Best Electricians in Illinois

We were warned by homeowner friends when we moved into our new home that a good electrician is hard to find. We didn't realize this until our power kept glitzing and turning off in the basement whenever we have space heaters on.  Did a yelp search and got numerous quotes but Stefan's from AC/DC  was the most reasonable.  He came and assessed the problem, replaced burnt-out hazardous outlets and advised us to get baseboard heaters. He came back to install them and create a separate circuit breaker a week later. We are very happy with the work he's done, and we didn't lose an arm and a leg with the price he charged. Yes! We found a good electrician. He's definitely a keeper.

When some other electrician left us with extremely shoddy work and unresolved issued, Ely and Graham from Sims & Sons stepped the hell up and saved the day. From start to finish, working with Sims & Sons was great.

Initially we called just to have repairs done to the completely botched induction range install the previous guy did, but our first chat with Darrell left us feeling like we'd found someone who knew their ish, so we gave them the whole list: move some outlets and switches, reroute a bunch of conduit, ground the electric, install ceiling lights and outlets where none existed, fix an outlet that'd be busted 10+ years, remove some lights from one switch and run them to another, etc., etc.  

Ely and Graham worked together to come up with a solution for the range, and it was clear that Ely has some serious creative problem solving skills. Everything was up and running within a day (whereas the previous guys took three days and two different crews just to make our lives harder). Ely walked me through every repair, update, and change they'd made while Graham cleaned up (like, *actually* cleaned up. it was dope). They were also very attentive to the fact that we had some of the same power tools laying around that they had, and made sure nothing got swapped or accidentally taken at the end of the day.

Seriously. Huge props to Darrell, Ely, and Graham. 10/10, A+, 100%.

We purchased a 2-flat building and T&D Electrical helped us get up to code in order for ComEd to install a permanent connection. Marcus was incredible -- while we initially experienced issues with the ComEd inspector (requiring that we install a lattice on our 2nd level porch to make incoming power lines inaccessible), which delayed completion, Marcus helped us see the project through to completion. He had a carpenter come over and install the lattice, communicated with ComEd, and was at the property multiple times -- to meet the carpenter and to meet the inspector. And we are now completely up to code, having passed ComEd's inspection. Thank you Marcus and T&D Electrical for your superb work ethic and dedication!

Ted and his son are timely, patient and respectful.  I had purchased a wireless door bell that wasn't compatible but try they did to get it right, they will be kindly coming  back to put in my new purchase.  So glad I finally found an electrician that I can call on for any future electrical work.  I highly recommend Honey Do Home Electrical.

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.

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

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!

My husband Tony contacted Ryan yesterday regarding a partial power outage at my mother's home the night before. Tony met him there and he checked the electrical service box. He determined there was a problem with the existing wiring and promptly traced, found and repaired the source of  intermittent interruptions.
He solved a complex wiring system issue with professional expertise.
We highly recommend Ryan should you require any electrical work.
He is our Go To Guy!
Thanks again Ryan.

I've used Highlights for two projects at my home.  I couldn't have had a better experience both times.  We had Jimmy as our lead tech for both jobs.  Both times we were provided a fair quote, quick and professional work.  Boz and Kamal in their office are great as well! Earlier this year they replaced a kitchen light fixture, dinning room light fixture, and repaired a garage light.  On this visit they repaired a doorbell connection and replaced the existing bell with a new bell.  I would  very much recommend them for future electrical work.

Rogelio did a great job moving an outlet inside our kitchen island.

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!!

Jake came to fix an electrical issue on our rooftop. He was able to quickly identify the problem and address it. He was very friendly and reasonably priced. I definitely recommend!

Last Sunday, my wife turned on the kitchen light, and all the lights and electronics in the house started acting like the house was possessed -- flickering, pops, and all the rest. I knew it wasn't good, and looked to trusty Yelp for guidance.
It was a little odd to communicate primarily by text with this business, but hey, its 2015. Johnny came out for what I thought would be a simple circuit breaker replacement. Turns out it was much more complicated than that, involving checking all the outlets to find the electrical short.
After several hours, Neville himself came out and took over the operation. Within an hour, everything was working again. Neville is a pro, and he works hard to find the problem and make you happy. He didn't charge for his time, since he hadn't anticipated working on it. He was upfront about costs, and his costs are very reasonable.

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.

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

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.

I found Fixer by searching Yelp reviews of local contracting companies. Overall, I would say my experience wasn't terrible, but I left underwhelmed with the experience.

I had a pesky window frame that needed to be repaired and I was struggling to find someone who could help within a reasonable timeframe. I chose Fixer because the reviews seemed fairly consistent and they seemed to have the most availability.

When it came to scheduling, they have options that say you can request a timeframe of 6-7 CST on weekdays, but then you get a text from their system saying they typically only book 7AM-3PM. Their 6-7 CST appointments was a factor that led me to choose them for services. I found out later that on rare occasions there can be some appointments that fill that time slot (as well as weekends). I wound up choosing the earliest available appointment window of 7AM-8AM where a worker would arrive. Come to the day of the appointment, I get a text saying the worker Miguel was on their way at 7:03AM. Come 7:45AM, still no update and I started calling/texting the numbers that had communicated with me. They knew that Miguel was not coming and had not communicated this issue with me until I started texting. It was very frustrating that they knew he was not coming, yet they did not communicate this issue to me earlier.

They sent another worker (named Beck) out at 8:08AM and Beck did show within 20 minutes of this time. The window frame fix took less than 20 minutes. So I suggest that if you book them, try to have a few tasks in mind that they could work on because they charge a minimum of an hour (and the cost was expensive). Admittedly, I didn't know how long the window fix would take so I didn't think having additional tasks through very well. Beck was polite and kind when I spoke about my issues and suggested I reach out to management. Beck also said this issue has happened with appointments scheduled with Miguel before.

About an hour later, a manager named Jayme reached out to me and informed me that they have an automated text that goes out the morning/time of your appointment that says a driver was leaving. They are aware of that if a driver calls off, the message still goes out. Jayme was apologetic and gave me a discount for the issue I experienced. However, I was really disappointed that they knew about this automatic text issue and did not reach out to me when they knew Miguel would not be able to keep the appointment.

Overall, I get that issues happen. The company owned up to their mistakes and remedied the best they could. Truly appreciate that. Given the experience, I think I am going to try a few other contracting companies. I'm not going to rule Fixer out completely, but I felt the pricing was truly a bit steep unless you have a few things for them to fix within the hour. Beck's quality did hold up for the service, but the scheduling and timing issues have deterred me from keeping Fixer as a go-to contractor.
