Best Electricians in Illinois

We used Howard to have out house rewired. It was built in the late 40's and had old wrapped electrical wires throughout. Howard was great and also added in some additional outlets. We were having our kitchen redone too and he worked with the GC on outlet placement.

We have a tankless water heater and it stopped working last Tuesday night.  I called over 10 places, one said they could be here Wednesday before 5pm.  No call no show.  On Thursday I called Little Tommy Plumbing who sent over Josh to fix the equipment.  Josh showed up on time, assessed the situation and had to order a special part.  It was overnighted and received late Friday night.  Yesterday, Monday, Josh showed up and replaced the part and quess who was in the shower before the plumber was out of the driveway.

We hired Goran to correct some code violations in my mom's older home, replacing outlets with 3-prong and GFCI and adding some additional outlets in the garage. The same day I called he came and did a free estimate. His work was quick and efficient and he did not charge more than his original estimate even though I had under counted the number of outlets that needed replacing. He is easy to work with and we thought his work was excellent. We are going to need more work done and will definitely be calling him. You will not go wrong by hiring Goran.
(Note: He is listed on DexKnows as Kutlich Electrical Services if you want to read more reviews)

After searching for electricians I found small tyme Electric emailed Norh and we were so happy we made the right choice. After emailing back and forth he was very understanding, Although I knew nothing about electricity. He was very patient and was accurate with the pricing. We appreciate the great work he did and how quick it was done. We will highly recommend for any future electrical needs. Thank you!

I had a relatively small job installing a 220 line at my place of business. Frank knew exactly what the various options were and spent a generous amount of time going over them with me, ever mindful of my budgeting.

I'm glad to have found a local independent contractor for future electrical services.

Sent a message to the owner late last night and got back to me early this morning...had a team come out before lunch and they solved our issue quickly!  They were priced right and communication was awesome from the owner and team.

We have some new fixtures coming up for replacement and want to add a spotlight in the backyard...I will be coming here first and see if they can help me!

Very professional and would suggest you call Scott first!

A Reliable Electrician

We had a long-standing problem with some puck lights. Michael Gordon from MPG Electric was the third electrician to look at these lights. He was the first one to look into every aspect of the situation. He found several technical problems with the original installation. Why the previous electricians missed the obvious, we'll never know. Michael fixed what he could with the spare parts we had lying around. Then he left with a list of replacement parts he would need to get the job done properly. A week or so later, he returned and put everything in order. For the first time, we have lights that work. I expect that they will continue to work for years in the future.

I was referred to Michael by Crest Lighting, a very reliable source. He is a properly licensed and insured electrician. He arrived on time, despite the difficult parking situation in Lincoln Park. When he finished, we were satisfied to the point that I gave Michael's business card to our property manager. We live in a 40 story high rise. A lot of us need electricians from time to time. I would recommend Michael Gordon to anyone who needs a reliable electrician

(On a personal note, I have to say that it really was a pleasure meeting this man. From the moment he walked through the door, we had a sense that things were going to go well. We were right.)

Punctual and professional. Got my quote over Google from him. He prices competitively and works efficiently. Great work! Will definitely be getting work done from him in the future!

Buying a backup electric generator is expensive insurance. If you've decided that you need to keep Ur sump pump, fridge and some other appliance running during a power outage, then call Penco Electric to do the job. I have yet to find a team of trades work so well on a project. It took all day to complete the job, but they still had time to clean the area, review the unit operation and meet the village inspection to follow. Satisfied with the whole project from the sales effort, office contact and that the owner came to check the job.

Chris was responsive in coming out to review and provided a quote in a timely manner for painting most of the interior of our home. They painted everything (ceilings, walls, and trim) for most of our living area. They also completed numerous repairs to drywall and replaced some lights. I would definitely recommend.

Carlos did a great job changing the bathroom fan! Excellent job on the many past jobs too.

We made an appointment for an estimate and nobody showed up. I called and only received voicemail and nobody returned my calls. Based upon other more positive reviews, I was disappointed in the unprofessional treatment.

Never received a receipt. Sent a text asking for a receipt and never got a response. Do yourself a favor and choose a vendor who will provide a receipt. ***Update *** received the receipt after this review was posted.

Very sad to leave this review. My request was to 1) replace a lighting fixture in the bathroom 2) troubleshoot the exhaust fan 3) to put in a microwave outlet over the range in the kitchen. He quoted me $285 for the work.

I chatted with Brian on the phone and he was very personable, straight-forward, and seemed to know what the job entailed. He said he needed to make an initial appointment to assess what tools he would need (for which he wanted $100) and then another appointment would be made a few days later (for which he wanted $185).

He came for the initial appointment, and during the second appointment - he installed an outlet for the microwave by putting a wall outlet BELOW the cabinets in the kitchen. I was not there to supervise his work, and intuition tells me that the previous ones I've seen are INSIDE the cabinet. When I was sent the photo of his work, I thought that didn't seem correct, but I assumed that he was the professional and knew what he was doing.

After this second appointment, he asked me which light fixture in the bathroom needed to be changed and said he needed a ladder for the bathroom light fixture and had to make a third appointment to install it. He also said it would be an addition $75 for the exhaust fan. I'm not sure why these issues were not brought up after the first visit.

For the third appointment, we had scheduled him and when the day came, he said he had a different day on his calendar, which did not work for us, so we had to schedule another day. During this time, a contractor saw his electrical work and said the microwave outlet was WRONG. To verify I sent the photo of the microwave outlet to an appliance installer and he said it was extremely wrong and that any professional electrician should know that the outlet goes INSIDE the cabinet. The contractor quoted me $325 to fix Brian's work.

My husband called Brian to tell him to not come for the third appointment, since we felt like we no longer trusted his work. To his credit, he said he would come and fix the microwave outlet and rectify his mistake, but my husband and I told him we were concerned that he did it so wrong the first time. We didn't want him to do any further work. My husband requested a refund and said we would post a 1 star review if we were not refunded. Brian blamed the mistake on the fact that we were not there to supervise his work (my tenant / friend let him in). Brian said he did not appreciate the threat, was very short with my husband and hung up the phone on him.

This is not written to be vindictive or to cheat someone out of money. Far from it. The job was done incorrectly. He was not prepared to complete the job within two visits as first quoted. He did not clarify the appropriate questions after the first visit and wasted his time and ours by having to schedule a third appointment. He did not own his accountability in his mistake and was not willing to be an honest businessperson and refund a dissatisfied customer in a job that was done extremely wrong.

I hadn't previously googled over the range microwave outlet before hiring Brian. I didn't assume that hiring a professional would require me to Google and send the professional a diagram of exactly what to do, but I found zero images of microwave outlets that were what Brian did.

I wanted to work with Brian due to his positive reviews and positive record of work, but this was a very negative experience. I'm currently working with a number of contractors who do not have these issues of incomplete, wrong work, lack of preparedness, and lack of courteousness. It makes me very sad to write this review, but the fact is this job was handled very poorly.

Very fair pricing and prompt, efficient service.  The owner, Tom Peck, is great to deal with.  He does a great job in a fast and efficient manner.
