Best Electricians in Illinois

This used to be a good honest company. Now they have no clue of what the customer needs and just send people out who either can't do the work or it's beyond their ability. Stay away and work with a real electrician or plumber. Fixer is no better than a high school kid I can hire for sheer labor.

Steve is the electrical contractor you are looking for! Quick response time, friendly, knowledgeable and cleaned up. No surprises with pricing, what he quoted was what we paid. Will definitely use him for all future project's!

Greg and Steve of Duplex Electric are great! I found a recommendation for them on next-door.com, and have since had them out to fix a few different issues. Both times I've called they have responded within hours to my voicemail messages and have come out that day or the next day. They first came out to replace a basement ceiling light. Through this they discovered that the switch was improperly wired. They explained clearly what the issue was, and fixed the switch and replaced the fixture quickly. The second time they came out to install two ceiling fixtures and to replace our kitchen outlets with GFCI outlets. Both times they explained to me clearly what the issues were, worked with safety precautions, arrived on time, and charged a reasonable amount. They are super professional, very knowledgeable, and on top of that were friendly with my crazy dogs - I will for sure call them the next time we need anything electrical fixed. Thank you, Greg and Steve!

Art responded quickly to my request for help in updating and repairing outlets in my older house.   He provided a reasonable estimate up front, was available quickly, arrived in a timely manner, and did all work to standard.  I'll call him back for my next electrical issue!

They did in fact install the new whole house fan. Mike knew what he was doing, cleaned up after himself, and took the old one downstairs for my 79 yr old father. Professional, great attitude. They also gave a veterans discount which my father appreciated.

My only (minor) complaint was the several month wait time. I wish they could have gotten here sooner.

Purchased a new house and had a few electrical items to address.  Found Prolite Electric on Yelp and felt good about their reviews.  After leaving a message, Jack called me back that day.  Went over his pricing and I felt he was very reasonable so I made an appointment.   He sent his technician Matt over to fix the items and I was very pleased with Matt's service.  He was on time and very professional.  I'm looking forward to using them in the future.

Update 1/3/2017.  Again Matt does another great job.  Had a laundry list of items to get done and  Matt's work was perfect.  Jack is very affordable and this will always be the company that does my electrical work.

Friendly professional service, they weren't able to complete everything I would have liked done, splitting garage power from the kitchen lights (same breaker into two) but they adjusted the final bill appropriately.

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!

We called Dave to fix a lighting issue in our kitchen.  He responded quickly and had the issue resolved for us fast and very reasonably priced.  We'll definitely call him again for any other electrical issues!  We highly recommend him.

Matt is a pro; on time, efficient, reasonable, professional.  He performed several mid-size jobs for us with no fuss or secondary labor; highly recommended.

Highly recommend! Mike came by within an hour of me connecting with him to install an outlet for my EV. He explained the process and walked me through it step by step just so I'm aware. I was so impressed, I asked him to work on more electrical stuff around our condo and he's coming back to do those jobs.

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 and his team are the best. They were courteous and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. We had two workmen come in and replace two old (and potentially dangerous) electrical panels in our new condo unit. They worked quickly and efficiently and were able to do the work in less time than scheduled. They were friendly and cleaned up the areas nicely after they were done. Despite our condo management being clueless and slow to respond, Homer and his team did an excellent job.

While shopping around for contractors for this job, we received a lot of quotes; Homer's estimate came in the lowest.

We are very happy with the service. We highly recommend Homer for any electrical work needed and would definitely use them again if we needed to.

I'm adding a star because I've since gotten some other estimates for work in my condo that were much lower than what I paid for HandiCo.  So, I sent a follow up email to Mike @ HandiCo and he wrote back letting me know that they would look into the exact charges and get back to me with a better explanation.  A few days later I got another email from Mike with a very thorough explanation of the charges and a review of the invoice.  I definitely appreciate them going out of their way to make sure that everything was clear and overall I was not dissatisfied with their work.  My experience with the people of HandiCo was great, I got exactly what I was looking for, my rating is simply because I feel that $350 to install an outlet is excessive.

I was looking for someone to replace and install a chandelier and ceiling fan on a very high ceiling for my parents. I'm on the east coast and my parents live in Plainfield, IL so I looked on Yelp for an electrician and many of the businesses I called were closed. I came across Corey's business and was surprised to see that he was still open. I spoke to Corey and explained what I was looking for and he didn't hesitate to say that he could do the job. You see, the chandelier is one of those geometric shapes and other electricians told me that a scaffold was needed and/or the chandelier couldn't be installed on a sloped ceiling. Some electricians never called me back after seeing the chandelier. Corey sent me a link to the contract by text and I signed it electronically.  Both items were installed that following Wednesday (AND, he used a ladder and not scaffold).  He did a magnificent job! My parents were extremely happy and so was I after seeing the photos Corey sent me. If you are looking for a professional electrician that provides quality work you definitely won't go wrong with Corey.

This place was a dream to work with. They're fast, affordable and skillful.
I'd recommend them to friends and family but unfortunately I'm too afraid to
do business with them again.

They came out for an emergency repair after an electrical fire in my home.
The problem was resolved in a matter of a few hours and I paid the electrician
but the complications that had followed lasted for a few months.
Unfortunately, they did not include the price of a permit nor had they updated
their permits that allow them to do work in the town of Cicero when they had done their work.
Their permits had expired roughly two days before they took my service call
resulting in fines from the town of Cicero requiring them to update their permits.
I was even told by this company that they didn't bother to update their permits because they don't get much work in Cicero. I absolutely understand that and wholeheartedly agree but if that was the case, they should not have taken my service call. Regardless, if it was an emergency or not.

Subsequently, they in turn sent me a bill, with a very condescending letter,
stating I was to pay for THEIR business permits for the minor job they had
so graciously done for me.

It was a very insulting letter with an air of condescension but nonetheless
it was something that needed to be resolved and their receptionist was extremely
courteous in helping me resolve this issue.

I stood firm in my decision not to pay for their business permit. My name is not
on the front door, I do advertise to be an electrician myself, so therefore, it is not
my nor anyone's responsibility to pay for a business permit for a business I do not own. If your permits needed to be paid, you should have included that in your pricing regardless of how big or small the job.

They knew this. They stopped asking me to pay for their bills.

They also have a sister company called Diamond Home Services.
If you do work with A to Z Electric, your phone number will be placed on Diamond
Home Service's calling list.

I would absolutely do business with both of these companies again if it
weren't for their condescending letter and their audacity to try and stick me
with a bill to update their business permits. I'm just afraid that if I were to call
them up for business, I'd be given an unreasonable estimate or receive
unsatisfactory work.

Angel, did a great job.. Was polite, explain work and pricing.. I will definitely use his sevices again...

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!
