Best Electricians in Illinois

The bots and text messages are a coverup for a lack of communication and customer service.

We made an appointment with Fixer during a weekday, for which my wife stayed home from work. 15 minutes after the time they were scheduled to arrive, we received a text saying that they wouldn't be able to keep the appointment, asking us to reschedule and offering a $50 discount. My wife makes well over $50 a day!! This bad news was sent via text and after I responded and prompted a reply, we heard no more from them.

The $50 discount would've been easily absorbed by the Fixer's exorbitant fees. I'm leery of a home repair company that can't even honor their own appointment schedule. I understand that things happen, but at least take full responsibility and go above and beyond to remedy your mistake.

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.

AZ Electrical is an outstanding company to do business with. They came out to install a TV antenna at my home a while back.  AZ provided a fair price for the standard installation, however, the installation was anything but standard. Being an older home and far from the Chicago tv transmitters there was some hurdles to overcome. But AZ Electrical did the work for the price quoted (except for additional parts) even though they spent more than twice the time allocated for such a job. You don't find such character in company's these day.  They are definitely recommended.

Don was great. Used his company twice now. 1st Time was for attic roof vent fan that the inspector said wasn't working, which it was and they confirmed it was fine. Second time was when I needed a 4 banger outlet installed for my new LG laundry with the pedestal washer. Super responsive professional and would recommend and will use again.

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.

Fast response on initial contact and quote. Was able to fit us in quickly for ceiling fan install with new electric run to unit as well. Did attic work on a hot hot day (thanks! Others called would not!). They gave me good options on the fan switches and cleaned up nicely before they left. Would definitely use again for other work.

I have just bought an old house and was following up on inspection items. Jeff got to us quickly, educated me on things and helped me to determine the importance on different issues. He did the work independently, and came back when he said he would to complete the job. I was very happy with his work and his easy helpful manner, and will be having him back to swap out light fixtures and put in an exterior outlet.

I contacted them a while back looking to get a quote for future renovations on my home. The electrician that showed up was a bit late (he called to let me know,) but courteous, knowledgeable & walked through everything that I wanted, explaining what was feasible & his thoughts. This took maybe 15-20 minutes. He left me his card & said he will get back to me with a quote in a few days, but right before he left he made sure to make a comment questioning how I would pay for all of the work which was odd. I never heard from them again.

I figured the list of things needed some time to quote out & it was no rush so I gave them a few weeks... still no quote. I started emailing & called specifically stating that they didn't need to quote out every little detail... just give me a ballpark estimate based on their previous experience in-order to make it much easier on them...the lady over the phone I believe said they don't do ballpark estimates...ok. It was weird since it's not like an estimate is legally binding & set in stone. Weeks turned into months into years...nothing. I gave up a long time ago on getting that quote from them.

A year or so later something happened that exposed & shorted out some wiring in a wall. I sent SAFE a message letting them know the situation & if they could send someone out as soon as they could since it was a serious fire hazard...crickets. I assume they either don't like money or don't want me as a customer even though I've literally done nothing to deserve the silent treatment.

Luckily other electricians reached out & fixed my issue as well as got me some ballpark figures on the work I was looking to get done.

I hired Dave to install an outlet for charging an electric vehicle. 1) he was super responsive. 2) showed up on time for an estimate 3) was priced better than 3 other shops i researched 4) he did a great job.

I will never hire anyone else for electrical projects. It is rare these days to find someone who is honest and transparent - will not rip off customers. Great experience. Strongly recommended

We called Matt to replace a ceiling light fixture in our bathroom that had broken. He tried to repair it first, but ultimately had to replace it. He was very nice, very professional, and knew what he was doing. Cost was as quoted. Thanks Matt!

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.

Had a great experience with Randal Electric. I'm selling my condos in Chicago and some very minor electrical work popped up on the home inspection report. I called a few different electricians on Yelp in the area and a lot hung up on me because my request was too small for them to set an appointment. I communicated with Randy what I needed to be done and he was confident that it would be a quick and easy fix, plus he'd be able to put me down for an appointment the next morning. Eddie was my electrician who was right on time this morning. He was polite and professional and after he was finished with the breaker he even asked if he could review the home inspection report to make sure everything needing an electricians attention was covered. I appreciate honest businesses in home services. While searching for electricians I ran across CR Electric and they tried to upsell me on an entire new panel a 4-6 hour job that would have been unnecessary and over the top. Eddie was able to make the breaker safe and eliminate the double tap breaker installed by a 10+ year old alarm system company that I never used in 7 years of owning the property. I'm glad I called Randal Electric and if I need electricians for the next 4 condos about to go on the market I know who I'll be calling!

Edwin is responsive, friendly, and solved our electrical issue promptly. He also installed electric to our deck. Highly recommend.

I called Homer to install two Ring security lights/cameras after a break-in a few hours prior.  He showed up within 2 hours of my phone call and a fabulous job!!   He also recommended a contractor to install a new back door, that the burglars had kicked in.  I will definitely call Homer for future electrical work!   Great job at a fair price!

Drew came over today (right on time!) to assist with a number of tasks around the house. He was so efficient, he finished 30 minutes early! Drew made sure everything was working correctly and to my liking. He then went the extra mile and fixed two additional, small items that needed attention, simply because he had the extra time. He was so diligent with his time, and did an excellent job. You surely cannot go wrong calling HandiCo! This is my second experience with the company, and I would not take my business anywhere else.

Consistently great work all of the time.  I've used this team for two different projects and and they've done great work both times.  They were extremely professional and provided quality, affordable work. We were well informed of our options and both projects were completed on time.  I will definitely use them in the future.

I would not recommend this company. When they replaced the breaker box they had to remove wood paneling on the wall, which was fine - they put it back. But in doing the work they damaged the tiles at the bottom, and then refused to take responsibility. They said they were broken before they began work and wouldn't fix it. We have proof they were not broken as our house had detailed photos and videos taken right before that to be put on the market.
The only positive is that they were the only electricians able to get the work done quickly. But I still wouldn't hire them again.

Called them on Thursday and they were able to show up the following day to change out my outlets. Cheap prices, priceless work. Clean and efficient. Great service and would definitely recommend Gomez Electrical.

ive used many of these types of companies and fixer definitely stood out! they were very knowledgeable and I could tell had a lot of experience. I was very comfortable with them working in my house. They did a fantastic job and even had to do some customization of some of the parts that I had. Everything turned out wonderfully. Would definitely use them again.
