Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

Mr Paxson was very professional. He arrived on time, provided a written estimate via email, followed his estimate, was polite, cleaned up his mess... fantastic experience!

My wife and I decided to buy an electric cooking range, not knowing that I have to have a 240v outlet.
I looked around Yelp to search for help, and found Eddie, Electra City, with the highest/best review.
After talking to him, asking for an estimate, and seeing in person his work and service, I understand why he has such a good review.

Basically, Eddies is no BS, all work, and good price.
I'm glad I contacted him, and would call him in a heartbeat if I ever need any electrical-related help.

Eddie installed new switches in my breaker-box, installed new electrical line from the box to the kitchen for the new cooking range (and a separate one for special microwave).  It seemed like a lot of work, but he got it done in roughly 7hrs (his estimate was 6 to 7hrs, so he was right on target!)

I'd recommend Electra City to anyone.

Killer service. They show up and knock the job out. No bs or messes. I highly recommend. Work is code and not some handyman hack job like I might do for myself! Competitively priced and an asset to the community.

Back when I was young & brave, I'd do my own electrical work (while holding the B&D book in one hand). Since then, I've wanted a professional job done ... as it would be visible to prospective home buyers some day in the future.

I've hired Arnold Electric twice now to add outlets to our basement. Both times, they started with a check-up of all the service points in our house. Both times the electrician was professional, arrived on time, and did top-notch work! And both times I was happy with the results.

If I ever need an electrician again (perhaps to install a car charger in my garage), then Arnold Electric will be my first choice.

My dining room light went out suddenly and I needed to have a flood light replaced. This happened on a Saturday, Eligio returned my inquiry that same day and came out on a Sunday afternoon. Great young man. Fast, courteous and reasonable. He far exceeded my expectation. I already have him lined up to do other projects around my home!!! I truly appreciate him coming out and getting the work done. Quality!

We initially hired for a 200 amp panel upgrade and a fraying service cable repair. The quote was very thorough and informative (and very reasonable). Their work is excellent and we received our permit sign off without much issue at all.

We were impressed enough to have Gadertech back to install an outlet for some cabinet lighting and to upgrade our laundry room lighting. Again, very responsive, thorough and professional. Would highly recommend Gadertech for any project big or small.

This is the company to call!   We had a problem with some outlets that two family electricians and a reputable handyman could not find or fix. We called Olson on Monday morning, and from that first call to Steve I was obvious that  he fully understood the issue and had experience with correcting it.  He gave us a time estimate for later that same day, and exceeded even that.  

I called at 9, the technician arrived at 1:30, and by 2:30 the problem was solved.

When Paul arrived, he was very polite and professional. The company had discussed what was necessary, so he arrived with knowledge of what was required, and got right to work.  

I cannot stress enough the high degree of competence, and professionalism, displayed by everyone at Olson, and the price was very fair.  

Save yourself the worry and hassle and just call Olson.

Fast and courteous service!  I've had a couple of calls out for electrical service in my unit after a serious roof leak.  I've  been impressed with the level of service and diligence at finding the root cause of the electrical issues.

Affordable prices and professional work. 5 star electrical company! I will definitely use them again.

We hired Brian to complete a punch list of electrical items. The written contract that was agreed upon was for around $3800. The work was supposed to be completed around October 15th per the contract.  It didn't get done til February 12th.  That's FOUR months late.

Now let's talk about money. The final bill ended up being $13,500.00. That's not a typo. Thirteen thousand five hundred dollars. We were shocked when we received the bill. We asked him what happened to the contract. He said there were other issues that had to be corrected and the contract says any other issues are billed at $90/ hour. Fair enough, but the first time he told us about the other issues is when the final invoice was rendered. We never even had a chance to authorize or approve these additional issues to be corrected.

This guy pretty much ripped a page out of our checkbook and wrote himself a blank check. DO NOT let this happen to you. Never sign an open ended contract with this contractor or any other contractor, otherwise, you will be the one to get shocked at the end.

If a zero was possible, that is what I would give this contractor.  I hired him to install under cabinet lights.  He came out with an obviously untrained apprentice who did all of the work while he sat and barked out orders -- screaming at him much of the time.  At one point the apprentice was lost and did not know what to do.  Rather than helping him, he responded -- figure it out idiot and sat there staring at him.  Eventually, I started helping the apprentice myself.  He then billed me over a $1000.  Shortly after I received the bill, he called demanding payment.  I explained that I felt I was overbilled.  But, I agreed to pay him $700 that night if he would consider it payment in full.  He agreed, but has continued sending me invoices for allegedly past due amounts and has even filed a mechanics lien on my house.  Do not use this bully.

Dino was great to work with!! We needed a lot of work done at our church. Outside lights, ceiling fans, install a light in a closet and replace fluorescent lights with LED. His work was top notch. He even was nice enough to pick up the ceiling fans I ordered from Home Depot. I would not trust anyone else to do my electrical work.

I hired Advanced Area Serv Corp to do the complete wiring for my 900 Sq Ft Master Bedroom Suite Addition. They were totally awesome! They accommodated my schedule and arrived on time. They completed the work on time and diligently cleaned behind themselves. I was impressed with their professionalism and would highly recommend them to all my family and friends

Kinslow Smith-----great for all your electrical needs!  Ed is WONDERFUL!  Today was an outstanding, productive day all around  from start to finish------ without a minute wasted.  I am still beaming (no pun intended) as I look around my apartment at all the work they did for me today.  

First, I received a reminder email from Ed the night before, alerting me of the time that they were going to start.  The next day, Ed and his helper arrived early---yes, early!--- and ready to go to work on my list of 21 miscellaneous and sundry electrical/lighting jobs.  Unlike many electricians that baulk at certain jobs, Ed seemed actually to enjoy the challenge and the diversity of the projects.  He stopped at nothing to get each and every job done, working straight through until all the work was completed.

He is extremely knowledgeable and patient and will explain what he is doing before he does it (if you want to hear it, as I did).  Whatever I was missing in the way of parts to complete a task, he had in his truck.  You can tell that he really loves what he does and takes great pride in his work...no matter how small the job is.  His helper exhibited the same work ethic and was delightful to have around.  They completely cleaned up after themselves and left the apartment just as it was when they arrived.  

Aside from the phenomenal electrical work done, what stands out most for me is the integrity of this man.  After you meet him and watch him work for just a short time, you know that you are dealing with a good, honest, hardworking individual.  I actually had fun today and told them that I never knew that something like electrical work could make me so happy! :)  
This whole experience was a complete and absolute pleasure.
