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!

I've used Eddie at Electra-City 3 times now.  

The first time was to install a switch in my garage to control the garage door opener to get it up to code.  

The second time was to replace some switches with wi-fi switches that I bought for my home.  

The third time was to install two hard-wired ring security cameras to replace the existing lights in my backyard and balcony.  

Eddie was great all 3 times.  He's very knowledgeable, friendly, and charges a very fair price.  I would highly recommend him!

I like using local companies, they replaced the circuit box.  Adequate job, cost more than estimate due to adding another task (waterproofing, needed and glad they did it, that had been my problem), maybe they couldn't know.  BUT... BIG WARNING  They put all the circuits randomly, not where they had been before.  It took me a long time to map out which circuit was which room originally when I had a wife, now alone it will be a huge task, going up and down stairs countless times.  So if  you have a circuit box replaced, you may want to tell them to put the new circuits where the old ones were.  I did have them marked (he said not) though I had moved a few when the old one failed and that position was corroded so I had to put in the new breaker in a different location.  But I knew which ones I had moved, so didn't need the markings on those.

We recently moved into a condo in Chicago, and found ourselves with about a half dozen electrical projects. I called the head of our condo association and asked for a recommendation of who to call and he gave me the name of Arnold Electrical. John came out very soon after I called to inspect the condo and find out what we needed. He was very friendly and responsive, and said that if we had any questions about the work they could provide I could call him -- even on a holiday weekend. He was more than helpful. He was a true consultant. On the day of the work, Mike and Brady arrived on sand went right to work. Mike had other jobs to go to so left Brady to do the work. Brady was exceptionally friendly, enthusiastic, and consultantory in his approach, and  walked us through not just what he was going to do but why it needed to be done and how he was going to do it. Thanks, again, to John and Mike, and, especially Brady, who did the bulk of the work, for their professionalism and knowledge. Arnold Electric seems to hire only the best of electric professionals. I will use the company again.

I purchased a mirror from Wayfair and added on installation. No one  ever showed up. I was so upset and cancelled the installation with them. I reached out to Eligio, and he contacted me right away. Thankfully, he was able to come out the same day. He installed the mirror in such a short amount of time and was super professional. I highly recommend him!

Task was to install a NEMA 14-50 outlet for my new EV car.  Install was great.  Needed to go from fuse box in garage to other side of the garage.  They ran conduit up and over the garage door.  Very professional.  No complaints.

Excellent service. Excellent communication. They worked with my schedule instead of forcing me to work with theirs. Very friendly and accommodating. I would use them again

I recently had an emergency situation and was able to reach these guys. At the time I would have let anybody help me but I'm glad they answered. It turns out the problem was minor and they were honest enough to tell me that. I appreciate the honesty and great service.

Had a GFCI trip during the night for no apparent reason, nothing running at the time.
Called to request that it be checked out. Showed up within 20 minutes, did a thorough evaluation and very reassuring.
Will definitely add to my address book for future use.

Brian completed running electric to my recently finished attic. What a job!! Returned calls timely, price as quoted and so professional. Highly recommend!!!

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.
