Best Electricians in Illinois

We were looking to replace outside wiring for our backyard lights. Stefan was very responsive via the Yelp website and over the phone. We had been in contact on a Tuesday, and he was able to come that following Saturday (he was available to come sooner, but Saturday worked better for my schedule). He was able to provide an estimate over the phone after I sent him a couple photos explaining what would need to be done. Very knowledgeable and thorough. We had decided on a 10AM start time, and he actually arrived a few minutes earlier! He arrived wearing a mask, which is much appreciated during this time. He was very communicative and professional the whole time. Our setup is very old and had never been serviced, therefore hadn't been working for a number of years. Stefan was able to install/update new wiring and lights and everything works perfectly! He also followed-up a few days later to make sure everything was working ok, which again is much appreciated! Would definitely recommend him and will call him for any future projects!

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!

Return calls the same day, prompt arrival, & timely turnaround. My washer kept blowing a fuse & a timer for stairwell was out. Electrician was thorough in explaining the issues he found & got done in an hour. I had to run out to hardware store (3 blocks away) to buy a new timer but that didn't add to time as he coordinated both projects well. Will definitely be calling them in the future for a rewiring project I've been considering.

Ted did a wonderful job installing my new ceiling fan.  I had purchased it on Amazon and had a HORRIBLE experience with the person they sent to install it. After that fell through, I reached out to Ted.

Ted arrived right on time and got to work right away. He finished the install sooner than expected and was very professional the whole time he was here. Very knowledgable and efficient in his work.

I'll definitely use his services if I need any more electrical work, and would strongly recommend  you do as well.

Joe responded quickly, arrived on time, and did a fantastic job. Not only did he fix the problem that I called him for, he also discovered and fixed another problem in an upstream fixture. A diligent professional at a very fair price: you can't ask for more than that!

So I just purchased a new home and having some circuit breaker issues. Found Chris on Yelp very nice guy. Very responsive. Came right out, Fix the issue under 15 minutes so I will definitely be calling him back out to finish the work, Definitely give Chris a call or give him a chance if you are having any type of issues with circuit breakers or electrical issues definitely recommend this business. Thanks, Chris

Esteban came out on a weekend, and was quick, fair and thorough.
Edward replied quickly and was completely honest with what needed to be done then, and what would need further review.

A++

Thorough Professional.

We came to Ryan with a maddening intermittent problem: electricity in parts of a house would turn itself off and then turn itself back on, some highly variable amount of time later.  Some times, hours later.  With this happening more than once a day, the house was basically unlivable.

Ryan was able to quickly track down the problem and, even though it was close to the end of a normal business day, he worked well past that to procure the replacement part and install it that same day.

It's been a week with no further incident, so I'm convinced he found the root cause, and I'm as happy as I can be.

I highly recommend Boz and Highlights Chicago for any challenging custom electrical installation projects that might be on your horizon! Professional, efficient, adaptable & knowledgeable are words that come to mind when describing the electricians of Highlights Chicago! After receiving several quotes for the replacement of two light fixtures, one that hung 20 ft. up in the foyer and the other that hung 17 ft. up in the primary bedroom, I chose Highlights Chicago for the job based in large part on their strong recommendations and was not at all disappointed. Boz came through with his dream team of Raul, Gustavo & Christian. Original plan - use a 20' ladder for the foyer install but at 7:15 am this past Wednesday morning, the ladder quickly proved too large for the narrow foyer space. Undaunted, the crew came back the same morning and at 9:45 am, set about quickly building a 20' scaffold in the space to remove an old, wrought iron fixture that had come with the house and installing an antique store find in its place. Watching the progress, I was impressed with the speed, knowledge & teamwork that the three electricians displayed. Also, maneuvering 20 ft. up on the somewhat precarious scaffold was no easy feat, but the crew made it look effortless. Once the foyer job was finished, the scaffold was dismantled and brought up to the 2nd floor primary bedroom in order to remove an old ceiling fan that hung 17 ft. above. Down came the ceiling fan & up went the new chandelier and its numerous crystals that the team put together & hung while 12 ft. in the air. Both installs were finished by 1:45 pm, and the crew left the home spotless. Well done! I will definitely use Highlights Chicago for future rehab projects in both my real estate & interior design businesses! Thank you Highlights Chicago!

Rogelio did a good job on our building. Repaired some outlets, in the apartment, garage, and outside of the building. He shared photos of his progress. We talk over the phone to clarify details and got a quote on the spot for additional work that was necessary and was finished the same day after getting the parts needed.
He is also bilingual, what helps communicating easier for a larger population group.
All good overall.

Jose and Rodney were amazing! I had them paint all the common areas in my new condo and it looks fantastic! They were both very nice and incredibly professional, getting to work right away. They'd given me an initial estimate that was a very fair price and that was exactly what I paid on the day. Really zero complaints and I will definitely be contacting them if I need anything in the future.

Highly recommend Jake and his team for electrical projects large and small. Early on during COVID he installed a new outlet so we could relocate a desk and while there provided some options for adding light to our dimly lit basement. We finally contacted him for the basement work and he responded right away and was able to come within a few days. The basement looks fantastic and Jake went out of his way making multiple trips to stores looking for hard to find parts. Fair prices and high quality work!

I found Blacklite Electric on Yelp while looking for an electrician to help install dimmers in a new condo in the West Loop. Called and spoke with Neville who gave me an estimate and came promptly the next day. Very friendly and professional - would highly recommend them.

For those of you not in the West Loop or a neighboring borough, he mentioned that he would go city north for residential work.

Big shout-out for Ivan and David from Kinetic Energy, who recently came out to install a new light fixture in the bedroom and a new outlet in the basement. I am always impressed with the high level of service from all of the electricians at Kinetic, but was especially amazed when I saw how carefully Ivan and David had protected the bedroom from any dust from the installation - they covered the bed and rug with lots of plastic sheeting and wore booties inside the house. Both were installed perfectly! Thanks again...

A++ in all aspects. I had great pleasure to hire Tom's company for our house project. The project included multiple rooms. Complete Bath and kitchen electrical renovation. Two bathrooms received outlets, switches, can lights and fans. The kitchen received  new can lights and outlets. Living room got new can lights. We also added wired smoke detectors throughout the house. Tom was a total professional when he came in for the estimate. Everything was explained so that there were no surprises any time during the project and he made sure that we understood the work that was going to take place. Prices were very competitive, and work was done in the time promised. Tom made sure that everything was done right, to code and left everything clean and spotless. I would definitely hire again. Highly recommended.

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.

Chang was communicative, prompt, and informative. He walked me through my project and gave really honest advice. Fixer is a modern company that truly understands customer service.
