Best Electricians in Illinois

Great and speedy service! Was able to schedule an appointment within a day of posting an inquiry. Priced much cheaper than other plumbing services too. Would definitely recommend.

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

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 worked on several projects in our house. We would ask him any time again. He is very professional, takes good care of everything. He installed a new washing machine, added a 250V outlet and a new receiver for our ceiling van (which was really high up). He always gave us an appointment very quickly. I can really recommend him.

Arrived on time. Performed work as needed and exactly as specified. Finished ahead of schedule. Gave me multiple options during the quoting process with full explanation of everything. Didn't try to push me into anything I didn't want. I would recommend to others.

Prolite Electric has been great to work with. Very fast and thorough communication from Jack. I love when appointments are confirmed!  Matt arrived right on time and was a pleasure to work with. I had a list of minor electrical fixes around our house. He took care of everything and made recommendations for anything that could not be fixed the day of.  Pricing matched the quote that I was provided. I would highly recommend the Prolite Electric team!

These are the folks you want in your house. Clean, well trained, friendly  and reasonable. They've done plumbing, electric, sewer and HVAC jobs here.  Every job site is left clean and I will use them for any future projects.  I have recommended them to friends and they are pleased as well.

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 had a terrific experience with this company. I left a message and received a call back in less than 24 hours. I was able to schedule a convenient appointment. The serviceman showed up on time and offered a reasonable quote for the service. He was able to get the job down in a timely fashion which was very helpful due to travel plans. This company is professional, the work is of great quality and I'm already making plans to call them again for more work that I need completed.

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 and Goldstream Electrical are fantastic. I've used them several times now, for big jobs such as changing my main breaker; and some smaller jobs such as installing a switch for an overhead light and putting in some new outlets. He is a great electrician, always wears footies on his shoes when he's indoors (even though in our house you really don't need to), does great work for a reasonable price, and is VERY reliable. Goldstream is my go-to electrician now, you won't be disappointed if you give him a try.

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!

I would be very careful before taking this electrician's advice.

I had an odd odor in my kitchen I wanted investigated, as I was concerned that this might mean I was having an electrical problem and at risk of a fire.  

I called Homer and he was prompt and courteous in arriving for our estimate/appointment.  

I then experienced the most noxious bait-and-switch experience I've had with a technician in a long time.  He intentionally used overly technical language and I felt like I was with a used car salesman trying to sell me rustproof undercoating.  

Homer exited my kitchen almost immediately, going to my panel box on a completely different floor and explaining all the different ways that my electrical system wasn't wired correctly.   This was very confusing to me- since all the electrical in my house was newly installed 3 years ago by a contractor I know personally who is an electrician, and my house passed inspection.  

Homer cited a few minor issues such as a few connections being double-tapped, and the box being incorrectly installed which apparently would put it at risk of fire, and the wrong screws being used.  He blew up these minor issues into a huge problem that, apparently, was putting me at imminent risk of a fire and would require him to re-wire the whole box for $500.  EXCEPT he wasn't available until almost a week later and never advised me to turn off the breaker for the area of the house where the issue was (the kitchen)- so how big of a risk was it, in his mind?? AND, mind you, he never explained why I would get a smell in the kitchen.

Next, Homer  furthermore stated my 200 amp box wasn't being properly serviced by a 100 amp line from ComEd, and this was dangerous and he needed to fix it and would work to get the necessary permits.  Look- I know my house wasn't updated to code, but when he said this job would cost $2,000-2,500. I almost fell off my chair.  Obviously if this was a major problem, my house would not have passed inspection and I would have chronic electrical issues in my home, which I do not. PLUS, he said it would be OK to wait until Spring when I could save up for it- so, again, how urgent is the issue???

I had trouble sleeping that night, worrying about how imperative these supposed necessary safety issues were, and concerned about cost.

Thank God common sense prevailed and I contacted another electrician- someone HONEST, thank goodness- who came out the next day and thoroughly inspected my house for 90 minutes.  He explained the double-tapping issue was minor and didn't need correction; he didn't feel the foreign screws were anything to be concerned about; he covered a very minor hole in the electrical box at no cost to reduce moisture intrusion; he inspected every single outlet in the kitchen (and hypothesized since they were all in excellent working order that perhaps the GFI circuitry was about to fail and could account for the occasional smell); yes my box was a 200 amp but so was the external wire; the 100 amp Com-Ed wire needn't be a major issue unless I'm trying to sell the house (as this is technically a code violation, but not a safety concern since there's no way I'm using anywhere near 100 amps of power at one time), etc. etc.  

I paid him for his time and promptly cancelled my follow up appt with Homer.  Who, by the way does not appear to be a licensed electrician- a fact you can easily check for yourself here: webapps1.cityofchicago.o…  

If you want to work with a dishonest cheat who treats women like idiots and uses fear to try to sell unnecessary goods and services, well you know who to call.  His number is above.

I have used HandiCo multiple times and have been very pleased.  They are professional, timely, reliable, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced.  They will give you an honest assessment and truly attempt to repair first, vs. replace which is rare in the industry.

I had the pleasure of receiving service from Perfected Electric. Corey was prompt and timely, very communicative, and explained everything very well and in detail.  He crossed all Ts and dotted all Is regarding what to expect for my ceiling fan replacement and installation of my 6 low profile recessed ceiling lights. I am already planning to utilize his services again for a couple of other projects.  He is highly recommended by me.

A to Z has completed a number of jobs at my home and I have been completely satisfied. The previous owner of my house had installed an illegal electrical wiring in my garage and A to Z redid everything the right way.  They are always available when I need them and are great guys!  I highly recommend them.

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

I contacted Fixer last Wednesday to see if they could take on a small task that just required supporting a couple of bolts on the hinge of my fence. When I called, the representative couldn't quite understand the scope of my project, so he decided it would be best to schedule a consultation. I explained I only wanted a consultation if the project could be completed that same day. He said it shouldn't be a problem. He confirmed the cost would be $139 at time of consultation and that would be applied toward the total project of hired, also that would be the hourly rate. Knowing there's no way that project would be more than an hour. I was desperate and needing it to be done ASAP and so I agreed.

My scheduled time came and went and then I received a notice that my appointment was rescheduled to the following day and they would Credit $15 toward the cost of the consultation. I reached back out and again reinforce that I wanted to cancel unless the project could be completed on the same day. Again was told it should not be a problem.

Nino came out the next day. He was very professional, and nice. He explained he couldn't do the project the same day because he hadn't been booked for it, and even if he had, it was too cold for him to make the repair.

This was a blessing in disguise. I paid the consultation fee, and later got the estimate and was in shock - the total for this project was nearly $300. I had no idea they were going to charge $89 for their handy person to walk into a hardware store, on top of charging $50 (+20% upcharge) for parts which was a couple pieces of wood and a couple of bolts and the hourly rate.

My dad made the repair today in less than 30 mins with a drill and two bolts. He also used a saw to level out the bottom of the fence as Nino had also offered to do.

I just can't believe the cost, it's outrageous. I would not recommend this company based on cost and also the administrative to field miscommunication.
