Best Electricians in Illinois

Howard is the REAL DEAL.

I needed some major electrical work done on my new (older) home, and had several electricians come in to give me an estimate.  As i mentioned, this was no small job, the house was still wired to a fuse box from the '50s, so hopefully you can imagine what kind of undertaking this was.

Out of all the estimates I received, the thing that stuck out about Howard was his attitude.  While the other 3 electrician's (who I found on Yelp) gave me long-winded, repetitive, and overly salesy pitches; Howard gave it to me straight.  He told me what needed to be done, asked what I wanted to address, informed me how many days the job would potentially take, and then he left.  no nonsense.  no drama.  no BS.

After considering all the other estimates, I chose to move forward with Howard and let me tell you I made the right choice.  Everything I asked for was completed per my original request.  The price was competitive, yet reasonable.  The job was completed on time without any problems.  What more could you want from your electrician.

If you want to be coddled by your electrician, then look elsewhere.
If you want to be 'scared' into getting more work done, then look elsewhere.
If you want to overpay for your electrical work, then look elswhere.

BUT

If you want an experienced electrician who will LISTEN to you, give you a fair deal, and complete the job successfully, then Howard is your guy.

*** if you leave him an email/voicemail, and he doesn't follow-up right away, don't get discouraged.  Howard is a very busy guy and is always out on a job- be patient!  He WILL get back to you.

North Shore Electric is fantastic! I have had them out for two small projects in my older home, and the work they've done is perfect. Bill is a great electrician, very thorough, timely, and performs high-quality work. Well worth the expense (which is reasonable), and highly recommended.

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)

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 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.

Reliable, honest, and does excellent work!

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.

Punctual and professional. Got my quote over Google from him. He prices competitively and works efficiently. Great work! Will definitely be getting work done from him in the future!

Buying a backup electric generator is expensive insurance. If you've decided that you need to keep Ur sump pump, fridge and some other appliance running during a power outage, then call Penco Electric to do the job. I have yet to find a team of trades work so well on a project. It took all day to complete the job, but they still had time to clean the area, review the unit operation and meet the village inspection to follow. Satisfied with the whole project from the sales effort, office contact and that the owner came to check the job.

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.

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.

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.

Excellent service. Came out less than 30 minutes. Thorough, reassuring electric needs looked at. Answered all questions. Highly recommend.

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.
