Best Electricians in Illinois

Very happy with stephan i needed a emergency repair done he came out on sunday .priced right very professional .he is now my go to guy .

Dino and Eli made quick and clean work out of the previous owners hack-job. They installed six new can lights and an switch with minimal cuts and maximum professionalism. Thoughtful placement of cans really makes the basement feel BRAND NEW!

Will use again and again!

This company is great. They're going first hourly rate is fair and comparable to others in the area. I called in the morning around 9 and originally had a schedule for a few days later, no big deal. Then they called back with an opening for that very day!

The electrician, Greg, was professional and polite. When I asked why I was charged $10 on top of the order for stud extenders, he patiently showed me what they were and explained how they worked.

I will be using them in the future and can rest assured that a safe a proper job was complete.

Highly recommend.

Scheduled quickly, efficient, completed the work as expected, answered all our questions

My wife and I are in the middle of a whole bunch of improvement projects right now while we remodel our 1923 house. After getting a few different estimates for electrical work, we ended up hiring Joe to re-do our service (updating an old 60amp fuse box from the 40s to 100amp service with a breaker), update our old ungrounded outlets, and install some fans and light fixtures. The price we got was great for the work he was going to do, and for the quality of the work that he did.

I have to say that of the multiple contractors we've dealt with for various projects over the past 6 months during our remodeling, so far Joe is the only one who, to put it simply, did what he said he was going to do, when he said he was going to do it, for how much he said it would be. No BS, no excuses, and quick to respond to questions we had. If all the contractors we've been working with for other projects were as good to us as Joe was, I'd have a few less gray hairs coming in. Next time we need electrical work done, we know who we'll be calling.

First of all, I rarely write reviews but I was so impressed I felt the need to write this one.  I needed a light switch replaced in my kitchen.  Chris responded quickly with a very fair estimate yesterday and was able to schedule an appointment for today.  Chris is professional, courteous, efficient and very reasonable with his charges.  I have already discussed having him replace some light fixtures in my house.  I highly recommend ALC Electric!

Hm.  I'm not sure if this company ever served me, but I ended up in a spot on the Yelp website where I had to leave a review or at least stars... so 5 stars or zero stars?  I'm more of a five star person, so there you go.

Ryan is very professional, thorough, and provided excellent service.  He replaced a very old chandelier and three way switches.  He explained everything fully, quick and cleaned up afterward.  I'll be going to Ryan for all my future electrical needs.

Highlights ran a 240 service in my condo, allowing me to finally replace the 120V W/D that became too costly to repair and impossible to replace.

I would recommend them in a heartbeat. From the initial quote/on site visit from Boz to the subsequent install, and easy CC payment over the phone with Niki, every person I dealt with was professional and straightforward.

Quote/proposal matched final invoice; no hidden fees or attempts to cite extra work, etc. They even worked with me obtaining the COI that my HOA and Mgmt. Co. required - a back and forth process they could have easily given up on for a relatively minor sale.

I will call them for any future work, and will recommend them to anyone seeking an electrical contractor.

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

Jose and Rodney were absolutely great to work with. Not only did they do an amazing job, but it was all for a great price. They were tasked with replacing our track lighting with recessed lights, as well as, patching any holes and repainting our entire ceiling. We are beyond satisfied with their work and would recommend them to anyone who needed any sort of electrical or painting work done.

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!

These guys did a fantastic job moving two electrical outlets and converting my condo HVAC unit to two Nest thermostats. I was really impressed with the speed at which they responded to my call and the almost instantaneous quote. Even when the project took more time than expected they stuck with the quoted price. They were also very courteous and were able to come do the work within a week of my initial call. Overall I would highly recommend Blacklight and I'll call them back if I need more work done in the future.

Had Ted and asst. out in Aug. to put up ceiling fan in our 100+ yr. old bungalow which would have been no small feat for my husband, if he survived the quirky wiring without electrocuting himself.  I love the philosophy and attitude of this company: Do It Right.  Ceiling fan installed in no time and a sparky outlet repaired.  Had Ted give me estimate for update to code which seemed reasonable.  I agreed to have the proposed work done after back to school.  Ted is responsible, sent proposal, phones to follow up--all that many in the trades don't do. Crew was out when it was suppose to arrive.  Tara is a peach, as are her two co workers.  Yes, Ted has a lady electrician!  Crew worked well together, worked steadily, minimal break, made sure everything was labeled and operational.  Cleaned up too!  I will have Ted and crew out again to do more work on this old house.  Really exceptional.  A pleasure to deal with.  Highly recommend.

I had 3 people come out for discussions on our project and Tom came up with great recommendations for outdoor installation of lights and fixed some landscaping spotlights. He was reliable, helped pick out products and did a great job.  I'd definitely recommend him and will use him for future projects.

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.

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 needed an old thermostat removed and the wall patched and repaired. Fixer responded to my inquiry immediately and I found numerous available slots.

I scheduled for 9am on a Saturday and my fixer showed up right on time. He was very fast and completed the job in less than an hour. The finish on the patch was completely smooth and I was able to easily complete the touch up painting on my own 24 hours later.

Looks great! I'll definitely use Fixer again for my next small job.
