Best Electricians in Illinois

Another great install.  He installed two bathroom fans an six recessed ceiling lights in the family room. Excellent work and very professional. Arrived on time and did the work on budget. Highly recommend their service.

I own a small business and we had an issue that needed to be dealt with right away. I looked around Yelp and saw the great reviews for Sims and Sons and decided to give them a call. Darrell was very helpful and let me know everything up front. I had a client at 9 and needed to have my problem fixed before then. Darrell had arranged his time so that I could still run my business by 9 AM - He told me he would be at my business at 8:30. He got here at 8:20. So right away I knew this guy was professional and that he wanted to make sure I was fully functional for my work. He worked efficiently, answered all my questions, and fixed every issue that I had. He literally finished at 8:58, just enough time before my client came in. He even looked at other problems that I had and fixed those as well. I was very satisfied with the service and he explained everything he did. Prices are very reasonable and he already let me know how much everything was going to cost before he came in, so I was prepared and was not bombarded with hidden or extraneous fees that other people try to cheat you with. They followed all the COVID guidelines, Darrell even wiped his feet outside before entering my building because he had walked through some dirt. Very considerate! I've had other people not care and just walk through my business and make my floors dirty. Because of this I can tell he truly cares about his customers. I will continue to hire these guys for any future problems. They deserve all of the praise that you see here!

This company went above and beyond. Not only did they upgrade the electric box and service as they were supposed to, but they also added 3 extra small outlets for my cable service and other things that now look awesome. Before they arrived the electrical closet down stairs was a mess, now it looks great! Thanks guys!

Had a great experience with Ted wiring and installing two new ceiling fans. We needed to install the fans in rooms which did not have an electrical box in the ceiling. Ted came fully prepared on time and got the job done.  Ted explained what he was going to do and made it happen.  Will definitely call again when the next project comes around.

CALL THIS GUY!!  I spent a good portion of year, hundreds of dollars and went through 3 other electricians before I found Joe.  After explaining the symptoms, he pinpointed a random electrical issue I was dealing with in minutes.  He charged me a small fee for his short time spent and followed up the next day to be sure all was well.  I will definitely use him again and will be telling all my friends. Thanks again Joe!

I needed some electrical work done in my garage and MNC did great work.  Quick response, quality work and a good price.  I recommend.

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!!

I called Ryan in the early evening and within 3 hours he was at my apartment and installed an outlet.   He is knowledgeable, friendly and easy to work with.

I had a great experience with Highlights. We needed a new light fixture for our condo building lobby. Kemal traded a few e-mails with me to help me pick the right fixture and Daryl came out the same week to pull out our ancient old fixture and get the new one installed. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Thanks guys!

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 are great! We needed more electrical work than we thought, but Jose did not charge more than the original quoted price except for more equipment that was needed for some unforeseen problems that came up. Rodney did a great job painting and even did some minor covering of a small spot of ugly color on my walls. I will soon ask them to install some recessed lighting as they already explained the procedure. What a great team!

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.

These guys are fantastic!  We had a relatively straightforward electrical project but I am both clumsy and less than handy, which seems to be the perfect formula for electrocution.  Luckily, Neville responded to my phone call looking for a quote within 15 minutes.  Sent a couple pictures of the light we needed installed and the location, and he gave me a quote and availability right away.  Easy, polite, wonderful.  

Neville stayed in touch throughout the day with text updates on when our electrician, Johnny, would arrive.  He was right on time, courteous, friendly, and a great technician.  He patiently dealt with my requests to see the light at various cord lengths, and finished the project in no more than ten minutes.  Apparently the bulb I purchased was not compatible with the dimmer switch for the light, and he quickly diagnosed and fixed the problem.

Johnny's a great guy and a great electrician, and Neville was responsive, polite, and professional throughout the whole process.  I would highly highly recommend these guys for any home project.  I will definitely hire them again.  

Thanks Johnny and Neville!!

We hired Kinetic Energy in January, 2016 to install a new light fixture in the ceiling of the entry foyer of our house, and to deal with the old knob and tube wiring that was connected to the old light fixture. That kind of wiring was commonly installed in old houses like ours (about 110 year old). It is insulated with rubberized cloth. As a result, the crew had to replace it not only where it connected to the ceiing light fixture, but also to other outlets that connected to the same breaker (including the ceiling light over the front porch).

Kinetic's owner, Ted, is friendly, candid and experienced with working in old homes.  He got the permit and arranged for the two later inspections (rough and final). The Oak Park electrical inspector promptly approved the work when it was done,

    His friendly crew members generally arrived on time, and worked steadily. Because they had to cut holes in the foyer ceiling made of drywall, the work generated dust. As a result, the crew each day covered the  floor with a tarp and put up plastic sheeting over the entry to the living room from the foyer. They cleaned up well at the end of each workday, which we greatly appreciated. The crew also liked Ted. He had recently bought for them sturdy red jackets which had battery operated warmers - especially nice for any outdoor work they did in the winter.

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.

Outstanding customer service!  I needed same day service at my home.  While the Fixer could not come that day, they gave me the names and numbers of other reputable electricians in the area.  I was really impressed with their helpful service, and I would certainly come back to them.  They deserve to be the top of the Yelp list.
