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.)

My parents' electricity was going out for the past couple of days due to the circuit breakers being loose.  I decided it was time to get an electrician to evaluate the situation and see what was going on. The house and the entire electrical system is original from the 1980's.  I came across Electric City and they had very good reviews so I decided to call them.

The electrician who showed up turned out to be the owner. He was very friendly from the start. I explained to him the situation and he immediately got to troubleshooting. He was able to determine the situation right away and explained to me everything he was seeing.

He was very honest in determining what needed to be replaced and what can stay. He even mentioned that it would be best to replace the entire box and all of its components but he would save me the money and get everything to be in excellent condition again.  

Overall, he replaced only what needed to be replaced and did it as if he was working at his own home.  Very honest work ethics and customer service. Price was very reasonable as well. Couldn't be any happier that I chose Electra City. Keep up the good work!

Quick response and excellent service by a qualified electrician!  Couldn't ask for better!

Arnold Electric a really professional operation. It's the first time I've used them and even though I had some scheduling changes on my end they couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating. They arrived on time, worked efficiently and even saved me money in the process. I highly recommend them.

I had accidentally tiled over the spot on the electrical outlet where you attach one side of the cover on the kitchen backsplash. With my property sale inspection in a few days, I needed a handyman to fix my DIY blunder ASAP. Eligio was able to fix it quickly and the turnaround time from request to completion was less than 24 hours.  I recommend him and his business highly!

Nice young man who has expertise. Did a great job fixing our ceiling light and bath exhaust fan. Would recommend him highly. Was prompt and did excellent work.

GREAT COMPANY TO WORK WITH!!  Provided me with a piece of mind when preparing our 100 year old home ready for closing sale.   Great communication on the service provided and proposed service.  Pricing very competitive.

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.

We hired Brian to complete a punch list of electrical items. The written contract that was agreed upon was for around $3800. The work was supposed to be completed around October 15th per the contract.  It didn't get done til February 12th.  That's FOUR months late.

Now let's talk about money. The final bill ended up being $13,500.00. That's not a typo. Thirteen thousand five hundred dollars. We were shocked when we received the bill. We asked him what happened to the contract. He said there were other issues that had to be corrected and the contract says any other issues are billed at $90/ hour. Fair enough, but the first time he told us about the other issues is when the final invoice was rendered. We never even had a chance to authorize or approve these additional issues to be corrected.

This guy pretty much ripped a page out of our checkbook and wrote himself a blank check. DO NOT let this happen to you. Never sign an open ended contract with this contractor or any other contractor, otherwise, you will be the one to get shocked at the end.

If a zero was possible, that is what I would give this contractor.  I hired him to install under cabinet lights.  He came out with an obviously untrained apprentice who did all of the work while he sat and barked out orders -- screaming at him much of the time.  At one point the apprentice was lost and did not know what to do.  Rather than helping him, he responded -- figure it out idiot and sat there staring at him.  Eventually, I started helping the apprentice myself.  He then billed me over a $1000.  Shortly after I received the bill, he called demanding payment.  I explained that I felt I was overbilled.  But, I agreed to pay him $700 that night if he would consider it payment in full.  He agreed, but has continued sending me invoices for allegedly past due amounts and has even filed a mechanics lien on my house.  Do not use this bully.

THIEF !  LIAR!  CHEAT!  THIEF!  LIAR!  CHEAT!
Dino asked for 1/2 upfront 500$ night before job.  Then didn't show up day of !  Didn't answer phone!  Or text for 24 hours!   Next day after I canceled payment with pay pal he called to say couldn't do job with out the money that we have in limbo now?  And he caught a 24 hour bug ! (After doing what ever he does Friday nights!) Didn't apologize at all for anything .  In fact he then told me he would return money but he had to call back all the other clients that called him FIRST!  I had to 3 way him and pay pal to get him to believe me telling him  that he could return money without it taking 30 days!   Then he did not before starting to sware over the phone that I can just get my money and pay him in check.   Careful he can get a temper!   This morning PayPal informed me his return was denied due to INSUFFICIENT FUNDS !  6 days after I payed him he still didn't have my money knowing the return was coming!!  Never mentioned he spent the money.  I gave him every chance to at least be honest and he lied the whole way.  He texted us this morning in response to us Leaving a very unhappy message . And He texted back That we screw** him!!!  ?   And he refused tell us where are money went.      
BEWARE.  SCAM ARTIST.   LIAR.   CHEAT!!!!!!

- 100 STARS!!!!!!   Hope I get my money back
So I can get electric for my a/c for my 5 month old baby's before a heat wave!!!!  
Thanks Dino !
Dean Hightower. Still waiting on a apology and the truth!

I hired Advanced Area Serv Corp to do the complete wiring for my 900 Sq Ft Master Bedroom Suite Addition. They were totally awesome! They accommodated my schedule and arrived on time. They completed the work on time and diligently cleaned behind themselves. I was impressed with their professionalism and would highly recommend them to all my family and friends

They book appointments with 3 hour window of wasted time (2 times I booked in my case) and they simply don't show nor call to advise as to why. Receptionist is also only contact in office and she is clueless as to how to handle customers or bookings (bad attitude).  Read their Angie's List reviews too and you will see it is a recurring complaint.  Their excuse for this poor service is emergencies or unforeseen problems. Not sure even a brain surgeon has as many emergencies as they do where they can't even update waiting customers. There are no apologies only excuses and lies. It was so bad I forwarded their ridiculous lies in messages we exchanged on Angie's list, saved a voice mail from owner who receptionist claimed had come out special just for me.  His voice mail had no apology, said his jobs ran late (oh really cuz receptionist said u came out just for me), but do I still want him to come at 4:22pm...window was late morning til 2pm. Receptionist referred to me as a snob because I didn't guess the guy who called was the owner and he apologized in his voice mail (which is also a lie as he didn't say he was owner or sorry).  Anyway Angie's List is fully refunding my money for this special offer I prepaid for. I'm sure based on other reviews they won't be on Angie's for long. I have all the backup, including voice mail and sent it all to Angie's List...so no disputing any of this.
