Best Electricians in Illinois

Stephan was great from beginning to end of job.  I had a last minute rush job to do in my upstairs. Stephan was quick to reply,  reasonable with his estimate,  communicative throughout the day. Job was done quick, professionally, and cleaned up afterward.
Moving to a new home in January,  and Stephan will be my go to for our needs when they arise.

I hired Sims & Sons for some electrical repairs in October, including replacement of interior and exterior light fixtures and replacement of interior and exterior outlets.  The technicians, Anel and Daryl arrived on time, provided a quote, and were able to complete the repairs the same day.  I would recommend Sims and would hire them again.

WOW outstanding doenst even begin to describe the professional work these guys do.

Our main circuit breaker panel short circuited from water damage and we were out of power for a couple days during very cold weather.

I called Marcus and he had a team at our house on Monday (a holiday) and they replaced everything and had our power up and running in less than 8 hours.  They were on time professional polite and cleaned up after themselves.

Marcus came out with them to start the job made sure they had everything they needed and then came and inspected all of their work when they were done.  

I cannot express how impressed I was with the entire experience.  We were quoted $1200 more by the first electrician our warranty company sent out and a 2-3 day completion for less work.  He was not professional and had his son with him and made me very uncomfortable.

I am so glad I called Marcus. Great communication and fair pricing.

We are having him also remodel our basement we are so happy with his work.

Thank You Marcus!!

Quick response, great service.  I would not hesitate to reach out to him again for other projects.

Fast efficient knowledgeable service and fair price. Can't beat that!

Christian was responsive and professional. He fixed the issue quickly and within 24 hours of requesting the quote on Yelp.

All around great first time experience. I called on a cold snowy night and the owner had someone (Leeroy) out to me within a couple of hours. Leeroy was great, and fixed my issue with my outdoor GFCI outlet almost instantly. So thankful to have a great electrician in my phonebook now!

Ryan was great to work with. He was on time and very transparent on what he was doing and what the cost would be. Furthermore he had me inspect the work afterwards to make sure I was satisfied. I will definitely be working with Ryan again in the future.

I've used Highlights for two projects at my home.  I couldn't have had a better experience both times.  We had Jimmy as our lead tech for both jobs.  Both times we were provided a fair quote, quick and professional work.  Boz and Kamal in their office are great as well! Earlier this year they replaced a kitchen light fixture, dinning room light fixture, and repaired a garage light.  On this visit they repaired a doorbell connection and replaced the existing bell with a new bell.  I would  very much recommend them for future electrical work.

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

A great experience!

Jose from Tweaks & Finishes was very quick to reply to communications and then to submit his bid.

He priced the job very competitively, scheduled it for later that day, arrived a few minutes early.

He unpacked and installed the fixture correctly, carefully, and even requested my confirmation of approval (placement, pendant light height, etc.) at each step.

He worked cleanly, fast, was 100% competent, and very friendly the whole time.

No surprises or disappointments.

Really an exceptional experience.

Highly recommend Jake and his team for electrical projects large and small. Early on during COVID he installed a new outlet so we could relocate a desk and while there provided some options for adding light to our dimly lit basement. We finally contacted him for the basement work and he responded right away and was able to come within a few days. The basement looks fantastic and Jake went out of his way making multiple trips to stores looking for hard to find parts. Fair prices and high quality work!

Wrote for an estimate and he helped me with the problem without even coming out- anyone who would give simple advice rather than trying to squeeze $150 or more out is someone I will definitely call next time I have an issue!

I would give Dan from Kinetic Energy 5 stars but the business as a whole 3-4 stars. Dan was a pleasure to work with. He is extremely efficient and his work is very clean and presentable. I was not too impressed with the proposal process. Multiple items were missed resulting in our house not passing the city building inspection. It will cost an extra $1,500 more then initially quoted (I didn't know this till the 1st job was completed and the city said we didn't pass inspection). It was not a pleasant surprise when when you have already spent thousands. Just be aware the price on the proposal might not be all you have to pay.

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.

Ted changed out fixtures throughout our house, including a difficult chandelier in our dining room. He also fixed a hot outlet and looked at our garage electrical. He was on time, fairly priced, and did great work. We'll be using him again.

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.

I've hired thru Fixer twice already, each time involving multiple jobs (including light electrical). In both instances, Fixer was very responsive to my online requests for quotes and schedules. The handy persons sent were extremely professional, friendly and honest. Great work results both times. They skew towards the higher end of rates, but both handy people spoke well of the Company, which says a lot these days. I definitely will use them again and recommend them to others.
