garage
    ~ Rewiring garage door box
    ~ Running line and installing new lights in garage

We couldn't happier with his work and you will not find better prices. This was confirmed through many 3rd party discussions. Vlad also returned to resolve any faults that reappeared based on old home issues to guarantee his work. He also personally went to the store to gather all needed equipment and materials for the extra work requests I had on site.

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 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!!!

I had a wall switch installed to control a ceiling light that did no have a switch as well having new wiring run to put a ceiling fan in and a wall switch to control the fan and its light.  Tom came out and gave me the estimate and Nick came back to do the work; both are very professional.  Nick showed up right on time and got right to work.  He had to open a hole in the wall for switches and one in the ceiling for the fan, as well as needing to get up in the attic to run wires.  The work was done quickly, everything works as it should and it was done very clean.  After the work was done it was like everything had already been there and you would never know anyone was in our house doing work because Nick cleaned up great after the work was done.  No chipping in the paint or wall around where to holes were made which amazed me (I assumed I would find something, but nothing was visible, it was perfect).  After my experience with In Town Electric, I have no need to look anywhere else for electrical work; I highly recommend this company!

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 called Sal from Florida to see if he could meet me at my daughters new apartment in Lincon Park when I was in Chicago for 48 hours.  He answered the phone right away and made an appt for Saturday morning.  I flew in on Friday, picked up a chandelier, and Sal showed up right on time Sat. Morning.  He was friendly, reliable and truly a professional.  I would highly recommend Sal.

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

Don, has been performing electrical work for us for many years. You can always get advice and a great job performed from Don. Don is one of the last old timers whose word is his bond, Gary J.

The pricing is confusing. I was charged an $89 fee to show up which I understood as what would typically be the diagnostic fee and then $125/hr. The guy was here for 20 min, could not actually do the repair, and needed to go do research to see if the parts were available to do the work and I am left with a $214 bill. As an architect who works with construction people on a daily bases, this is not how I have ever seen someone do business. I would say to make sure that they have the capability to do the job and get everything in writing beforehand.
