Best Businesses in Illinois

Stefan was at my house less than 30 minutes after I contacted him, and had the whole issue figured out and fixed in under an hour. Highly recommended!

We moved to a row house in Lincoln Park. The row house was built in 1888 and had some significant electrical issues including and not least of which was not being up to code. Christian and Romero were on time, possessed great attitudes and were a pleasure to work with on top of being excellent electricians. They were professional, efficient, and it was evident that they take great pride in their craft - as they should! The both of them went above and beyond and we are so impressed. I would gladly work with Sims and Sons again, and I am grateful to have found a company and team that makes customer service such a priority. Truly outstanding, top notch work! Thank you, Christian and Romero!

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.

Very satisfied with Ted's service and professionalism. He responded quickly, quoted a fair price for the work, completed the job right away and left the work area clean as a whistle. I have found my new electrician!

Joe is still the absolute best electrician around! If you have an older home (ours are over 100+) and have knob and wire he will know how to take care of  it.  He's installed numerous ceiling fans, ran an outlet to directly behind our mounted tv to hid the cords and most recently added an additional breaker.  His pricing can't be beat and he's fast, trustworthy and all around good guy.  

In the future I plan on hiring him again to instal an electric power supply for our smart car - something he's getting more and more jobs doing as of late.

Don't hesitate to hire him!

Chris was AMAZING! He was super reliable and took such great care in my forever home. He has come back twice and each time he has exceeded my expectations and I've already given his info to many friends who could use some electrical work. He hung 3  huge chandeliers with care and even made one work that didn't come with the parts needed from the manufacturer. He then hung an additional 6 other lights and even changed all my lightbulbs so they matched in color!

He also came back and hung two tvs for me the second visit which I can assure you will not be his last!

Thank you Chris and team for amazing and fast service  and being such a great person overall!

Appreciate you and your team!  See you soon!

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!

Ryan hung a ceiling fan that I was unable to hang safely and had given up -- though I'd successfully hung the exact model in another room in the house.  He's a creative problem solver, and we carried on an interesting conversation as he worked.  Final cost was LESS than he estimated.

I learned about Highlights Chicago through online forums as they were a recommended installer for EV chargers.

I spoke with Boz and he provided a detailed explanation of how they were going to route the NEMA outlet from the basement, where my box was located, up to the garage. It was not easy as it needed to be routed through tight spaces and crawspace, but they were able to get it done.

The total job took about 3-4 hours, with Mladen and Kaplan as my techs. The two were very knowledgeable, friendly, and answered all my questions. When they were servicing the work, they laid tarp to ensure my basement did not get dirty. They brought cleaning spray and cleaned after themselves once the job was finished.

Should I move houses and need a new EV charging port, I will be going back to Highlights. Competitive prices + professionalism was huge in my experience.

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

A great experience!

Jose from Tweaks & Finishes was very quick to reply to communications and then to submit his bid.

He priced the job very competitively, scheduled it for later that day, arrived a few minutes early.

He unpacked and installed the fixture correctly, carefully, and even requested my confirmation of approval (placement, pendant light height, etc.) at each step.

He worked cleanly, fast, was 100% competent, and very friendly the whole time.

No surprises or disappointments.

Really an exceptional experience.

Highly recommend Jake and his team for electrical projects large and small. Early on during COVID he installed a new outlet so we could relocate a desk and while there provided some options for adding light to our dimly lit basement. We finally contacted him for the basement work and he responded right away and was able to come within a few days. The basement looks fantastic and Jake went out of his way making multiple trips to stores looking for hard to find parts. Fair prices and high quality work!

What more can I say about these guys. Professional, courteous, thorough and they warranty their work. I had them quote out a $20k job with fixtures and not only did they complete it early, they also managed to save me quite a bit under budget. I also had them do some stuff around my condo and they also did great work. I highly recommend them for any project big or small.

We had an electrical issue come up and Kinetic Energy responded immediately. We were under a time constraint and Tracy called back and was able to schedule an electrician the next day. Carlos was able to find the problem and solve it immediately. Both Tracy and Carlos are true professionals. It is so hard to have someone call you back let alone do a great job. kinetic energy did both. They will be our go-to from here on out.

TOM Electric Services is an excellent company for electrical repairs. The electricians are extremely knowledgeable and experienced. They provide great customer service and have always been able to answer questions, solve problems, and other issues with my electrical system. I highly recommend them!

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!

Alex responded to my posting quickly, was clear on costs, and came out at 8am the following day as promised. I gave wrong information on parts and he was ready with solutions to salvage the job and gave great advice. Would definitely hire again.

The owner contacted me right away and had a very reasonable price.  He was also able to come out very quickly and got the job done in a hassle free manner.  

I would highly recommend things 2 fix!  I had my kitchen faucet replaced.
