Best Electricians in Illinois

I've been calling on Howard for electrical repairs in my home and condo association for years now. He's prompt, clever, sympathetic, persistent and trustworthy. He'll be totally up front with you about problems and stick with the job until it's finished.

Today I called him about a horrible grinding noise near my breaker panel that had kept me awake all night and been recurring every 5 minutes. He moved his schedule around to get to me within the hour! It took him an additional hour on site to ferret out the source, which wasn't coming from within my condo but from 3 stories down via the conduits. He methodically eliminated every possible cause and explored every avenue to avoid knocking into my walls.

He was also great about coming and going carefully once he realized that my cat likes to bolt out the door.

Totally worth digging out the checkbook for this guy.

Mike came this morning to install a new fluorescent light fixture in the kitchen. He did a great job working with the old wiring. He was polite, efficient, and cleaned up when he finished. This would be a five-star review except that I was told he'd arrive between 9 and 10 and he didn't arrive until closer to 11. Other than that--great job. I'd use this company again.

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!

We've hired Small Tyme on four different occasions for jobs big and small, including a whole-house rewiring.  We'll continue to work with Norh, and we continue to recommend him to friends.  He has very reasonable rates, and he is prompt, responsive, and very easy to work with.

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.

Eric & Derek diagnosed and resolved my issue quicky & confidently and explained the why and how so there was full transparency. Great experience, will reach out to this company again with any electrical issues.

We have a new go-to electrician. Mike is extremely responsive and detailed in his communications. He agreed to help install a new light switch for my elderly aunts. (It turns out, they are neighbors!) Unbeknownst to me, a caregiver fixed the light before Mike even got there for the appointment. Instead of being annoyed, he double-checked the work and made a change to make sure it was safe. He did not take any money from my aunts, and instead gave them a card and reassured them if they had questions or problems, they could call him. Kind, honest, conscientious and detail-oriented. Thank you, Mike!!

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!

Penco Electric is fantastic.  We needed a whole home generator and we are so glad we chose them to install it.  We got multiple bids and they were the most competitive in addition to their exceptional customer service.  The installation was excellent and they went above and beyond to ensure that everything was done at 110%.  During installation there were a couple minor issues, due to my house and no fault of theirs, and they went out of their way to make sure everything was done correctly even though it cost them some additional time and expense.  I would highly recommend Pence Electric for anyone who needs a generator or generator service.

Hadn't needed a go to handyman in Chicago until today.  We just had a variety of electrical odd jobs stacking up related to outlets not working, fans needed installed and some of my not so handy work to be corrected.  

Everything was really smooth, easy to communicate with, book an appt, simple online payment via credit card.

Really happy with the price.  Previous experience with this type of work had been pricier and Ty was very personable, respectful, wore a mask and cleaned up after each job appropriately.

Just saved these folks in my Yelp collection as one of our Go To Guys for any type of help we may need around the house, or any more of my handy work that needs undoing :)

This guy took really good care of an outlet in my kitchen - very professional and informational.

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 had a service call in to my home warranty group. Regarding an electrical issue regarding my dishwasher after it was determined it was not a regular appliance repair.  They let me know it would be Mr. MIGHTY that would be responding. Mr. Mighty called and gave me an appointment right away. Kept me informed of the technicians arrival time and a very slight delay in his expected time. It was well within the window they gave me so it really wasn't a delay.
The technician Eddie Morales came and was personable, professional and kept me informed of the assessed issues..showed me the problem. Provided my options and his recommendations. He actually taught me about safety issues and measures regarding my current very old circuitry. In layman's terms. Very knowledgeable.
He fixed everything ...and I will be contacting
Mr. MIGHTY for some other remodeling I am planning. Can't wait...really.
This company is credible and has a wonderful work ethic.keep up the excellent service!!

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.
