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!

I own a construction company and we have been working with All Power Electric since 2016, is a truly family owned business, Tony is very professional and know what he's doing! Grace ( his daughter) running the day by day operation doing a great job! This company is great to work with! I  would highly recommend them to anyone.

I purchased two bathroom light fixtures to be replaced in the bathroom in my home. Omar called before he came out to let me know he is on his way. He put up the two light fixtures in the bathroom and Omar is all ways nice and polite and he is A great Electrician. Darren

I came in and I'm Hispanic he cussed at me and called me a Spic that he doesn't need my business and my money is no good here he also had a gun and has a threatening demeanor

I received True Power Electric as a referral through Service Master.  I was looking for an electrician to put in some recessed lighting and change out some existing fixtures.  Dion Jones called me first thing the next morning and said he could come take a look at 5pm that evening.  After seeing my situation, we scheduled the following Sat to come out and do the work.  I was unsure about my the fixtures I had purchased and exactly what I should do.  He gave me very confident answers on what to do and when he saw my very dim lighting in my bedroom, suggested a couple of cans in there too.  He has a great eye and knows what will work.  Turns out that the wiring in bedroom was constructed very poorly and he was having trouble finding the connections.  I told him we could hold off and I could get the blueprints for him.  When I came back to the room to check on things, he said he finally found the connections and was moving forward.  This took much more time than expected, but the final result was incredible!  I could not be more happy with how smoothly the day went.  His estimate was very reasonable and he did the work in one day.  I had a quote from someone else for more money and multiple days to do the job...In short, Dion is electric rock star!! Look no further!

Frank Perlongo did a lot of electric work in my old Berwyn bungalow.  He's very reasonable and does top quality work. He's a perfectionist!  I will always call him for any job, big or small. I highly recommend him.  He had to re-do my ceiling fans and other electric that was done incorrectly. He really knows his stuff!

I tried doing some amateur electrical work on an outlet in my kitchen and suddenly several outlets and the refrigerator were out. It was Presidents Day weekend, and no one answered my call except John. He agreed to come the next Tuesday, and he fixed the problem: a circuit breaker that wasn't reset. He was totally on top of it.

We hired Malek to install a ceiling fan with a light in our guest room.

When their electrician Peter first came out, he discovered that we did not have the appropriate electrical box to hold the weight of a fan, so it was going to require a trip to HomeDepot to get the necessary parts. There was an added fee ($50) for the trip, but we were grateful that he could go and come back in the same day instead of having to reschedule the appointment and leaving us with a hole in the ceiling.

After getting the fan installed, Peter discovered that we were sent the wrong control switch when we bought the fan, so the light feature couldn't be dimmed as it was intended. He was able to offer an immediate solution, but had to go back to HomeDepot for more parts. Not only were we again grateful that he was able to go and comeback in the same day, but we weren't charged an additional fee for the service--they only charge you once, even if they need to make multiple trips for parts!

Unfortunately, even after attempting to fix the light feature, it was still not dimming properly. It turned out, that we weren't sent the wrong control switch, we were sent the completely wrong light package for our fan (this was the fault of the online company we purchased the fan from, not Malek). That meant we had to wait for the correct parts to be sent to us and reschedule Malek to come back out to uninstall the wrong light fixture and install the correct one.

Malek was able to get us a second appointment quickly and they even sent Peter back out. It was really nice to have the same electrician who knew our exact problem! Once we had the correct parts, the fix was super quick and easy...and we weren't charged any additional fees for the reinstallation!!

Technically, Malek's fee for the fan installation ($275) was hirer than a few other places we got quotes from, but the customer service was so great, we felt like we got a good deal and we would absolutely use them again and recommend them to anyone!

We also had Peter install a dimmer switch in our master bedroom--that process was entirely problem free. It seemed a bit expense ($150) considering it's a relatively easy DIY project, but the electrical in our house was not done very well and it was just nice to have it all taken care of.

Now that we know what a great company Malek is, we will also plan to use them in the future for their heating and cooling services.

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.

My new home was in need of a ton of new lighting and electrical work. When Jonathan came out to give his estimate, I knew he was the right guy for the job for many reasons. He was communicative, thorough, and very knowledgeable. I had a pretty clear vision for what I wanted, so he listened and made sure he understood every detail to get the project done right. There were also a few areas where I was uncertain and he provided me with some really awesome options that ended turning out even better than I could have imagined. Jonathan is a real pro and he will definitely be my go-to for any electrical needs.

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.

ABS was recommended by a residential lighting retailer.  I emailed them on a Saturday, and got a response the next day!  We scheduled an appointment for an estimate, then received a quote a few days later.  The ABS team came out promptly at the agreed upon time, and were extremely professional.  They installed a medium-sized chandelier in a vaulted foyer in about an hour.   Highly recommended!!  Bryan Rice and the ABS team will not disappoint.

They were able to send someone out for a very small job within a couple of days of my contacting them. The labor cost was reasonable and the electrician was very professional.

Dave saved me!  after spending hours trying to install a new thermostat (i'm not at all handy) I called Patterson's.  he arrived in 15 minutes and had me up and running in no time.

I called Sal last Monday morning and he was out to my house within an hour of my call.  He diagnosed the problem in our garage within minutes and explained to me step by step what he did to fix the issue.  Fair price and great service.  I wouldn't hesitate to use him again.  Thanks Sal!

My bf and I used Corrigan and Freres for whole house rewiring, replacing  the electric panel, adding outlets, adding a ceiling fan, etc.  They did a great job!  Mike Corrigan, the owner, gave us clear quotes that allowed us to pick and choose what we wanted done.  He got the permit for the work and it passed inspection.  Ron and Oliver were our electricians, who each have decades of experience.  Their work was neat and done in a timely manner.  My boyfriend works from home, so scheduling wasn't a problem for us.    We recommend Corrigan and Freres.   :-)
