Best Electricians in Illinois

We bought a new dryer that was causing an electrical fuse to blow whenever we used it. I called PB Electrical Services and they came right away, diagnosed the issue as needing a new circuit breaker, and fixed it same day. Great service and I'll definitely use them for future electrical needs!

Tony was great. He got my message at noon on Saturday after thanksgiving and by 3:00 we were done with all repairs complete. Highly recommended.

We received timely and excellent services for electrical work for our kitchen. However they are a bit pricey.  We didn't realize how pricey they were until we started started remodeling our basement at which time we obtained a quote from Excel Electrical and another Electrical company.  The quote we received from the other electrical company was 1/2 the price, of the quote we received from Excel's.  Excellent work but definitely shop around

I recently bought a new home and needed to re-wire some of the work done by the last owner as well as install some outdoor lighting. They were informative, professional, and fairly priced. They gave me a complimentary inspection in light of the issues they noticed. It worked out in the end and I'm very satisfied.

Looking for a reputable, kind, timely, professional, competitive electrician? Dion is your man.

He arrived on time and was able to complete (read: finish) a job in THREE DAYS that another less-than-savory electrician had delayed for over 6 weeks!!!

He is friendly, communicative and gets the job done.  He even made suggestions to put nice finishing touches we hadn't considered.  

We've already referred him to our neighbors - who equally were happy with their experience.  

5 Stars!

Perlongo Electric is exactly what his voicemail claims, your friendly neighborhood electrician. Frank is extremely friendly and upfront with the estimate. He installed 3 ceiling fans and four can lights in my house, and he finished right on time for exactly whet he bid the job for. He actually changed all my old two prong outlets into grounded prong outlets for no additional cost. He was very knowledgable and hard working. It must have been 100 degrees in my attic where he had to run wire for the lights, but he still finished on time. I have called him several time with questions about electrical work and if he can explain a fix for me to do he would, otherwise come and take a look. I was extremely happy with the work Frank did and I would highly recommend him to any friends or family of mine. You will not be disappointed.

Can't recommend John enough- he's amazing. First off, I called few other electricians for my job and John was the first to get back to me to schedule. He was right on time, super friendly, and very efficient. We actually had bought dimmers and ruined them unknowingly and John had spares in his car that were the same brand and half the price. He did work on the two dimmers and we added another job. Great price- great service. If you're looking for a great electrician who knows his stuff and has integrity, John is your guy!

Malek is reliable and honest.  Very thorough and they never recommend unnecessary work.  We have used at three different homes now.  Highly recommended.

I'm really not understanding why my experience was a complete 180 from other reviewers, but calling it a nightmare would be a supreme understatement.

I needed a dedicated outlet for the sump pump in the crawlspace because you cannot use an extension cord for it in my town. I called Vlad, believing I had called him before and he never got back to me (this was my error). He was very polite and came immediately to look at the work needing to be done. So far, so good! He quoted me a very fair price and said he could do the job the same day - even better! I made sure I said that the sump pump needed to be plugged directly into an outlet. He said he needed to go to the hardware store to pick up what he needed, after 2 hours I called him to make sure he was coming back. He replied yes, he would be here shortly.

And this is where my nightmare began.

A couple hours later, I notice that it had gotten very warm in my house. AC is usually set at 72 and when I checked the thermostat, it read 80. I politely asked Vlad if he did something to the AC, and his reply was too many wires and went back to what he was doing. That really wasn't an answer but I went back in the house and turned some fans on, sure that he would fix whatever he did to cause the AC not to work.

As the hours progressed (he started work at about noon). the AC still wasn't working and the WiFi thermostat was turning off and on and re-setting every few minutes. He was messing with the breaker box for a REALLY long time and would NOT answer my questions but rather just shrugging his shoulders and ignoring me. You have no idea how frustrating that was.

At about 6:30 (still no AC, mind you), he comes into the house and asks me for an extension cord. I ask him what for. He replies that he needs one to plug the sump pump into the outlet. Excuse me, what??? The whole reason I needed a contractor was because I needed the sump pump to plug directly into an outlet! He tells me that he thought it was better to put the outlet close to the crawlspace door and that's why he needed an extension cord, because the outlet was too far away from the sump pump cord. I tell him that he did not do the job correctly and that I needed the outlet close enough to the sump pump so that the cord could be plugged directly into it AND he still needed to address my AC not working.

He insisted that he did nothing to the AC wiring and that it must be an issue with the AC or the thermostat. Both are fairly new and it was highly unlikely that it was not his fault. He insisted that I needed to call an AC person to come look at what the problem could be and repeatedly insisted that he did nothing wrong.

At 7:30 he comes back into the house and simply says, Money, give me money. My husband came home from work at this point and told Vlad that he must have done something wrong, crossed a wire, something, because there was no way this was not his fault. We wrote him a check for less than what we agreed on, because come on! He got a bit ugly at that but finally left.

We had no choice but to call the AC company that services our furnace/AC. That was a $155 service call. While we were waiting for them to show, I went to do a load of laundry only to find that there was no power running to the washer and dryer. My husband went to the breaker box and found that the washer and dryer were now connected to the furnace breaker, so YES ABSOLUTELY he caused the problem because the washer and dryer were previously on their own (correct) breaker.

So, the AC company could not help because it was not an HVAC issue, and I then had to find an emergency electrical company that had a $195 service call fee. No way in hell did I trust Vlad to come back and fix what he messed up. Although the electrical company came Saturday morning, the repair was so extensive (and required an HVAC tech along), the repair could not be done until Monday. We spent 72 hours without AC.

Attached you will see the invoices, showing that yes, it was very much Vlad's fault. We have had to pay over $1300 to fix what he did.

Installing a new outlet on a dedicated circuit breaker is basically Electrician 101.

In addition to this review, I will be filing a complaint with the BBB and seriously considering pursuing legal action - something I have never done in all my many years of being a consumer/customer.

We hired a service from Angi's List to have a wall knocked down in our home.    Sooo we had to have some electricity rerouted. The electrician, they brought with them, completely bailed on us and left us with wires hanging and outlets exposed. With two boys and two dogs we had to find an electrician reliable and fast. We gave Johnny a call and he really came through for us. He  was friendly, reasonable, and just an over all a really cool guy. The electrical  work was neat and thorough. We will be using his services for our basemanent and any other future projects.

Our Generac whole house generator failed to come on during a multi-hour power outage on a Sunday morning. The Generac support line recommended AL Electric as the closest dealer. Andrey picked up the phone after two rings, came out within an hour, and had our generator running within 2 minutes. (The generator had an error code that required dealer service.) His charge for an emergency visit on a Sunday morning was very reasonable and he will be coming back later in the week to do full maintenance on the unit. As the Generac support person said, you need to have a dealer do maintenance on it yearly so AL Electric will be our regular service. Andrey is also very friendly and knowledgeable.

Our Condo building uses ABS Electric for our common area electrical repairs and equipment replacement.  Have not had a job they could not do.
My wife and I had used them in the past in our condo unit for a chandelier move and adding a couple of dimmer switches.  All went well.
Today we used them to add two ceiling can lights with dimmer switches and rough out a wall in our bedroom so we could add an electric fireplace.  More work then I imagined but they tackled the job of moving conduit pipes that where there, adding a junction box and another  two outlets. Brian and Jason were on time, worked hard, did a couple of great installations and left the area neat and clean.I thought the price was fair. I feel comfortable recommending ABS Electric to my condo neighbors.

In Town remains 5 star all the way.  I've since had them come do additional relatively small jobs, all excellent.  Even better, they stand behind their work no matter what (I'm NOT meaning to imply they did poor work, sometimes things just fail).  This is something you don't see every day anymore, but greatly appreciated as a customer.  All this combined will keep me a LOYAL customer for all my electrical work.  Thanks again, In Town.

Very unprofessional and questionable business practices.  Overpriced cash grab for 2 minutes of work and less than 10 minutes total between pulling into my driveway and leaving, taking advantage of someone selling a home.

PES was asked to come essentially remove one screw and charged $175.  Robert left our home without providing a receipt and then five days later, reached back out saying he realized that more work was needed which would be an additional $775.  This was a simple job within a town he is supposedly familiar with that he was happy to do, collect payment on, and leave.  Either he was incompetent enough to not realize what needed to be done when he was standing in front of a sub panel or he was looking to further try and take advantage of us.  Regardless of which is accurate, I would never have them back in my home working on anything.

Unfortunately, their lack of professionalism does not end there but instead extends to a receipt ultimately being produced that states something to the effect of my work doesn't satisfy the inspection report.  This man was never  shown an inspection report or any other documentation for that matter.  He also proceeded to reply to another negative review posted by my wife in which he fabricated a quote to paint her in a negative light.

I have absolutely no respect for anyone who runs a business this way and even if I could give a zero star review, it would be too generous.

As with others, I needed an electrician on short notice after my regular electrician, who had promised to work that day, bailed at the last minute. I needed to dry out a basement that had had a water leak but had no electrical outlets to plug anything into. I called Sal at 7:45 am and he met me at 9:30 am that same morning...he was finished and I was running fans and a dehumidifier by noon. The work was quality and the price was fair. It's been three weeks - all is good and the basement is dry. Very grateful for the quick turnaround - same day! - and good work.

They are really professional. I need to change the electrical panel and my friend recommended Mike. He came to my house and inspected and told me there is no need to upgrade to the more expensive 200 A panel since there are not many high power equipment. Later to convince the village that there is no need to upgrade, he came again to take photos. The quote he gave me is also very reasonable. And during the day when his staff came to work, Mike also came later to inspect and answer any questions I had. So I really appreciate their service. Both Mike and his staff are really good. The only concern would be that they don't have many people, and might have a lot of work load, so it might take some time to arrange the work date.

I reached out to Shock Tech 2 to request a quote for a porch light that flickers or doesn't turn on only when it's cold out, and a garage keypad that had recently started flickering, as well. Because I know very little about electrical wiring, I was worried the two were related and costs would be high. Jamie, the owner, quickly responded back that he was booked out for a while, but that the garage keypad could just be a battery issue with a simple fix. It turns out it was. He saved me a lot of money and left me with the impression that this company has integrity and is trustworthy. When you use the feature of Yelp to get quotes from multiple businesses, the prices range so much, you don't know what you're getting. I have bookmarked Shock Tech 2 for any future repairs because I now trust them more than the competition. Thank you!

I love Don. He will give you an honest price and do an honest job. In my book, it doesn't get better than that.

The pricing is confusing. I was charged an $89 fee to show up which I understood as what would typically be the diagnostic fee and then $125/hr. The guy was here for 20 min, could not actually do the repair, and needed to go do research to see if the parts were available to do the work and I am left with a $214 bill. As an architect who works with construction people on a daily bases, this is not how I have ever seen someone do business. I would say to make sure that they have the capability to do the job and get everything in writing beforehand.
