Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

Loved guy showed up in a mask. He was polite, efficient and prompt. I plan to have him do some work for me after the thanksgiving holiday.

Tim was awesome. He came and installed my smart switches. Very professional. And answered all my questions. I will definitely be reaching out to Tim in the near future for all my Electrical projects.

These guys respond quickly and do the job right.  I've been using them for 3-4 years.

I called him on a Friday night. He came on Saturday morning. My bathtub was stopped up. Great Job. Only thing was he didn't really use his credit card machine, so have cash or a check handy. Otherwise, I will call him again.

Damian was very communicative and flexible, able to come out to us quickly with good recommendations. They replaced our garage opener, created an outlet, and some other minor things, and we are happy with the work they did, would recommend.

VIP Electric has worked on all of my high-end Kitchen, Bathroom and Whole house remodel projects for the last 8 years and still continue to do all of my projects.  My clients, along with myself and my company have been extremely satisfied with their quality of work, communication and attention to detail.  In the high-end, luxury remodeling market quality work is expected hands down.  The majority of my clients have also had VIP Electric do additional work in their home after the project with me is completed.  I highly recommend them for any project.  You get what you pay for so if you want it done the right way they are the company you want to work with.

I bought a new Tesla and chose to install a High Speed Charger in my home.
I was given Jamie Salerno's name at Newberry Electric from the Tesla people.
He was AWESOME!  I live in Naperville and had to get permits.  Naperville's utility at the time was very anxious about how much power the charger/ car would draw.  They insisted I install a new Electric meter.  I had to upgrade my electric service panel and run heavy duty electric lines to my garage.  They even made me pay a fee to upgrade the local electric transformer that was due to be replaced anyway because of age.

This took months waiting for the electric utility to give me a new electric meter and grant the permits.  Newberry stood with me every step of the way.  Jamie's work sailed thru the inspections which were more thorough than when I remodeled my basement.  Considering how nervous the electric utility was about high energy electric car chargers, I was happy to have a pro.  For those of you non Tesla electric car people, Tesla uses a proprietary car charger system that gives much more power and much faster charge than local public charging stations.  An eight hour charge at a public station can be done under 90 minutes at a Tesla high speed charging station.  

Needless to say, I'm happy with the work.  I've had no problems, no blown circuits and my house did not burn down.  My electric bill per month is less than what I spent on gas with my last car.  Jamie has done more work on my home unrelated to High Voltage circuits and I can't praise him enough.  He's fixed underground electric line to our outdoor pond and fixed a line in my kitchen that kept tripping our circuit breaker.  He quickly found the fault and fixed it at very reasonable price.  But the most beautiful work was the electric service panel and safety circuit breaker in the garage and outside.  I have an electrical engineer friend who came over to admire the work after Jamie was done.  He was impressed with the system install .... and the car.

I endorse Newberry's work and appreciate their professionalism.

I had trouble last night with my furnace shutting down.  I called Dave at Economy and he sent out a Technician Steve first thing in the morning.  He found the problem, fixed the problem, checked several other components, cleaned up as he went along.  He was very efficient, courteous, and knowledgable.  After testing the unit, and checking incoming and outgoing temperatures, he asked if I had any other problems or questions.  What more could you ask ?
This work was still covered under the 10 year warranty I was given when I purchased this unit from Economy.  ( 9-1/2 years later )   The first problem ever.

A++++
Great work done at an even better price. All the union experience at a much better price.
On time and work hard to meet your schedule.
Work is done proper and is explained to you what was done.
Definitely will use this company again.

Mike is an incredibly knowledgeable electrician and nice person to boot.
He did some electrical work in my kitchen and he was in and out within an hour. He explained everything he was doing along the way.

He was incredibly easy to make an appointment with and he's reasonably priced, too. For the quality of work, and the timeliness of the work being done, he's the best bet for your money.

We had an overall great experience with Gabi.  He always showed up when he said he would.  He replaced some light fixtures, replaced our outdated ceiling can lights with led lights, changed outlets and light switches throughout our house and fixed some shorts and issues we were having.  We will most definitely use him in the future for any of our electrical needs and we highly recommend him!

As a broke college student, I really cannot afford the créme de la créme of apartments in this marvelous city of Chicago. So I settled for a decent one in Logan Square but the electricity was. . . let's just say it had a personality of its own. It varied from having exposed wirings, turning on and off when my roommate ran on the treadmill, having one super outlet with like 10 outlets in one room, sometimes working in the bathroom (on a good day), it was horrible.

In comes Hugo Electric to the rescue, thank God. They're a family-owned business, Poppa Bear and his two sons, literally. They also came punctually and saw the status of the apartment and were very observant and detailed about what would entail in this project of revamping the place. They were very easy going and down to earth people, trying to help you out, not rip you off like other companies I've experienced. They were contracted, alas, and lasted two days upgrading the electrical wiring for the whole apartment, installing new switches and outlets so two roommates can use their outlets at the same time! Imagine that. All that for about $900, including labor, material, and all that special stuff that includes ending your headaches and frustrations trying to plug in you straightener and curling iron at the same time. They were very clean and thorough, and really made an impression on my beloved haven of a home. I would definitely use them again and recommend so to my friends and family!

We Conduit Electric has done various types electric work for my friends and family ranging from full build out of a house, residential generator to commercial space.  I built a home and We Conduit Electric did all the electrical work.  They did an amazing job while providing great customer service.  Not only did they complete the work timely but also the work was quality and provided some additional electrical ideas (If I were to build my house, I'd do...). It was easy working with these guys and would recommend them to all of my family and friends.

My family, friends and I have hired Don to help with all sorts of different tasks: plumbing, clean up, door lock repairs, he even hung a large picture on the hall above my stairs, which was really tricky to get at. He does it all! Very responsive, reasonable rates and Don is just a pleasure to work with.

I work in the Patten Building, located in the South Loop. Patten is an old, old, old Building. Jesus probably visited friends who resided in this building. The building's electrical system is old to match, and don't even get me started about the Air Conditioner. . .

Said antediluvian AC has been on-again-off-again since I began working in this building about a year ago. The culprit -  a huge, antiquated and worn beyond usable breaker.

The solution? Prime Electric Co. They arranged to come make a FREE estimate, order the part and have it installed, within 24 hours for only $350!! The next closest competitor was going to charge $200 just to look at the panel. And the next guy was trying to charge about $550 for it.

Prompt, honest and knowledgeable: That's Prime Electric.

This is the first time I've ever posted a negative review of a business or owner. However this one was earned. I scheduled an appointment a week in advance but Evergreen Electric was a No Call No Show. I even called twice and spoke to a receptionist who promised to contact the owner and call me back with an update but never did. I can't believe how disrespectful they were with no regard for the time I sat home waiting. If you are experiencing a crisis or have to take time off work to wait for service I would advise that you don't use this company. Terrible terrible terrible!!!
Zero stars, I just had to select one to complete this post.
Thanks for nothing.
