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!

High recommend this electrician!!  Service could not have been better!  Tony showed up on time, wearing a mask.  Very friendly and polite, very efficient, figured out what was wrong with my light fixture and switch and fixed it, no problem.  Everything works great now!  Very reasonable price as well.  All Power will be my go-to electricians from now on.!

I scheduled Excel to come over and replace my doorbell transformer, change our two outdoor lights to motion detector lights, and replace a light fixture in backyard with the exact same brand and stock item because the rust had made it impossible to change the lights on the old one. The fellow arrived with a doorbell transformer that did not fit my description that I gave their office, so he got on the phone with his boss for 10 min, and he figured out the one he had would also work (it does seem to work although it's not the one I requested from Excel that ADT recommended for their Ring doorbell so I guess stay posted whether ADT thinks it's the right one when they come back out). Then, on to the front lights. I thought they were making the existing lights motion lights or even lights that go on at night (putting them on a timer). He gets on the phone again with his boss for 10 min and offers to go out to buy lights, but I like the look of my existing ones, and I don't want to pay for an electrician's time buying lights. I guess they thought I had bought new lights to install. So, we decide to forget that job. He, then, replaced the outside back light with same kind. Total for job? $390. Hmmm...seems a bit high to me. Transformer costs $10-25.00 so that was his only part. He was not here more than 90 min and some of that was phone time with boss. If he's confused about a job, I should not be paying for his time on the phone. I think about the time it took for the two items, and it should have been more like $200-total, not $400. I felt cheated which is too bad--first time this company came out, around 8 years ago, I thought they were amazing. I actually kept their contact information for 8 yrs....but not anymore.

I recently bought a new home and needed to re-wire some of the work done by the last owner as well as install some outdoor lighting. They were informative, professional, and fairly priced. They gave me a complimentary inspection in light of the issues they noticed. It worked out in the end and I'm very satisfied.

Highly recommended in every respect. Came out the same day that I called and, seeing that it was quick & easy fix, refused to take payment.

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

Service with a smile
John showed up for a free estimate and followed up the next day with service will definitely be using his services in the future. Super professional and fairly priced.

Made & kept the appointment on time to fix my A/C but they severely overcharged me - only because it was a hot summer day and they were busy.

For a job that took only 30 minutes and to replace a part that costs around $150 online - they billed me $850+

So definitely some price gouging going on in their busy days. I'd avoid them.

I was in the electrical distribution business for  over 14 years and I have seen the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to companies professionalism and quality work. I called Father and Son Electrical late in the afternoon and they were able to come out within a couple of hours and fix our issue. I highly recommend using this company for all your electrical needs!  I was blown away by them!

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.

Our Condo building uses ABS Electric for our common area electrical repairs and equipment replacement.  Have not had a job they could not do.
My wife and I had used them in the past in our condo unit for a chandelier move and adding a couple of dimmer switches.  All went well.
Today we used them to add two ceiling can lights with dimmer switches and rough out a wall in our bedroom so we could add an electric fireplace.  More work then I imagined but they tackled the job of moving conduit pipes that where there, adding a junction box and another  two outlets. Brian and Jason were on time, worked hard, did a couple of great installations and left the area neat and clean.I thought the price was fair. I feel comfortable recommending ABS Electric to my condo neighbors.

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.

Gave a very reasonable quote to add several new outlets, reroute some unsightly cable wires, repair a spliced alarm wire, and install a new chandelier.

Also a friendly team with good communication.

Sal was great.  We had a chandelier to hang here in West Rogers Park and he was over in under an hour after calling out of the blue on a Saturday.  He also rotated another chandelier several degrees in another room for no extra cost.  He was very enthusiastic and good to work with.

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.

Jamie is fantastic, we have used him on two different occasions for various electrical work. He is timely, fair on price and all around great guy. Thank you Jamie!

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.

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.
