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!!

Steve replaced four outdoor light fixtures and installed a GFI outlet in the kitchen. Great communication setting up the appointment, electrician was exactly on time. He explained the work clearly and completed it quickly while making sure we were satisfied and everything worked properly. Excellent experience, highly recommend!

Do not trust this company.  I contacted this company through HomeAdvisors.com.  He came to my house and looked over the project.  He said he would be happy to take on the work.... until it came to setting up a mutually beneficial contract.  He claimed vertigo the morning of our appointment.  He promised to contact me later that day to reschedule.  I respectfully waited 4 days to phone him.  He doesn't respond.  Obviously, he doesn't want my work.  I wasted time getting my project done thinking he would do it.  He's just another slippery contractor. His following exculpatory reply was sent to me the day AFTER I posted my review.

Had to call John for a dryer problem.
Came out within a few hours and had it up and running in no time. Also gave me a few tips on preventing the same problem, as well a few others.
Very reasonable rates!!

Keith does great work at very competitive prices. We own a vintage condo and every project is a sort of archaeological expedition. He is able to tackle any problem or challenge skillfully and we're very pleased with all three projects he has completed for us. Everything looks great and we recommend him any chance we get.

We had the good fortune to select Frank to do a very time-sensitive replacement of two circuit-breaker panels, prior to the sale of our son's condo.  The breaker boxes needed to be replaced quickly since they were identified as a potential problem by the buyer's inspector, and the closing depended upon replacement by a qualified electrician.  We found Frank to be polite, patient (he took the time to explain options, the process he would follow,and answer miscellaneous questions regarding the functioning of the boxes) and competent.  He completed the job as described, accurately, on time, and at a fair price.  We will use Frank for any future electrical issues, and highly recommend him.

I highly recommend Joe's Handyman Service. Its true his services don't come cheap but you get what you pay for, a well done job.  We had him unclog a problem drain in our shower and he was sure to call to let me know that he was running a few minutes later than scheduled. Along with unplugging our drain (which was a bigger job that first expected) he also fixed a dripper main water shut off in our closet and a drippy faucet. He is careful to explain what he is doing and is scrupulous about explaining what all the charges are for. Last fall, he came to our place for the first time to fix our steam radiators and saved us from a leaky valve and our fight with roasting the entire winter long. We will be calling Joe again next time we have a electrical, heating or plumbing problem.

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.

Half of the outlets didn't work in our kitchen and we couldn't figure out why. We called JMR and Jose was very polite and professional on the phone. Luckily he was going to be in the area so he got us in quickly. He was very through! He would not stop until he found our answer and kept us informed the whole time. He was very reasonably priced too. Jose is the owner who serviced us

Jamie was great.  He gave me a good price to install a new electrical outlet for our dryer.  He was available to come out quickly and while he was here he fixed a three way switch that wasn't working properly!

The electrician that came out did a great job installing a chandelier that we wanted to replace, and verified that we were set up for a dryer (which we weren't certain that we were) in our new house.

He was pleasant and charged us a reasonable price, and gave us peace of mind about the things we'd asked him to do.

We'd definitely recommend Peter for doing your home electrical work.

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.
