Best Electricians in Illinois

Great to get some nagging projects taken care of by Ricordo! He did a wonderful job--high quality and very efficient!

Mike and his crew ALWAYS do an outstanding job.  I would recommend them anytime.

We had a horrible experience with Duplex. We hired them to install a chandelier in our home in La Grange. They came out ahead of time to see the infrastructure and told me that it would be no problem. When they came for the actual installation, their tune immediately changed. All of a sudden, it was incredibly heavy and the most complicated fixture they had ever installed. They went back to get more equipment and charged me for all that time. When they finally did install it, it looked horrible and they left the electric wires flapping and made no effort to conceal them because they instructions did not say that. We had to throw the fixture in the garbage and buy a new one after they charged us $980!!! They charged us more than cost of the fixture! The new electrician who installed the second fixture only charged us $250 (inclusive of removing the old one) and said that it wasn't that heavy. Be careful with these guys. We got completely taken.

Art was great! I'm a little bit...annoying...and Art was kind enough to let me look over his shoulder as he fixed the things I had messed up. He explained how I should have changed the outlet, giving me a hard time, which I deserved, and made it a point to ask about our smoke detectors and how often we changed them. He's was honest and open and direct and fair.

With respect to responsiveness, I had screwed up our refrigerator outlet and had an extension cord running through the house, so I needed help sooner rather than later, and Art came the next day. He was about $10 more than others who couldn't come for a week, but I feel it was absolutely worth it given his knowledge and honesty.

The next time I screw my electrical up, or want to avoid doing that, I'm calling Art.

We called Donatello Electric about a light fixture above our bathroom medicine cabinet.  Some days the light would go on, some days it wouldn't.
Mike arrived early (he called ahead to make sure that was ok).  He found a flakey connector in the fixture.  He removed the connector and hard wired the fixture so we wouldn't have that problem again.  Mike was clean and polite.  We will call Donatello the next time we need electrical work.

I can't believe these folks do not have a review on Yelp. Jack the owner and his employees are outstanding. I cannot say enough great things about Prolite Electric. Professional. Great follow-up. Great pricing. Very fair. Excellent service.

I trust these guys to get to the core of the problem. Feel free to reach out to me if you need any additional information on the recommendation or the work they did for me.

Robert was excellent! When ComEd conveniently couldn't confirm why half the power was out in our house he came out to give everything a once over confirming it was in fact ComEd! He took the time to look everything over and explain why we had lost power. Highly recommend!

I left a voice message after hours. Jeff called me with a quick reply. I explained my electrical issues. Luckily he was able to address them on Saturday as he was available. He was on time, found and fixed my problem the same day. My husband said he was a great guy! I definitely would use Jeff again.

I don't have enough good things to say about Safe Electrical and Charles!  They were prompt, responsive, and incredibly nice.  The lighting they installed looks fantastic, and they even finished ahead of schedule!

Had some smart switches that needed to be installed that were a bit above my (admittedly minimal) expertise. David responded with a very reasonable quote right away - and showed up on time when he said he was going to a couple days later. He was professional and courteous - I would highly recommend for any household electrical needs!

Fantastic electrician - in fact I think I can easily say Matt is one of the best contractors we've ever worked with. He's upgraded our house to 200amp service and has also installed a Level 2 charger for an EV.

So why 5-stars? 1) He's very good at what he does (have had GC's verify/comment on the quality of his work), 2) He's friendly and explains things in plain language that is easy to understand and make decisions from, 3) He shows up on time and is incredibly responsive, and 4) His pricing is reasonable. Not basement, not exorbitant, just the right amount for the quality of work he does.

I can't recommend Goldstream enough.

Very professional and knowledgeable tech.    After getting a couple quotes from different companies I decided to change the electric panel and  install the ev charger with Electric Castle . Mike and Bogdan explained the process and the steps they have to do in order to get the job done. Very careful around the house, clean and outstanding job overall
Totally recommend

Owner of the company is honest.  Did all work as expected.  His workers were puntual and professional.  Calls were returned, problems addressed quickly.  Solid contractor.

Great service from Edwin and his crew!  

We had a potentially large electric problem with some lines from our house to our garage.  They were old, frayed and hanging low.  It was easy to set up getting a quote from Edwin though the Yelp site.  He responded very quickly and arrived on time at the appointed time.  He diagnosed the problem and provided a quote via email.  I accepted his proposal and he let me know when he was available to come and do the work.

He arrived on time, on the scheduled day.  It was a big job which included taking down the old wiring and, digging a trench and sending all new wiring out to the detached garage.  Since the home and garage are both over 100 years old, diagnosing our wiring is like a million piece jigsaw puzzle. Edwin did a great job and everything works great!  He even did a great job to not disturb the landscaping.  You can't even tell that there was a trench dug.

Highly recommend!

Homer was fantastic! I had an electrical box that started loudly humming.  It was not only driving me crazy as I tried to work but made me worry about a fire.  I called about 5 companies without anyone picking up the phone.  I left a message for Homer and he called me right back and was at my condo in 30 minutes.  By the time he arrived the buzzing had temporarily stopped, so he explained that humming from an electrical box generally means a fuse has gone bad and showed me how to figure out which fuse needed to be replaced.  As soon as he left the buzzing started again.  He immediately came back and detected that it wasn't my fuse box at all.  It was an A/C condenser on the roof of my condo building that was directly over my fuse box causing it to vibrate.  He explained that there should be a pad under the A/C unit to prevent the vibrating.  He was extremely honest and I avoided needing to pay for any repairs.

Never again....

Never again will I go anywhere else when it comes to fixing my home.  These guys are it.

I wanted to put some more outlets in my basement so I call Handico.  Mike, the scheduler, actually suggests that I can save money by doing it on my own and then tells me how to do it all and what to buy.  I say no, I'd rather have it done and not deal with the headache.  Mike says ok and that an electrician will be at the home between 11-1.

That happened to be the best decision.  Andy, the electrician, shows up at 11:05!  He sees what needs to be done, realizes that it's going to be a LOT more work than anticipated, and proceeds to haul ass.  I'm serious, the dude shuffled back and forth to his truck to get tools, trying everything he could  to save me some money.  Great guy.

So he finishes a lot more work in the same amount of time I expected in the first place, and perfectly.  The bill wasn't bad, pretty much what I expected.  

SUGGESTIONS:
- Buy the materials needed for the guys to work with, it will save you time  ( = labor).  Mike at Handico told me what to get over the phone to give me a head start.
- Be aware that there is a charge for running your credit card.  Nothing nuts, just know.

Done and done.

Able to solve my electric problem. Went to the store to buy what was needed and came back quickly to fix

This company ran a credit check without my permission. Can you imagine, I have an inquiry on my credit report because I had a small light fixture installed. Also, two years later, I am getting calls from Diamond Home asking if I have any remodeling needs. I recommend finding an electrician  with better  business ethics.

Angel is fantastic! I'd recommend him for all of your electrical needs.  He was quick to respond, professional and honest.  Had a faulty track light in our kitchen which he managed to teach me about and fix in no time.  Excellent service!

I was having an issue with the exhaust fan in my bathroom. The fixer handyman came out exactly on time and was so incredibly kind and helpful. He answered all of my questions and was very professional. I would highly recommend them and would definitely use them again!
