Best Businesses in Illinois

One of the only union electricians in the Channahon area that does RESIDENTIAL work.
Mr. Paxson did an excellent job!  We had three receptacles, two fans, and three switches installed.  Mr. Paxson gave us a very good estimate, and stayed in contact with us as we decided what to have done.  
On the day the work was completed he showed up on time.  
All of the work is top notch!
As the work was completed he kept the area very clean.
Everything was done within three hours.
Please see the photos and video I have posted.
If you want it done right the first time call him.
- I know good electrical work.
(I myself was in the electrical union previously.)

Eddie (the owner) of Electra - City answered my call for a quote to install a ceiling fan/light/remote combo quickly and gave a firm quote.
By luck he had an opening and he was able to do the work the next day.  

Eddie (the owner) was very professional, knowledgeable, efficient and verified every step in the process. He was meticulous in his measurement and did not leave a mess.

Overall the work was beyond 5 stars.  Electra - City was very reasonably priced especially compared to 2 other quotes I received over the phone.

I will use Electra - City  again when I have any electrical needs.

I would highly recommend Electra - City and Eddie! 5+++++ stars

Here's the tasks needed to install a ceiling fan/light/remote combo without electric in the ceiling:

Install electric box in attic for ceiling fan in spare bedroom
Make ceiling electric box live for the new ceiling fan
Created hole in bedroom ceiling for fan to attach to electric box
Routed wires to bedroom wall switch from attic
Changed bedroom wall switch to control ceiling fan
Assembled ceiling fan with remote control and led lights
Installed ceiling fan in bedroom
Placed ceiling fan remote control holder next to light switch
Verified and explained all ceiling fan/light/remote  combo functions

After he completed the ceiling fan installation, I asked about some additional tasks that I needed done.  Eddie knocked those out in no time with a slight extra charge.

Additional tasks:
Raised dining room light 4 feet in a 20 ft lofted ceiling

Replaced a basement smoke detector (they only last 8-10 years)

Changed battery in smoke detector in a 20 ft lofted ceiling in bedroom

You can't beat Electra - City for great prices, work efficiency and perfection.

Made an appointment & unfortunately several days before the appointment I needed to change the date & reschedule.
I call 4 times with no response or call back.
Each message I left,I told them I needed to reschedule & nobody bothered to return my call.
Not a company I want to deal with.

After a broken pipe led to wall removals in our 100+ yr old house, we discovered lots of unsafe electrical problems within our walls and ceilings. Arnold electrical was one of the few companies that actually called me back when we were looking for someone to fix everything. We were so impressed by their responsiveness, communication, and process in just giving us a quote, that we choose them to repair and replace everything. They ended up replacing our electrical panel, adding a sub panel to the garage, properly dug a trench and buried a conduit for our garage electric, installed an outdoor outlet, installed a light fixture in our stairwell, placed exposed wires in conduit,  and completely rewired our house. We worked with two different teams and two other individuals from Arnold throughout this whole process. John did our initial assessments. He was very helpful, knowledgeable, and took his time listening to our concerns. Justin did our panel inspection, along with the city inspector. He was also very friendly and knowledgeable. Mary, the receptionist, was always friendly and responsive, and set up the city inspection and permit for the work. Jeff and his team did the rewiring and garage. They were always on time, did an initial vacuum clean up afterwards, cleaned up their mess everyday, and even brought treats for my dog on the last. Our only complaint is that we felt we were not adequately prepared for how many holes they had to make to do the rewire. Maybe they didn't know until they actually started? Despite that, we are very satisfied with their services. They were pricey, but prices seemed on par with other local companies. Their communication, promptness, that they actually showed up on time every time, and that they coordinated the city permit and inspection were well worth the money.

I purchased a mirror from Wayfair and added on installation. No one  ever showed up. I was so upset and cancelled the installation with them. I reached out to Eligio, and he contacted me right away. Thankfully, he was able to come out the same day. He installed the mirror in such a short amount of time and was super professional. I highly recommend him!

I had a 220V outlet installed in my back yard for my EV. I asked AJ to give me an estimate. AJ came out to do a survey first to see what the options were. He explained the options and the pricing. I decided to go with a 220V outlet option.
AJ and his assistant showed up on time, they came prepared with all the materials needed, they tested the connections several times to make sure it all worked properly.

It's been a few months of blissful and convenient charging at home and everything as been working just fine.

Highly recommend AJ and his team for electrical work.

This is the best electrical contractor in the area.When I had a short in my kitchen, two other electricians could not find the problem. I was told that I would need to gut my kitchen to either find the break or to just have it rewired. Luckily a friend referred me & told me to I call Olson before making my decision. They came out promptly & luckily found the issue. The others were on the right track, but stopped short of finding the issue. Steve & Paul located the break, & were able to fix the issue without having to gut the kitchen. They do quality work, & are extremely knowledgeable. I refer them now, & will only use them for my electrical in the future!!

Fast and courteous service!  I've had a couple of calls out for electrical service in my unit after a serious roof leak.  I've  been impressed with the level of service and diligence at finding the root cause of the electrical issues.

Had a GFCI trip during the night for no apparent reason, nothing running at the time.
Called to request that it be checked out. Showed up within 20 minutes, did a thorough evaluation and very reassuring.
Will definitely add to my address book for future use.

The owner, Brian, of Aspire Electric has a really bad attitude, bad temper, tough to deal with.  I've dealt with many electricians, and this was one of the worst.  As one of the other reviewers mentioned, do not sign an open contract.  Have a specific price detailed out on what is and is not included, and any changes should be approved with a change request.

Had some outlets that were out and one that needed to be fixed! They fixed everything in half an hour and very reasonable pricing! They even called me the next day that I first called to let me know someone canceled and they could come today! Compared to others this was a great price! They were on time and worked quickly! Will use them for remodel!!

Dino was great to work with!! We needed a lot of work done at our church. Outside lights, ceiling fans, install a light in a closet and replace fluorescent lights with LED. His work was top notch. He even was nice enough to pick up the ceiling fans I ordered from Home Depot. I would not trust anyone else to do my electrical work.

I would never recommend Advance Area Service to anyone! The worker
who appears to be the person who operates this business was extremely
rude, and unprofessional. I recommended his services to assist an elderly family member, and he treated her like crap. He was rude, disrespectful, and
crass. He speaks to his customers with a negative tone and does not like
you asking him questions about the job you paid him for. He takes advantage of elderly people, by taking their money and informing them if there is a problem with his work, he will continue to charge them if he has to come back to correct his mistakes or inadequacies. He is particularly impolite to women, especially elderly ones. Be aware of this business and its services!!!!!!!!

UNBELIEVABLE!! They blew off my appointment and had the nerve to blame it on me!  I made an appointment, called the day before to confirm, and even asked them to call if they couldn't make it.  No call, no show.  They later posted a response to my review on Angie's List blaming me for poor planning.  Stay away!
