Best Electricians in Illinois

We bought an older property that needed a major electrical update and everything brought up to code. Stefan took his time and walked us through the entire process from start to finish. He was timely, polite, and very informative. His pricing was fair and fit our budget nicely. He was right on schedule and had everything done within a super convenient timeframe. We'll be sure to give him a call back for any of our future projects. I would highly recommend giving Stefan at AC/DC a call for any electrical needs!

We had just got a new condo and immediately had an issue with the high-end, really expensive fridge.
It was a nightmare.
We had an appliance guy show up who did absolutely nothing helpful, and charged us full price for the house call.
Thankfully, Darrell showed up at our place next, and was extremely professional, friendly and informative. He not only located the issue, but resolved it (and a number of other outstanding issues with our breakers) in short order. What could've been a very bad situation was handled safely.
I cannot recommend this company highly enough- they've made a customer for life!

This company is amazing! I never yelp but this company deserves it. My power was out for a total of three days and I couldn't find anyone to help me. Comed confirmed my electricity had not been shut off but wouldn't send anyone out because it was only my unit in the building that was out. My landlord wouldn't help me, she actually answered one of my calls and hung up on me. I should probably mention that I am being kicked out because she saw my dog a couple of weeks ago. (Everyone in this building has a dog) I didn't even know it was a problem. I spent two entire days contacting people trying to figure this out. I hired one electrician who looked at my meter and said Comed DID have my power shut off and still charged me for being here 2 minutes. I called Comed for the 20th time pleading with them to send someone out. Finally a guy came, he informed me it was not shut off that it was just an uncommon looking lock on the meter. He investigated further, removed the cover behind the breakers and discovered someone had intentionally cut my wires ( I believe 100% the landlord had this done to me as I have no problems with my neighbors and my storage unit was also broken into) After all of this I started calling electricians again. I called a ton of them, most didn't answer, some were to expensive, and all of the ones I talked to told me they could be here in a day or two. I needed someone today, it had already been 3 days. That's when really far down on the yelp list I found T&D. Someone answered immediately, a very nice lady named Haley. I told her I needed someone as soon as possible, she said she'd check to see if someone would be in my area today and call me back. She called back a little later saying someone could be here in 30 minutes and that they charged $120 for the first hour (very reasonable compared to other quotes I got) Then Fermin showed up he looked at the problem and had it fixed in 15 minutes and was very nice and professional. FINALLY I HAD POWER!!!!! I wish I would of called them much sooner but they are so far down on the list when you search electricians on yelp. They should be at the top. They are quick, cheap, professional and best of all someone actually answers the phone when you call. I would recommend them to anyone who needs an electrician!

Highly recommended. Came out same day to fix a broken circuit breaker. Nothing but compliments for this man. Will use again. Thanks!

Quality at affordable prices. Had him do several things including installation and fixing some other electrical issues. Other places quoted weeks to come out, he completed the job in under 7 days. Will definitely call for all future electrical work.

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

Received great and prompt service from Edward and Julio to install a nest doorbell that needed extra work than the simple install on the packaging. Julio was very respectful of the end cosmetics and worked with us on very professionally the project. Bonus points for mask wearing!

Ryan hung a ceiling fan that I was unable to hang safely and had given up -- though I'd successfully hung the exact model in another room in the house.  He's a creative problem solver, and we carried on an interesting conversation as he worked.  Final cost was LESS than he estimated.

Highlight Electric does excellent work. Mile and Gig have done more than one job for me and they are highly skilled in their craft and very professional. They troubleshooted an electrical issue I was having with dimming lights and addressed my issue letting me know  what they were doing every step of the way. They fixed some other quirks they uncovered along the way and they labeled my electrical panels. I can now rest assured my electrical is safe and my problem is correctly addressed. I highly recommend this electrical company and their crew.   They respond very fast and have very fair prices. It is so good to have found my forever electricians....

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!

Needed a Tesla wall charger installed in our garage.  Jake showed up on time and offered a few different options with full explanation of each.

Once we agreed on scope and price he went to work.  You could tell he has installed a ton of these.   Job was completed in a timely manner and he left the area cleaner than when he started.  

Charger has been used daily for a few months now without issue.  Would recommend.

A couple months ago, I needed to have a ceiling fan installed.  These guys are exceptional in every aspect of the word.  The day of the appointment Neville let me know that the tech that was supposed to do the job was hung up on a prior project.  Neville said not to worry as he would be coming out himself to get this taken care of.  He showed up shortly after and completed the install.  He gave me a great discount and was extremely courteous and efficient.  Anytime I am in need of a household job of this nature that I can't do myself, Blacklite Electric will absolutely be the outfit that I call.  

Bravo Neville!

It's been hard to find a great electrician but Kinetic has been wonderful. I believe Doug helped us both time.  First time, what we thought would be expensive was not.  That was great news.  Second time, he fixed everything great.  Honest and great company to work with.

Honest, transparent about costs, and delivered excellent work on time for installing an electric car charger. He looked up specs on the car company website, going the extra mile to ensure he did the best work.

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.

Aaron and Angel arrived on time and very efficiently fixed the water damaged drywall on our ceiling for a very reasonable price. It looks good as new. This is my first time using fixer but will definitely use this service again.
