Best Electricians in Illinois

I was visiting family in Skokie and my great-Aunt's ceiling fan had clearly been broken for awhile.  We found Howard on Yelp and he was able to come the next day and fixed it immediately.  He was super pleasant and really knew his stuff.  My great-Aunt now loves him and wants him to fix all her stuff - but I don't know if he'll fix her hip!

Seriously - check this guy out if you live in Skokie area!

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

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 hired Scott Nelson Electric to install a ceiling fan in my master bedroom.  Scott was quick to respond to my quote request and his price was the best.

Eric and Derek came over to do the install.  They were both really nice and professional.  They took the time to make sure the job was done correctly and to my satisfaction.  Eric was also kind enough to answer some questions I had about future work I'm considering doing in my home.  He gave me some good advice and wasn't pushy about getting me to commit to anything right then.  

I absolutely will use Scott Nelson Electric again, and recommend them.

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!!

I found this company via Home Advisor.  Marien contacted me right away and was able to squeeze me the next morning.  
Marien came and looked at our issue.  He couldn't find what our Home Depot installer diagnosed, but he was able to install a switch for our dishwasher to cut the currant so that the installer can be satisfied that there is a switch to cut the currant.  The nice part is that we are up to code now too.  The work was done well and quicker than estimated, and the price was fair.  Marien also was able to add a outlet to our furnace switch as a courtesy.  I would use him next time we have any electrical work.

Penco electric got the work done very quickly! I had two electrical meters converted to one. Awesome job

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. This company provided me a quote of $742 to repaint a tiny bathroom. They then proceeded to do the job and work well beyond the scope of the quote without notifying me or asking permission, and charged me over $1200! When I brought this up to the owner, he insisted that their quotes are rough estimates and that the actual price price owed by the customer can vary once the job is complete. Vary by nearly $500? On a small project? This reeks of unprofessionalism and overcharging, especially since they had already seen the job that needed to be done - in person! - so the quote should've at least been in the ballpark of the final invoice. Not so in this case. AVOID. AVOID. AVOID.

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

Hello,

Sam came to my home to add a 220 line for a hot tub I had installed.  the work was impeccable and he took the time to explain things, did my special requests, and even came back to hook up the hot tub after they delivered it as part of my job. he is very reasonable and quick to respond.

If you need something done in a timely manner, than you should choose a different company.

I called these guys for a quote to correct some electrical violations in my building. They sent someone out who looked everything over, then pulled out this chart of inflated prices for simple jobs. A few violations were going to cost me over $6000 according to this guy and his pricing guide. Needless to say I was in shock after hearing/seeing this, and was told that by the end of the day I would receive by email an actual detailed estimate for all of the work to be done.

Fast forward 3 days and I still had not received an email or any follow up. I proceeded to email them and asked what was going on and when I could expect an actual detailed estimate. Shortly thereafter I received a phone call by a young gentleman that informed me that the worker that was sent out to my house had quit and took all of my info with them, and that another technician was going to come out to reassess the work that was needed.

A day or 2 later a young gentleman came out and did a walk through, taking pictures along the way. He went over the violation list and also informed me of other things that the inspector might not approve of. We eventually agreed that they would send me 2 different estimates, one for just the things one the violation report and one for all of the work that they felt should have been done in order to pass. I informed them that money was tight and that I only wanted to fix what was on the list and nothing more, and that if the inspector said anything about the other stuff I would then get it taken care of, but was not interested in paying to fix anything proactively when the inspector may just pass it anyways. I was told I should be receiving an estimate by email shortly. 3 days later still nothing in my inbox, but I receive a phone call from the young guy who told me that the whole building basically needs to be rewired and that it would cost over $20,000, and that he was still trying to get all the figures right. Getting a little annoyed with the time it takes for this company to get me an actual final price for the project at this point, after 2 guys were already sent out and it had been about 10 days with them doing nothing but trying to prime me for a high total.

I then get Informed that the young gentleman who came out was just an office nerd who really had no experience in the field and that a third technician would be sent out. Since I was only charged one time for a dispatch fee, I figured what could it hurt, so we scheduled for  a day later. When this guy came out he informed me that he was the actual licensed electrician of the company and that he would go over everything again to see if he could save me any money, because there was a lot of work that was needed and the price was really high, so maybe he could spot some things that didn't really need to be done. He went over everything and then informed me that I would definitely recieve a quote by the end of the weekend. He also informed me that getting 2 different estimates was out of the question at this point, and that there would only be one price.

2 days later I receive an estimate with incorrect totals(they didn't do their math right). I informed them that I would just make the corrections myself, but still this amateur mistake could have been avoided simply by a simple 2nd glance of the estimate. 2 Days later I receive an email with the correct totals and an apology. The corrected totals were $14,000 or $18,000 depending on whether or not the inspector said I needed a third breaker box. I told them that I was not happy with the way they conduct business and that my review would reflect my opinion. They apologized and said they would refund my $49 dispatch fee. That was 2 weeks ago and I still have not received a check in the mail, nor a response on when I could expect it.

This was the worst experience I have ever had with a contractor. Their response time is horrible, 3 technicians and 2 weeks to get a written estimate with correct totals is unacceptable, their prices are seriously inflated, their office workers cannot do simple math and they lied about refunding me the dispatch fee.

Absolutely terrible company to deal with. They give prices that only the rich could afford.

I hired a different company who will just focus on what was on the violation list and who is not trying to sell me the rewiring of my entire building as most of the things could just be grandfathered in.

Mr. Dosie came out to a rental unit within 15 minutes of my phone call.  Upon arrival at the unit he called me to state that he was starting work.  Upon finishing, he called and explained the issue in detail, answering all of my questions.  Mr. Dosie was incredibly professional, and reasonably priced compared to other electricians I've used in the area.  He took my credit card information over the phone, and emailed me a receipt.  I highly recommend using Dosie Electric Service.

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.
