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.

After 3 tries, we finally found a great electrician who is honest and tells it like it is. Will use no other after discovering this gem of a company.

John does very good work, very knowledgable in retro fitting for old buildings. I have used him 2 times now once for a bathroom fan install and lighting for medicine cabinet. 2nd time for adding switches to my closet lights. Both times perfect jobs and his work and work area are very tidy.

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!

I've used BUE in the past, since they did such an amazing job first the first time using them, I decided to use them for my next re-model and this time it was for a heated floor system. Sammy was the technician that installed the   wiring, he made sure the heated system was working correctly and worked along side my contractor to make sure all the heated components, sensors and thermostat were all in working order before my contractor got the go ahead to finish the floors. I also had 6in can lighting w/a dimmer switch installed in my bedroom. Sammy suggested that it would be much brighter than the 4in I was going to use. He measured the room, removed some dry wall,installed the lights in less than hour. After that was done he attached the drywall back to be repaired.
Prices are exceptionally reasonable! Thank you BUE electric for another job well done!

Great reliable service. We had recently sold our home and needed some work done to the wiring in the garage and the electrical outlets in the kitchen needed to be replaced. Luis came out and gave me a estimate and the job was done the next day. Very pleased with their workmanship and knowledge. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing electrical work done.

We utilized Alex and Loren for our large basement finishing project and couldn't be happier. We had approx 1,000 sq feet of unfinished basement space and needed framing, plumbing (added a new bathroom with shower), electrical, hvac, doors hung, and drywall with finishing. He showed up on time every day and maintained excellent communication throughout our project duration. He was friendly, professional, and courteous. It seems he is a perfectionist by nature, always looking at the little details. He cleaned up after himself and was very cooperative on last minute job requests. I would HIGHLY recommend Swanson's Home Preservation for all your building needs. You won't regret it.

I've used Bob and his guys for the last 2 years of my ongoing home renovation. They are professional, knowledgeable, trustworthy and the service level is great. I chose them because my previous electrician was failing to get back to me and I have not looked back.

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've used Corb twice now, once to connect my hard-wired pool heater/heat pump (which required upgrading from a 30 amp to 60 amp circuit) and once to fix a problem with all my appliances being on the same circuit and overloading the circuit. I was very satisfied with both jobs and felt they were at a reasonable price. They also arrived when they said they would, which seems to be rare these days. Would highly recommend.

I called Sebastian on Saturday and he responded immediately and today, Monday he installed our ceiling fan. Excellent service, excellent price, he showed up on time, was extremely professional, very personable.  He did an excellent job and I would not hesitate to hire him again.

Fast response, very reasonable pricing, and same day service!
Did a great job installing our new chandelier, took the time to test it and cleaned up the area.

His quote was exactly as he also promised

He scheduled a 1 hour appointment window with me and never showed up or called.  Utterly ridiculous.

Agree with previous reviewer.they tend to not return when you call.just sad....hear they are not even in the area anymore..........issssssh
