Best Electricians in Illinois

I've been calling on Howard for electrical repairs in my home and condo association for years now. He's prompt, clever, sympathetic, persistent and trustworthy. He'll be totally up front with you about problems and stick with the job until it's finished.

Today I called him about a horrible grinding noise near my breaker panel that had kept me awake all night and been recurring every 5 minutes. He moved his schedule around to get to me within the hour! It took him an additional hour on site to ferret out the source, which wasn't coming from within my condo but from 3 stories down via the conduits. He methodically eliminated every possible cause and explored every avenue to avoid knocking into my walls.

He was also great about coming and going carefully once he realized that my cat likes to bolt out the door.

Totally worth digging out the checkbook for this guy.

Wow, efficient and a fair price....okay, fair for the North shore. I've finally found my electrician.

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)

Norh was so wonderful to work with! He responded very quickly, gave us a clear estimate, talked us through each aspect, and then went above and beyond to complete our major project. Will definitely use again and highly recommend!

Frank maintained a clear line of communication via phone calls and texts throughout the estimation and scheduling process. I found him to be polite, professional, and competent. I had him install a new outlet for an over the range microwave and had him swap out an old two prong outlet with a 3 prong. Great honest service from someone who is dedicated and hard working - not easy to find these days.

I rarely post reviews but had to. Their add said the average callback is 10 minutes. They called me in 8. I had three lights installed outside then had an outlet added to my home. The crew that did the work was on time, professional, knowledgeable, and provided great service. The prices were very reasonable. I found them in Google but added them to my contacts. I will be calling them back with more work.

We have a new go-to electrician. Mike is extremely responsive and detailed in his communications. He agreed to help install a new light switch for my elderly aunts. (It turns out, they are neighbors!) Unbeknownst to me, a caregiver fixed the light before Mike even got there for the appointment. Instead of being annoyed, he double-checked the work and made a change to make sure it was safe. He did not take any money from my aunts, and instead gave them a card and reassured them if they had questions or problems, they could call him. Kind, honest, conscientious and detail-oriented. Thank you, Mike!!

Honest. Good in Troubleshooting.

He corrected the ground and open neutral on multiple sockets. Then installed self grounded GFCI outlets on all.

I got the parts in advance, replaced some 10 outlets and added wall plates on my own. The remaining 20 outlets are rusted, and some even broke when i tried to remove it. So i hired the electrician.

I purchased plenty of outlets and confirmed that they are the right ones prior to appointment. The wall plates, i installed them myself once the electrician installed the sockets.

Penco has been a great service. I've utilized them for some small jobs and they have been great in terms of pricing and they use a modern paperless invoice and payment system to simplify the process.

I had Jamie and Adrian install a ceiling fan and do a few other things I wasn't able to do myself. They arrived on time and completed work without problems. Very kind and professional. Will definitely use them again.

Highly recommend this company. I had a faulty circuit breaker leave us without power to our coffee bar and bathroom. They were out early the next morning to fix it and also switched out a faulty GFI outlet. They knew what they were doing, were prompt and professional. I'm so glad my home warranty referred me to them. Will definitely call out again for any electrical problems I need fixed.

We called for an electrical short that kept setting off the circuit breaker. After 4 days of dealing with another company that had a different story everyday. We called Sam and he solved our problem in a couple of hours for a reasonable price.
He knows his electricity very well.
I would recommend him for any electrical work needed.
He is now our go to guy.
Thank you very much

Eddie Morales  the Supervising Electrician was very professional. He was polite . Mr Mighty Electric upgraded my brakes box put in some new lines and added a ground line for the whole building. They' did excellent work . They cleaned up and came well equipped.  They ordered a permit and make sure the City of Chicago Inspector came out to inspect their work and sign off for work well done.

On top of all this excellent work their prices were very reasonable.

I will continue to do repeat business with Mr Mighty Electric

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.
