Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

Needed 3 dimmer switches installed - $30 total.  Didn't charge by hour (most electricians I called wanted $125/hour.  They just cut me a fair deal and even picked up the parts I needed for lower price better than Home Depot was charging.  These guys were great, highly recommend.  Great Value.

Kate reached out and was thorough and responsive. I was arranging work remotely for my mom & the electrician was kind enough to explain to me the work needed/done through FaceTime. Highly recommend for North Shore/Chicagoland electrician needs.

Brian was extremely polite, honest, and very efficient. He fixed the electrical problem I had going on without breaking a sweat! Will definitely be reaching out to him again in the future if any services are needed!! Thanks again Brian!

Could not say enough great things about Milan at MD Advanced Electric. Hired him to hardwire my pool pump. I kept getting delays in my pool install, and Milan was super flexible. The day he came out to do the work, it was well over 100 degrees with the heat index. Milan got all the work done quickly, and even took the time to show me that all the safety aspects of the install were working.

Would absolutely hire again!

We had Billy install a new 50 gallon hot water heater, new garbage disposal and new sump pump with battery backup.  Great job and total professional.  This guy is the ultimate handyman.  He even gave some tips on other issues in my house and was very easy to talk to.  Highly recommend and pricing was good.

I had been a regular customer of Oakwood Electric for last few years.  They have been doing the annual service on our whole house Generac generator.  Since I considered myself a loyal Oakwood customer when I decided to have a 240 volt outlet installed for an electric vehicle I naturally thought I would use Oakwood.  What a mistake that turned out to be.

At the time I made the appointment for this year's annual generator service I inquired about getting a proposal to install the new outlet.  Rob, the owner, came out to do the proposal.  As he was assessing what needed to be done I asked him a few questions about installation and if he had any advice.  His response was that they only had experience with Tesla chargers so he couldn't offer any advice.  I should have picked up on his apparent disinterest.  Another cue was when I asked about whether we needed anything special for the new outlet to make sure the generator is not over whelmed if a vehicle is being charged and the generator comes on due to loss of utility power.  Turns out, we do.  Had I not asked about the need for a power management device it would not have come up.  He didn't know we have a generator.  Rather surprising since the person who made the appointment for the proposal was the same person who set up the appointment for this year's generator maintenance.  Based on this and what was yet to occur, internal communication within Oakwood is questionable, at best.

A few days after Rob's visit I called Oakwood Electric to inquire about having some additional maintenance items recommended by Generac included as part of this year's generator maintenance.  Really pretty standard things; changing a filter and a routine engine adjustment.  The lady I spoke with was unfamiliar with the items and said she needed to find out.  Turns out Rob was there and so she asked him.  Apparently he didn't realize, or didn't care, that I could hear him because his response was that they wouldn't do either item because it was too hard.  He said that he would prefer not to service the specific model Generac generator we have because the unit is not easy to work on.  I couldn't ignore his last statement so I asked the lady to whom I was speaking about what was going on.  Specifically, even though they had been servicing my generator for the last few years are they now refusing to do so?  She said they would do the regular service and not the additional items I asked about.

The day of installation the tech did not show up at the agreed upon window of time.  I called the office about 30 minutes after the scheduled time and was told he's on his way.  A few minutes later Courtney from Oakwood Electric called me back to say the tech had an issue at home and he would be at my house in about an hour.  So he went from being on his way to not being on his way but still home.  Ok.  Over an hour later still no tech.  I called again, and once more Courtney told me that he was on his way.  I asked if she had spoken with him and her response was that he was on his way.  Ten minutes later she called me to let me know he still was at home and could we reschedule the installation.  At this point I had, had it.  Lied to twice by Oakwood's staff as well as I am not interested in having a tech who apparently doesn't have a sense of responsibility to keep his employer informed do work for me.  I cancelled the installation.

I found another electrician to do the installation who not only is less expensive, he is charging 20% less, but also doing it right by getting a permit which, as I found out from other electricians, is required by the city in which I live.  I also decided to have another approved Generac generator maintenance company handle the maintenance of our generator.  The new local company selected to do maintenance is not only less expensive than Oakwood but also their standard service procedures include the additional maintenance items I asked about that Oakwood is not interested in doing.

Bottom line - from my experience if you want bad service and over pay for it, Oakwood is for you.

Had an issue where I needed a replacement of an old pushmatic breaker to comply with an inspection.   Don came himself and was able to get me up and running !!!  He even fixed some of the honey do items I incorrectly installed..

Great service, great price.  100% recommend !!!

We were getting a drain tile installed right before Christmas.  Elton did a great job.  We had a major electrical issue and came by same day.  He gave us a fair estimate. He and his team did a great job, we're very respectful, and were top notch!  We'd strongly recommend using them.  Thank you so much for your great job!!!

Al is the best. We needed an electrician to move some junction boxes for an hvac install and Al came out and took care of it right away among other jobs around the house. He does great work and his rates are extremely fair. I strongly recommend him!!

Master Handymen are great.  They actually respond to e-mails and phone calls and in a timely manner, which is a rarity amongst other handymen in Chicago.  They are also always on time when they show up for the work.  They can do a huge variety of work (installing a new shower to hanging blinds), and are very fair about their pricing.  I would highly recommend them!

Great service.  Kevin is knowledgeable, friendly and trustworthy.  For the problem I was having, he assessed the situation and said no major repair would be needed.  He came up with an alternative solution to fix the issue instead.  I highly recommend Welter Home Services.   The price was reasonable too.

Wow!  Added 3 surface mounted spots in the ceiling and a wall switch in our 100+ yr old house in Wilmette. Zero mess. Nothing to paint or patch. Ryan arrived - covered everything with tarps - neatly laid out all the tools and parts needed, consulted on location with my wife and finished before 3pm. Could not be more satisfied.

Josh was awesome. came out and was able to do the work same day for us. On par for price point of what I was expecting

Highly highly recommended! Fast, professional and affordable. This is the honest electrician you're looking for. Thank you for giving us our home back!

Called and they came within a 1/2 hour! Fixed our problem, were honest, professional and courteous. I would recommend them for any electrical issues you may have.

They did a great job. So quick and thorough. our power would trip if we used several appliances in our kitchen at the same time.  if we knew how painless and  inexpensive the fix was, we'd have done it sooner. The  electrician just changed some  wiring in the breaker box and also tightened some wires that were loose. We feel so much safer and comfortable in our home. Thank you so much CLC Electric!

Very satisfied! Called, got my appointment same day as he was willing to come in the evenings to accommodate my schedule.  Electrician replaced my light fixture without charging any extra for extra parts and from the hourly rate he had quoted which was VERY reasonable.  Overall, couldn't have worked out any better.
