Best Electricians in Illinois

Very happy with stephan i needed a emergency repair done he came out on sunday .priced right very professional .he is now my go to guy .

I was in search of someone to help with a EV charging setup in my garage. After a friend installed an outlet I wanted to have peace of mind in double checking. Daryl the owner and his brother came out for an estimate and ended up just taking the time to fix it right there on the spot. They were friendly, informative and took the time impromptu to make sure I had a solution right then and there. Everything has been working great since and I will highly recommend.

I recently had T&D Electrical come to my home to replace certain switches to dimmers and to repair my outdoor light.  The work that was performed by Rodrigo and Ryan was well-explained and efficient.  They were respectful of how turning off the power in my home would impact my ability to work at home.  They were also very respectful of my home and neighbors.  I highly recommend T&D Electrical for any work you need to have performed.

Excellent work, honest, punctual, and provides answers to questions for other projects. He works with his son and they both work very well together. We'll be back.

My wife and I are in the middle of a whole bunch of improvement projects right now while we remodel our 1923 house. After getting a few different estimates for electrical work, we ended up hiring Joe to re-do our service (updating an old 60amp fuse box from the 40s to 100amp service with a breaker), update our old ungrounded outlets, and install some fans and light fixtures. The price we got was great for the work he was going to do, and for the quality of the work that he did.

I have to say that of the multiple contractors we've dealt with for various projects over the past 6 months during our remodeling, so far Joe is the only one who, to put it simply, did what he said he was going to do, when he said he was going to do it, for how much he said it would be. No BS, no excuses, and quick to respond to questions we had. If all the contractors we've been working with for other projects were as good to us as Joe was, I'd have a few less gray hairs coming in. Next time we need electrical work done, we know who we'll be calling.

I reached out via Yelp on a Friday, and Chris came out on Saturday to take a look and provide an estimate (work across two units in our multi-family building). His prices were reasonable and we were able to get scheduled within a few days. He and his team did high quality work very efficiently. We'll definitely call him next time we need electrical help!

Quick reliable professional and reasonable I will recommend and use them in the future

Me-can you come over and give me an estimate on a easy open ceiling basement to update some old lights with new up-to-date lights,I'm less than 4miles from you:   Ryan,sure but it's $200 for a diagnostic fee!  Omg!! This guys a jabroni,is that how you make money instead of actually doing the job

I've used Highlights Chicago twice: once for the condominium building and once for my own unit. The people with whom I booked the appointment were amiable. Both times, they had an electrician available the day of my call (Elvir), he was knowledgeable and professional, and the price was reasonable. It was easy to pay over the phone, and the company was quick with electronic communications (receipts, etc.).

Steer Clear. This is not a legitimate electrical company. Gave me an estimate and did the electrical work for an EV charger in our condo building. Even though building management didn't request City of Chicago license initially, they checked for it later (it can be asked for at any time) and this company is not licensed in the City of Chicago and its illegal to do residential work without it. The job was done completely wrong and he almost blew the sump pump and electrical to entire building by connecting to a panel inexplicably and was told not to. Installed wiring that was bent and broken and taped together which could have caused shocks and burning. New contractor easily installed it - no bends or breaks. The wall outlet installed was open and exposed, and if water dripped to it could electrocute people. Sloppy, cut corners, dangerous, illegal and not up to code. Absolute garbage, rushed work. Refused to get City of Chicago license and come fix job. We will be pursuing our money back. This is an illegitimate electrical company. Avoid at all costs.

Addendum to review:

Right, I'm not an electrician , but here are couple facts that a real electrician should have known and done, that found out about your job.

You were told by the building engineer to use the 480/277 volt panel because 208/120 was already at the capacity.

You just plainly ignored that and proceeded with your version. Maybe you don't know the difference between two.

You ran 208/ 120 wires through 480/277 panel which was a huge code violation and a human life safety issue.

And that's not all:

Then you spliced those wires inside that panel multiple times -- code violation.

You then decided to use lightning contractor conduit to run the wires and overfill that conduit -- code violation.

You installed the breaker at the wrong panel (which was at capacity) so you overloaded that panel.

The wire was badly scraped

You removed pipe straps and made the electrical conduit loose -- code violation.

J boxes that you installed were unsecured and loose with knock outs missing -- code violation

I'm still waiting on the city of Chicago electrical registration paperwork  from you.

A qualified electrician would know right away that he is working with 480/277 volts and would have informed me that i needed a step down transformer in order for the EV charger to work!

On top things you have charged me over $2K for 2 J boxes and a roll of #6 wire, which costs $600 at the most. The piping was already 97% there , so what took you so long.

It took a qualified electrician a total of 8 hours to remove the faulty work and install everything from scratch including installing the transformer.

We'll happily accept a refund to settle this matter

They did an awesome job with a painting project at my townhouse! The painting looks great, and they were very reliable and pleasant to work with! There was clear communication throughout the process, and the job was finished very efficiently and professionally. I would highly recommend and hire again in the future!

Needed a Tesla wall charger installed in our garage.  Jake showed up on time and offered a few different options with full explanation of each.

Once we agreed on scope and price he went to work.  You could tell he has installed a ton of these.   Job was completed in a timely manner and he left the area cleaner than when he started.  

Charger has been used daily for a few months now without issue.  Would recommend.

Blacklite Electric is awesome! We have called on Neville and his experienced team to install our cieling fan, hang a drop light and fix the electric wiring in our living room. Each time, we have received great service at a fantastic price! Plus, the team is especially friendly - which is always a plus! My husband and I cannot provide enough kudos to Blacklite!

The latest heavy snowfall ripped the utility pole off the side of my house, along with live power lines.  Yikes.  After ComEd refused to do anything and the Fire Department cordoned off the area with yellow hazard tape, I had to find an electrician on an emergency basis who was able to put it all back together without anyone getting electrocuted.  I soon found out that not every electrician works with live power lines.  But then I called Kinetic Energy.  They didn't blink.  They sent over a team immediately.  The men worked for hours in the bitter cold without complaint and did a great job.  We are very grateful to them and strongly recommend them!

Could not recommend a better electrician!

I had a desire to install ceiling recessed lights and ceiling fans in a few rooms for some time. After doing some research on Yelp, I found Tom and gave him a call. We were able to set up a in-person consultation soon after, where he walked me through the options for recessed LED lights (4in vs 6in) and spacing of said lights. We agreed on an overall plan and start date.

During the project, Tom and his men were timely, clean, and very efficient in their work. They carefully calculated and marked out the placement of the lights and fan on the ceiling in each room for my approval before starting to cut into the drywall. In the end, they had to cut into a surprisingly small amount of the drywall to put everything together. In the two places in each room that they did have to open up the wall, they carefully replaced the drywall, saving me from having to make any large patches before repainting.

I wanted to use a particular smart dimming switch (Brilliant), but it was backordered and did not arrive in time. Tom hooked up everything using temporary switches and came back later to finish the job once they arrived.

Overall, I would definitely use Tom and his men again! I have a couple other projects around the house I've been thinking of (electric car charger, exterior light, replacing track lighting with more recessed lights, etc.) and plan to use Tom for these projects in the future!

Frank is very professional.  Showed up when he said he would, explained what he was doing, and even provided a lower price than what he first quoted.  I will definitely call him again for any electrical job.  Highly recommend!

Pros: responsive, punctual, honest, respectful of my home, fair pricing
Cons: none found
Alex did a great job replacing a broken switch. He responded quickly to my initial request and was fast in communicating throughout the scheduling process. We are very happy with the quality of work.
We'll likely have to have most of our old wiring replaced and are looking forward to have Alex and his team back. Seems to be a newer company, and I'm glad we took a chance on them.

I really appreciate Fixer.com service.

I've had minor repair work that I've noticed living in my home for the past 10 years.. Whenever I'd get the enthusiasm to reach out to any other company on Yelp to request a quote, I'd be met with: That project is too small of a job, so we're not coming out for just that.  

I'm glad that I got the whim to check yelp again recently and came upon Fixer.com.  They charge hourly, so they don't really care if a job is too little.  You just start out by going on the website, creating an account, and then selecting a date/time (it can be the same day even), and then Jayme will respond right away to confirm the appointment.

I had a crumbling wall amongst many other issues in my home.  Jayme coordinated for Chang and Katie out to my home today and they did a fantastic job of tackling the problems I had requested to be addressed.  They were both very knowledgeable about what they were doing and they did a great job explaining things to me.  And I feel like they both had strong integrity, as they would state that they were stopping the clock whenever appropriate so that I wouldn't be charged for any moments where they weren't working.

I really appreciate that a service such as this exists for people who are not confident in repairing small jobs on their own.  I'm excited to continue to work with Fixer.com on other projects that I had been thinking about over the past 10 years.  I fully believe in them and have the utmost confidence in Katie, Chang, Jayme and the whole team.
