Best Electricians in Illinois

I was visiting family in Skokie and my great-Aunt's ceiling fan had clearly been broken for awhile.  We found Howard on Yelp and he was able to come the next day and fixed it immediately.  He was super pleasant and really knew his stuff.  My great-Aunt now loves him and wants him to fix all her stuff - but I don't know if he'll fix her hip!

Seriously - check this guy out if you live in Skokie area!

This is the 3rd time we've used them, and as always, we have no complaints.  

They arrived when they said they would and did good work. The electrician who showed up was courteous and friendly.

Highly recommended.

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.

I would not recommend this company for electrical work. Lack of communication, zero follow up and very unprofessional.

I needed to install large fans in 2 vaulted ceilings, and I knew just who to call ... Scott Nelson and his crew of talented guys!  The steep angles presented many challenges, but the team's creative thinking and experience came through -- and my fans are gorgeous!

I've had Scott Nelson Electric do several projects over the past year, and every single time I am impressed with how the guys are not only experienced and skilled, but they are very friendly and conscientious too.  They are quick to finish and clean up every trace of the install / repair.  It is such a great feeling to have an electrician team I can trust and turn to when in need --- Thank You!!  :)

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.

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 needed a very heavy ceiling fixture installed on a 12 foot high ceiling.  Bill was referred by a friend in our grandson's school network.  My wife made a couple of phone calls, set an appointment time and price.  It was the end of the day and Bill was a little late getting to our 5'ish appointment time, but when we called we were assured he'd be there shortly.

When attaching the base of the fixture one of the screws started floating, meaning that it would be very hard for anyone to remove the fixture in the future.  Before tightening everything, Bill removed the base and started again making sure it was done correctly.

All in all we are very satisfied with the work and have planned additional work in the near future.

Having been very pleased with Jaime, I scheduled a canned light installation with them. Ty was very professional and knowledgeable. I had no ceiling lights at all in my house, so Ty had to pull wires from my plug create a new place on the wall for switches, create holes where the lights would go and wire it all. He worked very clean, efficient and professional - I felt like I was in good hands the entire time.

And wow - what a huge difference it made! I am extremely happy with the installation and will be calling them for more things that need to be fixed in my house.

I had Caval Electric do some work for me today and I was really glad I did.  Carlos showed up early, which is always a plus in my book.  I did something really stupid with my hard-wired smoke detector and lost power to part of my apartment.  However, it turned out that really wasn't the source of the problem:  when I was monkeying with the fuses in my old-fashioned fuse box after the incident, I removed one where the socket was defective. I couldn't put the fuse back in properly and thus the power loss.

Carlos discovered the problem in my fuse box, crafted a solution to it, and reconnected my smoke detector.  He was friendly, polite, and quick, but he took the time to explain to me what the problem was and made sure I understood how to replace the battery in my smoke detector and reattach it to the ceiling.  To top it off the price was very reasonable.  I will be calling Caval the next time I need an electrician.

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

I've had Carlos over to service my HVAC a couple of times. He arrives for scheduled appointments on time. Offers clear explanations of his findings and has been honorable in all our dealings.

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.

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.
