Best Businesses in Illinois

Howard is awesome.  We had several issues at our house after buying a foreclosure this winter.  The electrical outside had issues (flood lights, outlets, lamp post), the garage electrical didn't work and a couple of outlets were faulty in the house.  Howard came and did work in two sessions in our house.  He was extremely polite, friendly and honest.  He told us what was wrong and charged us a very fare rate for all of his work.  All of our issues are fixed 5 days after initially calling.  Couldn't be happier!

North Shore Electric is truly first-rate.  They just completed our second project with them which was removing a track light and installing six recessed lights that have changed the room ambiance.  Brian, the owner had worked out the plan, made suggestions, and offered suggestions.  While they were backlogged with business,  he did suggest a way of getting the work done earlier than originally proposed.  The site electrician, Bill, was fantastic.  This friendly and informative dude worked non-stop enabling the job to be completed in one day and totally cleaned up.  Bill recognized that he had done our living room installations a couple of years earlier.  This company is tops and pricing is very reasonable.  It was nice to get an invoice that detailed every cost and not just a blanket final price.  Recommend them without reservation.

We hired Goran to correct some code violations in my mom's older home, replacing outlets with 3-prong and GFCI and adding some additional outlets in the garage. The same day I called he came and did a free estimate. His work was quick and efficient and he did not charge more than his original estimate even though I had under counted the number of outlets that needed replacing. He is easy to work with and we thought his work was excellent. We are going to need more work done and will definitely be calling him. You will not go wrong by hiring Goran.

I am a huge fan of Small Tyme Electric. I manage a few properties throughout Chicago and I have used them every time i needed anything done. Wether it's some minor updates or a complete remodel. Norh Is an amazing person. Such a pleasure to work with. I always have the worst luck when it comes to contractors so when I find a good one I hold on and don't let go. I'm willing to share with you as I want to keep him working for years to come so he's always there when I need him!

Adrian Electric is great and we highly recommend them. Frank is by far one of the most professional, knowledgeable, and courteous professionals I have done business with in the home services sector. He installed complicated lighting for us and did a tremendous job. We will definitely be using Adrian electric for all our electrical needs in the future.

The folks at Scott Nelson did a fantastic job on my list of electrical projects. Courteous, prompt, respectful of my property, and clearly very knowledgeable. They explained what they were doing and gave me good advice for managing do-it-yourself fixes in the future.

I highly recommend them for your electrical work.

Mike Gordon of MPG Electric did an outstanding job replacing under cabinet lighting as well as hanging a fixture that I hesitated to buy due to review after review saying how hard it was for their person to hang. I liked the looks of it and decided to take the chance despite the reviews. He had absolutely no trouble because he really knows what he is doing. In addition, he generously offers his time to answer questions as well as help with purchasing. His patience is extraordinary.

Our previous electrician left us with dimmers that didn't work for years. Mike knew exactly what to use and they work fine for the first time since we lived in this home. He is honest and charges fairly. We intended to add a dimmer to our kitchen fixture but then we weren't sure if it was needed. He was fine with letting us check it out at night, where we could judge better, and get back to him. He offered to come back and not charge the initial first hour charge or return it depending on our decision. He really cares about his customers! We highly recommend him!

One of the best electricians in the area, won't charge an arm & leg like the competitors. He installed new lights in my living, mounted my flatscreen & installed two ceiling fans. He is extremely knowledgeable and very timely. All services were done very quickly with no issues.

Penco Electric is fantastic.  We needed a whole home generator and we are so glad we chose them to install it.  We got multiple bids and they were the most competitive in addition to their exceptional customer service.  The installation was excellent and they went above and beyond to ensure that everything was done at 110%.  During installation there were a couple minor issues, due to my house and no fault of theirs, and they went out of their way to make sure everything was done correctly even though it cost them some additional time and expense.  I would highly recommend Pence Electric for anyone who needs a generator or generator service.

I reached out to them about a couple of small home repairs. We had a nice conversation and we tentatively agreed for an appointment in a few days. Chris said he would call me later that day to confirm the appointment and give me a time. After two days I heard nothing from him. I texted him a few times with no response. I made other arrangements. Very strange and unprofessional.

Absolutely the best electricians my family has ever used. Carlos Sr. and Jr. came to our aid like electric genies when our garage lost its electrical power. Seems our landscaper accidentally diced it when planting a tree. They spent about six hour replacing the line and enclosed it in metal. They did this as a precaution for future overzealous  shovelers.   They also replanted my plants after they were done. Was so thrilled at the end of the day, I hired them to do another job. A week later, I have new recessed lights in my basement ceiling. Excellent work, did exactly as was discussed. Fairly priced, honest, and reliable. Guess I must have won the  best electrical contractor lottery!

We called for an electrical short that kept setting off the circuit breaker. After 4 days of dealing with another company that had a different story everyday. We called Sam and he solved our problem in a couple of hours for a reasonable price.
He knows his electricity very well.
I would recommend him for any electrical work needed.
He is now our go to guy.
Thank you very much

Never received a receipt. Sent a text asking for a receipt and never got a response. Do yourself a favor and choose a vendor who will provide a receipt. ***Update *** received the receipt after this review was posted.

Ken helped me with installing conduit in a high rise unit.  This required providing extra documentation regarding insurance and certifications.  It also meant working within the building's hours and elevator availability.  Ken came to the unit for an initial estimate, provided all of the documents beforehand, followed-up with a walk through on the day before work was to be done, and then personally came to the unit as the job was being completed.  The work was completed professionally and aesthetically.  The primary installer (Darrell) was pleasant, competent, and able to modify the plan as needed.  What I appreciated most is Ken's timely responses to questions and requests for information.  He ensured no question was left unanswered.  Dosie Electric will be a goto resource for future projects.

I couldn't be happier with the service provided by this company. Tom was incredibly responsive and had his team on the job the same day I contacted them...a real blessing after all the problems I have had with my contractor. They did an exceptional job and were a joy to have in my home...even my cat loved them! They were professional, conscientious, knowledgeable, and highly skilled. I will definitely have them back and I would recommend them to anyone.
