Howard did a great job troubleshooting and fixing my electrical outlet problem. He was able to come over the same day that I called and I thought the price was very fair. He is a friendly, knowledgable guy and I will definitely use him again.

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.

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!

Very friendly and knowledgeable. Norh quoted me for several projects, and ended up running a 220 outlet for my dryer across the house, and adding an outlet. He also helped me figure out a problem I had with some switched outlets. His pricing was really fair. If I need an electrician again, this is who I will call.

Adrian Electric is great and we highly recommend them. Frank is by far one of the most professional, knowledgeable, and courteous professionals I have done business with in the home services sector. He installed complicated lighting for us and did a tremendous job. We will definitely be using Adrian electric for all our electrical needs in the future.

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!

Electrician
Great service, fast, and professional. I had a minor repair for some switches and reached out to a few electricians via phone and Yelp quote messaging. MJP responded the fastest and had a reasonable quote, providing me with available slots. He messaged me when enroute. Marcin arrived on time, evaluated the problem (asking a few questions), and was able to repair quickly. My job was simple and would use MJP again.

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 needed to enclose my second bedroom and Good Guys did a fantastic job. They installed the glass panels to give it some natural light and installed a door. They were easy to communicate with and did a great job.

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.

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.

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!

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.
