Best Electricians in Illinois

Howard is the REAL DEAL.

I needed some major electrical work done on my new (older) home, and had several electricians come in to give me an estimate.  As i mentioned, this was no small job, the house was still wired to a fuse box from the '50s, so hopefully you can imagine what kind of undertaking this was.

Out of all the estimates I received, the thing that stuck out about Howard was his attitude.  While the other 3 electrician's (who I found on Yelp) gave me long-winded, repetitive, and overly salesy pitches; Howard gave it to me straight.  He told me what needed to be done, asked what I wanted to address, informed me how many days the job would potentially take, and then he left.  no nonsense.  no drama.  no BS.

After considering all the other estimates, I chose to move forward with Howard and let me tell you I made the right choice.  Everything I asked for was completed per my original request.  The price was competitive, yet reasonable.  The job was completed on time without any problems.  What more could you want from your electrician.

If you want to be coddled by your electrician, then look elsewhere.
If you want to be 'scared' into getting more work done, then look elsewhere.
If you want to overpay for your electrical work, then look elswhere.

BUT

If you want an experienced electrician who will LISTEN to you, give you a fair deal, and complete the job successfully, then Howard is your guy.

*** if you leave him an email/voicemail, and he doesn't follow-up right away, don't get discouraged.  Howard is a very busy guy and is always out on a job- be patient!  He WILL get back to you.

Great company! We had them do a couple jobs for us and they really so outstanding work! Prices are reasonable and the people are great to work with. We will be using them again!!!

Goran arrived on time, identified and addressed the issue while on site, and had the best rates of anyone we found in our service area. Two thumbs up!

Where do I even start - North did such a great job! I own a home that was built in 1913 and everything electrical is always a challenge.  North was able to fix a light connection that was not functioning, add lighting to the back hallway (switches were not in functioning order), and add a new switch so that we could finally use our outdoor light without having to disturb our first unit tenants.  He loves what he does and it shows.  North is a very nice guy who will try to figure out ways to save his customers money and still do an Excellent job.  Great guy, reasonable prices, excellent work!  Thank you North!

Frank is an electrician that is reliable, resourceful and truly cares about his customers. As. Realtors, Frank is one of our preferred vendors which means we know that he will take care of our clients at any level of electrical need. We do not hesitate to refer Frank for any project. His knowledge of his business is a great asset and comfort. He does what is best for his clients, not his pockets. His rates are competitive and he goes above and beyond the call of duty. On a personal level, Frank has worked on several electrical projects for us in multiple homes and we are completely satisfied every time!

I'm electrified!  Hire Scott Nelson Electric if you want knowledgeable contractors who are polite and show up on time.

I hired Scott Nelson Electric (found by doing a web search) to install pendant lighting above a butler bar / island in my kitchen. There was no existing electrical there so, they needed to run electrical to existing switches and cut a hole for the electrical box.

I could not be happier with the work. Everything that was discussed while scheduling was what actually happened on site, nothing unexpected.

The cost was extremely reasonable, and the electricians that did the work were polite, knowledgeable, communicative, and had a sense of urgency about the project.  They even patched my ceiling, and well, too.

I would definitely hire Scott Nelson Electric again.

Mike Gordon of MPG Electric did an outstanding job replacing under cabinet lighting as well as hanging a fixture that I hesitated to buy due to review after review saying how hard it was for their person to hang. I liked the looks of it and decided to take the chance despite the reviews. He had absolutely no trouble because he really knows what he is doing. In addition, he generously offers his time to answer questions as well as help with purchasing. His patience is extraordinary.

Our previous electrician left us with dimmers that didn't work for years. Mike knew exactly what to use and they work fine for the first time since we lived in this home. He is honest and charges fairly. We intended to add a dimmer to our kitchen fixture but then we weren't sure if it was needed. He was fine with letting us check it out at night, where we could judge better, and get back to him. He offered to come back and not charge the initial first hour charge or return it depending on our decision. He really cares about his customers! We highly recommend him!

Mjp electric was awesome!  A true professional from beginning to end.  He gave me a reasonable quote to install a motion sensor light on the exterior of my home.  He respected my property and me by wearing shoes covers and a face mask every time he entered my home during the install.   He treated my home like it was worth a million bucks.  Besides all this he has a absolutely friendly personality.  I will definitely use him again!  Thanks for the great job!

We needed a very heavy ceiling fixture installed on a 12 foot high ceiling.  Bill was referred by a friend in our grandson's school network.  My wife made a couple of phone calls, set an appointment time and price.  It was the end of the day and Bill was a little late getting to our 5'ish appointment time, but when we called we were assured he'd be there shortly.

When attaching the base of the fixture one of the screws started floating, meaning that it would be very hard for anyone to remove the fixture in the future.  Before tightening everything, Bill removed the base and started again making sure it was done correctly.

All in all we are very satisfied with the work and have planned additional work in the near future.

Professional, polite, straight up good guys!

Both Chris and Adrian were very courteous and professional throughout the process. Chris made clear communications with me, and Adrian did an excellent job onsite. I couldn't have asked for more for a home repair.

Thank you, Good Guys!

The team that showed up was professional, upfront with pricing, and got immediately to work. I have an older home and they noticed a few issues (some bigger than others) but weren't overly dramatic about them. I've found living in an older home, professionals tend to freak out whenever they're confronted by something that isn't by the modern book. They quickly fixed what I asked for and gave me straightforward advice on how to, eventually, handle the other matters. They were early but called to confirm that was okay. Overall, very good service and will absolutely recommend and use again.

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
The Gonzalez family

We had a very good experience with Rick from Mr. Mighty. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and polite. He thought ahead about what we might need with our fan installation and told us what questions to ask the light shop before we bought the fan/light. He was always on time and wore shoe covers when working in our house, which was thoughtful. On his way out he asked if he could see the make/model of our fuse box to note it for any future calls. We would definitely call him for future jobs.

Update: We did call Mr. Mighty again to have another fan/light installed in a different room. Rick was no longer with the company, but Frank and Ed did an equally fantastic job! Thank you very much!

Excellent service. Came out less than 30 minutes. Thorough, reassuring electric needs looked at. Answered all questions. Highly recommend.

I couldn't be happier with the service provided by this company. Tom was incredibly responsive and had his team on the job the same day I contacted them...a real blessing after all the problems I have had with my contractor. They did an exceptional job and were a joy to have in my home...even my cat loved them! They were professional, conscientious, knowledgeable, and highly skilled. I will definitely have them back and I would recommend them to anyone.
