Best Businesses in Illinois

Stefan installed an EV charger outlet in my detached garage and I am very happy with the work he did.  His first visit was to give an estimate and describe the work to be done. I thought his quote was very reasonable and decided to proceed. We scheduled a date and he came on time and again went through what he will do in detail. He answered all the questions I had and completed the work on time. He paid attention to detail when running a new conduit and made sure everything is working well before leaving. I would definitely hire him again and recommend him to friends.

Darrell and crew did an excellent job for us. Darrell is very patient and thorough in explaining what he would suggest doing for our job and making sure everything worked properly once installed. The crew wore masks, consistently put on shoe covers and/or took shoes off when entering the home and they take the time to clean up after the work.

Rodrigo, the electrician, arrived promptly and was very pleasant, helpful, and knowledgeable. I had 2 recessed lights that were not working. He was able to fix one while here, and for the other, he will have to order a part and return. The cost was very reasonable and the whole experience a good one.

I was looking for a reliable electrician who I could really trust since I'm in a 100 year old home and Ted was just that. We was able to squeeze me in because I was concerned with electricity being set up improperly by painters. He's quite pricey (charges hourly) but seems to know what he's doing

Called right before the holidays and Joe came out right away to Downers Grove! My wife wanted some can lights installed in the kitchen and in our laundry room. He has some great reviews and thats why I chose him.  Absolutely best electrician I've ever hired! He installed 4 can lights in my kitchen and 3 in my laundry room. Joe did a great job with everything, and took care of it in a day! Clean up was  minimal and I needed to do a little patching & painting, but all was ready for Xmas day entertaining. I will be doing about 8 more can lights and a dimmer in my living room shortly and there is no doubt he's doing that! His prices are fair and his work was great! I'm been afraid to write a review because people will steal him and he will be so busy that he won't have time! Great Problems to have! Thanks Joe

For all you single women, first time homeowners, who are getting ripped off out there, search no more. Chris is an honest professional. He's done mutliple jobs at my place now and trust me, I've searched the quotes. His work is clean, up to code, and even educates me on the do's and don'ts. For me, this goes a long way. His communication is exceptional, his thoroughness is easily visible, and he keeps it real. when you find a good contractor you share him, because there are a lot of contractors out there that are so demanding and the job is total trash ass. That's the worst.

Esteban came out on a weekend, and was quick, fair and thorough.
Edward replied quickly and was completely honest with what needed to be done then, and what would need further review.

I reached out to Ryan via yelp yesterday 6.16.2021 as I needed to add lighting to my basement area. I had previously request quotes from other companies but no one was able to come out for at least a month. Ryan was over to our home within a couple hours and ready to get to work right away. He provided great advice on a few other future project we have and did a great job adding a couple of additional lights to our basement/utility area.

If you need electrical work done in the Chicago area, look no further. Highlights was amazing. They came out for an estimate on Monday, provided the estimate Tuesday and completed the work on Friday. All what we asked for and all high quality work. Meanwhile, I am still waiting to even get an estimate from the other company I requested one from - and the project is already complete. Boz was responsive, kind and everyone working with him was incredible. Highly, highly recommend!

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.

Recently used Urban Power to have third panel installed at my 2 flat in Logan Square and the needed infrastructure installed to house a new third meter.  I found Jake to be easy to work with. I feel all work was completed satisfactorily and in a timely manner.  I also felt the pricing was fair compared to other quotes I received.  I felt some of the other quotes I received, the companies were trying to over sell me.  Jake quoted the proper materials need to get the job done.  I would gladly use Jake again in the future and recommend him.

I couldn't have asked for a better experience from Neville. It's no wonder he is such highly rated. I recently purchased a condo and found out my AC unit had no power going to it. With the weather being in the mid 80s and muggy recently it was a very unpleasant problem to have. Neville was able to troubleshoot and fix the issue rather quickly and at a very fair price. If you need a very skilled electrician than Neville is the guy to go to.

We hired Ted and his crew to run electric underneath two lawns to re-power alley facing garages on two properties.  Ted responded by providing a fair estimate, getting the permits from the Village, and getting the work completed, correctly and speedily.  Overall, I was very impressed with Ted's knowledge and work ethic.  He did a fantastic job and I would recommend him to just about anyone.

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.

Frank is very professional.  Showed up when he said he would, explained what he was doing, and even provided a lower price than what he first quoted.  I will definitely call him again for any electrical job.  Highly recommend!

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 Fixer for 3 separate jobs in the last few months and have been very happy with their work. On this visit Wylie repaired a kitchen faucet, performed cabinet carpentry repair, and showed me how to replace some recessed lights. Very happy with Fixer work!
