Best Electricians in Illinois

I had an issue last week where I had partial power in my apartment. Stefan was very responsive and was able to come the very next day. He arrived on time and was very helpful and professional. He walked me through options on what we could potentially do as a fix. In the end, he was able to fix the issue without it being a huge expense which was amazing and I was very thankful for. I am still going to consider a more long term fix that Stefan suggested, and would definitely use him for that work as well.

Excellent experience using this company. They were able to come same day, even though they were busy. Christian and Ramaro were thorough, patient and did a great job explaining the issues and alleviating safety concerns. Would definitely use again.

From price quote to the actual work, T&D electrical was very responsive and knowledgeable. The project we needed help with was to install three ceiling fixtures (including taking down old ones) and replacing two smoke detectors. The staff (Shaina) who helped me with price estimate and scheduling was very good at confirming what's provided vs needed. She also helped manage COI quickly as our HOA requires it for all contractor works. Rodrigo was the electrician who came to our place and did the work. He was very respectful and knowledgeable - he answered my questions patiently and helped provide some tips on replacing halogen bulbs for track lights with LED bulbs. Overall the experience working with T&D electrical was great, and I highly recommend them!

Did great work at a fair price. Did exactly what he promised to. Finished the project on time. I recommend him to family members and would definitely use again.

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.

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

Edward and his crew had been exceptional.  They worked on our investment property to bring all electrical issues to code compliance.  I can't say enough about Edward, he is honest, goes the extra mile to make sure everything is completed with promptness.   He understood our deadlines and needs, he made it work no matter how challenged he was.   Greenline Electric is very reasonably priced and provided a very fair estimate.   Edward puts his customers first and did not fear the many challenges he was faced with.  Edward is knowledgeable about his work, keeps customers well informed,  professional and an absolute delight to work with.  I would highly recommend Edward and Greenline Electric for all your electrical needs.  

Thank you Edward!

Ryan hung a ceiling fan that I was unable to hang safely and had given up -- though I'd successfully hung the exact model in another room in the house.  He's a creative problem solver, and we carried on an interesting conversation as he worked.  Final cost was LESS than he estimated.

A couple of years back, I had the worst customer service with an electricity company and ended up contacting Highlights Chicago as an afterthought. I ALWAYS THINK ABOUT HOW I LUCKED OUT WITH THAT! Thank goodness for terrible service because I don't think I would've kept going down my list of contractors to call Highlights Chicago. I have consistently been hiring Highlights Chicago ever since. I'm no longer on the condo board, but when I needed an electrical job done on my own dime, I insisted on hiring them.

Even when my insurance company contacted me with a deductible rate and getting estimates from a few companies, I contacted one! I didn't get a response for a couple of days, so I blew up their phone calling and left a message. I didn't care what anybody else's estimate I was. I have hired them at least four times and know I can count on their work. (I've worked with at least five different guys. There was one guy who was a little snippy but did a good job on electric work. I asked for him to not return, but 99% of the time, I like the rest and would be happy to see them again.)

I didn't know the two guys who were at my front door this time though. I felt bad because I'd stopped to grab something to eat while running errands and was about 15 minutes late for their pickup window. Jogging back with my dog, I was relieved that they didn't leave. Both guys (my apologies because although one of them nailed my name, I forgot to ask for theirs) were informative, polite, professional, worked quickly and both helped me carry out the items that were removed. When I bluntly asked whether it was worth replacing the items or removing them, their answer was in alignment with safety versus just making more money. THAT WOULD MAKE ME HIRE HC EVEN QUICKER and request those two guys again.

And as is ALWAYS the case, Kemal was there to help me through service and pricing the whole time. Love this team. Can't say enough kind things about them. And they were half the price of my deductible, so money was saved and the insurance claim wasn't needed. Win win!

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

After attempting to install a new light fixture myself I ran into an electrical road block.  Jose of Tweaks & Finishes responded promptly to my request for an estimate, and scheduled the service call for the same day!  Jose, accompanied by Rodney arrived on time, and treated me and my home with such care and respect.  Jose was extremely knowledgeable, and quickly diagnosed my electrical problem-explaining the issue(s) found along the way.  A quick replacement of a burnt out dimmer switch restored my lighting, and mended the mess I created. Jose and Rodney also cleaned up the wires behind my many wall switches which they found to be a safety hazard, and installed my new ceiling light-all at a reasonable price within my budget.  Both gentlemen were kind, professional, and mindful-cleaning up after any small mess that was made.  I am thankful to have found Tweaks & Finishes, I am looking forward to using them again in the future for a painting project. Many thanks to Jose and Rodney!

Recently used Urban Power to have third panel installed at my 2 flat in Logan Square and the needed infrastructure installed to house a new third meter.  I found Jake to be easy to work with. I feel all work was completed satisfactorily and in a timely manner.  I also felt the pricing was fair compared to other quotes I received.  I felt some of the other quotes I received, the companies were trying to over sell me.  Jake quoted the proper materials need to get the job done.  I would gladly use Jake again in the future and recommend him.

Neville was super quick to respond and very clear about cost.  Johnny was punctual, reliable, and did a great job.  Will definitely continue to use their services in the future!

Absolutely great company to deal with from initial quote, consultation, customer service and installation point of view. The entire team was a pleasure to deal with, and communicated throughout the process for install, permits, and inspections. We had some new power sockets installed for our laundry area and the job was very neat and smooth. Would highly recommend and will be working with Kinetic again in the future!

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!

Outstanding very communicative on time reliable all above in every category.  Always answers always explains what is needled and why

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.

The Fixer sent Jeff to look at and assess replacement of an access door in my condo.Once there, I asked him to assemble a box spring and hang my TV . I was out of town when the work was performed. Jeff came as promised and contacted me. He was a clear communicator, accessed the price and completed the job. He texted the finish photos.
They have a user friendly web sight where you can see the details of your job and pay your Bill. They charge 119. Per hour. If you have them out only to assess the job, it is 119. If you use them , the money goes towards completion of the job.
I would definitely use them again, prompt, friendly and professional.
