Best Electricians in Illinois

Stefan was fantastic from start to finish. What impressed me most is his attention to communication. Whenever I had a question about the work to be done prior to his arrival, he responded by text within 2 minutes. I never felt left in the dark. As he was completing the work, which was not straightforward and resulted in a need to change course, he was exuded confidence that everything would work out. There was no whining or complaining. He is so very pleasant and I would not hesitate to call him if you need electrical work. I am happy to have found someone like Stefan who is reliable and competent!

Darrell made time to come out for a free estimate at short notice. He's quick to respond, highly knowledgeable, and genuine! My new go-to for sure.

Rodrigo, the electrician, arrived promptly and was very pleasant, helpful, and knowledgeable. I had 2 recessed lights that were not working. He was able to fix one while here, and for the other, he will have to order a part and return. The cost was very reasonable and the whole experience a good one.

Ted was great! He promptly responded to my initial inquiry and came out within days to install a new external outlet for us. He was nice, and on time, and most importantly he charged us an honest and reasonable price... unlike some other electricians we have hired. We will definitely be using him again for other projects! Highly recommend!

Joe put in a 220 line for me which someone else said would be a problem. Joe figured it out and had the job completed in 2 hours. I definitely recommend him.

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

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!!

Ryan is kind of a genius of electrical stuff. He fixed my kitchen outlets (1/2 my house plugs didn't work) and added light fixtures.  I plan on hiring him again.

FYI: when my kitchen outlets weren't working, I had another well-rated company come here.  They quoted me $4500, and I'm still not sure if they actually figured out what was wrong.  Ryan came and fixed the issue for much less and way quicker.

I was very impressed with the service and professionalism. The Electrician, Juve, was on time as per prior planned appointment and worked hard.

He got straight to work and found the problem immediately. I used to use neighborhood electricians that were independent and friends but they all retired or their kids who they handed down the business to retired and the next generation didn't continue the business. I am lucky that I found this company. I am definitely going to recommend them to friends and family and will use them in the future as needed

Electricians are expensive to begin with but they are very reasonably priced for electricians and safety is the most important thing in electrical work and they take safety seriously and inform you what is the best way to keep things safe

I am extremely satisfied and am grateful that this company is out there

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

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.

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!

We were very pleased with Blacklite Electric's service and would recommend this company for any projects (Large or small).  Neville was professional, a knowledgeable electrician, arrived on-time, and very polite.  We would definitely use them again, if we have any other electrical problems.  Below is a list of electrical issues we had and was fixed by Neville in a couple of hours.  He also provided an estimate the next day on other issues that was not a priority to fix at the time.  

1) Ceiling fan switch not working properly. It would turn on when it wanted to??

2) Wall sconce light fixture. Same issue, it would turn on when it wanted to??

They came out, explained what they were going to do to diagnose the problem I had (no power in garage), located the issue quickly, and corrected it.  Fast, friendly, knowledgeable.  I selected them for the 5 stars on Yelp, and I am very pleased to add to the list of 5-star reviews.  I wish more interactions were like this one.  Highly recommended.

I recently hired this electrician to install a Ring doorbell in my home and I couldn't be happier with his work! He was very professional, promptly arrived on time, and was able to install the device quickly without any problems. He even took the time to explain how the doorbell works and answer any questions I had. The installation itself was seamless and the doorbell works perfectly. I truly appreciate his attention to detail and dedication to providing top-notch service. I would highly recommend this electrician to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled professional. Top-notch service and a true 5-star experience! Thank you, Tom!

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.

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.

Fixer is amazing.  They can do anything, and always do it well with a smile!!  I so very much appreciate having help with things I can't do or don't think I can do well ... And I know that it will be a job well done.
