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.

We needed someone to check for wiring issues for a fixture that kept losing power. First of all they were very responsive and easy to schedule with. I contacted a few other places as well that never even responded. Then they followed up to confirm the appointment and were right on schedule. Christian and Ramiro called to let us know arrival time, and were very easy and pleasant to work with. They ensured that the wiring and connections were safe and up to code, then explained the possible problems and gave us options of next steps. The only thing the company could improve is communicating the $185 fee for service calls. I understood the free estimate to mean that they would decide how much work would be needed then the charge, but it was $185 to even begin the call. Otherwise, was 100% pleased with the company and service.

Im totally shocked by the professionalism of T&D. I was totally electrified when I called their number and a live person answered the phone, I was able to schedule an estimate for the next day, received a quote about 8 hours after, called the same phone number again and booked the installation to happen immediately. I got a charge out of the payment process, super easy and the quality of the work was really high. The electrician cleaned up after all the work, it was if a lightning bolt busted into the house and fixed all of our problems, leaving behind a faint scent of victory. Before calling T&D, I tried to reach several electricians who never returned my calls or were booked out for weeks, good for them but bad for me, it really took the wind out of my sails (if I only had an electrician to fix my motor).

Unfortunately my house is out of his service area, but his responsiveness was excellent.  Super quick reply time.

This was the second visit from Joe. This time it was an additional light and switch I needed installed in a closet.  Joe came out less than 24 hours later, had everything required for the installation, and very quickly had the service run and the switch and light installed.  I highly recommend Joe for any electrical work in your home.

For all you single women, first time homeowners, who are getting ripped off out there, search no more. Chris is an honest professional. He's done mutliple jobs at my place now and trust me, I've searched the quotes. His work is clean, up to code, and even educates me on the do's and don'ts. For me, this goes a long way. His communication is exceptional, his thoroughness is easily visible, and he keeps it real. when you find a good contractor you share him, because there are a lot of contractors out there that are so demanding and the job is total trash ass. That's the worst.

So I reached out to this company through Yelp about a month ago.
At first they seemed quick to respond and willing to help but I still do not have a response for the work I wanted done.

A gentleman contacted me and asked a few questions and then gave me a time and date to come look at the house for estimates. He was late to the appoint by nearly an hour due to a car appointment running over longer than expected.

He gave me some solid advice saying to look into my internet provide to get the work installed (I did, but tried again with no luck). I did appreciate the recommendation. I thought it was sweet.

After researching my internet provider again. I texted that same gentleman about getting work done.
No response. I texted him again about 2 days later only to be given a number of someone else because he was out of town.

I called the number and left a voicemail only to be never contacted. You win some you lose some.

My in-laws had trouble with service company they hired to fix their range 2 days ago.  Long story short, the technician blew up their fuse and their whole electric box went out. On top of being on the edge with all the trouble that was done by the repair technician, they had the hardest time to finding an electrician for an emergency appointment. They were told one will come that night but ended up being a no show.

I contacted Ryan electrical power for a quote that night and he responded right away. Given that it was already about 10pm, my in-laws chose to just wait for an electrician from Hobson to come the following morning.

Thursday morning comes and I get a call that the guy was no show again. I gave them Ryan's number and not only was he willing to squeeze them in for that day but he actually took time to listen to their problem and he was able to walk them to fix their issue of restarting their electrical panel.  Folks, this is when you know that one is a master of their craft. It ended up that they didn't even need to have an electrician come over.

Thank you so much for your expertise that you were able to help 2 strangers when they were very frantic and tired. We have saved your information and will recommend you whenever a need for an electrician arises.

Can I give more than 5 stars?  These guys are world class honestly.  Their bid for installing 3 EV chargers at our condo building was less than half than a few other bids we got.  Then the actual work? It honestly couldn't look and function better.  Boz and his team were so incredibly nice and so helpful....and they got a HUGE job done for us in a day.  I've never been happier with a hired job in my life - HIGHLY suggest using these guys for any project!

We are in the process of tearing down a house we recently purchased, and hired Rogelio at Alex Electrical to cut the main electrical line from the pole to the house, as well as remove the cable lines, the electric meter, and the electric box in the house. Rogelio was extremely knowledgeable, very responsive, professional, and got the job done in less time than the estimate. He also mentioned that his company installs outlets, light fixtures, etc. We will definitely be hiring him again in the future for any electrical needs we have. Thank you, Rogelio.

Needed a new light fixture hung in the kitchen. The guys were courteous, professional, and thorough. We plan on using them again soon.

Great prices, quick work, friendly guy. Called 4 other electricians and they all quoted me about $100-200 for the same job. Definitely recommend.

Had some light fixtures added to my place and they were super quick installing them. Were very responsiveand professional and would definitely use them again.

Amazing service! If I can give them more stars I would! This was the best experience ever. Being a first time home buyer, Danny was amazing. He made it so easy and was so nice. This company provided fast service and some of the best customer service I have ever experienced. If you are looking for some work done, look no longer!

I had 3 people come out for discussions on our project and Tom came up with great recommendations for outdoor installation of lights and fixed some landscaping spotlights. He was reliable, helped pick out products and did a great job.  I'd definitely recommend him and will use him for future projects.

Ted changed out fixtures throughout our house, including a difficult chandelier in our dining room. He also fixed a hot outlet and looked at our garage electrical. He was on time, fairly priced, and did great work. We'll be using him again.

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.

My overall experience of getting some small drywall repairs +texturing had some bumps. Drywall texturing might be a bit more specialized/dependent on local experience than other handyman type jobs. After an initial drywall fix fell short of agreed scope, fixer had a follow-up worker come by to make a more reasonable match of the texturing, at their expense.

Pros:
-Responsiveness on Communication - The service was the first to respond for my bid on a drywall job, which was good.

-Availability - If you need a quick/emergency repair for which you aren't handy, this may be a good option. Seattle tradespeople aren't always super-available - Fixer has recently been bringing in some folks temporarily from Chicago to help bolster their team here.

-Friendly Attitude - All the fixer staff I have interacted with have been friendly/polite.

Cons:
-Expertise - Fixer's workers are generalists, who have a stock set of tools, but do not specialize in any particular trade. They provide folks with some baseline training, but the company takes jobs for a variety of tasks, meaning folks may not be super well practiced on details of any particular kind of job. E.g. Both of the fixers that came to my place didn't were not particularly experienced with orange-peel drywall texturing(which unfortunately is semi-common in Seattle area condos), as opposed to Flat drywall.

-Pricing model/Warranty - Look on their website to make sure you understand their model. Normally, Fixer charges an hourly rate. In my case, the work took longer than quoted due to questionable assumptions an initial worker made.  Fixer did reach out with me to try improve on the key issues with the flawed repair at their expense which helped, but I don't take that as a guaranteed thing.

-Scheduling/Timeframe- My appointments got cancelled/postponed at least a couple times due to earlier jobs running over. I believe they offered a $25 credit for future work with each of those cancellations.

My experience:
Initially - I had a drywall repair and texture matching job to replace a number of holes cut by an electrician. The initial fixer decently repaired most of the patches themselves, but one large square section at eye level had an obvious recess of 1/4 inch from the surrounding wall, which he thought was fine. When I brought up the problem, he commented the electrician should have shimmed the drywall out. The screws for the patch which the fixer was hired to repair were accessible when he started.

He spent time applying a veiny sponge effect, where my walls have a orange peel texture which is sprayed on. It didn't make for a good match. My reason for bidding this work out, rather than attempting it myself was I wanted someone who could make repairs that would blend in well.

After I shared my feedback, fixer reached out afterwards, and we agreed to have another follow come by to try to correct things. The second fellow applied some drywall mud to flatten out a section of visibly recessed drywall, and sanded + applied orange-peel texturing to get a less obvious contrast between the textures.

To sum up:
A lot of work the fixer company does makes sense for generalists/handymen to take on. In my view, the textured drywall repairs requires experience and attention to detail to recognize potential issues early, and a practiced hand to do quality work. Some fixers might have good background for doing this kind of work on first attempt, but I think it's a roll of the dice.
