Best in Chicago IL

I had an issue last week where I had partial power in my apartment. Stefan was very responsive and was able to come the very next day. He arrived on time and was very helpful and professional. He walked me through options on what we could potentially do as a fix. In the end, he was able to fix the issue without it being a huge expense which was amazing and I was very thankful for. I am still going to consider a more long term fix that Stefan suggested, and would definitely use him for that work as well.

This is now my go-to plumber! Darrell is incredibly responsive and has always managed to find a plumber to come out for my emergency issues (basement flooding, clogged toilet). Zeno, David, and BJ were professional, courteous, honest, and saved my day and sanity more than once! They are truly the best and in my phone contacts for future projects.

Half the side of our kitchen stopped working. No circuit breakers tripped. Assumed it would be $$$$. David showed up right on time and fixed it in under an hour (some melted wires) - and told us what needed to probably be done to fix some wiring that wasn't up to code - with an estimate. Perfection!

Ted promptly replied to my estimate request and we were able to set up time a few days after. We had problems replacing a new outlet due to old wiring. Ted provided the estimate and that the job would take an hour which was accurate. He also kept us informed when he was running a bit behind due to traffic. Much appreciated since other contractors aren't always like this. He did a great job replacing the outlet, provided recommendations for the old wiring system, and even let us know the value in switching to LED bulbs.I highly recommend using Ted for electrical work. I know we will call him for future jobs!

Joe installed LED cabinet lighting for my kitchen and fireplace cabinet. He did a great job, taking his time to ensure the job was done right and that the work area was kept clean. Definitely will contact Joe for electrical jobs in the future!

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!

Edward and his crew had been exceptional.  They worked on our investment property to bring all electrical issues to code compliance.  I can't say enough about Edward, he is honest, goes the extra mile to make sure everything is completed with promptness.   He understood our deadlines and needs, he made it work no matter how challenged he was.   Greenline Electric is very reasonably priced and provided a very fair estimate.   Edward puts his customers first and did not fear the many challenges he was faced with.  Edward is knowledgeable about his work, keeps customers well informed,  professional and an absolute delight to work with.  I would highly recommend Edward and Greenline Electric for all your electrical needs.  

Thank you Edward!

We uncovered something weird when working on our 1920s home, and Ryan was able to come out right away to check it out and make sure the outlet was working properly. We look forward to working with Ryan again in the future!

If I could give Highlights Chicago more stars I would. I had an electrical outage in half of an apartment in a building my husband and I own. My husband is very handy and could not find the short in any of the electrical lines. I looked on yelp and called several highly rated companies but none could come out for over a week. At. Highlights they made time for me at the end of the day since this was an emergency. As it turns out they finished another job early were able to fit me in earlier. Ben and Martin were knowledgeable and went right to work. They located the short in the apartment as well as looked at the electrical panel for the building and made some adjustments.
They are now my numero uno for all electrical needs. And even better ... they were extremely reasonable cost wise.

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

High quality work for a great price. Very impressed and will be hiring them for more work in the future. They hung a chandelier in my house with very high ceilings and it looks great.

Jake and Lenox were a great team- they were efficient and were able to locate the source of our electrical problem. They replaced 2 GFI's and have literally brought light back into our lives! We'll definitely be using them again.

Blacklite Electric is awesome! We have called on Neville and his experienced team to install our cieling fan, hang a drop light and fix the electric wiring in our living room. Each time, we have received great service at a fantastic price! Plus, the team is especially friendly - which is always a plus! My husband and I cannot provide enough kudos to Blacklite!

Needed two new light fixtures installed.  There was a mix up on schedule but they were able to send someone same day.  Issac did a great job and made sure everything back in place.

Tom and his crew do such great work! Highly recommend them. They installed 4 outdoor outlets in our yard and also trenched wires underground so they were no longer exposed to the elements. They were on time, flexible, and just care about doing the job right. Tom is a really nice guy who walks you through all the work ahead of time. Don't hesitate to reach out to him!

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

Alex responded to my posting quickly, was clear on costs, and came out at 8am the following day as promised. I gave wrong information on parts and he was ready with solutions to salvage the job and gave great advice. Would definitely hire again.

So. I grew up in a home where my dad fixed everything. Literally everything. The struggle of having a handy man in the city is real and we have used Handy and were not thrilled as a lot of larger property management companies use Handy and as a lowly single property home owner you fall lower in priority.

Love how you do all the communication through text and email and app and they showed up on time, were super fair for price and estimated work. SO HAPPY. I'll be using them for everything now.  Edgar could not have been nicer if he had tried.

Now I will fix everything in my house whenever it comes up :)
