Had the line with all the power wires leading to my house ripped off during a storm. Com Ed would not turn my power back on till I had an electrition repair the poll contecting to my house. After another company gave me the run around - I had to get someone there that day- Patrick was able to get two guys to my house two hours after calling him. They fixed the problem extremely fast and for half the price of the other company. Very reliable and reasonably prices!

Wally, the owner of upgrade electric is one of the rare, reputable, reliable and decent electricians out there. Okay, maybe I'm being too hard on the industry, but it's hard to find honest and reliable plumbers, electricians, & contractors, IMHO, and Wally and Upgrade Electric are definitely a rare good option. We've worked with them on two houses we've owned in the last 10 years and Wally has done work for my in-laws prior to that - and it's always been good work.

Could not be happier I used John. This weekend I played amateur electrician and made an amateur mistake - I cut a wire I shouldn't have, and I didn't take a picture before I started to see how things were in the first place. John was able to come out on short notice, he came when he said he would, and he worked very quickly without getting annoyed by my stupid questions. He was also able to fit in a couple other small things I'd been not doing for awhile, and my wife is now measurably happier. John is definitely getting the call again next time I need something electrical done.

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!

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.

So this is going to be a review that I've been wanting to do for a while now but with just moving into a new place and the holidays, it's been a bit crazy.
Guess what, finally got time to do this!
What can I say, I guess what isn't there to say about Alex and his crew at Swanson's Home Preservation? I had Alex and his team conduct a couple different projects for me.
The main one was for my Kitchen, to install a range hood, running a new duct for the range hood to outside, fixing up the ceiling in the kitchen and doing a completely new backsplash for the whole entire kitchen because the family and I thought what the old owners had was a bit oldschool and not of our taste.
For this first project Alex and his team did stuff that not many other contractors I worked with in the past would do. I reached out to another guy that came and he said he wouldn't be able to do it because it would be way too long of a project for him if the proper duct work wasn't already intact (like wtf really, what kind of contractor does that), Alex wasn't like that though. Alex, his uncle and the rest of team knew new duct work was going to have to be done otherwise the 1200cfm range hood I bought was going to be cut down in cfms big time. On top of that during the install there was a part of the roof/ceiling that took a lot of work for the duct to go through where they had to cut through it and it took time! For most people I guarantee they would of got mad, gave up or do a mediocre job. Not Alex and his team. They took time and at the end came out with a fantastic result. I have an awesome range hood and phenomenal backsplash in the kitchen now.
Lol it's almost done I promise I have to include this 2nd project.
The 2nd project I had Alex and his team do was install a projector, automated projector screen, run the cabling through my drop ceiling and run new electrical outlets for the projector and automated projector screen to have places to be plugged in. Again phenomenal job, the projector and projector screen looks amazing in my new Basement/Mancave. Everything works flawlessly, the cables are hidden/well managed (other than the power cord and hdmi coming out of the projector no way hiding that buddies) and overall just made me happy. During my New Years Eve Party/House warming party, people loved it!!!
I'll include pictures of the before of my Kitchen, after the new backsplash install/range hood and pictures of the sick setup Alex did of the projector and projector screen in my basement.
Oh yea also had Alex do some other really small projects like setup new electrical outlets outside where there wasn't any so my family could put up the Christmas lights.
What can't this man and his team do!!!!
10/5 all day!!! They're licensed, insured, highly reliable and have amazing prices. You won't be disappointed and I highly recommend giving Alex a shout for any future projects you need done.
Man Yelp, did you guys miss me? Lol guess I had to come back (again) with a bang and with a big review this time but definitely well deserved for Swanson's Home Preservation.
Keep it up Alex and Swanson's Home Preservation team!

We had a miserable situation where we lost power to the house. ComEd was repeatedly pushing us around. Bob and his guys came in, treated us with courtesy and respect and acted with the utmost professionalism. They all pushed to finalize the job despite all the obstacles created by our public utility company and made sure the work they did was the most cost efficient option. I look forward to working with him again.

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 hired Sebastian due to his quick response to my request and reasonable quote, which he was able to provide after seeing a photo of the job (to relocate pendant lights in our kitchen). He set up a service date right away and was kind and professional while he did the work. I would hire him again for any future electrical needs.

Great service. Ron went an extra mile to get the village permits, and get the tesla charger installation done. He is upfront with pricing, and great value for money with the service. The job was done neat, timely, and perfectly.

Electrician
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!
