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.

This is the kind of experience you wish for when you're hiring an unknown on Yelp.  I requested a quote.  Darrell, the owner, quickly responded.  He gave me an estimate after I described a new outlet addition I wanted.  He sent Anel over to check out the place.  Anel surmised the job wasn't as straightforward as I had hoped.  He briefed Darrell and he stuck by the original quote even though there was more to it than I had originally described.  He sent Christian, Graham and Ramiro over the same day to do the actual work.  They did a great job and cleaned up when it was finished.  I couldn't ask for more.

We used T & D to install new circuits for our apartment. Marcus came out to review and quote the work.  He was very knowledgable and answered questions in a way a person without any electrical background could understand.

The communication was top notch. Marianne handled the logistics and updates in a very timely manner.

Also, I accidentally overpaid at the site because I forgot about the deposit. She caught it before I did and called me an hour later to refund the amount.  I was floored by how quickly, and proactively they reached out.

Greg was our electrician and he was very quick and efficient.  He finished his work in well under the expected amount of time. He required very little direction, explained what he was going to do and got to work.

The actual cost came in under the quoted amount - which might be a first for me.

Finally, we experienced an issue that didn't show itself until the next day.  I called and they were out immediately the next day and resolved it.

To me this last part was phenomenal.  Sometimes things happen, but it's how people respond to the situation that leaves a lasting impression on me.  Their response was fantastic.  

After everything, it's abundantly clear that they care about their customers.  They are trustworthy, knowledgeable, and make you feel comfortable about the whole process.

I will be using them for all future electrical work and would strongly recommend them to anybody else looking for the highest quality work with the best customer care.

Great service! The price was reasonable and he did a great job. We felt very comfortable with him and felt he is trustworthy. We will definitely hire him in the future.

Joe was knowledgable, personable, and charged a fair price. He fixed several faulty switches in our home quickly and efficiently.

First of all, I rarely write reviews but I was so impressed I felt the need to write this one.  I needed a light switch replaced in my kitchen.  Chris responded quickly with a very fair estimate yesterday and was able to schedule an appointment for today.  Chris is professional, courteous, efficient and very reasonable with his charges.  I have already discussed having him replace some light fixtures in my house.  I highly recommend ALC Electric!

We had issues with an outdoor outlet nuisance tripping during heavy rain, even after having a new cover installed.  Unfortunately this outlet shared a circuit with our bedroom and office outlets, so the tripping caused heavy disruption.   It was particularly bad very early one morning after a stormy night, which left me scrambling at 7:15am trying to find an electrician.  Greenline answered immediately and was able to come out later that afternoon.  After some troubleshooting and exploratory work, the recommendation was to put the GCFI outlet on a dedicated circuit to prevent further disruption.  They came back the next day and did so quickly and efficiently, and even replaced the cover with a more durable one.  They also thoughtfully replaced our old and worn bedroom light switches and a scarred outlet for free - I really appreciated their thoughtfulness here.  They did all this for a very reasonable price and were easy to work with and communicative every step of the way.  I highly recommend them if you need any electrical work done!

Had some electrical troubles in our new house we needed fixed and addressed. Ryan was out at my house within an hour of calling him. Very professional, personable, and knowledgeable. He took the time to not only do a thorough job but explain everything he did each step of the way. Was quite a long project as we couldn't locate the problem immediately, but after some troubleshooting and enjoyable conversation, he located the problem and solved it. I don't know anything about electrician pricing but was told from my family who knows a thing or two about the business that his pricing was great and extremely fair for the job he did the length of time it took. Would highly recommend. Safe to say I've found my electrician for any future needs I may have. Thanks again Ryan, pleasure getting to know you.

Highlight Electric does excellent work. Mile and Gig have done more than one job for me and they are highly skilled in their craft and very professional. They troubleshooted an electrical issue I was having with dimming lights and addressed my issue letting me know  what they were doing every step of the way. They fixed some other quirks they uncovered along the way and they labeled my electrical panels. I can now rest assured my electrical is safe and my problem is correctly addressed. I highly recommend this electrical company and their crew.   They respond very fast and have very fair prices. It is so good to have found my forever electricians....

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

These guys are great! They were referred to us and they are great for all kinds of jobs. We originally used them for various electrical work such as changing and updating electrical boxes, to light fixtures, to moving, replacing and rerouting outlets and switches. We were looking to knock out a wall in our kitchen and we had called them for the electrical part of it and turns out they were able to do the carpentry work as well!!  We had them come and see the space and they were very respectful of our belongings. Covered everything super nicely and helped us move some of the things they were afraid could possibly get damaged. Very trust worthy, we left them alone in our home for 90% of the project, and they cleaned up after every time they came. They did a nice job painting the living room as well and all for a great price!! I would definitely recommend them!!

Great prices, quick work, friendly guy. Called 4 other electricians and they all quoted me about $100-200 for the same job. Definitely recommend.

Neville is wonderful! This is the second time I have used Neville's services. He came to replace my light switches with new ones I bought. I started it as a DIY project but these new switches were a little larger and were incredibly hard to squeeze in; also the existing wires were very short. Neville is not only extremely capable, but is friendly and open to suggestions on how I would like the setup, even though he clearly knows a ton more about this stuff than I do. He also handled a couple other items for me. The work took longer than anticipated. Neville rounded down the time and charged me less.  I trust Neville in performing the job well and in as little time as possible to get the work done right!

Best around. Ted is super helpful and Carlos did a great job on my project. Very helpful, explained everything and overall I couldn't be happier. Will definitely use in the future and highly recommended.

Could not recommend a better electrician!

I had a desire to install ceiling recessed lights and ceiling fans in a few rooms for some time. After doing some research on Yelp, I found Tom and gave him a call. We were able to set up a in-person consultation soon after, where he walked me through the options for recessed LED lights (4in vs 6in) and spacing of said lights. We agreed on an overall plan and start date.

During the project, Tom and his men were timely, clean, and very efficient in their work. They carefully calculated and marked out the placement of the lights and fan on the ceiling in each room for my approval before starting to cut into the drywall. In the end, they had to cut into a surprisingly small amount of the drywall to put everything together. In the two places in each room that they did have to open up the wall, they carefully replaced the drywall, saving me from having to make any large patches before repainting.

I wanted to use a particular smart dimming switch (Brilliant), but it was backordered and did not arrive in time. Tom hooked up everything using temporary switches and came back later to finish the job once they arrived.

Overall, I would definitely use Tom and his men again! I have a couple other projects around the house I've been thinking of (electric car charger, exterior light, replacing track lighting with more recessed lights, etc.) and plan to use Tom for these projects in the future!

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

Alex responded to my posting quickly, was clear on costs, and came out at 8am the following day as promised. I gave wrong information on parts and he was ready with solutions to salvage the job and gave great advice. Would definitely hire again.

Needed to have an old utility sink removed and scheduling it with Fixer was simple and the work was done quickly and well by the employee. Already planning on having them come out to do some other things around the office and at home!
