Best Electricians in Illinois

We had a GFCI outlet installed in our bathroom. Stefan was on time, professional, and did good work. Communication was easy.

My husband and I found this company on Yelp after an unexpected power outage in our master bedroom. We were very impressed that Darrel answered the phone at midnight on a weekend and came over himself the following morning. He was able to take care of the issue quickly and explain why it had happened in a way a lay person could understand.

We unfortunately had a similar outage a few weeks later in the same room (unrelated- lucky us!). We texted Darrel and he immediately responded to help diagnose the issue via text. He got us set up with a service call the next day from Enis. Darrel knew all the right questions to ask was able to narrow down the issue via some pictures. Enis then came over and replaced our outside GFCI outlet which had gotten moisture into it. During both service calls the men wore booties and masks and were polite and informative. We obviously weren't thrilled these issues occurred back to back, but felt very comfortable that Darrel and his team were trustworthy and extremely competent. We also appreciated the follow up call from Darrel to make sure we were completely satisfied with our service.

We would be happy to recommend their service and would definitely use them again in the future for any other electrical needs!

T&D is our go to service provider.

Our latest project was to upgrade the electrical service to 200 amp and new 16 circuit 100 amp breaker panel for our two-flat.

Marianne is extremely responsive and helpful. Marcus provided a detailed body of work and walked us through the process well. Greg has serviced us on two separate occasions and is on time and professional.

We recommend T&D to our friends and family and would not hesitate to use again.

Ted (and son Tom) showed up very punctual, a rarity for any contractor apparently, to their scheduled time. The immediately laid down drop cloths, surveyed what they would need to bring into the home and got to work. They added two outlets in two separate rooms and did so very neatly and professionally. Pricing was a bit higher than I expected but nevertheless they did a professional job and even had to run to HD twice for materials needed as my home gave them extra work to do. All in all I'd recommend. Both wore masks the whole time.

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.

I had a great experience! Needed some commercial work in my storefront and they were able to squeeze me into the middle of their very busy day, the guy was polite and on time and reliable! Wound definitely call again!!

Had Ryan come out to repair a few lights and outlets that weren't working properly. He was able to diagnose the problem and fix the issues. He realized I liked to try my hand at home repairs and gave me some tips and advice for fixing and diagnosing problems myself in the future. Good work by an honest guy.

The team was very professional, accessible, and finished my condo's electrical issues expeditiously. Setting up an appointment was easy over the phone with Kemal, and payment was straightforward. More importantly, the job was done well. The price is about in-line with other electricians I called. As of today, it's $180 per field visit (an hour of work included) + any replacement materials; I'd advise to buy any potential materials ahead of time as materials are a fairly expensive add-on, likely due to a convenience premium. But the difference for me is that this team was able to provide flexibility in their scheduling where others couldn't. They are very easy to work with, and I'll be calling them again for future electrical issues.

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

Very happy with the work Tweaks & Finishes did. We've used them multiple times to hang lamps, switch out fixtures, and switch out switches. They were easy to get a hold of, easy to schedule, and kept us informed of what they were doing as they were doing it. They made some recommendations for our fixtures and switches to work more efficiently. They completed the work quickly and professionally. Will continue to use them for any electrical work.

Jake came by to install our ventilation fan and a new bathroom vanity. He was super friendly, quick, and reasonably priced. Highly recommend!

Neville and his team are amazing! I cannot recommend them highly enough. We went through 3 electricians before I found Blacklite online and Neville was the only one who was able to fix our issue. First, we had a problem with our dimmers which caused some of our overhead lights to flicker. They fixed it right away and Neville even stayed longer to help repair the messy job left by the previous electrician.

Next, they installed the Doorbird doorbell system which was a complex process due to our previous system setup and a faulty device that I had received from Doorbird. Neville reached out to the company personally to try to resolve the issue and he kept me in the loop via text throughout the process. I could tell he cared about getting the job done right and I appreciated the extra time he took (off the clock) to make it happen. Get it done right the first time and hire these guys!

They came out, explained what they were going to do to diagnose the problem I had (no power in garage), located the issue quickly, and corrected it.  Fast, friendly, knowledgeable.  I selected them for the 5 stars on Yelp, and I am very pleased to add to the list of 5-star reviews.  I wish more interactions were like this one.  Highly recommended.

Tom and his crew do such great work! Highly recommend them. They installed 4 outdoor outlets in our yard and also trenched wires underground so they were no longer exposed to the elements. They were on time, flexible, and just care about doing the job right. Tom is a really nice guy who walks you through all the work ahead of time. Don't hesitate to reach out to him!

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

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.

Fast response time. Requested a quote in the morning and they were able to come out the same day. Had them Install a ceiling fan. Work was done professionally, I was very satisfied with the results. Will definitely use them again for any projects that come up in the future.
