Best Businesses in Illinois

They arrived on time for the estimate, quickly assessed the installation I wanted them to do (EV Charging Station) and sent me a competitive estimate the same day. They were able to begin the work almost immediately, arrived on time, were respectful of our property and belongings, and were thorough, quiet, and professional throughout. They cleaned up after the work they performed and  had an excellent work ethic.

Darrell is amazing. Had another electrician come in originally who did an alright job. Darrell came in and fixed everything himself and replaced my disposal.

We purchased a 2-flat building and T&D Electrical helped us get up to code in order for ComEd to install a permanent connection. Marcus was incredible -- while we initially experienced issues with the ComEd inspector (requiring that we install a lattice on our 2nd level porch to make incoming power lines inaccessible), which delayed completion, Marcus helped us see the project through to completion. He had a carpenter come over and install the lattice, communicated with ComEd, and was at the property multiple times -- to meet the carpenter and to meet the inspector. And we are now completely up to code, having passed ComEd's inspection. Thank you Marcus and T&D Electrical for your superb work ethic and dedication!

He texted me right away and we set up an appointment, a week out. On the day of the appointment he didn't respond to my text asking him to confirm that he would be here and that he would be wearing a mask. He didn't text or call to confirm or cancel, and he didn't show up. Very disappointed.

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.

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

Hm.  I'm not sure if this company ever served me, but I ended up in a spot on the Yelp website where I had to leave a review or at least stars... so 5 stars or zero stars?  I'm more of a five star person, so there you go.

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

Very friendly and professional throughout the whole process. Loved that they sent us a detailed proposal/quote for our electrical panel and outlets based on the inspection report we sent them. Also appreciated that they were understanding when we had to reschedule!

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.

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.

We have used Jake over the years for all of our electrical needs. He is absolutely amazing and always works incredibly hard and fast. If you are looking for surround sound, new canned lighting, rewiring or all of the above, he is 100% the man for the job!

When Neville arrived I was impressed by his professionalism and easy demeanor.

We had two problems going on:

(1) The lighting fixture under the kitchen cabinet over the sink--We couldn't get the light to turn on. I thought it may have had something to do with the ballast.

(2) The ceiling fan in the bedroom was not working properly and making clicking sounds. The dome for the light housing was next to impossible to get off if we ever needed to change the bulb.

Now before I get into why you should like this company, I want to point out that we had a contractor who came by to do some work on our unit about two weeks ago. He demonstrated no professionalism; lied about what he did; over-charged for his services and did a half-assed job--leaving one of the two light switches disabled when he left. Also, he gave an assessment of the ceiling fan and said that it would be very expensive. He was scheduled to come back (with parts that he purchased) and take care of the ceiling fan. Unfortunately, people like this never show up on the radar screen on places like Yelp--they are a hole in the wall and generally give the industry a bad name. Realizing that the landlord was going to have this guy come back, I  informed the landlord of the shoddy services performed and that he was probably being overcharged--which he was. The landlord started searching for another contractor.

After showing Neville the problem with the kitchen fixture, he had it figured out in less than ten minutes. Problem solved! loose wire. No parts. Very little labor. Smart trouble-shooting.

The ceiling fan was a bit more tricky. The dome had to be unscrewed and required a bit of tenacity as well as finesse. Dome light with a bit of work was removed. Taking apart the fan motor, he was able to trouble-shoot where the clicking was coming from and correct the problem. With the fan being as old as it was it was determined that it should be replaced. But because we rent out the condo, it was fine just the way it was so long as we did not have the fan set to maximum speed. Besides, with fall here and winter approaching we really didn't the fan that much anyway. But since he fixed the problem with the clicking we have used the fan at night for circulation and it is whisper-quite.

At the end of the job, which took less time than I thought, he didn't have to replace anything. No parts to replace--just the labor. Blacklite has probably saved our landlord several hundred, if not thousands of dollars, because Casablanca fans are not cheap.

I know I was probably a bit more detailed in this review than I perhaps needed to be, but I just wanted to compare the services of a contractor that has great customer service skills, professionalism and knows his trade compared to a contractor that doesn't and is only out to get rip a hole in your pocket.

When we move and get our own place, this company is definitely on my list as a keeper. Thanks again Neville for a great job even though I don't own the place.

We've used Kinetic Energy twice in the past year -- one job was a small job (running a new light switch), and the second was much bigger (upgrading our service to 200 amps). Both experiences were great -- everyone was super nice and professional, the work was clean and detailed, and the cost was fair. I've felt burned in the past with residential electrical contractors -- but Kinetic are by far the best I've hired, and wouldn't hesitate to use them again. THANKS!

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!

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 waited for months to leave this review, thinking that they could remedy the situation. I'll get to the point quickly and say if you need a TV mounted or some other basic task completed, they will do a good job and I like that they pay their workers a fair wage. I'm more than willing to pay extra for that. If you want any specialized work or anything that requires more work than something you could do yourself but you'd rather farm out, DO NOT use Fixer.

The first time I used them, I had a couple of tvs mounted and they did a great job. It did take them a long time and the fee was pretty big. I can't find the invoice but I think it was around $800 or so. Due to the above rationale, I was fine paying the fee.

The second time I used them, I asked that they assemble a standing desk. It took HOURS. The guy couldn't figure out how to adjust the desk after he put it together and wanted to call the job done and leave without adjusting the ADJUSTABLE desk. I figured it out myself (he hadn't put everything back on the desk and this is a non-motorized adjustable desk which requires weight to work).

The third time I used them is the reason that I finally had to write a review. I moved into my house in May and my microwave broke within a few months of me moving here. I realized that the builders had taken a short-cut and instead of installing a drawer microwave, had installed a countertop microwave and put some supports in the cabinet cavity/threw a trim kit on it and called it a day. I explained the situation to Fixer and asked if they could help me. The customer service team replied that they could definitely do that and would send someone over. Upon arrival, the person they sent said he could absolutely not handle this job and that I need a cabinet specialist and then the charged me $129 for the visit, which they eventually removed after I insisted they do so. They then reached out and said they wanted to fix the situation and they said they had found a microwave and someone to install it. Great. I'm always willing to give someone an extra chance. They show up with a microwave... which is broken. So, after I made sure to be home from work/scheduled this way in advance, still no microwave. They were very apologetic so I (again) held off on writing a bad review. They told me customer service would reach out. Days went by... nothing. I reached out to them and they apologized and said that they had ordered a new microwave and would be in touch when it was delivered which was scheduled for January 13th. The 13th came and went and I again reached out to them and they said, oh we have the microwave. We can install it on the 17th (MLK Day). I hesitantly agreed. They arrived today with the non-broken microwave. This time the installers realized right away that the microwave didn't fit the cavity. Keep in mind that they had already been here twice and had measured the cavity. They were so apologetic and it wasn't the actual installation team's fault so I just nodded and let them leave. THEN they charged me $129 for the visit again, which I'm currently asking them to remove.

Overall, I think if you have a quick handy-person job, they do a pretty good job but anything that requires any level of preparation, measurement or skill, I'd recommend going somewhere else.
