Best Businesses in Illinois

I cannot say enough AMAZING things about Stefan and the work he does. 100% WOULD RECOMMEND! We recently moved into a new home in the Lakeview area and needed quite a bit of electrical work done - moving a chandelier (in our main living/dining area) and several other fixtures (both inside and outside) as well as pulling a new 220V line to our roof deck. Given the chandelier was located in such a central area, I was nervous to work with someone whose craftmanship I had not seen before - but it was pristine! You would never know the ceiling was cut into and the fixture moved several feet because Stefan is so talented. Additionally, Stefan made a late-night house call for us to fix an issue we had with an appliance on our roof and stayed until the issue was completed, even in the dark and freezing cold, just to make sure the issue was truly fixed and we weren't left in a bind. He's a great guy to work with, is very prompt/easy to schedule, and I'd trust him with any job! We've referred him to several of our neighbors and they all have had excellent experiences as well.

Had an old rusty bathroom exhaust fan that needed to be replaced so I tried to fix it myself. Once I realized how big of a job it was I got a few quotes. They were outrageous in the thousands of dollars! But when I called sims and sons their quote was more than HALF of the other guys. Darrell And Enis came over right away, supplied the fan (at NO up charge! Everyone else does), and installed it beautifully. Highly recommend these guys!!!

Hmmm I am a little baffled by the many 5 star reviews.  After calling about 8 electricians, T&D Electrical was the first who had availability within a reasonable amount of time.  Upon making my appointment they gave me a verbal quote said they would send an email confirmation.  Never did.  I called back to confirm my appointment and ask that they send the quote in writing via email, to which they said they would.  Never did.   Appointment day comes and they called me 2 hours prior to my appointment to say they were on their way.  OK, fine, better early than late I guess.  Two men show up, one of whom seems to be more of an apprentice and there to learn/hand over tools, etc.  They resolved the problem in exactly an hour.  The guy writes out the bill and it is about 3 times what I expected, so I ask him to break it down for me.   He then said it was for 1.5 hours of work and 2 men at $X per hour.   The fact that I was being charged for 2 men was ridiculous as one literally just stood there and handed over approximately 2 tools.  I know what a screwdriver looks like, I could have done that. Luckily I showed him that his arrival time, based on his phone call and the time of completion, made it only an hour of work, so he adjusted the time. But I still had to pay for 2 men, for what was really a one man job.  So if you do decide to choose them, ask how many men and get that in writing, otherwise be prepared to pay up.

I called yesterday afternoon and Ted came out the next morning. He was extremely knowledgeable and able to do something for me that 2 other electricians said wasn't possible, and still stuck by the price he gave over the phone.  Out of all the people I had come out for a quote he was by far the best.

Joe was fantastic. He corrected on my miswired pantry lights, installed can lights in the kitchen, and rewired the ceiling fan as well. Moving the switches to a new wall he made look so easy. He did this all in one day! My mother came in and said, the lights look like they have always been there. My son came in and said, Where's the dust and mess? Joe also has a cover for his drill that he created himself to eliminate the dust offspray. AAAA++++ professional and a delight to talk with. Will use again and recommend undoubtedly. Go with joe!

Christian was responsive and professional. He fixed the issue quickly and within 24 hours of requesting the quote on Yelp.

Totally recommend if you're in need of any electrical jobs. Edward was great about providing a fair and accurate estimate. Esteban was on time, very professional and did a great job in installing our new living room light fixture. Job required him to move and center a new box on our sloped/vaulted ceilings. Also appreciated the follow-up call to make sure we were satisfied. Couldn't be happier!!!

After removing a fixture we lost power on our entire second floor. It was well beyond y capability as we are in an older house.

I tried several electricians and since it was a weekend nobody responded, even several days after I called.

Ryan picked up and was at my home working on the issue, which was complex, within 2 hours.  He was able to fix our issue and get things working again while also installing the new fixture.

I'd recommend Ryan for any electrical need

Have used Highlights several times over the past 12 months and every time they are effective and efficient. Most recently in December Kaplan and Cris were great at installing a new garage fan and light and even took down and boxed up the old one. Much appreciated and will definitely be using again for any electrical work we need done. Thank you!

Rogelio did a good job on our building. Repaired some outlets, in the apartment, garage, and outside of the building. He shared photos of his progress. We talk over the phone to clarify details and got a quote on the spot for additional work that was necessary and was finished the same day after getting the parts needed.
He is also bilingual, what helps communicating easier for a larger population group.
All good overall.

I highly recommend their services.

They came on time and did an excellent job installing a new outlet,  patched up the wall & painted too.

Their rates are reasonable.  Will use their services again.

Jake and Lenox were a great team- they were efficient and were able to locate the source of our electrical problem. They replaced 2 GFI's and have literally brought light back into our lives! We'll definitely be using them again.

Kudos for fast, friendly, and great service. I needed some electric work done with a short window to get it finished. The reply to my text was quick. Within an hour an appointment was set for 3 days later which is when I was available. Johnny showed prompt. Got the job done and gave me some great ideas for other remodeling questions. Thanks guys. You are in my phone list and will pass along your great job to others in need of electrical work.

I called Ted just a couple of days before Thanksgiving with an emergency electrical situation in our 110 year old home. He was clearly booked up, but understood our situation was dire and was willing to find a way to fit us in to a very busy schedule. He sent Tara out with an hour and she was able to solve the problem and get our service restored. Ted and his crew are extremely professional and do fantastic work. I recommend Kinetic with my highest regards.

A++ in all aspects. I had great pleasure to hire Tom's company for our house project. The project included multiple rooms. Complete Bath and kitchen electrical renovation. Two bathrooms received outlets, switches, can lights and fans. The kitchen received  new can lights and outlets. Living room got new can lights. We also added wired smoke detectors throughout the house. Tom was a total professional when he came in for the estimate. Everything was explained so that there were no surprises any time during the project and he made sure that we understood the work that was going to take place. Prices were very competitive, and work was done in the time promised. Tom made sure that everything was done right, to code and left everything clean and spotless. I would definitely hire again. Highly recommended.

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.

Fixer was great!
John showed up on time and did two tasks that I've been needing done for the longest time. John even stayed late to fix an item that the original repair did not work for.
I had two items fixed. The first was a pipe that burst on the roof this past winter that provides water to a hose. The second was a power outlet that hasn't worked on the roof since we purchased the house. Both now are working and should be good to go for the future winter.

The lack of the 5th star is two fold.
1) I first tried to schedule the repair a week or two ago, but my message apparently got lost in their inbox
2) There was a shopping fee that I didn't realize would exist. Looks like the shopping time was not included in the hourly rate which is great, but at first I was surprised to see a per item cost and a shopping fee. $50 is still likely less than what the regular hourly rate would have been.

Overall, I will definitely be using them again and will create a list of things I need done around the house.
