Best Businesses in Illinois

I had an issue last week where I had partial power in my apartment. Stefan was very responsive and was able to come the very next day. He arrived on time and was very helpful and professional. He walked me through options on what we could potentially do as a fix. In the end, he was able to fix the issue without it being a huge expense which was amazing and I was very thankful for. I am still going to consider a more long term fix that Stefan suggested, and would definitely use him for that work as well.

Very responsive and prompt service. Dino and Eli were friendly and professional - answered all our questions and got the job done without issue. Pricing was fair and they picked up equipment from Home Depot for us so we wouldn't have to go. Highly recommended.

Called T&D to install motion lights for our dark walkway.  Rodrigo was on time, reviewed the projects and provided information and also suggested the type of device to install that would provide the most light.  We purchased the devices, called T&D and specifically requested that Rodrigo return.  He returned this morning on time and completed the job.  He was so nice and efficient.  Highly recommend T&D and Rodrigo!

I was a little mystified and over my head rewiring some outlets in my condo rehab; one light circuit kept tripping a breaker. Based on these great Yelp reviews, I called Ted, and couldn't be more pleased with his service. He was at my door in Wheaton literally within an hour, and on short notice. Knowledgable and friendly, he showed me where I had miswired a plug, and offered some tips for future DIY wiring, all for a very reasonable rate. Highly recommended. Thanks, Ted.

Great service and work. I highly recommend. Installed power to front of house and a chandelier.

So I just purchased a new home and having some circuit breaker issues. Found Chris on Yelp very nice guy. Very responsive. Came right out, Fix the issue under 15 minutes so I will definitely be calling him back out to finish the work, Definitely give Chris a call or give him a chance if you are having any type of issues with circuit breakers or electrical issues definitely recommend this business. Thanks, Chris

Esteban came out on a weekend, and was quick, fair and thorough.
Edward replied quickly and was completely honest with what needed to be done then, and what would need further review.

While trying to install a new lighting fixture in the basement of our 1920s home, we encountered some truly baffling issues that, among other things, affected the outlets in our living room upstairs. After trying to troubleshoot the issue every way we knew how, we consulted Yelp to see if there was an electrician nearby who might be able to sort things out for us.

After reading the glowing reviews of Ryan Electrical Power and Lighting, it was an easy decision. Ryan responded to my request almost immediately and was at our home in Oak Park within an hour.

As we expected, our electrical issues weren't exactly straightforward but Ryan took his time to locate and remedy the problem and, in the process, eased our concerns about the safety and longevity of our wiring.

Ryan was extremely professional and courteous (he chatted with my dad and explained everything he was doing every step of the way so we know what to be on the lookout for in the future) and his rates were really fair. (When we inquired about the possibility of installing our new Nest Thermostat, he even recommended that we just call an HVAC professional who would probably charge us less!)

While we hope we don't have any electrical/wiring issues in the near future, we most certainly will call Ryan first if anything comes up!

I work in lighting and this team is always my go to! They are very knowledgeable, timely, hard working & all around a great team to work with. I really appreciate using Boz, Kemal & the team for clients.

Great job all the way around!!! Excellent work, fantastic attention to detail. Am definitely going to hire again.

Needed a new light fixture hung in the kitchen. The guys were courteous, professional, and thorough. We plan on using them again soon.

Needed a Tesla wall charger installed in our garage.  Jake showed up on time and offered a few different options with full explanation of each.

Once we agreed on scope and price he went to work.  You could tell he has installed a ton of these.   Job was completed in a timely manner and he left the area cleaner than when he started.  

Charger has been used daily for a few months now without issue.  Would recommend.

Highly recommend this company.  Johnny was both professional and most importantly got the job done.  

In addition, we called during this outbreak and he wore a mask and gloves, maintained a distance and I also noticed he sprayed the area with disinfectant without me asking him to.  

Thanks Johnny!

I am going to make this as short as possible without skimping on the important details.

Purchased a home in Forest Park which required some outdoor electrical work to be completed to be in compliance with the Village Inspector's requirements. It is my understanding that this is very basic work and most older homes in the Village require this work upon sale.
Hired Kinetic based on recommendation from my agent and Yelp/Facebook/Nextdoor reviews. The prior owner received a quote of $1200 for the work from another company - I sent that estimate to Kinetic and asked if they could match it. They sent out someone to take a look and afterwards quoted me at $1400 via email. I agreed to the $1400 (also via email) as the company was so highly rated and I wanted it to be done correctly.
Sequence of events:
1. Work was performed - required the power to be out from 8am to around 5pm on a weekday.
2. Village inspector and Kinetic rep returned to do the post-work inspection. The work failed inspection. I'm not exactly sure how you fail inspection on a routine job.
3. They came back on a Saturday morning to correct the work. Re-inspection occurred 4 days later and it passed. I was told more than once that they would be reducing the bill due to my pain and suffering - having failed inspection and because we had to have our power out for another 3 hours to have the issue corrected. At this point I was still considering a 3/5 review as the rep was very apologetic about this whole mess and came out on a weekend as we are WFH during the week and need power.
4. Received the invoice totaling $1712 due after a $250 pain and suffering discount. Emailed them back as I'm not sure how $1400 became $1,962 when it was supposed to be less than the original estimate for my trouble. They said they had a conversation with my husband about additional charges? No way in hell that happened. Nonetheless, they said it happened when the in person estimate was made. However, we received the written estimate for $1400 after the in person estimate. Anything that was (or wasn't) discussed should have been reflected in the written estimate.
5. They agreed to $1400 to put this job behind us and we paid it so I could be done with the mess as well.
I have all of this in writing and I keep meticulous notes on anything that I pay for. I didn't even want to waste any more keystrokes on this, but since I hired them partially based on Yelp reviews, I felt that I needed to share my experience. I am giving them 2 stars only because everyone was pretty pleasant. Just wish it would have turned out better.

They also drilled a large screw through my newly-finished porch. No warning on that. Picture attached.

I had 3 people come out for discussions on our project and Tom came up with great recommendations for outdoor installation of lights and fixed some landscaping spotlights. He was reliable, helped pick out products and did a great job.  I'd definitely recommend him and will use him for future projects.

Ted changed out fixtures throughout our house, including a difficult chandelier in our dining room. He also fixed a hot outlet and looked at our garage electrical. He was on time, fairly priced, and did great work. We'll be using him again.

Pros: responsive, punctual, honest, respectful of my home, fair pricing
Cons: none found
Alex did a great job replacing a broken switch. He responded quickly to my initial request and was fast in communicating throughout the scheduling process. We are very happy with the quality of work.
We'll likely have to have most of our old wiring replaced and are looking forward to have Alex and his team back. Seems to be a newer company, and I'm glad we took a chance on them.

Phenomenal experience from start to finish!

Let's start with the booking process - so simple! Everything done online , could easily pick an appointment convenient for us, including going into late evening.

Next, the punctuality - showed up perfectly on schedule (in fact we weren't ready and D'Angelo our Fixer was kind enough to wait).

We had a lot of odd jobs around the house - the most time consuming of which was putting up wallpaper. D'Angelo was clearly experienced, gave a fair estimate of the time and did a phenomenal job.

Finally , settling up was so easy, he set a clock for the time spent doing active work and charge was exactly proportional to time used . Spoke to 3 different handymen and their rate was the most fair and hastle free.

I will request D'Angelo the Fixer anytime we need a hand around the house !
