Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

I lost power on a circuit in my house. Tried to figure out what was going on but power kept going out. Thought my breaker went bad. Called Patrick in the morning and he spent several minutes walking me through troubleshooting. He said if it kept doing it, someone would come out later in the day. Luckily what he had me do seemed to work. He didn't have to take time with me and could have come and just charged me, but thankful for his free expertise and guidance. Next electrical project will go to Patrick and see how their work is. If it is anything like their customer service, I'll be thrilled.

I have had a number of electricians try to fix a number of electrical problems in my home.  I was lucky enough to find Upgrade Electric!  I spoke with the owner, Wally, and he was extremely knowledgeable, volunteered a cost estimate without me having to ask and assured me that they could fix whatever needed fixing.  Robert and Mark arrived at my home and fixed my chandelier, a light switch that hadn't worked in years, and fixed my garage lights so that they operate by switch...after 14 years! They even changed light bulbs in a 20ft ceiling that I couldn't replace.
They were extremely knowledgeable, nice, cleaned up after the work was done and I paid a very fair price for the work!!!
I will NEVER call another electrician and HIGHLY recommend Upgrade Electric!! I have told my family and friends about them.  
It is very rare these days to find a service provider who is honest, fair and I cannot explain how appreciative I am.  Thank you Wally, Robert and Mark!

We had an obsolete circuit breaker that needed replacing and the service was quick, convenient and priced properly. Got the job done in 3-4 hours to replace the breaker and paneling. Technician came on short notice and was able to get us back power and came back the next day to replace everything. Quality work, would recommend.

We needed to have a 52-inch fan installed on a 17-foot ceiling.  I called 5 electricians that had been recommended by the place from where we purchased the fan (Menards). Three of the 5 quoted prices $400 and up.  One wouldn't take the job because he didn't have ladders tall enough.  But Jeff Schimanski charged significantly less than the others. He took the old fan down and installed the new one, and he did a great job.  I highly recommend Jeff!

He was a great electrician! He is no longer in business but I sure wish he were. I miss this business!

We had Mo come out to install a ceiling fan and take care of a couple of last minute opinions/requests. He was super professional, fast, and made the entire process seamless. We're so happy we chose B.U.E. and we will be using them again for future projects!

Awesome!   I did my research...   We had several electrical issues, they took care of everything..  Reasonable rates,  professional, courteous..  I would use them again for sure..  Highly recommend....   Julie

I called Alexander Swanson when a hole was discovered in the lower corner of my front door. He replied within the day and after looking at the photos sent, was able to offer some solutions. We set up a time to meet and he came out to look at the issue in person. After looking at the area he explained what he would fix, how he would fix it and walked through the steps. That was appreciated because it helped to know what was going on and what the options were. He also took health considerations into the options, which was very much appreciated and made sure that a vacuum was running to catch any dust the was created while fixing the door. On the day of the job he arrived and set straight to work. There was a clear focus on what needed to be done and no time was wasted. Not only did Alex and his partner work consistently, he took the time to make sure measurements were exact and sanded down the replacement wood block to ensure a great seal. It was great. I would highly recommend him to anyone and encourage you to try a company that listens to your concerns and makes sure the job is done expertly and cleanly.

This company is terrific - I've had them out for big and small jobs, they are responsive, efficient, and reasonably priced.

I got Mr Dragovic's  company name and number along with a few other referrals  from Menards. I'm  ery glad I picked him.

A small metal ruler accidentally fell onto  the power strip surge protector just as I was unplugging my cell charger in the wee hours of the morning. Sparks flew out of the surge protector and the metal ruler melted in 2 places. The surge protector had burn marks too.

I was thankful I wasnt injured. My power went off everywhere. I was really scared and the next day had a neighbor fiddle around with the circuit breaker. They couldn't figure it out.
I had no idea what was damaged or how bad the problem was going to be. I was worried about the state of my expensive TV and my electric recliner chair...

Mr. Dragovic answered my phone call right away. He actual tried to help me over the phone to see if I could fix my own circuit breaker problem and to save me the cost of the service call.
Some people I think may not have tried to help me on the phone.
I was so upset and worried  at that moment  I just wanted him to come over.  

He made it to my place in less than 30 minutes. I was surprised he was able to come over pretty quickly the same day, late monday afternoon.
I was thinking I would have to wait until the next day to get any service!

He was wore a mask. He was very pleasant, personable and professional- as well as knowledgable.

He was right, there was a little sequence that needed to be performed in a certain way in  the circuit breaker and it was not obvious.  It was a little tricky.  
(Perhaps if I had been calmer and  in a better state of mind, he might have been able to  help me on the phone. I think it is commendable that he wanted to try to help me without having a service call!)

He looked at the circuit box and  got the power on right away, very quickly. He showed me exactly what to do if it ever happened again.

He didnt try to replace anything that didnt need repairing just to take advantage of the situation. (Being female and pretty unfamiliar with electric work he could have replaced the whole circuit breaker and charged me whatever...
I was prepared for the worst...)

He was a good guy and was very honest.
I will definitely use his services if I need an electrician for anything in the future.

It was refreshing to have a service person of any type who was honest and caring.
I  highly recommend you give him a try.

I called this company because of proximity and the favorable Yelp reviews. Patrick came on time and was friendly and polite. He worked steadily and efficiently to complete the small jobs we had for him. When I need an electrician again, I will call Corb.

Very reasonably priced.
Quick response time and scheduling.
Work performed: ceiling fan, reconnecting light switches/electrical wiring and under cabinet lighting.  
Diagnosed and fixed the electrical problems without any issues.
Glad I found and definitely hiring again.

Ron and his assistant did really good job. He installed four pendant lights and chandelier. They got covers to cover area where they worked, which was really good. They kept all areas clean after finishing work. Quotes were good as compared to others. I would definitely recommend them.

No good at all!
Game me something different from what it was quoted and agreed upon, left a mess and damaged my walls saying doing that is standard... Stay away or you will be disappointed.

Had a job done a few months ago and it was fine.  Tried to get them to come for another job and was totally ignored by email.  Further blown off by phone. Guess you don't need business.
