Best Electricians in Illinois

Quick | communicative | professional

Quick: I needed to replace my overhead microwave unit in my apartment. I reached out to 8-10 different handyman services, fixer was the first to respond. They also were the first to give a quote that was responsible and didn't look the haggle.

Communicative: when fixer reaches out, they have a texting service that they communicate through and have you save in your phone. The texting service Walk's through payment, scheduling, and any changes or updates. After scheduling me a few days later a new appointment time opened up and the texting service alerted me and I made the appointment for the new time.

Professional: fixer had two people come. As soon as they checked in, I received an email/text that said the people had checked in and their estimate for job length. They best their estimated time by 30 minutes which saved me substantial dollars from the initial estimate.

Pro tip: use the Yelp handyman feature for looking for a handy man.

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 Co was one of the most professional contractors that we have used. Incredibly knowledgeable, competitive prices, services completed on time and always exceeded our expectations for multiple projects. We highly recommend AZ Electrical Co for any type of electrical work and will always use them in our home for any project.

AZ Electrical Co completed extensive electrical work in our bedroom and bathroom. AZ identified poor electrical wiring or bathroom and made repair to ensure that the wiring was safe. AZ also installed a very large and heavy chandelier with a very long chain, which now hangs down from our 25 ft. ceiling. AZ Electrical did a complete rewire of the electrical in our basement bedroom and has also installed numerous lights and ceiling fans.

This is regarding work done earlier this year (April 2019).  Had an awesome experience with Don and team!  The work included a few projects: fixing interior and exterior outlets, installing exterior garage lights and backyard flood light.  From start to finish, Don made himself readily available through phone/text/email to answer all questions I had related to the work being done.  Team performing the work was prompt and courteous and provided exceptional quality work (including the clean work done to install the conduit in the garage for exterior lights).  We also had an add-on project that was not originally planned (wet bar lighting) but Don was very flexible and able to work with us on the spot to quote/schedule (which was completed the following week).  Highly recommend Donatello Electric!

Extremely easy to schedule and work with! Matt arrived slightly early (which I appreciated!) and completed our ceiling light install in no more than an hour. I was nervous he would have to rip out drywall to set up the wiring, but thankfully he was able to wire and install the light without any wall damage. He was professional, friendly, and the cost was reasonable. I would definitely call Prolite again!

Very polite and professional customer service, felt like I was calling a neighbor. They were fast to respond and get someone at our house, even though it was peak time for them.
When they arrive they quickly fixed the issue, told us things we can do to help with our furnace, and we just in general professional. And the cost was great, seeing how high they were rated I assumed it would be costly, but they were super reasonable.

Very glad we found them!

Jeff came out to give a quote for some electrical work in my two bathrooms.  It was pretty simple stuff: four can lights on dimmer switches, low voltage LED lights, and a bathroom exhaust fan.  I was totally unimpressed by Jeff's knowledge as I was having to tell him how to do things (you'll need to cut this 2x4 and put in a 4 slot electrical box, you'll need to run a whip here and run a box here....).  Basically I had zero confidence that Jeff knew what he was doing.  Jeff also said he would send me a quote and he never got back to me.

Pros
--Jeff was very friendly and flexible considering I showed up 15 minutes late to meet him for the quote

Cons
--I was not confident that Jeff knew what he was doing
--Where was the follow up??

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

I got lucky and he was available on short notice. Our conversations were short, to the point, and I felt he was honest with me.  His cost came in 10% of what another electrician quoted - albeit a very easy quick job.  We'll be back.

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!

I was very pleased with Randel Electric. Randel Electric did work for me over a holiday weekend. They showed up on time, fixed all my issues knowledgeably and quickly, and were very fairly priced.  It is hard to find dependable service professionals nowadays, but Randel was top-notch. I highly recommend.

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 very professional. He answered my call immediately and was out the same day to look at our issue. He diagnosed an overloaded circuit but when he and the crew came out to fix it he discovered we had lost partial power and thus we also had a ComEd issue. He was kind enough to understand we wanted to get that resolved first before fixing the circuit. He even called ComEd for us to schedule the fix. I will be calling him again for any electrical issue!

We have used HandiCo three times now. The workers come prepared, allot enough time for the job, and are considerate and professional. We experienced some water damage and needed sill repair; we had outdoor lights replaced; we had interior patching and painting, and our front door painted. Everyone is efficient and the pricing is reasonable. Our small children and dog loved Pablo! This is quality worth repeat business.

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!

I have used them twice. Both times the work was done well, quickly and they cleaned up. The company, Diamond, will then do cold calls for more work. I asked them to stop several times and finally complained to the government. The owner called to apologize and the calls stopped. About 2 years later they started again. I now need more work done but will not use them because of the continuing sales calls. A shame because it is nice to find reliable craftsmen who charge reasonable prices.

Angel is the man! I called him around 2:30PM to have 4 light fixtures replaced in the stairwells of my house (high ceilings). I explained to him the urgency of having these replaced and he told me he could be there by 5:30 later that day. He actually showed up an hour early (4:30PM) and was done within 3 hours.

I highly recommend Angel, will be calling him back for future projects.

Thank you for fast and quick installation. I will be reaching out again for some more projects. Very impressed
