Best in Chicago IL

Excellent response time, extremely friendly and fixed a faulty breaker in no time flat. Highly recommend and will definitely use this company again.

Easy communication and scheduling, Anil provided excellent service. Very quick and efficient and gave options for solutions and was transparent about pricing differences.

This is a follow up to my previous review.  In short, T&D told me I needed a new transformer for my chandelier and that I had to find and order the transformer myself.  T&D would not order it.  It turns out T&D was 100% wrong.  I only needed new wire nuts that cost about $1.  T&D charged me $135 to incorrectly tell me that I needed a new transformer.  
Previous review: T&D was atrocious.  I do not think they are qualified to handle most electrical services.  I called them and explained that a chandelier was no longer working after the circuit breaker tripped one time.  The electrician came out and said that I needed a new transformer inside of the chandelier but they would NOT order it because they considered it a special order part.  Since they do not order parts, they should have told me that when I called.  I never would have had them come out.  To make matters worse the electrician took the chandelier and canopy down but did not want to put it back up.  He wanted to leave wires out in the open.  He eventually put it back up but did not do it correctly.  Now I am out of $135 and have nothing to show for it.  I have to hire another electrician who can order the part and install it.

Responded to quote request very quickly.  They were able to come out for the work the next day.  Completed the task quickly and efficiently. Very satisfied.

Not sure of relationship between reviewer on June 27 and Joe. But I will factually restate what happened on my first and only experience with Joe. He call me at about 11:00 to say he would arrive in 20 min. He arrived about 11:20. Fixed 2 bad switches easily. Then started on the main project, a lighting fixture on our kitchen ceiling. It was a fluorescent fixture with 8 bulbs, custom done. He tried to fix it and recommended upgrade to LED. That did not work. He then said that he could not fix it and I would have to buy a new fixture. He then did proceed to try to fix it more and cut 11 wires (I still have the 11 wires he cut out) while swearing. He then said that it could not be fixed, and we would have to buy a new one. He then charged me $150. I asked for a receipt of labor and parts. He said he did not do that for such a small job. I asked how much the labor was for 1 hour - it was now 12:20. He said he arrived at 11:00. I reminded him that he called me at 11:00 and arrived at 11:20. He then dropped the price to $125 - so I assume $75 for labor (what he had told me his hourly rate was) and $50 for parts (parts being 2 small plastic light switches) A place he recommended to call to get a light replacement confirmed my belief that this would be custom new lighting and extremely expensive. I called another electrician, who came over, replaced the wiring that was cut by Joe and had the light working that day with much better lighting than the fixture had previously. This new electrician gave me an appropriate bill with labor and parts appropriately identified (cheaper hourly rate than Joe I must add). So not sure who Aaron is but given his quick response to my review, I am a little suspect. Do what you want - just want others to avoid my experience.

First of all, I rarely write reviews but I was so impressed I felt the need to write this one.  I needed a light switch replaced in my kitchen.  Chris responded quickly with a very fair estimate yesterday and was able to schedule an appointment for today.  Chris is professional, courteous, efficient and very reasonable with his charges.  I have already discussed having him replace some light fixtures in my house.  I highly recommend ALC Electric!

Hm.  I'm not sure if this company ever served me, but I ended up in a spot on the Yelp website where I had to leave a review or at least stars... so 5 stars or zero stars?  I'm more of a five star person, so there you go.

Me-can you come over and give me an estimate on a easy open ceiling basement to update some old lights with new up-to-date lights,I'm less than 4miles from you:   Ryan,sure but it's $200 for a diagnostic fee!  Omg!! This guys a jabroni,is that how you make money instead of actually doing the job

Very friendly and responsive customer service - Niki was great. They asked us to send pictures of our panel and the work area so they were able to give us a quote over the phone - very efficient. They scheduled the repair within a few days of the call. Electricians were on time, wore masks and answered all our questions.  The repair work was very quick, professional.  They took care to be neat with their work and the install, running the line out of sight in finished areas and exactly where we needed it.  Would recommend and will use for future projects.

We are in the process of tearing down a house we recently purchased, and hired Rogelio at Alex Electrical to cut the main electrical line from the pole to the house, as well as remove the cable lines, the electric meter, and the electric box in the house. Rogelio was extremely knowledgeable, very responsive, professional, and got the job done in less time than the estimate. He also mentioned that his company installs outlets, light fixtures, etc. We will definitely be hiring him again in the future for any electrical needs we have. Thank you, Rogelio.

They did an awesome job with a painting project at my townhouse! The painting looks great, and they were very reliable and pleasant to work with! There was clear communication throughout the process, and the job was finished very efficiently and professionally. I would highly recommend and hire again in the future!

Recently used Urban Power to have third panel installed at my 2 flat in Logan Square and the needed infrastructure installed to house a new third meter.  I found Jake to be easy to work with. I feel all work was completed satisfactorily and in a timely manner.  I also felt the pricing was fair compared to other quotes I received.  I felt some of the other quotes I received, the companies were trying to over sell me.  Jake quoted the proper materials need to get the job done.  I would gladly use Jake again in the future and recommend him.

My first Yelp review ever.  I am very compelled to write this.

On a Saturday morning, I heard a pop sound and my kitchen track lights, island pendant, bathroom and bedroom lights all went out.  Tried turning the fuse on/off and that didn't  work.  I found Blacklite on Yelp and b/c of the great reviews, I called and left a message.  He (not sure who I communicated with Neville or another person) promptly sent me a text, like within seconds.  We exchanged a few more text messages, where he troubledshooted and solved my problem.  We never even spoke!   Lights came back on, he never came out to my condo, didn't charge me a dime.  In this day, when sadly we are prepared to be scammed, Blacklite is AMAZING.  He could have easily come out and billed me a higher weekend rate, but did not.  What honesty and integrity.  I will reccommend and use Blacklite for all future electrical needs.

I needed a ceiling fan and light fixture replaced. The fan I was installing was unique and unusually heavy. Julio was the technician that came to my home. He had great attention to detail. Any adjustment he needed to make he informed me of prior to receive authorization. He was very respectful of my home, wore shoe covers, and protected the furniture. He expertly installed both fixtures and cleaned up all work areas before he left. I highly recommend and would use this company again.

Honest, transparent about costs, and delivered excellent work on time for installing an electric car charger. He looked up specs on the car company website, going the extra mile to ensure he did the best work.

Wonderful communication and service from Frank and his father. We couldn't be happier with the installation of our lights, switches, and other necessary repairs. Would highly recommend them for your future home needs.

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.

It took 2 techs to visit and hang 3 pendant lights and run a new outlet, WTF? Twice the estimated time and overv$1,000!
I asked that the first tech return, but no and  the second guy spent 2 hours troubleshooting the problem.
Service is a nice and convenient concept, but I'll hire professional next time.
Both gentlemen were nice and professional, but neither worth $100+/hr.
