Best Electricians in Illinois

Stefan did a great job in installing our chandeliers and doing small switch fixes. He explained the problems well wherever we had any complex issue, and gave offered good solutions as well.

I'd highly recommend Stefan to anyone getting electrical work done

Absolutely fantastic company.  I called Darrell yesterday evening about issue with my electric outlets in my garage.  He sent Enis the next morning and the issue was resolved in 20 minutes.  Enis was thorough, polite and got the job done!! They were professional, on time, followed all Covid requirements and made my life easier.  I would highly recommend Sims and Sons for any future needs or issues.

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.

Outstanding father and son duo. Arrived early, got right to work, respected our home, found the problem and completed the work in a little over an hour. /the price was right for the work he had to do and we now have a fixed attic fan!!! Can't say enough good about Ted and his son. They are wonderful.

Called wire nuts last night and he was at our house the next day. In short order he had our problem, diagnosed and fixed. Would recommend him for your electrical needs.

Chris is very responsive, honest and good at what he does. He is the person to call for quick and easy fixes - he says he specializes in service calls (installing light fixtures, troubleshooting things around your house). Definitely give him a call, he'll take care of your project quickly and professionally.

Master bedroom lights/outlets weren't working so Greenline came out within a hour on a Friday night to help us out! Fixed the problem quickly for a great price. Had so many Electrition's flake/keep rescheduling but Greenline was honest and kept their word. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Highly recommend Ryan.  He is responsive, skilled, friendly, and reasonably priced.

I had a malfunctioning outdoor light fixture.  Ryan came the same day as my call, diagnosed the problem, and fixed it quickly.  He was very friendly and we had a nice chat about life as he worked.  He is a breath of fresh air in a world where dealing with contractors is generally pretty darn irritating.

I had a handful of projects that the team at Highlights addressed. They were AMAZING - punctual, professional and friendly. I'm really grateful I was able to work with them and my home is better for 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

I used tweaks & finishes to help me install some outlets and light switches in various parts of my home. They were fast, professional and reliable. Quick replies to all text messages and good communication overall. I would recommend to others!

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 did a great job repairing an issue we had at our condo in Lakeview.  We first reached out over yelp to describe our project, and were able to set up an appointment for the next day.  Pricing structure was fair and well communicated, and payment was easy through Venmo.

Overall, we are very satisfied with the work we had done.  Blacklite did a great job and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking to have electrical work done.

We turned to Kinetic Energy a couple years ago on the recommendation of a neighbor, after another electrician did some inadequate work.  They're now the only electricians we'll work with.  They have installed lights and ceiling fans and wired our 1914 house for ethernet.  

Recently we had a couple scary incidents with the old cloth-covered wires... what seemed like shorts in two different spots in the house.  They showed up same-day to fix everything, and took extra time to explain to us what had happened.  It's a relief to know we're safe in our house!

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!

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.

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.

I have used Fixer twice for various jobs around my new home. I had two Fixers come each time, and each time I found the Fixers to be easygoing and pleasant to work with. However, I have found the work quality to be hit or miss (I had to have a job done by the first set of Fixers re-done by the second set of Fixers) and I struggle with the business model. Because they charge by the hour, there doesn't always seem to be a real incentive to work quickly. The second go-round, I was initially charged over $900 for, essentially, hanging towel bars, hanging pictures, and installing several plant hooks in the ceiling.

Second, most things are automated and you have to be careful about the billing process. The first time I used them I was sent a bill for a service that wasn't performed because the Fixers were running behind and ended up not being able to do the work that day. Still, I received a bill. The second time, I received a bill that was not adjusted for the picture frame one of my Fixers inadvertently broke after she hung it incorrectly. Both times, the issues were resolved after I emailed and texted with the company (phone calls don't even seem to be an option), but if I'd had a credit card on file, I assume I would have just been charged automatically, and I had to be proactive about addressing problems that weren't of my making.

I appreciate the convenience of the service and I'm willing to pay a bit more for a company that pays its people well--assuming that's what it does. But between the excessive expense and the various issues I've had with billing, workmanship, and timeliness, there won't be a third try for me. Good luck ya'll.
