Best Businesses in Illinois

We bought a new dryer that was causing an electrical fuse to blow whenever we used it. I called PB Electrical Services and they came right away, diagnosed the issue as needing a new circuit breaker, and fixed it same day. Great service and I'll definitely use them for future electrical needs!

I called All Power Electric the night before thanksgiving for an issue we were having with our circuit breaker. They calmly explained what we should do and promptly showed up the next morning as promised. Tony was extremely professional, respectful of our home, and explained everything in detail. There were no surprises and we are so glad we called this company. We will definitely use them again without hesitation.

I have worked with Omar and his team for a few years. He has done multiple installs for me as well as consultations. I have been happy with all the work he has done. More importantly though he is friendly, communicative and he doesn't make you feel intimidated at all about something you don't have a lot of knowledge about. I will continue to use him and his team and cannot recommend Excel and Omar enough.

I came in and I'm Hispanic he cussed at me and called me a Spic that he doesn't need my business and my money is no good here he also had a gun and has a threatening demeanor

Dion has done two projects for us in two different (very old) houses and has done a fantastic job in both. Efficient and honest, will troubleshoot with you and give you his straightforward opinion on what can be done and the options for making it work. I appreciate his knowledge and his skill!

Perlongo Electric is exactly what his voicemail claims, your friendly neighborhood electrician. Frank is extremely friendly and upfront with the estimate. He installed 3 ceiling fans and four can lights in my house, and he finished right on time for exactly whet he bid the job for. He actually changed all my old two prong outlets into grounded prong outlets for no additional cost. He was very knowledgable and hard working. It must have been 100 degrees in my attic where he had to run wire for the lights, but he still finished on time. I have called him several time with questions about electrical work and if he can explain a fix for me to do he would, otherwise come and take a look. I was extremely happy with the work Frank did and I would highly recommend him to any friends or family of mine. You will not be disappointed.

I've used John on many occasions now for my rental properties. He is hands down the most proficient electrician I've used in the city over the last 20 years. He's talented, fair, honest, and works above and beyond regardless of the hour to get the job done. And done right. Without taking advantage of you and is extremely affordable with his pricing. You couldn't find a better electrician.

Complete waste of time! I was having issues with a tankless water heater and contacted Mike. They could not seem less interested. At first I was texting information and pictures that were requested but I have not had any sort of communication with them since I was told a part needed to be ordered. I was asked to send pictures. I sent pictures of the water heater and model number 10 days ago. Since then I have not even received a reply to the text message. They have done nothing but waste my time and caused me to be without heat in a portion of my home for over two weeks. There is no way I could possibly feel the need or want to use them for anything in the future.

I'm really not understanding why my experience was a complete 180 from other reviewers, but calling it a nightmare would be a supreme understatement.

I needed a dedicated outlet for the sump pump in the crawlspace because you cannot use an extension cord for it in my town. I called Vlad, believing I had called him before and he never got back to me (this was my error). He was very polite and came immediately to look at the work needing to be done. So far, so good! He quoted me a very fair price and said he could do the job the same day - even better! I made sure I said that the sump pump needed to be plugged directly into an outlet. He said he needed to go to the hardware store to pick up what he needed, after 2 hours I called him to make sure he was coming back. He replied yes, he would be here shortly.

And this is where my nightmare began.

A couple hours later, I notice that it had gotten very warm in my house. AC is usually set at 72 and when I checked the thermostat, it read 80. I politely asked Vlad if he did something to the AC, and his reply was too many wires and went back to what he was doing. That really wasn't an answer but I went back in the house and turned some fans on, sure that he would fix whatever he did to cause the AC not to work.

As the hours progressed (he started work at about noon). the AC still wasn't working and the WiFi thermostat was turning off and on and re-setting every few minutes. He was messing with the breaker box for a REALLY long time and would NOT answer my questions but rather just shrugging his shoulders and ignoring me. You have no idea how frustrating that was.

At about 6:30 (still no AC, mind you), he comes into the house and asks me for an extension cord. I ask him what for. He replies that he needs one to plug the sump pump into the outlet. Excuse me, what??? The whole reason I needed a contractor was because I needed the sump pump to plug directly into an outlet! He tells me that he thought it was better to put the outlet close to the crawlspace door and that's why he needed an extension cord, because the outlet was too far away from the sump pump cord. I tell him that he did not do the job correctly and that I needed the outlet close enough to the sump pump so that the cord could be plugged directly into it AND he still needed to address my AC not working.

He insisted that he did nothing to the AC wiring and that it must be an issue with the AC or the thermostat. Both are fairly new and it was highly unlikely that it was not his fault. He insisted that I needed to call an AC person to come look at what the problem could be and repeatedly insisted that he did nothing wrong.

At 7:30 he comes back into the house and simply says, Money, give me money. My husband came home from work at this point and told Vlad that he must have done something wrong, crossed a wire, something, because there was no way this was not his fault. We wrote him a check for less than what we agreed on, because come on! He got a bit ugly at that but finally left.

We had no choice but to call the AC company that services our furnace/AC. That was a $155 service call. While we were waiting for them to show, I went to do a load of laundry only to find that there was no power running to the washer and dryer. My husband went to the breaker box and found that the washer and dryer were now connected to the furnace breaker, so YES ABSOLUTELY he caused the problem because the washer and dryer were previously on their own (correct) breaker.

So, the AC company could not help because it was not an HVAC issue, and I then had to find an emergency electrical company that had a $195 service call fee. No way in hell did I trust Vlad to come back and fix what he messed up. Although the electrical company came Saturday morning, the repair was so extensive (and required an HVAC tech along), the repair could not be done until Monday. We spent 72 hours without AC.

Attached you will see the invoices, showing that yes, it was very much Vlad's fault. We have had to pay over $1300 to fix what he did.

Installing a new outlet on a dedicated circuit breaker is basically Electrician 101.

In addition to this review, I will be filing a complaint with the BBB and seriously considering pursuing legal action - something I have never done in all my many years of being a consumer/customer.

I absolutely love Johny! I recently purchased my first home and I reached out to this company after another company was 5 hours late to my consultation. Volts & Watts is now my one and only option. Not only was I given a same day consultation (and on time) Johny was able to install the vision I was looking for in little to no time at a better rate than what I was originally going to pay. My lights are perfect and give my home such a beautiful modern new look.

Our Generac whole house generator failed to come on during a multi-hour power outage on a Sunday morning. The Generac support line recommended AL Electric as the closest dealer. Andrey picked up the phone after two rings, came out within an hour, and had our generator running within 2 minutes. (The generator had an error code that required dealer service.) His charge for an emergency visit on a Sunday morning was very reasonable and he will be coming back later in the week to do full maintenance on the unit. As the Generac support person said, you need to have a dealer do maintenance on it yearly so AL Electric will be our regular service. Andrey is also very friendly and knowledgeable.

ABS was recommended by a residential lighting retailer.  I emailed them on a Saturday, and got a response the next day!  We scheduled an appointment for an estimate, then received a quote a few days later.  The ABS team came out promptly at the agreed upon time, and were extremely professional.  They installed a medium-sized chandelier in a vaulted foyer in about an hour.   Highly recommended!!  Bryan Rice and the ABS team will not disappoint.

InTown did repairs in our new (old) house in Arlington Hts. They fixed multiple issues with our electrical panel, outlets, wiring, among other things. They were prompt, professional, and highly skilled. We wholeheartedly  recommend them for all your electrical needs!! Thank you Tom and Lee!!

Quick response. Does a great job explaining what work is being done. Affordable pricing and great friendly service. I definitely recommend David!

Same as Nicole B., i called Sal about adding a breaker to my box, possibly upgrading a 15am to 20amp circuit, and wiring in a light switch and after three minutes on the phone he abruptly said he no longer does that and hung up on me.

On recommendation from our property manager, we called up Mike Corrigan for an electrician to install some lighting and fix one of our circuits.

Unfortunately, their hours are only 8am - 4:30pm and the early morning hours fill up quickly.  Lucky for me, my husband got sick and was stuck home all day anyway.  They usually call about 15 minutes before they arrive to give you fair warning.

They did an excellent job installing two lights and fixing a circuit within 45 minutes.  Highly recommended for efficiency and quality.

Jaime is an amazing and courteous professional. He was worried that the job he did at my place was simpler than he quoted me for. For no additional charge, he fixed bunch of other things in my place just to make sure I feel confident that he was ripping me off. He did all the necessary due diligence for every task he took care of and worked very tidy and clean. I highly recommend him and will call him for all of my electrician needs from now on

Don, has been performing electrical work for us for many years. You can always get advice and a great job performed from Don. Don is one of the last old timers whose word is his bond, Gary J.

When other handymen refused to work on my job, Rob stepped up with his crew to get it done.  Alex was great when he showed up and got things done quickly.

I would recommend them and use them again.
