Best Electricians in Illinois

Carlos did a quick and great job. He texted me in advance to see if he needs to buy fixtures before he came, which not only saved time for we both but reduced the potential cost when I need to wait for him to get new ones.
Thanks Carlos!

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

I found Steve and Greg through a Moms of Western Springs FB group. We had a switch go out and there was an arc of electricity so I was concerned about fixing it as soon as possible. I called Monday night and they got out Tuesday morning and fixed the problem. Their response was remarkably fast and the quality of their work was exceptional. Thanks Steve and Greg!

Ran into problem Thur night, lost power on one floor.   Called several places Art was only one who answered at 8pm at night.  Came out next day, fixed problem at fair price.  Highly recommended, he was prompt, polite and knew his stuff.  Was great with 2 little kids running around.  Highly recommend and will be my go to person for electrical needs.  Thanks Art.

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 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!

This is the second time we have used OneStop, and we have been very pleased both times. First time, Josh came out to install a new outdoor spigot and fix a small pipe leak in our crawl space. Second time, Josh and Jose shortened the kitchen stove gas pipe to allow our new stove to sit nearer the wall. The guys are always on time, very friendly, and they do a great job! It is so hard to find a reliable plumber, but OneStop is definitely our go-to plumbing company.

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.

Before I called this company for service I reviewed all the reviews on Yelp and reviewed their webpage. There are a few reasons that I called them; they provide volunteer services to animals and children, and the positive reviews. When I vet companies for service I always make a note of how they talk to me, do they use big words related to their work or do they break it down in simple terms. I also make note on if they're douchy because they're talking to a woman, are they pushy? do they look annoyed when I ask questions? and how passive are they with their answers. I am forgetting the young gentleman's name that came to my home for an estimate but he was great at explaining the situation and solution to me. He wasn't pushy or passive when providing answers. He was respectful, calm and business like. I was satisfied with the estimate and the time it would take to do the work. I requested service on the spot! When he was onsite to do the work he was quick and cleaned up after himself. I'm giving this company 5 stars for professionalism. The company provides a warranty for their work for up to one year. I haven't had any issues and I don't expect any. Thank you! I've got larger projects I am planning for, please expect a call!

Am so grateful to have found David !!! Can't speak highly enough of his work ethic and professionalism.....he is very reasonably priced and just a good guy,no bones about it!shows when he says he will, does the job he promises and doesn't have ridiculous rates! very impressed!

Reliable, responsive, and professional. Matt installed two outlets for us and the entire process was smooth. He responded with a quote quickly, provided expert advice upon installation, and cleaned up when the job was completed. He was very friendly and arrived on time with all necessary tools.

Thank you!!

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.

Installed a new outlet for a wall mounted tv. Did a great job and was quick. Great price and great service.

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.

Ok I will say that these guys totally ROCK.

I live in a house in Lakeview that needed just a bunch of small and/or medium things fixed and redone.  Now I love my husband, but he's really not the handyman type.  Don't get my wrong but its not something he LOVES to do but can do smaller stuff.  For ladies out there that are single or weren't blessed with a handy hubby, HANDICO is for you.

I've talked to Scott, Andy, Mike and all of them are really nice.  I had plumbing work done, caulking like my entire bathroom, they refinished the front portch and back deck (I mean, resanded, and repainted everything), I had a ceiling repair to the drywall, I even had them touch up all the paint after we moved out.  Absolutely everything they did was AMAZING.  They were fast and they did not try and rob me on the estimates.  Price wise, I think they are fair and certainly better than most from a value standpoint.

The deckwork was awesome and my deck and porch look completely new.  I would recommend them hands down to anyone who needs work done around the house.

I reviewed Perfected Electric Services over a year ago. I called on them again a few weeks ago in August. Still a 5 star good value operation. Having some remodeling done in the bathroom so I got an estimate from the electrician recommended by the company doing most of the bathroom work. Perfected Electric Service installed our lighted mirror, bathroom fan and updated other lighting as we requested for nearly half the  price quoted by the electrician they recommended. Difficult install for the fan but once again creative problem solving by PES got it done without having to open up the ceiling.

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...

I had several small jobs that needed done; patching drywall, painting, caulking shower and windows. Andrew worked quickly and did excellent work.
