Best Electricians in Illinois

Very happy with AC/DC, Stephan, his work, follow up and pricing.  We needed to update some old lights and failed wiring in our practice.  First, we reached out to a number of electricians requesting estimates.  Stephan was quick to respond and offered a convenient time to meet.  His estimate was thorough, clear, and fair.  He recommended a great solution and timetable. Within a short few days  he was able to do the work in a timely, quick and professional way.  He even did some touch up painting around the newly installed exterior lights.  The job site was also cleaned and left in perfect condition.  The job looked great except for one of the back security lights it seems that the inside wiring was faulty and did not provide power.  Stephan was quick to follow up and came right out to find and fix the problem.  We couldn't be happier or give a higher recommendation to Stephan and AC/DC Electric.

I have used Sims and Sone for a year and a half. Darrell is literally on my speed dial. My condo building has had a number of plumbing issues that have been difficult to figure out - fixing one problem exposed another. After redoing my bathroom, we started having a leak into the downstairs unit. We tried to figure it out snd had other plumbers come attempt to diagnose the problem. Zeno came over, figured it out immediately and fixed. However, the plumbing work was complicated and solving the leak led to back ups because of back pitching and compression within my pipes. Zeno was incredibly thoughtful, used cameras to diagnose, and came and fixed my plumbing once and for all. He is incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, answering every question I had thoroughly, explaining it all to me and physically showing me so I could understand the problem. He stayed after the work was complete to help me with another issue and investigate an issue my neighbor was having. Truly, he goes ABOVE AND BEYOND. He was also teaching an apprentice while completing my work and it was really neat to see just how knowledgeable and skilled he is to pass it on to someone else. While the issues in my building were not common, Zeno had the grace, patience, and persistence to figure it out and did not stop until it worked fully. I cannot recommend Zeno enough. PLEASE use him because I promise you will not be disappointed.

We had an inspection report on a new Home which called out a few electrical items that needed attention. I found a recommendation for T&D on Facebook & got them on the job. The whole experience was excellent, from the booking to the arrival & completion of the work. David, the electrician, was helpful & knowledgeable.

I would recommend T&D Electrical without hesitation.

Honey Do Home Electrical does outstanding work. They are experts in all things electrical. I had no power in my overhead lights upstairs. They quickly diagnosed and resolved the problem. I highly recommend Honey Do Home Electrical.

Joe is the ruler of the universe!!!  Made a call  to him and he showed up in 30 minutes and solved our electric nightmare. I'm gonna hire him for all of my electric needs. Thanks Joe!

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!

Totally recommend if you're in need of any electrical jobs. Edward was great about providing a fair and accurate estimate. Esteban was on time, very professional and did a great job in installing our new living room light fixture. Job required him to move and center a new box on our sloped/vaulted ceilings. Also appreciated the follow-up call to make sure we were satisfied. Couldn't be happier!!!

Had some electrical troubles in our new house we needed fixed and addressed. Ryan was out at my house within an hour of calling him. Very professional, personable, and knowledgeable. He took the time to not only do a thorough job but explain everything he did each step of the way. Was quite a long project as we couldn't locate the problem immediately, but after some troubleshooting and enjoyable conversation, he located the problem and solved it. I don't know anything about electrician pricing but was told from my family who knows a thing or two about the business that his pricing was great and extremely fair for the job he did the length of time it took. Would highly recommend. Safe to say I've found my electrician for any future needs I may have. Thanks again Ryan, pleasure getting to know you.

Amazing service and easy to book! Great workers and very knowledgable! They were able to put together an entire chandelier and hang it within a few hours. They even made a trip to the hardware store when we realized we were missing a piece. They also followed all Covid protocol and I felt very safe the entire time. Thank you Highlights!

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

Would highly recommend. These guys worked around our schedule to get an emergency job done and handle a couple other fixes around our house. Will definitely be calling Tweaks & Finishes again in the future!

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.

Great communication and great quality of work. Their team explains things very well and gives you options. That's always a good thing. Will continue to use Kinetic for all my electrical needs!

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.

Outstanding very communicative on time reliable all above in every category.  Always answers always explains what is needled and why

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.

Outstanding customer service!  I needed same day service at my home.  While the Fixer could not come that day, they gave me the names and numbers of other reputable electricians in the area.  I was really impressed with their helpful service, and I would certainly come back to them.  They deserve to be the top of the Yelp list.
