Best Electricians in Illinois

Stefan responded quickly with a reasonable quote and his provided his availability. He came to replace two dimmer switches, but had brought the wrong type. He ran to the store to get the right items, completed the repair, gave me great advice on how to reduce my energy consumption, and charged the original flat fee he quoted. I definitely recommend his services!!

I have hired Sims & Sons for multiple jobs at this point, my first encounter with Darrell (who I now know is the owner) was him coming out to provide an estimate on my pending home purchase (at the time) of an over 100 year old home and bringing its electrical and plumbing up to date. Though Darrell new everything about everything and walked me through everything that was wrong, including options to resolve. At the time, I took that as him trying to oversell me, and only gave his crew a small part of what I wanted to get done, hiring other companies that turned out to be awful for most of the work.

The day after purchasing this home and 3 days before my family moved in, I needed major updates. While closing, Darrell called to see if we could postpone our work, I stated the urgency with my family moving in that coming weekend, he said let me figure it out and called back shortly to say he moved the other jobs, but needs to do all the work in one day, which I agreed to. That next day, 8 pickup trucks and vans showed up out front, with a dozen people exiting vehicles grabbing tools and supplies with Darrell out front directing the entire crew to perfection. The HVAC owner, showing up later for their HVAC install said I felt intimidated seeing them work.

After working with his crews more, Darrell knows a lot, and wants to share that knowledge, he will attend seminars on new plumbing or electrical technology to learn about water pressure or what is coming with solar power to inform his customers. This guy literally geeks out on this stuff, totally changing my perception of the industry. I took a few days off work right after buying the home and just talked with him about everything as I wanted to learn what I can. I went into buying this home wanting to do whatever work I could myself and here was a person willing to teach me while his crews took care of the work way beyond my capability.

I have led $100 million dollar, years long IT projects and was truly impressed with how well Darrell knew every component of the job, he is young, but has already done every aspect of the job, though an owner he will still get his hands dirty to ensure the work is done right. He was immediately able to deploy his crew to every aspect, respond to new issues as we opened walls and stay on time and on budget throughout. Other contractors constantly need to run back to Home Depot for parts, but Sims comes prepared, with a plan, instead of winging it like I have seen with other groups.

Every time Darrell gave me a quote for the new scope of work, my first reaction has always been holy shit. But every time I have went with other service providers to save money, in the short time I have owned the home, I have already needed others to come fix the problems they cut corners on to keep their costs down. Though the sticker shock is often big, every time I see the number of people coming for full days (often 10, 12 hours) performing the work, I will try to calculate the costs out with labor / supplies and wonder how they are making money.

I don't write reviews often, my initial thought of Sims & Sons, came from a perception that contractors will try to screw you over, but after working with their crews, I will never use anyone else.

I had T&D Electrical quote for three outside/external flood lights (including one smart one) installed, and they were spot on in their estimate.  Miguel came out and did an excellent job superbly figuring out the best and most efficient way to get power from the inside outside.  I will happily use T&D for all of my electrical needs, as the communication was clear and prompt, and the workmanship top noth.

I had Ted out to my house in La Grange Park to troubleshoot a couple of outlets that had stopped working.  I am somewhat technical myself, and was able to diagnose the problem, but not locate it.  That's when I texted Ted.  Yes, you can text him directly.  I don't know about you, but I thought that was a great feature; very convenient! So anyway, Ted came out on Monday (I'd originally reached out to him on a Sunday, and while he doesn't do Sunday housecalls (totally understandable) he DID respond to me on Sunday right away, and we set up a time for the next day.  He arrived on time, and I had told him what I had done to investigate (I'd determined that it was a broken neutral somewhere in the conduit feeding these two kitchen outlets, but I couldn't find the break).  He was patient and helpful as I was explaining all of this, and agreed with my assessment.  Since I was curious, I watched him while he worked, and he explained what he was doing the whole time, because he knew I was interested.  While we were discussing this, we also talked about some other improvements that we could make to the electrical at my house (balancing circuits between the two hot feeds coming into my house, and stuck around while I played with different pieces of equipment (I have a lot of computers ;p ) to see how we could save on my power bills.  After we did that, I noticed that my power bills have decreased by about 10%!  He also was willing to stick around and install an motion-sensing light switch that I had been unable to get to work properly.  All of this extra stuff was not discussed ahead of time, but he was willing to take the extra time to help me out.  I have found my electrician for all my future needs.  Ted is great, you should call (or text!) him today!

Joe responded quickly, arrived on time, and did a fantastic job. Not only did he fix the problem that I called him for, he also discovered and fixed another problem in an upstream fixture. A diligent professional at a very fair price: you can't ask for more than that!

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!

We uncovered something weird when working on our 1920s home, and Ryan was able to come out right away to check it out and make sure the outlet was working properly. We look forward to working with Ryan again in the future!

We needed some electrical work done in our 150 year old recently purchased 2 flat. We kept flipping the breaker in the kitchen when appliances were running, electrical outlets were loose, we had a ceiling fan hanging by wires, closet lights weren't working, and we wanted to add some outlets to a couple of rooms. Highlights came out and look through our issues for a quote. Prompt and patient with us, WE ARE A HANDFUL, and we had a quote back within a couple days. Boz did great with answering all of our questions, and when we decided things last minute he was able to fit all the changes in. The crew of 3 showed up on time and worked diligently to get everything done in a day. They worked around our large pittie rescue and 2 fat cats and were very respectful. They KILLED IT. They also found a leak when up in our scary attic. They showed us pictures so we could contact a roofing company and actually saved us money so we could get it repaired before it got worse. Customer Service was ridiculous and cost was reasonable. We got a couple quotes and are so delighted that we chose Highlights. We'll be using them any time we need electrical done. They got life customers with us.

Great job all the way around!!! Excellent work, fantastic attention to detail. Am definitely going to hire again.

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.

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.

Great Experience.  We set the appointment up with Neville (only through text messages after leaving a voicemail), and it was super easy.  Johnny arrived in the time window he said that he would, he was really nice and accommodating. He didn't have a problem with my gigantic dog, and I enjoyed hanging out with him for a couple hours while he corrected a lighting problem and hung a light fixture.  The pricing also seemed very reasonable, we'll be using them again in the future!

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!

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.

Frank is very professional.  Showed up when he said he would, explained what he was doing, and even provided a lower price than what he first quoted.  I will definitely call him again for any electrical job.  Highly recommend!

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.

Truly a garbage company.

You would think that a company offering repair services at a set price per hour and easy scheduling would be a dream come true. Absolutely not. I booked Fixer to do multiple repairs on my home as I recently moved to another state and was preparing my home for a new tenant. The Fixer that was assigned to my home was: 1) awful at communication to my property manager 2) bypassed nearby hardware stores and took over an hour to shop which cost me $140 alone. 3) I had to cancel the other jobs I scheduled because at the rate he was going the 1-2 hr estimation jumped to 5-6 hrs which would've cost more than originally planned 4) the contractor disclosed to my property manager that he was unlicensed (Fixer advertises on their website that contractors were licensed) 5) Didn't even finish the 1 job he had before he left.

I was charged nearly $440 for unfinished work for 1 job. It wasn't until I reached out to Fixer via email to figure what actually happened since it wasn't communicated. They explained to me that it was actually a two-day job and the Fixer would have to return. When were they going to tell me that? And I booked this service on that particular day for a reason because of the limited availability to have someone on-site for hours while we're not there. They gave me two options after I expressed my dissatisfaction and frustration: 1) they'll charge me a prorated rate for the unfinished work or 2) they'll come back at another time to finish the work and I won't be charged for the 2nd day which I really didn't have a choice but to choose. I couldn't leave the work unfinished or I'd have to find and pay someone else to finish their trash work on top of paying Fixer.

The only ways to speak with this company is via text or email. If you call the number they ask you to text, it only gives you an option to leave a message and never an opportunity to speak to a representative. The customer service is truly ridiculous. Finally, when I could have someone on-site for a full day, I went to schedule a time to have the work completed and was told I had to pay the full amount prior to having a Fixer return to finish what they originally left undone! They are scheduled to come in a few weeks and I pray to God that my experience isn't as awful as the first.

Maybe my experience was an one-off but I would never ever utilize this company's services again after this job is complete. Ever.
