Best in Chicago IL

I have asked Stefan to add a new outlet in our laundry closet. He responded the message very quickly and the whole communication is smooth.

On the day he has done the job perfectly and the price is very reasonable for the work. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for an electrician.

These guys were amazing. I think we've found our go-to electricians for the foreseeable future. We had 5 outlets installed throughout our house and one additional line off the circuit breaker. They were reasonably priced, but more importantly, honest and didn't try to pad the bill. Darrell walked through the project with me and broke down some alternatives that could save some money... simple things like, putting the outlets in different locations to cut down on the drywall cost.

Fast, good service, reasonable, highly recommend.  They are our new go-to for our apartment complex!

Showed up on time for the estimate and was very thorough with what was needed to complete the job right. Although he ultimately did not get the job  I could tell he knows what he's doing.

Absolutely best electrician I've ever hired! I am currently working on a kitchen/office remodel and Joe did a great job with everything. He installed can lights, outlets, switches, and so much more. At first I thought it was a small job, but then it led to a larger project. He was on time every day and was always able to squeeze me into his busy schedule. Worked fast but correctly. He really knows his stuff. I will call him again for all my future electrical needs! :-)  A++ in my book. 6 stars if I could.

Christian was responsive and professional. He fixed the issue quickly and within 24 hours of requesting the quote on Yelp.

A+ experience. Responsive, communicative, prompt, and straightforward. Explained things clearly to me and got the job done exactly how I wanted. Very fair pricing as well. Looking forward to working with Edward again for all my electrical needs.

I contacted Ryan after running into a problem installing a new light fixture.  I reached out late Saturday morning and he was here by that afternoon!

He was kind, and professional and even took the time to explain to us where the issue was with the existing wiring (even though I'm sure it was obvious it mostly went over our heads). In no time he was at work putting in the new fixture while chatting with my husband and myself and even getting in a few pats on the head for our very eager puppy who was so excited to have someone new in the house.

When all was said and done we had a safely wired, fully functional light fixture in our living room much more quickly than I had anticipated. His pricing was fair and as he left my husband and I breathed a sigh of relief that we had finally found an electrician nearby that we feel we can count on for any future needs.

I would happily refer anyone looking for an electrician to Ryan.

I called Boz in the morning to have an issue with our electrical panel checked out, which was found in a home inspection and everyone at the company was extremely friendly and accommodating. I was referred here by the owner of Skyline Electric, since they couldn't fit us in.

We were hoping to get this issue addressed ASAP and Boz assured me they would get someone out between 12-2. I got a text message with a better time frame and the technician was even early! Mike showed up and he was friendly, compassionate and very knowledgeable. He is just a great person all around. He was able to quickly figure out the issue, fix it on the spot and had the upmost professionalism. He cleaned everything up and wouldn't accept my help.

I received an email soon after of a detailed account of what was completed to ensure to our buyers the problem was properly taken care of and everything was safe.

I would recommend Highlight Chicago and especially Mike for any work that needs to be done at all.

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

These guys are great! They were referred to us and they are great for all kinds of jobs. We originally used them for various electrical work such as changing and updating electrical boxes, to light fixtures, to moving, replacing and rerouting outlets and switches. We were looking to knock out a wall in our kitchen and we had called them for the electrical part of it and turns out they were able to do the carpentry work as well!!  We had them come and see the space and they were very respectful of our belongings. Covered everything super nicely and helped us move some of the things they were afraid could possibly get damaged. Very trust worthy, we left them alone in our home for 90% of the project, and they cleaned up after every time they came. They did a nice job painting the living room as well and all for a great price!! I would definitely recommend them!!

I hired Jake and Urban Power to add two electrical meters and relocate the circuit breakers out of the garden unit to a common area so all tenants could have access to them at my 3-Flat property.  He is a master of his craft and did a great job providing solutions to the issues I presented and working efficiently on the install and relocation as well as managing the permitting process with Com-Ed.  He has deep experience working with rental properties and gave me some great insights to add value to the property including installing security lighting which I hired him to do as well.  I would highly recommend Jake and Urban Power for any electrical job big or small.

Blacklite Electric not only came the same day as I called for service, they even gave a discount on their price.
My cat had sprayed into an electrical outlet which in turn shorted out all of the outlets in the living room & small kitchen of my condo.  When I called to describe the problem, Neville responded he would be able to have two guys (Johnny & Alex) out in about an hour.  He then texted me their rates, letting me know immediately that I was eligible for a discount.   When they arrived they were friendly, courteous, & professional.  Not only were they able to fix my outlet issue but when I asked about a light fixture that had been also giving me issues, they were more than willing to take a look at it and were quickly able to determine the source of the issue.  I was very pleased with their polite, prompt, knowledgeable service and would use them again.

The two people who came to install a ceiling fan, two sconces, and add a switch in a vintage apartment were efficient and knowledgeable. $125/worker/hour which seems like the standard rate, with no dilly-dallying.

I recently hired this electrician to install a Ring doorbell in my home and I couldn't be happier with his work! He was very professional, promptly arrived on time, and was able to install the device quickly without any problems. He even took the time to explain how the doorbell works and answer any questions I had. The installation itself was seamless and the doorbell works perfectly. I truly appreciate his attention to detail and dedication to providing top-notch service. I would highly recommend this electrician to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled professional. Top-notch service and a true 5-star experience! Thank you, Tom!

Outstanding very communicative on time reliable all above in every category.  Always answers always explains what is needled and why

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.

Fixed the issue -- it wasn't a straightforward one and the original fixer didn't hesitate to call in some help. The whole experience was fairly priced, open throughout the process, and produced great results.
