Best Electricians in Illinois
I can't recommend Alltown Electric enough. I called Alltown a few months ago and left a voicemail. When I got chatting to Noel the same day, he said he would stop by on his way home to fit my chandelier. While he was here, he also fixed an outlet for me that was tripping and gave me some longer screws I would need for another DIY job I was working on. He was so helpful and so genuine. I'll definitely call him for any electric projects going forward and I've recommended him to all my family. Find a good tradesperson and you're set. I'm glad I found a great electrician!!

I hired Advance Electric to run underground electric out to the detached garage in the new house we just bought. The previous owner built a new garage but they never installed electric. They did a great job. Permit, trench, ran the conduit, installed interior lights, workshop light and various outlets for the garage door opener, tools, etc. The work was inspected by the city and was immediately approved. They were prompt, professional and easy to communicate with. Highly recommended.

Victor was very responsive when I reached out to him on a Friday night via Yelp. He was able to come out to my place the next day (on a Saturday!), and he fixed my electrical problem effectively--and at a very reasonable price.
I would recommend him and his company to anyone in need of electrical help!

We wanted the job done professionally and done right the FIRST time, so we hired Peter's company. My husband had used his services before in his old co-op building, and knew we could count on him. His men came over and very efficiently in one afternoon fixed a variety of problems in our rehabbed condo, such as installing new outlets and updating the closet lights up to code. We were not disappointed!

Needed someone to install a GFCI outlet to comply with a home inspection. Called Aardvark and the owner told me he had someone in the area and they arrived within an hour. Price was very reasonable. Will definitely use this company in the future for electric work.

Met with an electrician for a consult regarding Tesla Charger installation on 2/8. I have a 200A main that also feeds two subpanels - one in garage and one in basement. I also have a NEMA 6-50 outlet installed on a 40A circuit in the garage subpanel.
Electrician felt that garage subpanel would be overloaded (which is correct). However, he also insisted that code dictated the charger be fed via direct line to the main. That afternoon I spoke with the individual overseeing permits for my village and he confirmed that is not the case.
When I bought this up to the electrician he said he'd reach out to the inspector. A few days went by so I called and was directed to send an e-mail. Electrician replied Monday morning that he was still waiting to hear back from the inspector. E-mailed back asking for a timeframe - no response.
I called the office - office manager said to e-mail. Called the next day and left message with answering service to call back ASAP - no call back. Called the day after and spoke with same office manager - 'I'm sorry but everyone is out at a meeting so you're going to have to continue to wait.' 'Well I've been waiting a long time, is there someone else I can talk to?' 'No everyone is at the meeting.' 'Can I talk to the owner?' 'Maybe - he only comes in every so often, I can't guarantee when you'll hear back.'
Today, Jim (president of the company) e-mailed me with the estimate for the electrician's original plans - no apology for the delay, no phone call to try to develop a rapport, no confirmation that the inspector had or had not been reached. Just 'here's the estimate.'
It's clear the lack of customer service comes from the top.

I did try to keep my word and hired them the first opportunity I got. Unfortunately, there was a situation with the part coming in two weeks later after a handyman tried to fix it on his own. By the time the part came, they couldn't do a same-day repair (that was the prior ETA). And then the day they were set to come, they needed two more hours because of a complication at another home. Things happen. This was a repair I needed completed a MONTH before, so I just couldn't wait four more days (after the holiday). Still though, Jeanette was really patient, responded immediately and tried to explain the situation. I still give them credit for great customer service and saving me money with the other scenario (broken light switch). I just never got to actually get a technician out here due to time complications. Maybe next time!

Out of 7 Companies the only one who could come on that Day. A bit high, but the price is displayed on the web site. On time and in and out in 30 minutes. Very nice . I would hire again

We needed our old smoke detector fixed. Volodymyr was quick, straightforward, and professional. He also replied to messages within a reasonable time frame. Highly recommend!

I needed my electric panel replaced to close on my condo. The pressure was on and I needed help fast. After 3 weeks with nothing done from the first company I was more then upset.
I researched and called LMV. The ratings were high!
I called and spoke to the secretary , Maggie ,and she had Lucus out in 2 hours. After 3 hours the wrote a proposal and was sent to me.
I signed and they did everything that was needed for the Village of Mount Prospect and my HOA to approve me.
The whole project was scheduled , passed by the Village and approved in a few days!
Wow, LMV is the best ever!!
Excellent in every way ! I can't thank them enough .. outstanding company ..

I contacted Mr Vilano for Electrical inspection for one of the apartment buildings I manage. He is very thorough and knowledgeable. I have recommended Vilano Electric to all my friends and business associates. I look forward to continuing to work with Mr Vilano.

I am 8 months pregnant and wanted to fix some minor electrical issues before the little one arrives. I had limited knowledge of our issues, but was told they needed to be fixed from our building inspector when we were buying the place. I saw Todd's reviews on Angie's List and a week later he was at my door. He is knowledgeable, friendly, and honest. What more could you want? He also didn't make me feel silly for not completely knowing/understanding what my issues were. My home feels safer now that he's been here and fixed those issues. He's definitely my go-to guy in the future for any electrical needs.

Great handyman! Prompt communication, polite and skillful. Mo did a great job, from now on he is my go-to for any project around my building.

I am amazed that I am the first person to review this company. Any one who owns property knows how wonderful (and difficult) it is to find a professional, reliable, funny, and super friendly electrician/plumber/contractor/handyman. Well, with Ed, I found The One. He's just fantastic in every way. I recently hired him to repair the doorbells at my two-flat and, as always, he was reasonably priced and available that day. I've used Ed before for some minor electrical work, and this time was no different. He quickly diagnoses the problem, gets it fixed, he's a pleasure to chat with (he has that dry sense of humor that I love), and his prices are very fair (I never feel jipped when he leaves...in fact, I typically think that's it?). I highly recommend Ed for all of your electrical needs. You will be extremely pleased with his services and your wallet won't be empty:-)

AM&L was referred by my Oak Park based Plumber. I spoke with the owner, Steve. AM&L installed an exhaust bathroom fan/heater/light combo unit. My house is 121 year old Oak Park Victorian. Dave, the electrician and his assistant worked diligently through a few challenges over a two day period to run the wires - all inside from the basement floor circuit box to the second floor. AML was very reliable, consistently followed Covid protocol and did an outstanding job. The best electrician I have hired in my 28 years in Oak Park. Highly recommended!

My garage door wasn't working and it was determined the cause was a problematic electrical connection. Cal repaired the problem and explained it clearly. He got the job done for less than the original estimate. I feel this company is honest and handled my issue in a prompt and professional manner. I plan to use Alternating Currents again for any future electrical concerns.
