Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

We had an emergency service call the day after Thanksgiving and Adam came out after three other prior service calls late at night.  He was very personable and helpful, answering all our questions and educating us at the same time.  Our immediate issue is resolved but if we need further guidance, we will reach out to him again.

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.

Mark came out and did a great job. On the last fixture, we identified a wiring fault and he had to schedule a follow-up. He called the office and - within minutes - the office called me to schedule the additional work.

**They even asked me if I wanted the job on 2 invoices or 1**

Anyone who has had to add on extra days to a job knows how complicated that can sometimes get with billing. To be asked shows me that JD is concerned with having a positive outcome. Highly recommended.

I met Racine through my realtor. After I bought my condo the shower had really low water pressure. My realtor told me he knew a great plumber and electrician who he had worked with for many years on different projects. I gave Racine a call, he fixed the water pressure problem in the shower; since then he has done electrical work for me and other plumbing projects.

I have referred him to my family and friends who are also very happy with his work. Racine has over 20 years experience as an electrician, plumber, painter, etc. When I need work done on my condo I always call on Racine, he takes pride in his work, charges the price he quoted, always arrives when he says, and is very professional. I feel lucky to have met him when I first bought my condo instead of going through the process of finding the right general contractor. Although his office is on the Southside, I live in Rogers Park; he travels all over the city and suburbs.

I can't recommend Damien's Wire Men enough. He showed up in person and was polite, punctual and pleasant . I had a circuit breaker tripping He made a precise estimate over the phone after I sent him a picture of my breaker box. As it turned out, it wasn't the breaker but in the wiring and he figured out where the problem was very quickly. He clearly knows his business. He's now my go to guy for electrical.

Called to make an appointment for a quote and spoke with Phil.  He said he'd call back in a half hour and that was last month.

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 the good fortune of having Economy Heating install a furnace / air conditioner back in 2010.  First of all, the product has worked outstanding.   During a recent problem, it was necessary to rule out a cracked heat exchanger due the fear of carbon monoxide.........the response by the Economy crew was amazing!!!  Dave Rivera (owner) and his technician Steve were nothing short of outstanding!!!  The problem was actually the fault of a dirty filter......so it was a totally positive experience!!!!

My home had an electrical fire in the fuse panel overnight. Fathers Electric came out at 1:30 am and repaired the issue. We're very thankful that we were able to get the furnace going on such a cold night and have the fire issue fixed. The bill was very reasonable considering.

Charged me for 5 hours or work, when he was on the phone not working on my project for at least an hour, and also charged me for his time when he had to correct a mistake he made.
That's a lot of money to pay hourly.

Our outside electric box fueling our koi pond was on the fritz and wasn't working.  I reached out to White Electric and they emailed me back rather quickly with an estimate.  I hired them for a convenient time for all and they arrived in the morning.  They were completely knowledgeable and professional with all rules and regulations, which was very much appreciated.  They worked on the outlet and got it up and running while informing my husband what, exactly, needs to be done to it.  Their prices are reasonable and their services are unbeatable!  We will definitely call them again for future services.

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.

Don helped me with an issue we were having with our plumbing. Our ejector wasn't working right and it was backing up repeatedly. We've had others come by to work on it, but Don was able to actually fix it. Couldn't be happier - fast and efficient.

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.
