Best Electricians in Illinois

Howard is awesome.  We had several issues at our house after buying a foreclosure this winter.  The electrical outside had issues (flood lights, outlets, lamp post), the garage electrical didn't work and a couple of outlets were faulty in the house.  Howard came and did work in two sessions in our house.  He was extremely polite, friendly and honest.  He told us what was wrong and charged us a very fare rate for all of his work.  All of our issues are fixed 5 days after initially calling.  Couldn't be happier!

They took on a project of my home that had been turned down by two other electricians due to the difficulty going around the existing construction. I got three estimates as recommended but two others backed off. North shore was not the most budget friendly choice but they were confident and willing to work on our old bungalow. I also used them for smaller work before like figuring why our basement lost power.  At that time their technician knew to check the exact outlet that had blown off and fixed the problem within 15 min. When i was impressed like an idiot he only chuckled and said he guessed based on experience and he was also lucky. :)

I love these people after they got us a new service line and a new distribution box. They are pleasant to work with.  They also brought their own handyman that made it possible to work in our home.  ComEd person just came out and did an inspection and was impressed how the work was done precisely.

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 is such a professional guy, he came for an estimate explained everything to us and then showed up for to the job on time, prepared, knowledge and with a great attitude!
We had a few outlets installed and a ceiling fan moved, he worked very throughly and took his time to do everything correctly and cleaned up after himself! He takes pride in his work which shows and his costumer service is wonderful.
That's how it should be all around 5 Stars!

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.

Scott and his crew are fantastic.  they replaced a sub-panel and ran 220V lines for some equipment at my home.  Scott is incredibly responsive and willing to go the extra mile.  A year later I needed to verify some of the work he did when I was selling my home.  He was able to provide documentation and saved me a lot of headache.

Thank you Scott!

Mike was able to help me over the phone fix a track lighting system that had a transformer that tripped. Cannot say enough great things about Mike and his responsiveness! Not to mention my lights are back to working and it didn't cost me anything. Highly Recommend!

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.

If you are in the market for a house or commercial generator, Penco is the way to go.  From sales (Marion Ignoffo) to installation(Edgar), they were professional, knowledgeable, kept time commitments, and helped me along with the process. I checked with other companies and no one compared to the service and personal touch I received. Their prices are very competitive as well. If i could give them more than 5 stars i would. I most highly recommend Penco.

Be very aware of who you are dealing with here and I would give zero stars if possible.  The first part of a project they did for me they were to re-silicon my bathtub and vanity back splash.  It was pricey $198 and I even gave them a $20 tip to hopefully create good will towards the bigger and second part of the project which was sent on a separate estimate after the bathroom was completed, to put crown molding in my bedroom, repaint the entire room and put up a chandelier I had up previously.  It was estimated at almost $1700.  The major issue was while they were doing my bathtub I asked if they could do me a favor during my bedroom remodel, could they put in two window air conditioners because I hurt my back the other week (only 35 and 45 pounds each, 8000 and 10,000 btus small units), I usually put them in myself and it takes five minutes to do both of them.  They said no problem.  So they sent me a new estimate today and included $40 to do the air conditioners.  I emailed them back at my surprise they would charge me for that given that I am paying them $1900 worth of work, I would have thought that they would just do that for me as an accommodation for the work at hand and for any future work and I emailed back to take it off the estimate, I wasn't going to pay for it.   I told them they could proceed with the bedroom work, come get the security deposit and they were suppose to begin the next day.  So Chris the owner sent me an email and then called me before I even read it to tell me they couldn't do any of the scheduled work for me since I wasn't going to pay the $40 for the air conditioners.  I am still shocked by how unprofessional and just out right childish this was of him and let him know how I felt.  All Chris had to do was take it off the estimate and do the work he was scheduled to do.  I didn't argue with his wanting to charge me, I just told him I wasn't going to pay for that and to remove it from the estimate and not do it. Instead, I wasted over a week waiting for them to do this work while I am home on vacation and now won't be able to find anyone in the next day that is available to do the work this week and it has really put me in a bind.  The interesting thing is that they were suppose to be working on another job and not have gotten to my bedroom for another couple of days, but they had an issue with the owner and were going back and forth over the estimate as Chris told me on the phone and they ended up not doing the work for them so they could start on my bedroom early.  So as you can see this is a pattern for him, they did it to not just myself but someone else on the same day!  Entire into an agreement with Chris knowing the risk you are taking.

Addendum:

It is good to see Chris is also an outright liar.  There was no vicious threat, I told him straight out that I was going to post a review online so others would know what type of business he ran and how unprofessional he is, it's called the truth.  

I did tell him his estimate of work was very pricey to which he responded I could probably find someone to do it all for $500, but that was how much he charged and I told him given the timeline I have that I need it done this week, I would pay his prices to get it done.  So much for not telling him it was pricey

Second, I didn't mention the camera because it was immaterial to the point of you canceling the day before you were suppose to start your work because I asked you to remove a $40 charge and not to put in the air conditioners.  The point of the review is you can't trust Chris to follow through on any arrangement you have with him.  Now as far as the camera being free, he said it was free only because he didn't want to charge for time of just standing around trying to figure out if he could even get a camera behind my wall.  I guess I should thank him, since his brother was here for a hour and only removed a plate off an outlet in that time and I didn't get charged $80 for all that work so thank you.

Thirdly, when someone tips you, yes it can be for good work, good service, or that person knowing you are going to be doing more work, hoping you recognize that they are willing to reward good work and that will go the extra mile for them being a good customer, or also known as good will.  Not that once again has anything to do with Chris canceling the project at the last second without a real legitimate reason other than he doesn't understand good business.  And Chris did have another project canceled today because of issues, he told me that.

I asked Chris if he could do me a favor and put in the AC and he agreed, he never said he was going to charge me which is why I thought I wouldn't be charged for it, but once again let me emphasize I emailed him to remove the air conditioner and the $40 charge from the estimate and he canceled the project over that.  I am out of space so can't refute all he writes below, but I was a tradesman myself and would never act like Chris

I had a problem with dimming/flickering lights and power surges that damaged several appliances/electronics so I called the electricity supplier company.  They sent someone out and then told me the problem wasn't on their end, it must be in my house and told me that I needed to call an electrician.  So I called Caval.  Their electrician came out to my house the next day and did a thorough inspection.  He determined that the problem was being caused by loose wire at the pole and not a problem in my house after all.  So I called the electric company again while he was still at my house and they tried to give me another run around.  The electrician kindly got on the phone with them and explained the problem so they could come out and fix it.  The electric company came out and fixed the wire the next day.  Thank you, Caval for going out of your way to help!  You're the best! I would totally recommend you.  5 Stars to you!!

We made an appointment for an estimate and nobody showed up. I called and only received voicemail and nobody returned my calls. Based upon other more positive reviews, I was disappointed in the unprofessional treatment.

I sent a request through Yelp for a service appointment. I had some general questions and they rep was polite. I had a lot of questions about the service since I am a new homeowner.

The technician only took approximately 45 minutes to make it to my home. He was very polite and took the time to explain all of the details with the service. In total my service was $169 for travel and to clean a flame sensor. It is not bad in comparison to some of the other quotes I was given.

Ken helped me with installing conduit in a high rise unit.  This required providing extra documentation regarding insurance and certifications.  It also meant working within the building's hours and elevator availability.  Ken came to the unit for an initial estimate, provided all of the documents beforehand, followed-up with a walk through on the day before work was to be done, and then personally came to the unit as the job was being completed.  The work was completed professionally and aesthetically.  The primary installer (Darrell) was pleasant, competent, and able to modify the plan as needed.  What I appreciated most is Ken's timely responses to questions and requests for information.  He ensured no question was left unanswered.  Dosie Electric will be a goto resource for future projects.

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.
