Best Businesses in Illinois

Stefan was at my house less than 30 minutes after I contacted him, and had the whole issue figured out and fixed in under an hour. Highly recommended!

Came by same day. Completed work quickly and at a reasonable price. Explained exactly what was needed and didn't try to upsell on services we didn't need. I liked that they were an honest, easy to talk to, family-run business. I trust them with all of my electric work moving forward because of how quick and fair they were. I've even referred them to my mom.

Return calls the same day, prompt arrival, & timely turnaround. My washer kept blowing a fuse & a timer for stairwell was out. Electrician was thorough in explaining the issues he found & got done in an hour. I had to run out to hardware store (3 blocks away) to buy a new timer but that didn't add to time as he coordinated both projects well. Will definitely be calling them in the future for a rewiring project I've been considering.

Awesome.  Ted and his son helped with my smart switch project.  Responded quickly, came back quickly, and installed the switches quickly.  Great work at a fair price.  Recommend.

Will hire again for a new light fixture we are buying and want to move.

Joe was awesome! On time, friendly and extremely efficient. He replaced 5 overhead chandeliers and installed 4 dimmer switches in 2.5 hours. We will call him again for sure and would highly recommend his services.

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

Quick reliable professional and reasonable I will recommend and use them in the future

Ryan showed up six hours late. Replace two outlets and charge us $600.

If you need electrician, look elsewhere.

Mike was awesome. I just purchased a new condo and found out that the old owner installed something that wasn't up to code and even tried to hide it. Mike pulled the wires and installed everything correctly AND without charging me an arm and a leg. The work was quick and he even cleaned up after.

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.

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.

Johnny has come out twice now to help with random issues -- super easy to work with, great ideas, very efficient (and a good listener -- turns out this is really important!). Both times I called, I got a text from Neville right away with all the info I needed to make an appt. They're fast, they stick to their quotes, and I trust what they tell me. I'll definitely use them again and recommend them highly to anyone who needs any kind of electrical work done.

Very professional service! Plus good value! Will definitely be using Kinetic Energy again!

Tom and his crew do such great work! Highly recommend them. They installed 4 outdoor outlets in our yard and also trenched wires underground so they were no longer exposed to the elements. They were on time, flexible, and just care about doing the job right. Tom is a really nice guy who walks you through all the work ahead of time. Don't hesitate to reach out to him!

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 found Fixer by searching Yelp reviews of local contracting companies. Overall, I would say my experience wasn't terrible, but I left underwhelmed with the experience.

I had a pesky window frame that needed to be repaired and I was struggling to find someone who could help within a reasonable timeframe. I chose Fixer because the reviews seemed fairly consistent and they seemed to have the most availability.

When it came to scheduling, they have options that say you can request a timeframe of 6-7 CST on weekdays, but then you get a text from their system saying they typically only book 7AM-3PM. Their 6-7 CST appointments was a factor that led me to choose them for services. I found out later that on rare occasions there can be some appointments that fill that time slot (as well as weekends). I wound up choosing the earliest available appointment window of 7AM-8AM where a worker would arrive. Come to the day of the appointment, I get a text saying the worker Miguel was on their way at 7:03AM. Come 7:45AM, still no update and I started calling/texting the numbers that had communicated with me. They knew that Miguel was not coming and had not communicated this issue with me until I started texting. It was very frustrating that they knew he was not coming, yet they did not communicate this issue to me earlier.

They sent another worker (named Beck) out at 8:08AM and Beck did show within 20 minutes of this time. The window frame fix took less than 20 minutes. So I suggest that if you book them, try to have a few tasks in mind that they could work on because they charge a minimum of an hour (and the cost was expensive). Admittedly, I didn't know how long the window fix would take so I didn't think having additional tasks through very well. Beck was polite and kind when I spoke about my issues and suggested I reach out to management. Beck also said this issue has happened with appointments scheduled with Miguel before.

About an hour later, a manager named Jayme reached out to me and informed me that they have an automated text that goes out the morning/time of your appointment that says a driver was leaving. They are aware of that if a driver calls off, the message still goes out. Jayme was apologetic and gave me a discount for the issue I experienced. However, I was really disappointed that they knew about this automatic text issue and did not reach out to me when they knew Miguel would not be able to keep the appointment.

Overall, I get that issues happen. The company owned up to their mistakes and remedied the best they could. Truly appreciate that. Given the experience, I think I am going to try a few other contracting companies. I'm not going to rule Fixer out completely, but I felt the pricing was truly a bit steep unless you have a few things for them to fix within the hour. Beck's quality did hold up for the service, but the scheduling and timing issues have deterred me from keeping Fixer as a go-to contractor.
