Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

Top notch!  I had scheduled work to be done for 2 full ceiling fan installs (wiring, piping, etc.), and some other minor fixture replacements (new smoke detectors, closet light replacement, laundry room light replacement).  There was a scheduling mishap and my reservation/appointment 7 am, never got in the books.  I called 20 minutes after they said they'd be there (+/- 7:20 am) and was able to get a hold of Patrick (owner) and was apologized to and was asked to be available the next day.  I let him know that I would call him back.  I got a call 5 minutes after we hung up stating that he will pull some workers and come out later that day, which they did.  3 gentleman showed and started to get to work.  There were a few unforeseen issues and they asked if they could return the next day at 7 am to finish up.  The same workers were waiting outside my residence before 7 ready to work.  This team went above & beyond making the mistake right in the end.  With the laundry room light, it turned out to be just a broken switch that wasn't making the connection.  Don't be deterred from the low feedback, I'm here to help make it grow.  Patrick and his team are great, his prices were also the best around.  There were no hidden after the fact costs or surprises.  Give him a call and you won't be disappointed.

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!

Called Brighten Up about replacing an outside outlet .  Thought  I would be scheduling a future appointment.  Instead someone was on site in 20 minutes, replaced the outlet in another 20 minutes and was on his way!

Outstanding customer service over the phone and on site !

Amazing service.  From quoting to delivery in under a week.  They completed the work and cleaned up very well, even provided some options for no additional cost to help earn my business.  Other quotes were almost twice as much.  I would recommend these guys to anyone and will use again.

We got multiple quotes for our project which involved installing a ceiling fan (where there wasn't a pre-existing one) and a complete overhaul of the lighting in our full-floorplan basement.  Swanson's quote was right in the middle and his knowledge was far superior to the other companies we spoke to.  He suggested a specific lighting layout in our basement that he said would provide exactly the feel we wanted, and he and his team nailed it.  The work was quick and very professional, and the wiring and finish was so neat and clean.  I will absolutely call Swanson's again for any future project!  A+.

Great experience start to finish. Owner Bob Carlson is as professional and nice a guy as you will find as are all the young men who work for him. Efficient, high quality, on-time, reasonably priced work. Bob will be my go-to electrician forever.

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.

Victor and Corb Electric is fabulous! Wired my under cabinet lighting and replaced all my switches and outlets to code. Couldn't be happier?

I had two ceiling fans that needed to go up asap. I inadvertently picked two fans that weren't simply the standard. Sebastian was great! He arrived on time and had both fans up in the time discussed. They look amazing! I would definitely reach out to him again for other tasks.

First to respond to my request for a quote on some timer lights, scheduled for two days later and worked around my schedule.  Small job for him. Reasonable price, knew exactly what he was doing, very professional.  Highly recommend!

We recently moved to our new home in Elburn, and we wanted to make a few changes.  I wanted a gas range, a garbage disposal, a new light fixture installed and the outlets rewired because they were connected to light switches.  We hired Dave on two separate occasions to complete this work, and we are very pleased.  Dave is very professional, efficient and skilled.  He recommended an air switch for the garbage disposal, which we had never heard of.  We went with his recommendation.  It looks nicer than the traditional light switch on-off for the disposal, and it required less disruption to our kitchen to install.  Before we called Dave, we had another electrician out to give us a quote.  He told us we'd have to rip out a wall or have the switch under the sink.  Neither option seemed appealing, so we called Dave.  I'm so happy we did!

Professional and quality service for electrical needs. All at a price to fit our budget.
