Best Businesses in Illinois

We bought an older property that needed a major electrical update and everything brought up to code. Stefan took his time and walked us through the entire process from start to finish. He was timely, polite, and very informative. His pricing was fair and fit our budget nicely. He was right on schedule and had everything done within a super convenient timeframe. We'll be sure to give him a call back for any of our future projects. I would highly recommend giving Stefan at AC/DC a call for any electrical needs!

Darrell was excellent.  Referred by a friend and probably the third electrician I have had at my house for various things (hanging a tv, setting up lights in bedroom etc).   He was head and shoulders above them.   I had what looked like a simple install of a fan.   He told me exactly which fan would fit in my tight space and had to do some creative work in the ceiling.   The builder made a short cut and out two pieces of 2x4 above the drywall and installed the cheap $20 ones from Home Depot 10 years ago.   He made some cuts and reworked the problem.   So I had him install my ring security cam on the third floor.  

Super professional, knowledgeable beyond plug and play and really efficient.   I will no longer have to take a chance and hire some guy.   I erased the other two companies who did ok work.   I will be passing his info onto friends.   He's busy and charges accordingly.   But trust me having electric done wrong or by a guy without his experience will come back to bite you.   Use him

Great to work with. Very skilled and patient. Quick response times. Very high quality work. Will be our go-to for all electrical work.

Response prompt. I took a chance as I had not used this handyman before but I needed my yard light post fixture repaired. My appointment was for 930, I left the fixture between my storm door and house door just in case i didn't get back in time from dropping off my kids to school. I literally made it back home at about 940 and the post fixture was already repaired and Ted and his son were waiting in the van. I was impressed! I would use this company again for sure

Absolutely best electrician I've ever hired! I am currently working on a kitchen/office remodel and Joe did a great job with everything. He installed can lights, outlets, switches, and so much more. At first I thought it was a small job, but then it led to a larger project. He was on time every day and was always able to squeeze me into his busy schedule. Worked fast but correctly. He really knows his stuff. I will call him again for all my future electrical needs! :-)  A++ in my book. 6 stars if I could.

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!

Received great and prompt service from Edward and Julio to install a nest doorbell that needed extra work than the simple install on the packaging. Julio was very respectful of the end cosmetics and worked with us on very professionally the project. Bonus points for mask wearing!

My in-laws had trouble with service company they hired to fix their range 2 days ago.  Long story short, the technician blew up their fuse and their whole electric box went out. On top of being on the edge with all the trouble that was done by the repair technician, they had the hardest time to finding an electrician for an emergency appointment. They were told one will come that night but ended up being a no show.

I contacted Ryan electrical power for a quote that night and he responded right away. Given that it was already about 10pm, my in-laws chose to just wait for an electrician from Hobson to come the following morning.

Thursday morning comes and I get a call that the guy was no show again. I gave them Ryan's number and not only was he willing to squeeze them in for that day but he actually took time to listen to their problem and he was able to walk them to fix their issue of restarting their electrical panel.  Folks, this is when you know that one is a master of their craft. It ended up that they didn't even need to have an electrician come over.

Thank you so much for your expertise that you were able to help 2 strangers when they were very frantic and tired. We have saved your information and will recommend you whenever a need for an electrician arises.

Kemal is super responsive and they got my problem fixed very quickly. He was also reasonable on price. I highly recommend going with Highlights. You won't be disappointed.

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

Jose and Rodney were absolutely great to work with. Not only did they do an amazing job, but it was all for a great price. They were tasked with replacing our track lighting with recessed lights, as well as, patching any holes and repainting our entire ceiling. We are beyond satisfied with their work and would recommend them to anyone who needed any sort of electrical or painting work done.

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.

O.K. , so I see the electrical system as one of life's great mysteries.  So, I needed the wizard to help install a new (for me) used kiln.  This piece of equipment is no joke. Pulls lots'a juice and gets very, very hot.  Pictures of the building going up in smoke or the wares melting into a puddle of glass (I'm a worrier) filled my vision.  I called these guys based on some knowledgeable reviews (folks who do not see this skill as magic).  As it turns out. just because your paranoid does not mean that you might not be right.  The owner, Neville sent out a pretty sharp worker dude who picked up on the fact that the  wires did not look quite right.  And...they were not.  He came out personally and made the right call.  Good Job, Performed on time and as promised.  Can't ask for more than that.  I hate it when my frears are reinforced but, I'm working on it.  Just not today, today I'm safe and up and running.  Get the right wizard !

I set up an appointment to have someone come out and look at a crackling noise in a light switch. I then googled the symptoms and found out that I just need to replace the switch. I called Kinetic back and canceled my appointment. They called me back 20 seconds later and gave me a helpful tip on how to install the switch.

Kinetic Energy since then has worked on my parents house and mine in Oak Park and we have both been very happy with their service and friendly personable electricians.

I recently hired this electrician to install a Ring doorbell in my home and I couldn't be happier with his work! He was very professional, promptly arrived on time, and was able to install the device quickly without any problems. He even took the time to explain how the doorbell works and answer any questions I had. The installation itself was seamless and the doorbell works perfectly. I truly appreciate his attention to detail and dedication to providing top-notch service. I would highly recommend this electrician to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled professional. Top-notch service and a true 5-star experience! Thank you, Tom!

Outstanding very communicative on time reliable all above in every category.  Always answers always explains what is needled and why

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.

Note: I have put the same below review on Google a week back, they responded in the comments that they will review my appointments but no one has reached out to me so far to understand why they provided such a bad service. Probably this is their business model, if they do a bad job then just ignore that customer and their review and just move on.
I have have used fixer in two of my houses and had the same issue with both these places
1. At one house I wanted sink faucet to be replaced.
2. At another house wanted deadbolt to be replaced.

Let
me tell each case in detail
1. At place 1 kitchen faucet was leaking and the issue was with the facuet pipe wire, and the fixer went and brought a replacement, while keeping the shopping clock run. Guess what, he brought a wrong pipe, and he could not fix it. And I was charged the whole amount for 1 hour of work plus shopping time, while the issue was not fixed. While I passed it off and left without complaining.
2. I booked them again for my another house to replace deadbolts in my door. Guess what, the fixer brought the wrong product and spent lot of time fixing that wrong deadbolt on my door, while I was charged for the time and also for shopping. Since he could not fix it, he came the next day with another fixer and fixed it. Again I was charged for the next days hourly effort.

This time I complained because it costed me almost 400$ (excluding the cost of the deadbolts) to get the deadbolts replaced.
I have never had such expensive deadbolt replacements in my life, I had to argue with them to get the price reduced, and they gave me a paltry 25$ to 35$ discount.

Pathetic way to bleed customers money. I would not recommend fixer to anyone. And BEWARE new/existing customers, if they bring wrong products, talk to them to cancel your entire charge, if not you will end up paying 400$ instead of 139$.
