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!

Eddie (the owner) of Electra - City answered my call for a quote to install a ceiling fan/light/remote combo quickly and gave a firm quote.
By luck he had an opening and he was able to do the work the next day.  

Eddie (the owner) was very professional, knowledgeable, efficient and verified every step in the process. He was meticulous in his measurement and did not leave a mess.

Overall the work was beyond 5 stars.  Electra - City was very reasonably priced especially compared to 2 other quotes I received over the phone.

I will use Electra - City  again when I have any electrical needs.

I would highly recommend Electra - City and Eddie! 5+++++ stars

Here's the tasks needed to install a ceiling fan/light/remote combo without electric in the ceiling:

Install electric box in attic for ceiling fan in spare bedroom
Make ceiling electric box live for the new ceiling fan
Created hole in bedroom ceiling for fan to attach to electric box
Routed wires to bedroom wall switch from attic
Changed bedroom wall switch to control ceiling fan
Assembled ceiling fan with remote control and led lights
Installed ceiling fan in bedroom
Placed ceiling fan remote control holder next to light switch
Verified and explained all ceiling fan/light/remote  combo functions

After he completed the ceiling fan installation, I asked about some additional tasks that I needed done.  Eddie knocked those out in no time with a slight extra charge.

Additional tasks:
Raised dining room light 4 feet in a 20 ft lofted ceiling

Replaced a basement smoke detector (they only last 8-10 years)

Changed battery in smoke detector in a 20 ft lofted ceiling in bedroom

You can't beat Electra - City for great prices, work efficiency and perfection.

Tom came out to do a an estimate on  a new house for me.  Amazingly this was no charge and he presented me with a few different options. After deciding on what work wanted done He was able to come out with a couple other guys about a week later. They did a great job.  The previous owners of the new house were apparently do it yourselfers and there wasn't much in the additions that was code.Norb & Son's fixed it the right way.  It's been about month now and everything is still working great and even looks safer.

I've used this company twice now and Derek was our technician. Once for a pretty major job where they replaced our ancient electric panel and updated closet lighting and some switched and outlets so they were up to code. Another time he came out to update an exterior outlet and outlets in the basement. Both times Derek was prompt in his arrival and very efficient with getting the job done. I think I've found my go-to company for everything electric and would highly recommend them to family, friends, and others.

Eligio did a really great job installing our water filtration system that involved reconfiguring sink plumbing and drilling a hole through the granite countertop. Everything works great and looks great as well!

I hired Gadartech Electric for installation of a doorbell button.  I was very impressed with their communication and timeliness.  Aj called me twice while at the store checking for supplies.  We had a small miscommunication which was my fault, but was cleared up instantly.  The appointment time was 10:00 a.m. and AJ was at the location at 9:30 a.m.  He replaced the doorbell button in a pretty timely manner.  Very professional and wore his mask the entire time for safety concerns.  I would definitely recommend to family and friends for electrician services.

GREAT COMPANY TO WORK WITH!!  Provided me with a piece of mind when preparing our 100 year old home ready for closing sale.   Great communication on the service provided and proposed service.  Pricing very competitive.

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.

Perfect! Had some kitchen lighting installed. Aspire was prompt, creative and knew exactly how to complete my project. After they left, there was no evidence that work had been done - other than the lighting! No mess, no cleanup for me. Highly recommended.

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

STAY FAR AWAY from this business.  They are offering deals on Groupon and Amazon Local and not even responding to calls for quotes, etc...  They  will offer you an appointment over a month away and then simply not show up.  It is excuse after excuse from this company and their secretary is completely incompetent!!!!!!!  They don't even deserve a star.  They should not be allowed to operate a business in the State of Illinois or any other state for that matter and if enough people file complaints hopefully they won't!!!!!!!
