Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

Fast, on time, honest service.  We asked for a pre home inspection of our electrical panel, expecting news that we'd need to a good amount of cleaning up (it's from the 1970's) but Ted took his time to thoroughly examine, and confidently determined it's in great order, safe, etc.  He said it was up to code and there was no reason to do anything to it.  What a huge relief.  He is putting it on letterhead for us, for a future home inspection for peace of mind.  Very minimal charge for his service.  I am highly recommending Kinetic Energy (and Ted!) - they were honest, amazing!!

Needed an electrical outlet moved and a light fixture replaced quick. Cliff was very accommodating and professional! Highly recommend him for all electrical needs!

Chris did great work on our home project. He was very honest every step of the way and was very responsive. I would highly reccomend him and will use his service again in the future.

Based on reviews I had picked him to repair my refrigerator he charged lot of money to repair it and within a year the refrigerator died it is a nightmare when your fridge stops working in 90* weather I tried calling him left a message not even a courtesy to return phone call , will never use him nor recommend him to any one
If you get work done by him it won't last long looks like he uses used part not genuine at all. Very disappointed.

Terrible company. This man is a scam artist. Not licensed, check for yourself. Stole 2000 from me and almost caused my home to burn down to to his neg

You bought the materials. You scammed me. Now you're saying I bought the materials? You're about to be in a lawsuit with my partners. 1.) Fraud-you aren't licensed, we checked. 2.) You operated outside of our contract by using illegal material, as stated in our contract you were to bring the property to code. 3.) We are putting a lien on your business for the state of Illinois to dissolve your company for the above named reasons. You really must be so undereducated that you think you can get away with scamming people. Oh, and your not hard to find either, so I would quit with the threats. Have a great day. Your a no one that I'm suing.

I contacted Frank Adrian when the underground electrical line my store (MOORE Toys & Gadgets) failed.  He helped navigate ComEd and talked through the options (replace underground line or go overhead to the pole.)  He even gave me the name of a competitor to determine if splicing the fault was the most economical thing to do.  Even when I contemplated the splice repair with his competitor, he was thoughtful, professional and helpful.  I decided the best course of action was to replace the underground line and Adrian Electric did the work (along with Russ, a directional borer.)  My power was fully restored today, and I will absolutely recommend Adrian Electric, and will go to them for my future electrical needs both at my store and at my home.  Thank you Frank!

I've used Joe for multiple jobs of varying complexity. The last job he hung curtain rods, trued up my misfitting doors, and diagnosed my dripping faucet as a job requiring a new fixture. He also remade a door handle that he just noticed needed fixing. In earlier jobs, Joe hung valuable stained glass and secured a heavy mirror to the wall, making sure it was embedded in studs. He also installed an antique light fixture. Joe is prompt and polite. When he trued my doors (which created a fairly large mess) he cautioned in advance about the wood chips. I just vacuumed up as he went. Some people here gripe about the cost, but I think they underestimate the value he delivers.

My work hired NNY Electrical Services for our electrical needs. The electrician we had the pleasure of working with was Ninos.  Ninos has done several jobs for us at this point, and we have never been anything but extremely satisfied with his services.  Besides being super nice, reliable and a perfectionist (good traits for an electrician to have!), the prices for the jobs were very reasonable. We would definitely recommend Ninos.

JMR completed my project quickly and on budget. The team was flexible and worked with my schedule. They clearly communicated what was needed to complete my project and kept me up to date.
I highly recommend JMR.

Jaime was amazing. Great communication, great rates, and everything was fixed so easily. He even went the extra mile and fixed a light for us as well.  Wouldn't think of calling anyone else.

We talked about for years but never got around to having a backup generator installed. I guess like others, the only real time you speak about a back up generator is when the power goes out and you're sitting in the dark not knowing if it will be minutes hours or days until the power comes on again.
So after the storms in June we finally started looking for a company that is qualified to install a backup generator, a licensed electrician and reputable.
We called around, we even used Home advisor which was a complete mess since we were bombarded with calls from guys who seemed to sell generators as a side business.
Finally we came to yelp and read Fail Safe Electric's reviews. Good company, great guy and someone we felt we could trust with our home.

Mixed thoughts.

Started out on the right foot...I needed an electrician to check out my smoke/CO2 detectors as they were on the fritz and randomly going off - not cool. JD Pro (Dominik) was the first to respond to my Yelp RFQ, always a good sign IMO.

On the day of the job, Dominik was punctual, professional and we agreed that replacing all 6 detectors was the safe bet. We got to talking and I told him I was thinking about having some other electrical work done - projects that would be significantly more profitable for him.

Then I got the estimates and an invoice back from Dominik. This is where things took a different turn. His estimates for the other projects seemed on par, BUT then I noticed he had charged me over $500 for simply replacing 6 smoke detectors. I get the cost of goods aspect and flat service fee, but did it really cost me over $220 in additional labor for him to simply click in the new detectors? I could have connected them myself in under 5 mins. Lesson learned.  

The saddest thing is Dominik apparently didn't have the foresight to realize he could have made a lot more $$$ if he would have been reasonable on the simple project. Oh well, I still wish him all the best.

James did an awesome job helping me figure out my door bell situation. He was very responsive to my messages. He's super knowledgeable and friendly. He was even able to explain to me the mechanism of how all the wires could work (because my doorbell had 12+ wires too it instead of the standard 3) in simpler terms. Overall, I would highly recommend him. Thank you!

Terrible service, felt scammed the entire time. Tried to up charge me by hundreds of dollars. Took advantage of me not knowing electrical issues. Tried to charge me $650 for what second electrician I called told me was $120 worth of repairs. Beyond frustrating company to work with.

They probably nice people having a bad day, but I called just to get some info and got hung up on twice. The first time I was hung up on soon as I finished my question. Then I thought the phone might have just messed up, no biggie. I call back get immediately put on hold and 90 seconds in it picks up and I get hung up on again. Not trying to be a bother, just was interested in your services and prices.
