Best Businesses in Illinois

It took a second try but Stefan identified and replaced my circuit breaker. He spoke with my warranty company to explain the issue. He identified another electrical
Issue regarding a transformer.

Darrell and team came to install a garage heater yesterday and they did a great job. They were on time, clean, professional, wore masks, and were competitively priced. Not to mention the fact that they're super nice guys. They cleaned up afterward and we are all set to go for a heated winter garage.

Miguel, from T & D,  came to our condo to repair a water heater's 230 volt circuit switch in our utilities closet. He was on time, courteous, and took appropriate Covid safety measures. As I was without hot water, they made a special effort to get the work done in less than 24 hours after I initially called.  Miguel worked quickly to successfully replaced the switch. As with the first time I used T & D, the work was done professionally and in a courteous manner. The cost was very reasonable. I feel fortunate to have found a great electrical service and will definitely use them again as needs arise.

Outstanding father and son duo. Arrived early, got right to work, respected our home, found the problem and completed the work in a little over an hour. /the price was right for the work he had to do and we now have a fixed attic fan!!! Can't say enough good about Ted and his son. They are wonderful.

Joe is the best. Thoughtful. Detail oriented. Fair pricing. He came to our home (built in 1969) and added 38 recessed / can lights all over the house. I almost don't want to review him so he doesn't get booked up, but he deserves all the work that comes his way!

Chris is very responsive, honest and good at what he does. He is the person to call for quick and easy fixes - he says he specializes in service calls (installing light fixtures, troubleshooting things around your house). Definitely give him a call, he'll take care of your project quickly and professionally.

I live in a real old house in Oak Park, tried to replace the possibly just as old light fixture on the porch myself and ran into a lot of rust and stripped wires and stuff I was not expecting so I knew I needed professional help. Edward at Greenline had Esteban out here in just a couple of days (would've been even sooner if I was available) and the job took 15 minutes and it looks great!

Me-can you come over and give me an estimate on a easy open ceiling basement to update some old lights with new up-to-date lights,I'm less than 4miles from you:   Ryan,sure but it's $200 for a diagnostic fee!  Omg!! This guys a jabroni,is that how you make money instead of actually doing the job

My husband and I bought our first house this year, and the electricity was crumbling at best. There were rooms and closets with no overhead fixtures at all. To top of off, our electrical box on our exterior was not up to code for reasons I won't get into it here. To sum it up, our house was a huge undertaking.
Baz came to our house and was very pleasant, as we walked through room by room. He took notes, and even returned promptly in the next couple of days when we got cold feet on some of our decisions (where to relocate ext box). He assured us everything was going to look great, and that our ideas, some feeling too big to take on, we're achievable and would be no problem. Not only that, he cleaned up and removed old cords so that we didn't have a rats nest going to the alley. Amazing!
His team, led by Cristobal and Kaplan, and spent about 2-3 weeks working incredibly hard in our house, in the heat of the summer, and full of dust. They added 100 amp circuit, a new electrical box, circuit board, replaced all switches and outlets, and added all my custom overhead fixtures with such care and precision. They were gracious, and patient when I changed my mind on things and added switches, ect. They kept a steady pace the whole time, and were so polite about coming back to our house when light fixtures arrived after our first large initial push. I would 100% recommend them to my friends and anyone else wondering if these guys are the ones for the job. They sure are!

Steer Clear. This is not a legitimate electrical company. Gave me an estimate and did the electrical work for an EV charger in our condo building. Even though building management didn't request City of Chicago license initially, they checked for it later (it can be asked for at any time) and this company is not licensed in the City of Chicago and its illegal to do residential work without it. The job was done completely wrong and he almost blew the sump pump and electrical to entire building by connecting to a panel inexplicably and was told not to. Installed wiring that was bent and broken and taped together which could have caused shocks and burning. New contractor easily installed it - no bends or breaks. The wall outlet installed was open and exposed, and if water dripped to it could electrocute people. Sloppy, cut corners, dangerous, illegal and not up to code. Absolute garbage, rushed work. Refused to get City of Chicago license and come fix job. We will be pursuing our money back. This is an illegitimate electrical company. Avoid at all costs.

Addendum to review:

Right, I'm not an electrician , but here are couple facts that a real electrician should have known and done, that found out about your job.

You were told by the building engineer to use the 480/277 volt panel because 208/120 was already at the capacity.

You just plainly ignored that and proceeded with your version. Maybe you don't know the difference between two.

You ran 208/ 120 wires through 480/277 panel which was a huge code violation and a human life safety issue.

And that's not all:

Then you spliced those wires inside that panel multiple times -- code violation.

You then decided to use lightning contractor conduit to run the wires and overfill that conduit -- code violation.

You installed the breaker at the wrong panel (which was at capacity) so you overloaded that panel.

The wire was badly scraped

You removed pipe straps and made the electrical conduit loose -- code violation.

J boxes that you installed were unsecured and loose with knock outs missing -- code violation

I'm still waiting on the city of Chicago electrical registration paperwork  from you.

A qualified electrician would know right away that he is working with 480/277 volts and would have informed me that i needed a step down transformer in order for the EV charger to work!

On top things you have charged me over $2K for 2 J boxes and a roll of #6 wire, which costs $600 at the most. The piping was already 97% there , so what took you so long.

It took a qualified electrician a total of 8 hours to remove the faulty work and install everything from scratch including installing the transformer.

We'll happily accept a refund to settle this matter

I reached out for some quotes on replacing an outdoor outlet on Sunday- not only was Jose super responsive, he got me scheduled for the next day! He quoted me a price that he stuck to. He and his partner Rodney are friendly, courteous, conscientious and got the job done in under 30 minutes. They were respectful of my time which I appreciate. I'm happy to have this company in my phone for any future jobs. Highly recommend!!

Great prices, quick work, friendly guy. Called 4 other electricians and they all quoted me about $100-200 for the same job. Definitely recommend.

Neville and Johnny are the absolute best. I wrote a positive review two years ago...haven't needed any other electric work since, but immediately knew I'd want to work with Blacklite again when a problem arose. I had tried to DIY an electrical project and quickly realized I needed a pro - sent a request in late on a Thursday night, emailed and texted with Neville to confirm on Friday morning, and Johnny was here by Friday afternoon. I love that Neville schedules via text, as I was able to make this all happen during a workday morning.

Johnny quickly installed a fixture, and when I mentioned I wouldn't mind a new outlet on another wall, he made that happen too! I have an old home with old wiring and many quirks, so everything is always extra difficult...but he persevered and got everything taken care of. Throughout the process, just like last time, he was also incredibly kind, warm, and patient with my silly questions. He's a truly fantastic guy. (And he even noticed I had a broken floorboard and gave me advice on a fix...how awesome is that???)

I'd also like to note that he was extremely considerate with COVID precautions - wore a mask the entire time (no small feat in my apartment with no AC!), and cleaned up thoroughly. I was nervous to have someone come into my home given the current situation but he was great and I felt very safe.

Their rates could not be more fair. Worth every penny 10x over for the level of service you get. It sounds dramatic, but working with Blacklite boosts my faith in humanity. You can't beat that!

Typical contractor who doesn't commit. Came for a walk thru for an estimate but no follow up and no estimate.

Could not recommend a better electrician!

I had a desire to install ceiling recessed lights and ceiling fans in a few rooms for some time. After doing some research on Yelp, I found Tom and gave him a call. We were able to set up a in-person consultation soon after, where he walked me through the options for recessed LED lights (4in vs 6in) and spacing of said lights. We agreed on an overall plan and start date.

During the project, Tom and his men were timely, clean, and very efficient in their work. They carefully calculated and marked out the placement of the lights and fan on the ceiling in each room for my approval before starting to cut into the drywall. In the end, they had to cut into a surprisingly small amount of the drywall to put everything together. In the two places in each room that they did have to open up the wall, they carefully replaced the drywall, saving me from having to make any large patches before repainting.

I wanted to use a particular smart dimming switch (Brilliant), but it was backordered and did not arrive in time. Tom hooked up everything using temporary switches and came back later to finish the job once they arrived.

Overall, I would definitely use Tom and his men again! I have a couple other projects around the house I've been thinking of (electric car charger, exterior light, replacing track lighting with more recessed lights, etc.) and plan to use Tom for these projects in the future!

Frank is very professional.  Showed up when he said he would, explained what he was doing, and even provided a lower price than what he first quoted.  I will definitely call him again for any electrical job.  Highly recommend!

Very responsive and responsible. Alex tried to help us trouble shoot over the phone to save us money. When that didn't work he showed up promptly, diagnosed the issue, and fixed the bad breaker.

Best pricing around and great young guy working hard for his business. Highly recommended.

I was pleasantly surprised by the professionalism and efficiency of the team I will gladly hire them again. Great job!
Also, with Fixer I had easy and friendly communications - I hily recommend this company.
