Best Electricians in Illinois

Just had Howard Simons out today.  Called in the morning as we only had half the electrical in the house working.   Fortunately, he was on a job nearby and came out that morning.  He did a very through job diagnosing the problem (which I thought would be storm related and found out I was completely wrong).

Turns out after checking circuit breakers and all the typical stuff, the issue it was my dog urinating on part of the floor over the crawlspace, that dripped down and started to corrode the electrical stuff down there. He replaced what needed replacing and saved me SO much time and most likely, money.   He and his associate were so helpful, calming and trustworthy.  I would definitely use Howard Simons again and recommend him highly.

Five stars to North Shore Electric for integrity and good customer service! I recently purchased a ceiling fan for my home, expecting a contractor to install the fan. Unfortunately, the member of the contractors' staff who was supposed install the fan had a family emergency so was unable to do the job. Then, I spotted a North Shore Electric truck at a neighbor's house. I asked the electrician if he could install the fan. He quickly came over and worked diligently to install the fan. Unfortunately, after several attempts -- and quite a bit of effort on electrician's part -- it became apparent that a wiring issue in my nearly 100-year-old home made it impossible for the fan to function properly. The electrician, who was hard-working, neat and courteous, and helped me identify some possible approaches to rewire the house - but didn't charge me for the failed attempt at installation. I would definitely call North Shore Electric for help on a future project and happily pay them for successful work. I recommend North Shore Electric.

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)

Highly recommend Norh! Very professional, responsive, and just a pleasure to work with. We had the electricity in one part of our room go out, and put off fixing the issue fearing it would be very expensive.  However, after seeing really positive reviews for Norh, we decided to get an estimate.  Norh was very responsive (providing an estimate on a holiday!) and his estimate was very reasonable.  We feel grateful for finding such an honest and professional electrician and will definitely recommend him to family and friends.

Great service! I was able to schedule an appointment very easily with Frank over the phone. He arrived on time and ready to work. He was able to resolve the problem I had called about quickly. I thought the charge for his services was very reasonable and would recommend him to you. Thanks for your help, Frank!

I called a couple electricians and no one could come out for months.  Did a Google search and came across Scott Nelson Electronics.  They were able to come out within the week.  Bought a condo and needed a few things.... 8 GFCI outlets in bathrooms and kitchen , installation of nest thermostat, and had exposed wires under garbage disposal.  The guy came on time.... If not a few minutes early.  Very respectful.  Wore a mask entire time.  Efficient.  I bought most of the outlets and thermostat ahead of time.  I was short two GFCI outlets and bought them from the electrician.  Total was $250.  Very reasonable.  Will definitely use them for future projects!

We give Mike and MPG Electric 5 stars with no reservation. His work is thorough, accurate, neat, promptly completed at a fair price. He has done several smallish projects for us in the past few years. The most recent was installing new under-cabinet LED lights and a ceiling pendant in the kitchen -- life changing -- so bright! And the peace of mind in knowing that the job was done right.

These guys are great. I had them install a Nest doorbell and outdoor camera. They were extremely respectful of my home and everything was done professionally and cleanly. Pricing was reasonable too.

We have used Penco to service our standby generator for a few years and their attention to detail and thoroughness has been the best!  But this weekend performance tops it all.  We lost power and right away the generator kicked in.  We called ComEd thinking it was a power outage.  Long story short:  no power outage and the generator was not malfunctioning.  We were instructed by mpower to get an electrician.  I was amazed that in two hours of calling Penco, they were here on a 92 degree day checking everything out.  It turned out to not be an electric issue but rather our air conditioner died.  Thank you Penco for your outstanding customer service!

I found this contractor through the Yelp app, and decided to use him. The prices I was quoted were very competitive, and the outcome was phenomenal. Working with Chris was a delightful experience. I found him to be very easy to work with because he was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The site was left very clean upon completion, and the job was finished in a timely manner. I have even requested a second quote for this contractor to work on our next project.

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

These guys are great - honest, fast and fairly priced.  I used them three times, once to fix the AC (diagnosed as needing freeon), the second time to replace a used part on the AC and third to fix the furnance.  All three times the technician told me about the diagnostic fee of $89 (not sure why the other reviewers were charged $266) ahead of time and the cost to replace the part.  He was honest and showed me the faulty parts and explained why they were faulty.  I never felt pressured to fix anything additional. I will use these guys again and recommend them to friends.

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.

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.
