Best Electricians in Illinois

Stefan was at my house less than 30 minutes after I contacted him, and had the whole issue figured out and fixed in under an hour. Highly recommended!

Encountered an electrical issue while doing some simple DIY projects. Call Sims and Sons without much research given their strong reviews on Yelp. Was extremely happy to find that their service lived up to all the 5 star reviews.

From a service perspective, Derrell was quick to respond and schedule a visit, he showed up on time and completed the work quickly but thoroughly.  He was happy to explain all the issues and how to fix so I can handle the problem in the future. I also brought up an additional issue without an outdoor outlet unrelated to why I had him come out. He was kind enough to carve out an extra hour to get the part he needed and fix the issue so I did not have to pay an extra service fee.

Normally I would not leave a 5 star review for such an easy fix. However, I could tell just how much he cares about the quality of his (and his team's) work. This might sound corny but Derrell lives in the area, he is proud to be local and that attitude is reflected in the quality of his work. He also is not an old-school electrician. He does work in commercial buildings including new restaurants that demand an electrician that knows how to craft lighting in a stylish manner to improve ambiance. This is purely from conversation but he is a one-stop call for both electrical issues and lighting design projects.

If you live on the North side and need an electrician you would be foolish not to start with Sims and Sons, I know I will be using them for any electrical issues or projects in the future!

I had reached out on a neighborhood Facebook page looking for a recommendation and so glad I did! This company was so prompt and efficient with their work.  Marianne truly delivers exceptional customer service in the office. Her friendliness is a breath of fresh air when it comes to getting work done. They are very knowledgeable about pulling permits in the city and making sure work is up to code.  My only regret is we didn't know about them sooner! Fantastic local company!

I called on a Monday and left a message for Ted, 48 hours later I have yet to get a text or a callback.

Joe is fantastic!  Joe did all this at our 80 year old house:
- replaced old ceiling fan with new ceiling fan/light fixture
- removed old track lighting and replaced with pendant lights
- installed chandelier
- installed can light and overhead light in kitchen
- replaced/repaired switches

Joe knows what he is doing and offered suggestions to improve our lighting ideas.  He dealt with the quirky wiring in our old house.  He was very responsive and worked quickly and cleanly.  Joe's prices are fair and reasonable.

I highly recommend Joe and will call him again if we have future electrical needs.

Christian was responsive and professional. He fixed the issue quickly and within 24 hours of requesting the quote on Yelp.

I can't praise this company highly enough! We'd been struggling with a temperamental home-lighting system--in addition to one overloaded socket  from an installation carried out before we moved into the apartment. Thanks to Greenline Electric, perplexing lights are now beaming again, and funky wall fixtures have been normalized! Esteban carried out very complicated work with true expertise, great efficiency, and great friendliness. All very illuminating (!); great!

Ryan was great to work with. He was on time and very transparent on what he was doing and what the cost would be. Furthermore he had me inspect the work afterwards to make sure I was satisfied. I will definitely be working with Ryan again in the future.

These guys are incredible - great service, value, and unlike many contractors they take the time to really explain what they are doing, and why it is important. My partner and I recently purchased a 100 year old Chicago 2-flat that we thought needed a bit of work but, as it turns out, is one of those buildings where the previous owners thought they knew best and made slapdash DIY repairs/upgrades that are at best mediocre and at worst extremely dangerous. The Highlights team has already helped us bring the electric in the two flats up to code, disconnected the bonkers wiring in the basement in preparation for a demo and rebuild, and, when we realized the 8 ceiling fans throughout the building were disconnecting from the ceiling and hazardous to operate, came in and serviced and anchored all of the fans (apparently the previous owners had cut holes in the ceiling, connected the wiring, and called it a day). Then, when our demo team accidentally cut the power to our boiler furnace in January cold, they were able to get people out to us the day we called,  earlier than their estimated time by 40 minutes, and the heat back up immediately. Sometimes they are a bit slow to respond, so follow up is important, especially right now when COVID is running rampant and making people call out sick and isolate, but these guys are worth waiting for, and they will come through in a crunch. As we continue to repair and renovate our home, we will continue to call on these guys, and I will be recommending them to anyone in their service area. Thank you, Baz and team!

Great job all the way around!!! Excellent work, fantastic attention to detail. Am definitely going to hire again.

A great experience!

Jose from Tweaks & Finishes was very quick to reply to communications and then to submit his bid.

He priced the job very competitively, scheduled it for later that day, arrived a few minutes early.

He unpacked and installed the fixture correctly, carefully, and even requested my confirmation of approval (placement, pendant light height, etc.) at each step.

He worked cleanly, fast, was 100% competent, and very friendly the whole time.

No surprises or disappointments.

Really an exceptional experience.

Jake came by to install our ventilation fan and a new bathroom vanity. He was super friendly, quick, and reasonably priced. Highly recommend!

My first Yelp review ever.  I am very compelled to write this.

On a Saturday morning, I heard a pop sound and my kitchen track lights, island pendant, bathroom and bedroom lights all went out.  Tried turning the fuse on/off and that didn't  work.  I found Blacklite on Yelp and b/c of the great reviews, I called and left a message.  He (not sure who I communicated with Neville or another person) promptly sent me a text, like within seconds.  We exchanged a few more text messages, where he troubledshooted and solved my problem.  We never even spoke!   Lights came back on, he never came out to my condo, didn't charge me a dime.  In this day, when sadly we are prepared to be scammed, Blacklite is AMAZING.  He could have easily come out and billed me a higher weekend rate, but did not.  What honesty and integrity.  I will reccommend and use Blacklite for all future electrical needs.

We had an electrical issue come up and Kinetic Energy responded immediately. We were under a time constraint and Tracy called back and was able to schedule an electrician the next day. Carlos was able to find the problem and solve it immediately. Both Tracy and Carlos are true professionals. It is so hard to have someone call you back let alone do a great job. kinetic energy did both. They will be our go-to from here on out.

Tom and his crew do such great work! Highly recommend them. They installed 4 outdoor outlets in our yard and also trenched wires underground so they were no longer exposed to the elements. They were on time, flexible, and just care about doing the job right. Tom is a really nice guy who walks you through all the work ahead of time. Don't hesitate to reach out to him!

Wonderful communication and service from Frank and his father. We couldn't be happier with the installation of our lights, switches, and other necessary repairs. Would highly recommend them for your future home needs.

Alex responded to my posting quickly, was clear on costs, and came out at 8am the following day as promised. I gave wrong information on parts and he was ready with solutions to salvage the job and gave great advice. Would definitely hire again.

I had a leak from my humidifier. They worked quickly and the price was great. Fixed good as new.
