I had some wall lights at my house I wanted to remove, but I wasn't sure how to handle myself since they were hardwired. AC/DC Electrical handled my request in a timely manner (same week I reached out). Stefan was very kind and even ran to Home Depot to help me address a couple of other unforeseen issues with loose outlets. The service was also fairly priced and cost effective when compared to other quotes I got. I highly recommend hiring AC/DC for their services!

We called at 3pm on a Saturday and Darrell not only picked up his phone but was at our place by 4pm to fix 2 rooms that the lights had cut out. He was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and diagnosed the issue very quickly. He took the time to make sure I understood what the issue was and what our options were to fix the issue. He also we incredibly considerate with COVID -- he wore his mask and sanitized before entering our house. I would recommend Darrell to anyone looking for an electrician!

I had a great experience with T&D. We scheduled over email and they were very responsive and clear in what was needed for a quote. I had a
Chandelier hung, a ceiling fan replaced and a new ceiling fan installed. The work was done very well and efficiently and coincided with the expected quote.  I would absolutely use them again.

I got Ted's number from a neighbor when our sump pump went out. Ted was able to come out that day and install a new one! Ted saved our basement from being totally flooded!

Fast efficient knowledgeable service and fair price. Can't beat that!

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

Over the weekend a pretty rough storm came through and worked a number on my front porch light causing a short to occur and loss of electric through the entire upstairs of my home. After ruling out a blown fuse, immediately, I was concerned about the safety of my home and what costs might be associated with this type of repair.  But unfortunately, it was a Saturday and I knew it might be difficult to have someone come out right away without it costing me an arm and a leg.  After doing a search, I was lucky enough to have found Greenline Electric, Edward answered the phone, put my concerns at ease and within an hour was at my home, with an assistant, and ready to evaluate and take care of the issue. He was very upfront about the cost of the visit and gave me all available options at a fair price.  He and his team were knowledgeable, courteous, and helpful.    Once he addressed the safety issue, he had indicated he was going to come back early the following week to finish weatherproofing the front porch light, now that the safety issue had been addressed.  And just as promised, he reached out to me a few days later and came back to finish the job.  If you are in need of an electrician who will take the time to find and solve your issues at a reasonable price (even in stressful, emergency situations), check out Greenline Electric!

The power went out in half my house on Sunday morning. After resetting all the circuit breakers and calling Comed. I starting calling electricians. My call was promptly answered, and Mr. Ryan explained that he was out on a call, would be available in a couple hours, and he would call me back. He did call me back, but by that time, Comed had restored the power. While he did not actually come out and provide service, I was satisfied with the response and would not hesitate to call Ryan Electric in the future.

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

Needed a new light fixture hung in the kitchen. The guys were courteous, professional, and thorough. We plan on using them again soon.

Highly recommend Jake and his team for electrical projects large and small. Early on during COVID he installed a new outlet so we could relocate a desk and while there provided some options for adding light to our dimly lit basement. We finally contacted him for the basement work and he responded right away and was able to come within a few days. The basement looks fantastic and Jake went out of his way making multiple trips to stores looking for hard to find parts. Fair prices and high quality work!

This was my second time hiring Blacklite Electric and it was a pleasure working with both Neville and Johnny!

Neville was communicative from the start. We were able to find a time very shortly after I reached out.

Johnny did a great job fixing the super old wiring in my home and replacing 4 light fixtures. Johnny was very respectful of COVID restrictions, wearing a mask the whole time. Payment was easy over Venmo.

I will call Blacklite again next time I need electrical work done!

Kinetic to the rescue! Even in the middle of a pandemic,  I was able to get an apt to fix much needed lighting issues  in my house! I have used them once before and was so happy to have them back... even got to meet Ted! So friendly, knowledgeable and fast! I would highly highly recommend Kinetic for anything electrical that you need! Awesome people all the way around!!

Tom installed a Tesla rapid charger in our garage yesterday. He did this with professionalism and expertise. I will hire him again for future electrical needs.

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.

I cannot express sincerely enough how disappointed I am in Fixer after having used their service for the last 4 years. The only reason they get two stars is because the actual handy people are pretty great. The shortest version of this story is that due to a complete accident (which wasn't a big deal to me because accidents happen), my shower door broke. It took Fixer 144 DAYS to resolve the issue, during which time I had to hound them relentlessly to actually see any movement. At no point did Fixer seem actively interested in retaining me as a customer in the future or offer me anything beyond fixing the damage caused.

December 30th, I had Kenny out to help me with a few tasks, including replacing a broken seal on my shower door (which had broken again after a previous fixer replaced it months prior). Kenny determined that the door hinge was damaged and needed to be replaced, and informed me that Fixer would order this and send a repair person out to fix it.

By January 21st, I had still not heard from Fixer despite reaching out twice about this issue, and emailed with a complaint. Fixer apologized right away and said my part was ordered and due in February 3rd, and that they'd waive the special order fee and credit me $25 towards my next visit. This was just fine with me.

January 29th, Augustin came out to replace the hinge, at which time we discovered that Fixer had NOT ordered a hinge (as Kenny had outlined in the purchase order, which I saw both at that time and on the 29th) but rather a shower door seal (which was unnecessary as it would just keep breaking until the door was repaired). In an attempt to resolve my issue, Augustin attempted to repair the hinge, and in his attempt the entire door shattered with such force that it chipped the paint on my bathroom door and walls. This wasn't the issue; mistakes happen.

It took until March 1st for Fixer to have worked with another company (Ardmore Glass) to get my door replaced. They scheduled a visit for March 2nd. Nobody arrived. I was told there had been a mistake and Ardmore would be coming on the 9th. They came and determined they'd need to replace the entire shower surround, as there was no remaining door hinge. I was told by Fixer on March 28th that Ardmore expected to receive my new frame that week and that I could expect glass to be installed 7-10 days later. I said I could be available for install on March 30th, and was told the surround hadnt arrived yet and they'd let me know when it did. I heard nothing from Fixer until I reached out again on April 6th and was told on the 7th that my frame had 'finally' arrived. Weird how that happened the day after I pestered them.

April 15th, Ardmore Glass came out again and took more measurements but installed nothing. May 1st, I reached out to Fixer AGAIN to follow up about the status of my project. May 2nd, I received an apology explaining that Fixer does 'not have a complete process for when elevated issues like this arise' and informing me that they were 'committed to making this right' for me. May 5th, Ardmore came out and installed my shower surround and glass, which I would have thought was the end of this nonsense but nope! Ardmore hadn't put any sort of seal around the glass, meaning that when I used my shower, water poured out all over my bathroom floor. I emailed Fixer yet again on May 10th to inform them of this issue. They offered to send a manager out to take the measurements for a seal and I provided those measurements myself. On May 12th, Fixer then said that because this was installed by Ardmore, it was their responsibility to resolve the leak, and that they could return on Monday, May 16th to fix it. I was unavailable that day and asked if they could come on the 17th instead; I was told Fixer would verify this time with Ardmore and let me know ASAP. At 5pm on the 16th, I had to reach out to Fixer to see if there had been an update from Ardmore, and I was told 'we would need to check back in with them. At this point we think it may be better to aim for 9am on Wednesday or Thursday.' I said either would work.

The final and most completely ridiculous element was that then, the NEXT MORNING, Tuesday the 17th (when I had originally offered my availability and been told the above nonsense about needing to check back in with them) I received a text from Fixer at 8:47am that read Hi Theresa- we're terribly sorry for the confusion. Ardmore is scheduled for Tuesday morning-we just heard back from them. If that still works for you, they will give you a call when they are on their way. I was given THIRTEEN MINUTES NOTICE of an appointment.

Even attempting to cancel my Care & Protect membership, a service about which I had been really excited when it launched, was a joke. I received an email response that only read 'd' from the manager I'd been corresponding with on the 17th of May. It took until TODAY, the 23rd of May, to get an email back confirming my membership was cancelled. What a mess.
