Best Businesses in Illinois

If I could give more stars I would! Stefan and his staff were EXTREMELY helpful, kind, professional, and quick with the repairs that were needed in my building. I would highly recommend this company for any of your electrical needs!! They even missed Superbowl Sunday to help me out, now that's some great service!! ;) Thank you again AC/DC!

When some other electrician left us with extremely shoddy work and unresolved issued, Ely and Graham from Sims & Sons stepped the hell up and saved the day. From start to finish, working with Sims & Sons was great.

Initially we called just to have repairs done to the completely botched induction range install the previous guy did, but our first chat with Darrell left us feeling like we'd found someone who knew their ish, so we gave them the whole list: move some outlets and switches, reroute a bunch of conduit, ground the electric, install ceiling lights and outlets where none existed, fix an outlet that'd be busted 10+ years, remove some lights from one switch and run them to another, etc., etc.  

Ely and Graham worked together to come up with a solution for the range, and it was clear that Ely has some serious creative problem solving skills. Everything was up and running within a day (whereas the previous guys took three days and two different crews just to make our lives harder). Ely walked me through every repair, update, and change they'd made while Graham cleaned up (like, *actually* cleaned up. it was dope). They were also very attentive to the fact that we had some of the same power tools laying around that they had, and made sure nothing got swapped or accidentally taken at the end of the day.

Seriously. Huge props to Darrell, Ely, and Graham. 10/10, A+, 100%.

Excellent service! We were having some wiring issues with our a/c unit, so we contacted T&D. Our technician was Rodrigo, and he was fantastic! He was able to quickly diagnosis the problem and setup a plan to resolve the issues. He was very through and explained every step along the way.  I was very impressed by the service we received. We will only be using T&D for any future electrical issues.

Ted is seriously the best. He is super reliable, really professional and smart. I have had him do a few things in my home. Everything is done correctly, on time, and exactly how he said it would be. My husband who doesn't like hiring people to do work in the house thinks that Ted is worth every cent. I actually decided to write this review because I was looking for his number to do some additional work in our kitchen and came across his name on Yelp.

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.

I needed some electrical work done in my garage and MNC did great work.  Quick response, quality work and a good price.  I recommend.

I had a great experience working with Greenline. Edward was very responsive, helpful, honest, and reasonably priced. They upgraded the electrical in my house and did a fantastic job. I would recommend Greenline for any electrical work.

My husband Tony contacted Ryan yesterday regarding a partial power outage at my mother's home the night before. Tony met him there and he checked the electrical service box. He determined there was a problem with the existing wiring and promptly traced, found and repaired the source of  intermittent interruptions.
He solved a complex wiring system issue with professional expertise.
We highly recommend Ryan should you require any electrical work.
He is our Go To Guy!
Thanks again Ryan.

5 stars for each of these great folks at Highlights - Kemal, Raul, Liam, Vesna, and Niki!!  Each one was friendly, professional in their roles, had a desire to serve the customer, and seemed to really enjoy their work interacting with the client! It was comforting, uplifting and efficient working with them! They installed ceiling lights, motion lights, outlets and switches.  They advised with wisdom how to choose motion lights which fit our needs.  They were quiet, clean, concerned about reusing and recycling, friendly and interactive.  Well done!

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.

I hired Jake and Urban Power to add two electrical meters and relocate the circuit breakers out of the garden unit to a common area so all tenants could have access to them at my 3-Flat property.  He is a master of his craft and did a great job providing solutions to the issues I presented and working efficiently on the install and relocation as well as managing the permitting process with Com-Ed.  He has deep experience working with rental properties and gave me some great insights to add value to the property including installing security lighting which I hired him to do as well.  I would highly recommend Jake and Urban Power for any electrical job big or small.

Had a really great experience with this company.  Agree with the below reviews that if you are not a fan of doing business by text, this may not be for you.  Personally, I love it and it made the experience easier.

Electrician was on time, got thte job done and came in under budget.  Work looks great and I will certainly use this company again in the future.

I needed a ceiling fan and light fixture replaced. The fan I was installing was unique and unusually heavy. Julio was the technician that came to my home. He had great attention to detail. Any adjustment he needed to make he informed me of prior to receive authorization. He was very respectful of my home, wore shoe covers, and protected the furniture. He expertly installed both fixtures and cleaned up all work areas before he left. I highly recommend and would use this company again.

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!

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.

Edgar did an amazing job for me.  He came through the house, determined the scope of the project, then provided an on the spot estimate (which was very accurate after the fact, something of which I'm always appreciative.).
I couldn't be more pleased with Edgar's work; he knew precisely how to replace my switches with digital equivalents, banged out a couple of faulty outdoor outlets, and even replaced some hard to reach lightbulbs.  
I'm pretty picky when it comes to reviews, especially about home repairs.  If this is typical of Fixer, be sure I'll be calling them again for my next home repair.
