Best Electricians in Illinois

I hired Howard Simons Electrical when I somehow lost electricity to the 2nd floor of my house while at work one day. I called Howard at 6:30 pm and he was able to come out the next day (.We used a few long extension cords from downstairs to get us through the night )

Howard tested the circuit box and found the problem quickly.  He went to his truck, got the parts and fixed the problem- and explained what he did and why.  My 2nd floor electricity was restored within 30 minutes and I was charged $100 total parts/labor.  

Howard was very pleasant and courteous and knew what he was doing.

I would not hesitate to hire Howard SImons Electrical for any future electrical repair.

North Shore Electric is truly first-rate.  They just completed our second project with them which was removing a track light and installing six recessed lights that have changed the room ambiance.  Brian, the owner had worked out the plan, made suggestions, and offered suggestions.  While they were backlogged with business,  he did suggest a way of getting the work done earlier than originally proposed.  The site electrician, Bill, was fantastic.  This friendly and informative dude worked non-stop enabling the job to be completed in one day and totally cleaned up.  Bill recognized that he had done our living room installations a couple of years earlier.  This company is tops and pricing is very reasonable.  It was nice to get an invoice that detailed every cost and not just a blanket final price.  Recommend them without reservation.

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 R is great! He is friendly and very patient with questions. I would have asked him over half a dozen questions on his first visit on various projects I needed for my house. He helped me wire a secondary internet service at home and install a chandelier and will be my go to for any electrical work at home. He provides very practical solutions and alternatives that you should not even consider for projects at home. I found him very reasonably priced and pleasant to work with.

Strongly recommend!

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!

Responded very quick with an a available time and day   Showed up on time and did a great job  Highly recommend using this business for your electrical needs

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.

Penco came out to replace our outdated fuse box with a new electrical panel.  The estimate was fair, the workers finished the job earlier then originally quoted and we will definitely call them for any future electrical work.

Chris was great to deal with on the business side -- I like that everything (quotes, payment, etc) was electronic.

Jamie did an awesome job on the actual drywall work.  Explained enough to be helpful but not too much to be condescending.

All in all a great experience.

Absolutely the best electricians my family has ever used. Carlos Sr. and Jr. came to our aid like electric genies when our garage lost its electrical power. Seems our landscaper accidentally diced it when planting a tree. They spent about six hour replacing the line and enclosed it in metal. They did this as a precaution for future overzealous  shovelers.   They also replanted my plants after they were done. Was so thrilled at the end of the day, I hired them to do another job. A week later, I have new recessed lights in my basement ceiling. Excellent work, did exactly as was discussed. Fairly priced, honest, and reliable. Guess I must have won the  best electrical contractor lottery!

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

Called these guys because there were some circuit issues with one of my units.  Oscar was one of the most professional and trustworthy electricians I've ever come across.  The problem was pretty complicated but Oscar walked me through the process, came back with his supervisor so they could accurately diagnose the problem and then had it done within an hour.  The prices are very reasonable as well!

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.
