Best Electricians in Illinois

Very responsive and nice! Installed my ceiling fan no problem where I previously had just a regular overhead light.

Now our go to company for any plumbing issues! We had a water leak in our house where a lot of water was pouring out of our ceiling and we were in a hurry to find a plumber right away. So grateful Sims and Sons was the first company we called. They understood how urgent the matter was and got a technician out right away. Within a half hour we had someone at our house and inspecting the problem. They worked with us, and our above neighbors, to try and figure out where the water was coming from, instead of just ripping into our walls. I really appreciate that Sims and Sons had our best interests in mind. We cannot thank them enough! We will definitely be using them for any issues in the future.

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.

Ted was great! He promptly responded to my initial inquiry and came out within days to install a new external outlet for us. He was nice, and on time, and most importantly he charged us an honest and reasonable price... unlike some other electricians we have hired. We will definitely be using him again for other projects! Highly recommend!

Joe installed LED cabinet lighting for my kitchen and fireplace cabinet. He did a great job, taking his time to ensure the job was done right and that the work area was kept clean. Definitely will contact Joe for electrical jobs in the future!

Christian was responsive and professional. He fixed the issue quickly and within 24 hours of requesting the quote on Yelp.

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!!!

Ryan has been extremely responsive to our service requests.  Each time when we have explained our issue and the urgency (different kinds of contractors were arriving for the non-electrical elements of the project), Ryan was able to visit on relatively short notice and within the window quoted.  The 2nd time was an evening but, we were close enough to another job he was finishing and we were not charged any kind of after hours surcharge.

Ryan is professional but friendly and each time, went went out of his way to educate us.

I highly recommend his services.

Highlights has helped me with multiple electric needs. I am a real estate broker who regularly refers them to clients with fantastic feedback and praise. Most recently, I had a little emergency. I was hosting a small charity event in my backyard, only to find that electricity was running through the railing of my deck! I texted Boz and his team arrived within 20 minutes (after hours) to correct the issue. They saved the party- and our health and safety! It meant so much that they hustled over to help me out. They are really the best. Use them- you wont regret it!

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

A great experience!

Jose from Tweaks & Finishes was very quick to reply to communications and then to submit his bid.

He priced the job very competitively, scheduled it for later that day, arrived a few minutes early.

He unpacked and installed the fixture correctly, carefully, and even requested my confirmation of approval (placement, pendant light height, etc.) at each step.

He worked cleanly, fast, was 100% competent, and very friendly the whole time.

No surprises or disappointments.

Really an exceptional experience.

Had an awesome experience with Jake. I got into some trouble trying to swap out a light fixture and created a bit of a wiring mess for myself that he was able to skillfully clean up. He was able to go pop out and buy a replacement light fixture that would fit my junction box and install that too. While he was at my house he added a plug to a closet that we had been wanting installed since we moved in. Super efficient work, very pleasant interactions, reasonable pricing- I will definitely be calling Jake up again for future work.

Blacklite Electric is awesome! We have called on Neville and his experienced team to install our cieling fan, hang a drop light and fix the electric wiring in our living room. Each time, we have received great service at a fantastic price! Plus, the team is especially friendly - which is always a plus! My husband and I cannot provide enough kudos to Blacklite!

We've used Kinetic Energy for some small jobs and liked them very much.  Just recently we hired them to (1) to remove an existing dual bulb motion sensor floodlight and then, in it's place, set up a Ring-brand motion sensor with a camera and floodlights on the alley side of our garage, and (2) install a Ring-brand doorbell camera/motion sensor on our front door.  The work included making sure both units were connected to our WiFi and working properly.  We got an estimate for the work weeks before we could get on the schedule.  Today we got the invoice for the completed work, and it was exactly the same amount as the estimate.  The installer Steve was very friendly, efficient, explained well what he was doing and didn't leave so much as a speck of dust when he was done.  This is an Oak Park business, owned by Oak Park residents.  SHOP LOCAL!

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!

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.

Phenomenal experience from start to finish!

Let's start with the booking process - so simple! Everything done online , could easily pick an appointment convenient for us, including going into late evening.

Next, the punctuality - showed up perfectly on schedule (in fact we weren't ready and D'Angelo our Fixer was kind enough to wait).

We had a lot of odd jobs around the house - the most time consuming of which was putting up wallpaper. D'Angelo was clearly experienced, gave a fair estimate of the time and did a phenomenal job.

Finally , settling up was so easy, he set a clock for the time spent doing active work and charge was exactly proportional to time used . Spoke to 3 different handymen and their rate was the most fair and hastle free.

I will request D'Angelo the Fixer anytime we need a hand around the house !
