Best Electricians in Illinois

I'm obsessed with Fixer! Recently, I moved into a new place that needed minor repairs to make it feel like home! I texted Fixer with a list of about a dozen things, and within a few minutes my appointment was booked.

My fixer showed up on time the next day and completed everything on the list. She moved quick but also explained things to me and gave very helpful tips and advice. Also, she was very nice to my dog and super cool about me attending my WebEx lecture while she was working around me.  

They also will run to the store for you so if you don't have all the supplies, they will get them. One thing I noticed is that they really pay attention to the notes you put into the job description. For example, one of my items was installing a smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector and my fixer brought batteries - I already had them but I am impressed she was super prepared!

I was quoted a price of $119 an hour, with $79 an hour shopping fee + cost of items, all prorated to the minute. A little more expensive than the local handypeople on Yelp, but the customer service, ease of booking and ease of payment on top of the great service make it worth it in my book.

Highly recommend! Fixer is a wonderful service that makes life easier!

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!

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.

He is the best electronic technician I've ever met

Honest price and effort I want to give 10 stars if it is possible

Our kitchen cabinet (under-mount) lighting stopped working and it was not a simple as to change the bulbs - a wiring issue - so I looked up for a reliable electrician in my area (thank you, Yelp reviewers!) When I called Donatello Electric, Don answered the phone immediately and he was super polite and accommodating. He came and gave us a couple of options and quotes right away. We decided to put this tape-like lighting to go all the way around the entire cabinet. It wasn't inexpensive for a small kitchen but Don said it'd last for a long time, so we pulled the trigger.  We added a dimmer for extra charge, and even though we don't use it, I'm glad we went with it for an added value. If we decide to sell our place down the road, I think it'll look nice during the open house in the evening (I hear that's a thing now). Mike, the electrician, who did all the work, was super nice and got the job done very efficiently to our satisfaction. He also replaced our bathroom switches. We were very happy with their service and highly recommend them!

Prolite is one of the subcontractors working on my home remodel. They came and installed two ceiling fans for me and did the wiring for my bathroom remodel. Matt and Jack are exactly the professionals you'd want - knowledgeable, conscientious, and trustworthy about working in your home. I will use them in the future for my electrical needs.

Did a great job fixing my conduit problem! I had to knock off a star because they were an hour late, though.

I replaced many outlets in the house and it turned out that I installed something wrong. As the result, some lights and outlets stopped working. I was really worried that the problem may cause danger. I called around and finally got Jeff to help me immediately. He is very knowledgeable and experienced. He helped me identify and fix the problems right away. In addition, he helped me examine all the outlets that I replaced and fixed some problems there. Finally, he helped me replaced two ceiling lights, two outside wall lights, one CGFI outlet, and one fire alarm. He is very patient and nice to work with. He helped me with many tasks beautifully.

Everything went well. I am very happy with his work and attitude. I would definitely call him again if I need help with electricity in the house.

YES, I would call them again. A human answered the phone  on a holiday. Tech was here the next morning. Quality diagnosis & service, quick response, personable, dog friendly, reasonably priced.

David got back to me via email on a Sunday, set up a time to see the issue and showed up right on time the next Monday.  His quote was quite fair and the work was amazing.  He walked me through all he needed to do and did all the work.  He cleaned up after himself and the electric in the house is now as good as the day it was when the home was built.  He fixed issues in 4 rooms that were in dire need.  I would recommend him highly to all that need electrical work done.

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.

I was very pleased with
the guys from Electric Castle workmanship, courtesy and overall thoroughness. Great job, Mike and Bogdan had always been most helpful for me over the phone. Always been prompt and efficient. Thanks everyone!

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.

They were fantastic from start to finish. Professional demeanor, communicated with us very well throughout. They initially quoted us on the job based on my explanation and a picture but then we soon realized after they got to the job this would not work because of a brick pillar that would have been very difficult to fish wire through. They assessed the situation and gave me different options and were very fair on the price.  Cleaned up afterwards and were willing to answer all of my questions.  Thanks again to Edwin and Brian. I will definitely use them again in the future.

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 just had another good experience with Handico. They took apart, cleaned, and resealed our stand up guest bathroom shower, and did a great job. And they finished 1.5 hours earlier than they estimated! It has held up well after a week. I'm very happy with their service and will definitely use them again when we want to tackle our granite counter and kitchen backsplash.

Corey and his team installed an overhead light in my bedroom and did wonderfully. He provided me with a honest quote and came to provide the service promptly. I will definitely call Perfected Electric for future needs!

Customer service is a major dealbreaker for me, and I just talked to this company. I do not like it when people answer me in a choppy manner. I'm also not a big fan of people being impatient when you ask questions ahead of time. The lady told me immediately that it would be $150 for a half n' hour, which I think is a bit steep compared to a site like Fixer. Their website says the estimate is free. I had to ask four different times if I had to pay the $150 upfront. She said I did finally. I asked her, What is the FREE estimate? She told me they only give free estimates on bigger projects. The website does not specify that. I confirmed that they offer payment plans, which it says on the website. She says not for little jobs like this for $150.

I reminded her that she has no idea what the issue is and no one has come out to see it. She told me she definitely knows that it's the light switch. I told her that her website says nothing about a minimum or maximum on payment plans. She said nothing.

She just had too many answers too quickly for me. Two people I know and trust used their service for a much larger job, but word of mouth only gets you so far. If your customer service presents itself in this annoyingly know-it-all manner and doesn't seem to know what's on the website, hard pass! I'll look into the two other companies that I was already going to get an estimate from. They charge less and so far one has had extremely better customer service.

And worst of all, after clearly saying I'll pass on service with this company, that Diamond company the rest of the Yelp! reviewers complained about called me twice in less than a few hours after I talked to a Customer Service rep. I told this rep she had the wrong number and blocked it. I regret even calling this company to begin with.

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

Great job! The process was super easy and Steve was great! I will use Fixer again!
