Best Businesses in Illinois

ACDC electricity is an amazing company I would definitely do business with them again very professional, straight to the point, good prices, Stephon is the Man he was great to work with.

We had just got a new condo and immediately had an issue with the high-end, really expensive fridge.
It was a nightmare.
We had an appliance guy show up who did absolutely nothing helpful, and charged us full price for the house call.
Thankfully, Darrell showed up at our place next, and was extremely professional, friendly and informative. He not only located the issue, but resolved it (and a number of other outstanding issues with our breakers) in short order. What could've been a very bad situation was handled safely.
I cannot recommend this company highly enough- they've made a customer for life!

I recently had T&D Electrical come to my home to replace certain switches to dimmers and to repair my outdoor light.  The work that was performed by Rodrigo and Ryan was well-explained and efficient.  They were respectful of how turning off the power in my home would impact my ability to work at home.  They were also very respectful of my home and neighbors.  I highly recommend T&D Electrical for any work you need to have performed.

After 2 other electricians promised me quotes and never got back to me, Ted showed up, quoted a fair price and knocked the work out on the same day. He was thorough, patiently answered all of my questions and explained everything he had to do in detail. I'd highly recommend Honey Do.

This was the second visit from Joe. This time it was an additional light and switch I needed installed in a closet.  Joe came out less than 24 hours later, had everything required for the installation, and very quickly had the service run and the switch and light installed.  I highly recommend Joe for any electrical work in your home.

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

Edward was awesome! He was very helpful and answered all of my questions. Very communicative! He and his team installed five pot lights and a second switch in our hallway. They did a wonderful job and was incredibly efficient. We love our new lights!

Had Ryan come out to repair a few lights and outlets that weren't working properly. He was able to diagnose the problem and fix the issues. He realized I liked to try my hand at home repairs and gave me some tips and advice for fixing and diagnosing problems myself in the future. Good work by an honest guy.

I can't say enough about these guys!!!  I reached out to 3-4 electricians to get a quote to install 3 unique ceiling fans.  Their quote came in lower than most of the others, but I just got a good feeling when speaking to the lady on the phone.  They seemed much more straightforward than the other guys.  The lights took some assembly, and it took their electrician (who was SO friendly and hard working) half a day to install them, due to the fact that two were not working from the factory.  He spent more than an hour on the phone with customer service trying to diagnose the problem.  I thought, great...now I have to wait a few more days and pay double to have them installed given how much time they spent.  I was wrong.  He offered to come back when the new lights came in.  WOW!  That's customer service.  These guys have earned my business for as long as I can imagine!

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

Overall great experience with Jose the owner.  I am an active duty Solider currently not in the Chicagoland area and Jose was able to assist with a dry wall repair in my ceiling.  He updated me through the process was ok with communication via text and phone.  This process was super easy especially considering I was not present on site.  I highly recommend them.

Jake came by to install our ventilation fan and a new bathroom vanity. He was super friendly, quick, and reasonably priced. Highly recommend!

Blacklite Electricians are awesome!!! We will not use anyone else. We used their services 2 times and both times, they were on time, professional, friendly and completed their work as they promised.

First experience was with Johnny. Very nice and friendly. He even educates while he does his work. Had a nice conversation throughout listening to some of his stories.

Second time, requested for Johnny but he was unable to make it, so Neville came over. Not only did he install Nest, fix switches, take care of some non-working outlets but also installed a garbage disposable including the plumbing aspects! WoW! that's not his expertise and he was clear about it but he figured out everything as to how it works quickly and helped install a new garbage disposal. It was messy but he did not mind! He educated us on how to fix certain things as well. It took an hour and half to complete the work but he charged us only for 1 hour. He also gave us the new customer discount a second time.

We will praise him for using text only as well. He was prompt in responding to our request both times. Set up schedule, sent us the amount we owed all through text and it works well!

Highly recommend for great, professional service at affordable price!

We've used Kinetic Energy for some small jobs and liked them very much.  Just recently we hired them to (1) to remove an existing dual bulb motion sensor floodlight and then, in it's place, set up a Ring-brand motion sensor with a camera and floodlights on the alley side of our garage, and (2) install a Ring-brand doorbell camera/motion sensor on our front door.  The work included making sure both units were connected to our WiFi and working properly.  We got an estimate for the work weeks before we could get on the schedule.  Today we got the invoice for the completed work, and it was exactly the same amount as the estimate.  The installer Steve was very friendly, efficient, explained well what he was doing and didn't leave so much as a speck of dust when he was done.  This is an Oak Park business, owned by Oak Park residents.  SHOP LOCAL!

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.

I have used them a few times when I moved a sauna to a new home. The y did a great job taking it apart and putting it back together. I would definitely use them for any project.
