Best Electricians in Illinois

Stop looking. Hire Stefan.
You won't be disappointed.
I put out my project for several quotes through Yelp, and I got a mixed bag of responses. Stefan was the ONLY contractor who didn't jerk me around.
When he came out to discuss the job, he had a plan, a schedule and I was very comfortable with his approach. Hired him on the spot... cancelled other contractor visits.
The work he did was top notch. He used proper materials, and even stayed late to get the job done. No shortcuts.
Cleaned up after himself even though it was a long day.
Can't say enough good things. Just call this guy.
Look at his other reviews and pics if you don't believe me.

I love smart devices.  I installed (myself) a three-way switch and screwed it up......despite my best efforts I could not figure out how I screwed it up.... I called Sims and Sons and Anel and Darryl came out and fixed it in no time!  They didn't even give me grief!  They were great.  I'd use them again without a second thought!

Super nice and professional. I live an an older condo building, and my unit had an old fuse panel (with actual fuses). Marcus was very prompt on all his visits, and made sure I understood exactly what they were going to be doing. They never once lost patience with all the hoops I had to jump through with my condo management office. The work was competed on time, and they respected the construction time in my building. The workers were very polite, and all of the work looks amazing. I highly recommend

Great service! The price was reasonable and he did a great job. We felt very comfortable with him and felt he is trustworthy. We will definitely hire him in the future.

Joe installed new indoor and outdoor power sources in our home. The price was right, he was punctual, focused and completed the job swiftly. We would recommend his services for your electricity needs.

First of all, I rarely write reviews but I was so impressed I felt the need to write this one.  I needed a light switch replaced in my kitchen.  Chris responded quickly with a very fair estimate yesterday and was able to schedule an appointment for today.  Chris is professional, courteous, efficient and very reasonable with his charges.  I have already discussed having him replace some light fixtures in my house.  I highly recommend ALC Electric!

A+ experience. Responsive, communicative, prompt, and straightforward. Explained things clearly to me and got the job done exactly how I wanted. Very fair pricing as well. Looking forward to working with Edward again for all my electrical needs.

Ryan is professional, kind and a knowledgeable electrician. He is fast to respond and is often able to come the same day. I highly recommend him- he is our go-to electrician.

Highlights Chicago is wonderful. From scheduling & initial plan thru end result the team did an amazing job.
Jimmy, Kaplan and Chris followed all COVID requirements (masks, social distancing,etc.) They were so knowledgeable, thorough & polite and you could tell they enjoy working together.
I am definitely going to hire them again for future electrical work.

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

I reached out for some quotes on replacing an outdoor outlet on Sunday- not only was Jose super responsive, he got me scheduled for the next day! He quoted me a price that he stuck to. He and his partner Rodney are friendly, courteous, conscientious and got the job done in under 30 minutes. They were respectful of my time which I appreciate. I'm happy to have this company in my phone for any future jobs. Highly recommend!!

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!

Several observations:

While Neville's employee, Johnny, is usually a pleasant and bright worker, when I pointed out that the light on the fan he installed was not attached properly on one side and was hanging down a bit, he gave me a challenging sort of look. i didn't react to the look, and later saw that he had corrected it without comment, so thanked him. But he was silent on the subject from start to finish and I got the feeling Johnny likes to think of himself a benefactor and not simply an electrician capable of human error.

Neville had the same attitude. He put in, without asking, slider controls for two overhead living room fans, which I have been told by previous electricians can cause a hum. No big deal but we had a loud hum in each fan so I asked for the sliders to be removed. Johnny took them out and the hum was significantly reduced, but again he was pretty much silent throughout. Any further discussion of the remaining hum was greeted coldly.

When my daughter went directly to Neville to try to discuss the fans a bit more, (texting him of course), he answered crisply, 'Your fans are under warranty, go to the company if you want the hum gone.' She didn't say it, but actually, no, Neville, they are no longer under warranty as your actions in putting in sliders violated the warranty and left us with no warranty.

We did call them again a few months later, but after Neville took our text and promised to call back he never did. So now we have no option to use them anyway because they fired us.

Best around. Ted is super helpful and Carlos did a great job on my project. Very helpful, explained everything and overall I couldn't be happier. Will definitely use in the future and highly recommended.

TOM Electric Services is an excellent company for electrical repairs. The electricians are extremely knowledgeable and experienced. They provide great customer service and have always been able to answer questions, solve problems, and other issues with my electrical system. I highly recommend them!

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!

Very responsive and responsible. Alex tried to help us trouble shoot over the phone to save us money. When that didn't work he showed up promptly, diagnosed the issue, and fixed the bad breaker.

Best pricing around and great young guy working hard for his business. Highly recommended.

This is my 3rd time giving Fixer a try. I haven't been overly impressed before- but generally they are responsive and fast, so I decided to give them a try again. I own a salon in Lincoln Park, and I needed some lightbulbs and track light heads replaced. The ceilings are quite high, otherwise I would DIY- but I don't have a ladder that tall. So I requested Fixer to come.
After they arrived (they sent 2 people) I was given a quote of 2.5-4 hours. Well, lucky me- they actually finished in 1.5 hours! (Approximately 40 minutes of that was shopping at the Home Depot 2 blocks away). Imagine my shock when I received the bill, and was billed for 3.5 hours of labor PLUS an additional 40 minutes of shopping!
The support I received over email is laughable, and as other people mentioned- when you call you get no answer. I was told that there was an extra charge because there were 2 fixers (ok, fine- but I wasn't informed of this prior to the appointment). Also- I simple do not understand why I'm being charged for EXTRA TIME when the appointment just didn't take that long. I have text messages to back this up, and shared it with the person via email. Then their reply was We're going to give you a COURTESY refund of half an hour. Excuse me, but inaccurately charging me for more time than the appointment took and only giving me a quarter of the payment back isn't a courtesy- it's fraud.

Update: Fixer did reach out to me and try to remedy the situation, and I was refunded for an additional hour of time. Please be aware that they are charging their hourly rate AS WELL AS an additional shopping hourly rate. So you're basically getting double charged to have them go to Home Depot. Try to have the items you need to complete the task to avoid this charge. And also- if they send 2 Fixers- refuse! There is no reason to pay DOUBLE the hourly rate (yes, $278/hour!) for a very simple.
